Railsify··on Peloton got trapped in its trillion-dollar fantasy
I friend of mine just bought a 1600 dollar model, you can get a flagship cell phone for about the same amount.
Railsify··on Coinbase CEO tweets how they came up with Super Bowl ad, lied about it
The coinbase UX is terrible. They really need some help with UI/UX, not advertising.
Railsify··on Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq
rocket job is pretty solid too, has a lot of the pro sidekiq features for free https://rocketjob.io/
Railsify··on Starship is threatening NASA’s moon contractors
Well said. Administration after administration comes and goes and neither party fixes the problem, it's almost like there is one party and the dual party system is just to extract donations during election season. I feel like it's all a big show.
Railsify··on U.S. Inflation Accelerates to 40-Year High
as long as your income rises that will be true
Railsify··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
The worst part is that people are paying 12k for "fsd"
Railsify··on How big was the Tonga eruption?
But there would be a spot where the pressure waves would cross?
Railsify··on A routine gem update ended up creating $73k worth of subscriptions
This is well stated. It's about taking your fair share of responsibility, as engineering we bend code to our will, this includes reading the code of opensource packages.

Yes, I generally scan the changelog and look at the diff on github from the previous version. Not doing so is penny wise and pound foolish, the risk to brand and the risk of downtime is too great to install a crypto miner, or a vulnerable log4j version, etc.

Semantic Versioning does not mean you can update without reading the changelog. Blame here remains with the developer who updated without reading the changelog.
Railsify··on China hoards over half the world's grain
They should string arm themselves into taking climate action.
Railsify··on Ask HN: Startup acquired by a large company and it sucks. What to do?
There is always a ramp up time when joining a large co, get your requests in as soon as possible, after 6 months of project planning and logging requests with other teams that you rely on you can get a flow going.

Kick back, enjoy the ride and always have a list of reasons that are not tied directly to you for why your assigned project is delayed.
Railsify··on HTTP/3 Is Fast
But they all start at the same anchor value, I was immediately able to interpret them and did not feel misled.
Railsify··on Americans overestimate social mobility in their country
Thank you. The article is using statistics to lie.
Railsify··on Chemical emitted by babies could make men more docile, women more aggressive
I would guess they decided to approach you before they smelled the baby. How close do you have to be to smell a baby. If they were close enough to smell I suspect the had already approached you by the strictest definition of approach.
Railsify··on DNS doesn't “propagate”
It depends on what you mean by propagate.
Railsify··on US Should Create Strategy by End of '22 to Reduce Increasing Ocean Plastic Waste
That is correct, unless you did some due diligence and were fed incorrect information by a universally trusted authority, in that case you were deceived. You need to take personal responsibility until it becomes abundantly clear that you were duped into some behavior. You take responsibility for your own actions, you don't get to blame anyone. If you throw the bottle out the window, you polluted. The comparison to phillip morris is not apt, is Coca-Cola claiming plastic does not harm the environment, no they are not. Phillip Morris claimed smoking did not cause physical harm, very different.

Don't let yourself fall into a state of victimhood, where if you find your behavior producing outcomes that is not optimal you start looking for external forces to blame, you need to start taking responsibility for your own actions.

Railsify··on In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°
That's right. We are not talking about forced labor. Choosing to risk your life to better the lives of your family members and society is part of being part of a community.

"hamstrung and bottlenecked", that's called regulation.
Railsify··on US Should Create Strategy by End of '22 to Reduce Increasing Ocean Plastic Waste
I tend to think that the person who buys the bottle and chooses to throw it away or recycle it has produced the waste, no one throws sealed bottles of Coca-Cola away.

If I buy a bottle of Coca-Cola, drink it then throw it out my car window, is Coca-Cola responsible for that bottle being swept into a storm drain and into a river? I don't think so.

Coca-Cola produces valuable goods, if you choose to take an action that results in the bottle floating out to sea, it's your fault, you don't get to blame Coca-Cola. That is what I mean by personal responsibility.

If my local recycling company sells bulk recycled plastic to an Asian commodity broker with the understanding that the plastic will be used to make new goods and the broker decides to dump the plastic in the ocean, is my local recycling company to blame for the plastic in the Ocean?

Railsify··on US Should Create Strategy by End of '22 to Reduce Increasing Ocean Plastic Waste
I think each country should take responsibility for their own waste, just as each individual should take responsibility for their own actions. If we all do that and stop looking to our neighbors to clean up our messes, the world will be a better place. When Americans recycle, we certainly don't understand it gets shipped to Asia and dumped in the ocean. Let's not indoctrinate our citizens to believe it's their fault that Asian countries dump crap in the ocean, you're not doing the Americans who look to the media for training on what to think any good.

Like have the government tell people the maximum they can charge for a good?
Railsify··on Poll finds more than half of Bay Area residents plan to leave for good
I visited SF for a few job interview two years ago. I immediately felt that unless you are uber rich, living in that type of city is not great. It's good cor career advancement but other than that you can have most of the same experiences in cities without so much crime.

Railsify··on Amazon says it’s permanently banned 600 Chinese brands for review fraud
They don't care because they don't set the prices except when it's an amazon branded product.

I wouldn't recommend a costco subscription unless you grocery shop there.
