Eating a common egg?

Beginner in IT:

“The problem is that there isn’t one”

Expert:

“The problem is that there isn’t one”

Yeah. It was already happening circa USB3. It’s not because of the connectors, but the broadening spectrum of requirements of client devices.

Maybe USB-C was a missed opportunity to address it, but it certainly didn’t “start the fire”.

Yes. To be clear, I’m not complaining. It’s what elevates this to high art.

Five messages, and each one of them has some kind of spelling error

gloriously right

Not really. The dinos were half-baked imitations, not exact replicas. And they evolved in ways the scientists didn’t anticipate, because their reach exceeded their grasp.

There’s definitely an anti-capitalist message, but don’t dismiss the warning about prematurely greenlighting high-stakes scientific initiatives. That’s relevant to the modern world, no matter what our economic model is.

LLMs come to mind. There’s a section of the AI-skeptic folks that say the only problem with AI is the profit motive. I’m not so sure. People will use tech to do all kinds of horrible shit even if they don’t stand to materially benefit. Just look at 4chan.

Except for conspiracy theories.

Thanks I hate it!

Fuck purity. Be a hypocrite. Buy sharpies and poster board from Amazon and then go protest Jeff Bezos’ next dick rocket. Do what it takes to get your message out there.

Don’t put yourself at a disadvantage just to keep your halo. There are plenty of people out there being ideologically consistent. You never hear about them, because that gets you nowhere.

I get it, it’s not meant to be used this way, but like…

“The purpose of a system is what it does”

Pretty callous and myopic responses here.

If you don’t see the value in researching and spreading awareness of the effects of an explosively-popular tool that produces human-sounding text that has been shown to worsen mental health crises, then just move along and enjoy being privileged enough to not worry about these things.

Unauthorized Bread

Bug report driven development

(And I use app reviews as my bug tracker)

It’s a combination of:

• Distrust of science, experts, and industry
• Belief that managing disease in any way is somehow interfering with God’s will
• Belief that keeping “weak” individuals (human or non-human) alive is a waste of resources or steers evolution down a dead end

For a second, I had no idea wtf this meme was on about.

Then I had memories come rushing in, and it was honestly kind of overwhelming.

10/10, would retrieve lost memories again.

Gorge of the Gungle

Antitrust is the right approach. (As opposed to copyright.) I hope Google gets decimated.

I believe two contradictory things here:

• It’s impossible for anyone to still be confused about who Trump is at this point
• It’s possible for Joe Rogan to be confused about anything and everything

If you’re not deliberately min-maxing the CAP Theorem or doing EDA, there’s no reason to use microservices and every reason not to.

It is not just an implementation detail or a matter of preference. There are fundamental UX implications.

That can be a net positive for users (and developers). But if you’re doing it “just cuz”, you’re gonna have a bad time.
