indeed.

I mean, it’s a joke, but many of his ideas are also libertarian wet dreams

I now want a community led historical reenactment of loose tie wearing software devs in the 60s where they are just chain smoking and banging out COBOL or Fortran punch cards

Right. Given the option I will always choose to work with a decent programmer who can communicate well and documents their code, over a very strong programmer that doesn’t think they should waste time with documentation

I imagine if the legacy silicon hardware is straight from the factory the shape of the plastic doesn’t really matter too much

In all seriousness, afaik not unless they can replicate the wobble groove pressed into the discs, which is possible if they can press their own discs in bulk, but probably more expensive than it’s worth unless they are selling a ton of these

this post looks like some double plus ungood stuff to me

dis information family gets weirder and weirder

As long as “cleaner than you found it” also includes “better documented.” I’ve worked with people who think that “the code should speak for itself” to the point that they will make biased decisions with no explanation or documentation and then if you ask them about it after their response is “look at the PR for how that decision was made.” I’m not going to git blame and find your PR to find an outcome from an argument between two people that after scrolling just says “sometimes the API returns a JSON string here instead of nested JSON so we have this conditional” when that could be a comment

They generate that power using the unlimited abundance of energy generated by the mental gymnastics of people like these

Seems like you aren’t the only person asking that

The place mentioned in that article, Rose Goute Creole Restaurant, looks great: https://g.co/kgs/XFykf9j

I’m nowhere near ohio, but I’ve made a note to try that place if I’m ever within driving distance

I mean, it depends on how pure your ketamine is

It’s generally become my opinion that unless I’m eating unsweetened muesli with a splash of milk pretty much every cereal except unsweetened cheerios is bad for me

It’s some techno-libertarian’s wet dream

It’s also really heavily about tribalism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalism

Because people like to be part of a specific group and feel like the goals of said group are their goals, regardless of the reality of the thing

No no you don’t understand. Every children’s story is about beating your competition in the market and how regulation doesn’t actually support competition because it’s on you to analyze and prepare for market forces. Also my billion dollar vehicle company is failing because I didn’t properly prepare, I’m gonna need a major government bailout

Well with infinite access to resources the pigs should have been stockpiling and starting to build businesses in the expectation that they would have needed to protect their property and could have hired a bigger, badder wolf at an acceptable market rate to ensure a minimal loss

/s in case that wasn’t clear

While I would hope that’s the case, I firmly believe the GOP / russia would have doubled down on the misinformation that was already all over the place, and the ignorant on facebook and other social media still would have eaten that shit up. I think in the voters that mattered Bernie would have made a much bigger impression, and the policies he worked to pass would have been much more beneficial, but I don’t think it would have been this magic situation where all the dumb people disappeared and the rich people stopped trying to get the dumb people to vote make them richer

Right, I based it on an estimate on the size of the company and how many devs they’ve had. But if a 7MB file doubled their build size and nobody noticed for 5 years, it likely wasn’t code reviewed or committed and rather just added somewhere, It’d be my guess that it’s a pretty small team, and if they’re willing to call anyone at this point anyway as they only have a few devs, and not just remove the file, they’re probably unsure on if it serves any sort of point, which usually would be clear in a commit or PR

You think they’d call up devs who left them just to ask if they happen to know about a random file?

I mean, that’s what op said happened. Literally with the verbiage of “file we found” and not “file you committed”

Ah I could see that. I took it as them not knowing where the file came from at all, so they’re just asking all the devs who would have had access at that point, which is why it was “hey do you know anything about this file?” and not “is there a specific reason you committed this file to the build?”
