If they know, and it’s not vital, and they don’t care, then I think less of them.
Some people have less self control than a toddler

I mean that seems like it would be pretty effective.
Do they vet the people? Could someone hypothetically sign up for the app, case the rich person’s situation, and then do crimes? Sounds like a good way to find rich assholes.
Code reviews are important. Unfortunately, no-test-text guy convinced his whole team that he was right, and I wasn’t able to block it. I’d scheduled a meeting to try to get the wider org to adopt a more sensible standard, but then there was a mass layoff 🤷
The other guy with the bad messages is at a tiny startup where they’ve laid off almost everyone, and the other 2 guys don’t want to make waves. The CEO is big on “just ship it” (and also “why are there bugs in production? this is unacceptable!!”)
I got laid off back like six months ago. Job market is bad.
And yet billionaires are still living the life and the stock market ticks upwards.
Dexterity is avoiding getting hit by the asshole going the wrong way down the street
Strength is dragging them out of the car afterwards
Ds2 is worth playing if you like the franchise/genre. It tries some stuff different from the previous game, and some of it works.
It think it’s also easier than ds1, and maybe DS3. I almost cleared it without dying, just using a normal build. Because of the weird “lose max health on death” mechanic, if you die a lot it can snowball, but if you stay alive your max health is pretty generous.
Sometimes people are my old job post AI stuff and I just tell them “stop using the lie machine”
Automobile companies should be held accountable for destroying and lobbying against other modes of transit, so not really the best metaphor. Also destroying the environment is pretty bad.
Also there’s no cosmic law that says tech companies had to make LLMs and put them everywhere. They’re not even consistently useful.
These big companies have blood on their hands and it seems like no one is willing to do anything about it.
That’s a quote from Eco’s essay on ur-fascism, for the unfamiliar

The main things reddit has going for it is more people, and better SEO.
Privately owned for profit orgs are extremely vulnerable to enshittification.
Well, the context used to just be there. Now it’s not, and this is worse.
Fines should scale with wealth. Millionaire wants to speed? Okay, pay a $100,000 fine.
These same accounts keep denouncing tickets and speed cameras.
This is common conservative “Outgroups to bind, in-groups to protect” dysfunction. They’re bad people.
Oh, double post but I also remembered there was a band in the mid 2010s called Jawbreaker Reunion. I imagine a lot of fans of Jawbreaker did a double take when they saw signs for like “Jawbreaker Reunion tonight!”
A sort of country blues song about how my cat would ignore my friend until they went into the bathroom to poop, and then the cat was all about hanging out and being affectionate.
“You only love me when I’m pooping…”
I’m told the band No Men were originally going to call themselves Aerosmith 2, but decided against it
I’ve worked with a few people who are just incomprehensible. One refuses to write commit messages of any detail. Just “work in progress”. Cast him into the pit.
There was another guy that refused to name his tests. His code was like
describe(''. () => {
it('', () => {
expect(someFunc()).toEqual(0);
}
it('', () => {
expect(someFunc(1)).toEqual(0);
}
it('', () => {
expect(someFunc("").toEqual(1);
}
}
He was like, “Test names are like comments and they turn into lies! So I’m not going to do it.”
I was like, a. what the fuck. b. do you also not name your files? projects? children?
He was working at a very big company last I heard.
edit: If you’re unfamiliar, the convention is to put a human readable description where those empty strings are. This is used in the test output. If one fails, it’ll typically tell include the name in the output.
Last book: “Last Call” by Tim Powers. It’s great. Poker and archetypes. Big inspiration for Unknown Armies, which I loved.
Current: Medusa’s web, also by Powers. Not sure if I’m into it yet but it’s got some of his signature weirdness
