My feed is less than 5% people posted content now anyway because friends and familly stopped posting. Ultimately, everyone posting was a fad that has faded, and we're moving back to curated content again.

Want a partner to help build it? Count me in.

The reason an article like this are so irritating is because it has such a narrow view of peoples capabilities and diminishes folks that dont fit in a narrow spectrum.

I worked at a company that took 3 years to migrate a few services across k8s clusters, a task that would normally take me just 3 months. They he-hawed because I hadn't learned to write go though, so they thought I was the retard somehow. No one could run the entire app locally but me, but I don't write Java.

The moral is, different engineers have different strengths, and if your running around thinking people are zero's - the problem is likely with leadership, and not the IC. In this case, the author seems like a week, inexperienced leader, not a great engineer.

I disagree. The author calls some engineers zeros and i have never actually met a zero engineers, but i sure have seen egalitarean price treat people like that and subsequently get no output. That's a failure of the author/engineers leader, not an IC.

Have you ever seen a group of individually strong engineers accomplish nothing because they spent all thier time fighting and/or building technically correct stuff that has no business use case? I sure have.

And likewise, I have seen technically weak engineers who are capable of getting along with others deliver great output with high business value.

Imho, the fact the author calls some engineers "0's" is the type of egalitarian douchenozzelry that I have seen bring entire teams to a halt, and why I think the author comes off as a blow hard. If you think any person is a zero, the more likely truth is you don't know how to properly asses a person's skills and put them to use where they fit - and that's an eng leadership failure, not an ic failure.

Lol....90% of senior engineers are trolls when it comes to code review.

Learn to write tests and apply a code linter. You will have joined the élite top 10% for doing so. Good luck!

So, basically he wants to do everything that was in the ACLU post that the article started to critisize....just now he gets to whine about 'the liberals' while doing so.

Gawd, these hate filled people are insufferable.

The author conveniently forgets that Natives had no concept of land ownership, only land use. Stop using the land and you no longer had any rights to it - it wasn't something 'passed down'.

This is a fun problem to see on here (for me) - because I solved a lot of these problems at my last company when I built them a dev enviroment that ran over 30 services, and growing.

It was written as a makefile that wrapped docker compose commands, but that's just because it was the easiest to mvp.

I considered it a "framework for running a large collection of containers locally".

I solved the ports issue by using env vars like a switchboard, with an iPortService=<inside container port> and oPortService=<outside network port unique to network-layer>

Then i used two directories, one for a data layer that ran datastores, and one for app, for apps. You controlled the layers as groups.

You could operate the layers separately, initialize the dbs, and also reset their storage state definitely.

Then I had to solve the "docker ps" output problem, since its unreadable. So, i just split it to 3 commands: state,ports, & running. It outputs what you expect.

I should re-write it into better code and open source it. It was fun to build.

Car Thing is a physical device that looks alike a 7" tablet with a giant knob/button sticking off the face. It originally only did Spotify, ow it can do other stuff I guess.

The info page says it's based on some spottify thing I never heard od or used. It would be nice if it said what it actually did.

I miss the office A LOT. Remote pays more, otherwise I would volunteer my butt easily.

What was it?

Use SSO where possible, and use a password manager like 1password, onelogin, or bitwarden when you have to.

Was this written by AI? It's hardly comprehensible while trying to discuss some the most well read litterature ever written.

My father migrated from Cuba in the 60's and anytime I asked him whether it was worth me visiting he promptly said

"No, absolutely not. Don't even waste your time considering it. Castro ruined it and it will never be the same".

I think the moral is that for many Cubans the embargo isn't against the people, it's against the Cuban government, and they genuinely hate the government with every fiber of their existence. They hate what Castro took from them and have no dissolutions that letting up the embargo would strengthen that governments rule while only providing minuscule benefits to the people. Until the government regime changes in Cuba, any pressure we can apply is worth it.

A lot of concert goers are under 18 and dint have valid state id.

"An unforseen consequence" they say....but idk, having been to Vietnam where orange rivers can be normal, because of iron deposits in the soil, I felt like I knew the answer before clicking the article, and I'm just a schmo that knows almost nothing, not a climate scientist. I feel like this could have been fairly easily figured by someone who spends thier life thinking about such things.

It doesn't work very well. I put in my own web address, which is definitely behind cloudfront, and it said it's unprotected, as well as a bunch of other vulns it doesn't have.

I'm in Vietnam right now and the internet is blazing fast - way better than my Cox back home.

#1 FICO delivered a score for irs cheating 25 yrs ago results that were so accurate the IRS dropped it. #2 "the wealthy" pfffft, I call nonsense. Some wealthy, but I bet 95% of the revenue will come from the middle class that do not know how, nor have the time, to fight the AI accusations. #3 how are they examining phone records without concent?

Except it's more like 80/20, not 50/50.

you could print a passport however you like, but that doesn't mean any other country will recognize it and allow you entry.

I try once to resolve things...and then I just keep insisting they provide thier mailing address for my small claim suit. I say it kindly and matter of fact, not angrily. I talk about it as if it's just normal business for me. I might say 'I appreciate you trying to help, but I have spent 1 hr on this to no avail, it's just more time and cost efficient to file small claims suite. Judges have a way of getting to it quick. What is the business mailing address for legal correspondence?'.

I wouldn't say it works like magic, but I can say it has worked several times.

This strange friend of mine had downloaded the entire collection just so he could peruse the pictures easier, in a random way, and created

art.nelsonenzo.com.

It's fun to explore, but annoyingly he never finished it with the Metadata. So you can never search, or get them back in the same order, nor know what your looking at. He said he redirects reddit.com to there on his work computer and he just uses it to meditate. Annoying.

So I can write a Dockerfile using 17 verbs (13, actually), and it's understandable language to a 4th grader... or I can write 120 lines of complete abstract nix code that means nothing to someone doing software for 20 years.

Hrmmmm...this is such a TOUGH decision.

meh, he's not wrong, but he's not right either. The author assumes that the manager above them is actually right about the impact, and therefor the priority, of the problem. In the more common case, where the manager has the ol'head-up-the-arse problem, the real solution is to know how to kiss-tushy and pick your battles carefully. If you can't come to terms with being right, but also keeping your mouth shut at the same time, then indeed your management potential will be limited.

In tough times a Jr person can be more attractive to companies because they are a fraction of the cost. Also, don't underestimate how much these layoffs are companies just dumping thier overpaid bloat.

I know the founders of bunny.com (which tries to solve this very problem). They sold a different b2b startup after 10 years and billing was such a pain they created a whole nother startup just to try and solve it. Lol.

The world population in 1900 was only 1.6 Billion. We're at 8 Billion now, and they predict capping at 10-11 Billion.

Even if the cap is true (and it's all theory at this point), I think the words "too few humans" does not mean what they think it means.

A carbon tax will make the problem worse. To make up for the profit losses from the tax, business will produce and sell more goods - actually increasi g the pollution put in the air.
