Yes it is.

1. Every vote counts but in my jurisdiction the people I would like to win generally do. I’m not _changing_ anything with my vote.

2. It’s not clear to me that these protests are effective. Do you have evidence that they are?

Plenty of Americans do. The structure of the US government means that I have no meaningful influence through my vote, and it’s unclear how to protest effectively from a the exurbs of a flyover state. So what the hell can any of us do?

But if you are hiring people that have had that luxury, and yet have chosen immoral paths, what does that say about them and about you?

You’re playing chess. You see that you have a forced mate in several moves. You’ve already won, but it will happen in 2, or 5, or 10 moves.

Didn’t your momma teach you that two wrongs don’t make a right??

If someone is a jerk to you, and then you’re a jerk to them… you’re still a jerk.

Stupid for us, but I bet people enable it just to get the empty page to go away.

As someone living in SF since before it was implemented, getting the causality right and excluding cofounders seems VERY hard. Things have changed so much here since the early 00s.

Don’t you think they thought this was self-interest?

At scale no group is against its own personal interests. It sucks and it’s hypocritical and annoying, but that’s humans.

If you pick 3% you need 800k/yr! Oh no!

Sadly most of us pay far more than 7%. Fortunately mostly that’s ok and it all works out.

(Except we will work until we die, but hey! Capitalism!)

But “making lots of bets” is a measure of your appetite for risk, not your acumen. So unless you are filthy rich (in which case, kudos!) I think you are more proving parent’s point.

How killer would FSD have to be for it to count as the killer app?

I’d pay at least double for a car with FSD. More if the car’s longevity could be established. Is that killer enough? (Real question).

To be fair, if they don’t know that they probably run Android, and are you even writing for them?

I bet their bubbles are… green. The horror!

It won’t and believing it will is part of ensuring nothing changes. All energy you spend on personally changing should be instead spent lobbying, organizing, and otherwise working politically to effect systemic change. There is no value in individual change. It’s worse than doing nothing.

And the emergency docket is exactly where one should look for these very recent very blatantly illegal actions and lawsuits aiming to counter them.

So yes the data is in, and yes it’s bad, and emphatically yes it’s exactly what this thread is saying. In case anyone reading in good faith was wondering.

Lol. “Most” is doing a lot of work there.

I think the point is that’s not “gaming” that’s just how voting works. Gaming would be getting your preference by voting against it.

Thank you for this. I think Niehues has been incredibly prolific and successful, but also his marketing of himself as sort of the originator and one true purveyor of this style has been even more successful.

> This is somewhat unsurprising, as code review … may not provide immediate value to the person reviewing (or their employer).

If you get “credit” for contributing when you review, maybe people (and even employers, though that is perhaps less likely) would find doing reviews to be more valuable.

Not sure what that looks like; maybe whatever shows up in GitHub is already enough.

This was super clear and interesting, thanks!

I want this for my personal agent project, too! (Well really I want it for Opus…) I hope it isn’t just “who you know” that determines whether you can use your codex sub.

I don’t know that the vast majority of Americans know who Eric Schmidt is. And unless they find little green men, no one will care about this project, so it won’t affect his (essentially nonexistent) reputation.

It’s not unlike if you had a blog post about a gardening project in your backyard. Perhaps interesting to gardeners, but approximately no one cares.

Low effort cynicism.

There’s a book. Some Christians have even read it!

That’s about all you can say about the accuracy of the bible in describing what Christians believe.

For instance saying “Christians believe in killing men that have sex with menstruating women” is pretty ridiculous.

There’s no more a Christian bible in that sense — something that lays out what Christians believe.

“X believes Y ” almost invariably just means “I think most X I’ve come across seem to believe something like Y”. Read it as such.

Exactly, the whole point is it wouldn’t take 30 minutes (more like 3 hours) if the tooling didn’t change all the fucking time. And if the ecosystem wasn’t a house of cards 8 layers of json configuration tall.

Instead you’d learn it, remember it, and it would be useful next time. But it’s not.

I never understood this complaint. You won’t get a “loop trace” when you convert your tail calls into an iterative algorithm. And your code will be less readable to boot.

> Only have a child if you feel… certain that when they are an adult they will not resent you.

Resenting one’s parents, even like, a really really lot, is a small price indeed to pay to be alive. The other option is to not exist.

> It's "useless", perhaps, but I find it fun!

Reason enough I’d say.

“If”, oh, idk, just the tool 90% of potential users will have installed.
