- This also makes labor laws much less effective because the companies move countries to avoid them.
- I think labor is worried about a bunch of practical things that the Democrats didn't know how to communicate and Trump did.
Did he mislead them? Yes but honestly, so did a lot of Democrats.
All that to say, yes, but Capital has a lot more resources available to mess with people's head.
- Claiming that all of these would not exist without VC is hard to believe.
- Yeah, this is a deliberate choice to make labor less powerful. Capital is willing to be less efficient for that. He does touch upon this by saying that Capital wants every worker to be replaceable.
- I feel like this is basically what the Rails world does. Sidekiq handles a lot of this for you and it's honestly an amazing tool.
It does rely on redis, but it's basically the same idea.
- I think you are being reductive on your original comment. The idea of cycling planning and implementation is nothing new, and quite used on the other disciplines. Saying that agile is the problem is misguided and pointing to other engineering disciplines for "they do it better" is usually a sign that you don't talk to those engineers.
Of course we can plan things better, but implementation does inform planning and vice versa and denying that is denying reality.
- I find it weird that you are not DV since the stuff you list here has caused a lot of issues for a lot of people _and_ things have gotten much much worse. The internet is so much more prevalent than it was 15 years ago. The danger is much higher.
The idea of having nothing to do is absurd, child safety is and should be a parent primary concern. Roblox is basically gambling, it puts kids as targets for predators and makes them addicted to several things.
Reading a comment on a news story like this is very very frustrating.
- Nonsense. I know and talk to multiple Engineers all the time and they all envy our position of continuing to fix issues in the project.
Mechanical engineers having to work around other component failures all the time because their lead time is gigantic and no matter how much planning they do, failures still pop-up.
The idea that Software Engineering has more bugs is absurd. Electronic engineers, mechanical, electric, all face similar issues to what we face and normally don't have the capacity to deploy fixes as fast as we do because of real world constraints.
- That isn't a reasonable response because governments can't be changed in a whim and aren't controlled by a single person, two good things.
- I lost power for 10h in my city recently and it was a big fucking deal. The last 5 years that's the first time that happened. I would say I have less than a hour of downtime per year in the other years
PS I don't live in the US.
- The idea that an AI can keep the authors voice just means it is so unoriginal that it doesn't make a difference.
- You're claiming all of this without a product launch? If so, this doesn't seem like a counterpoint at all.
- "Monopolies aren't so bad, the company is treating me quite well" is not a good counter argument.
- Never works in practice is such a strong statement and I would argue that most of the time is because the technical people avoid politics entirely, like the article says
- I think pretty much any non trivial C example has memory safety issues. It doesn't mean that they aren't useful and can't be used. But time and time again we have seen security reports that point to memory issues. So no, I don't think I'm asking for something obvious, quite the contrary. I think the claim that it's possible to write big C programs that are memory safe is really strong and I heavily disagree with it.
- I wasn't trying to be a dick, I am saying that my experience is that no big C program is ever safe. You replied that it is possible and I asked for an example. Providing a small script to prove that big C programs are safe isn't enough.
- >Yes it did, of course. Maybe it takes years of practice, the assistance of tools (there are many, most very good), but it's always been possible to write memory safe large C programs.
Can you provide examples for it? Because it honestly doesn't seem like it has ever been done.
- Yeah, it's crazy. I have gotten ads on Gmail that are clearly fraud.
On my email! I really think Google should be liable for shit like that.
- I find it so weird how we just accept the fact that ads can be for fake things and not blame YouTube/Google for those things.
- That's bizarre. I watch a lot of great content on YouTube that's possible because those people get paid. I would rather like if YouTube paid them _more_ because the sponsors and patrons of the world prove that not all views are the same. Sadly, a lot of shit content gets lots and lots of views
- I don't think it's reasonable. That becomes basically the only thing to do outside of work. Highly unlikely at the very least.
- Athletes are not the same as normal people, who have 1h or so a day to exercise.
You can't outrun a bad diet is a common saying around my parts.
- _Athletes_ are completely different from the normal people looking to exercise. Can you spend 4 hours of your day exercising?
- That's really nice but not really true. There is another you that you need to convince to do boring stuff. That's our own body fighting against doing that stuff. Will is a finite resource.
- Eeeh. Exercise doesn't spend enough energy for high calories foods to be worth it. If you want to lose weight that is. A donut is a lot of exercise and muscle building leads to a small but not sufficient calorie spend. The majority of calorie spend still comes from the organs and general body maintenance
- Really? What was that? That's awesome
- And who determines which is which? It is quite a hard problem.
