I go for a good enough solution. I know better solutions exist but I’m limited by time and empathy.

Super true.

Anyone who says they’ll run the government as a business will fail at doing both.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Voting is the bare minimum.

It was hubris. Just like the US on September 10, 2001. We never expected or even imagined someone attacking us here.

Until it happened.

While it’s true that tribalism is essentially a human, if not evolutionary trait, we could have made it damn near harder for fascists from gaining power. To start, stripping them from any political office (local or federal) and then banning them or any soldier that fought for the Confederacy.

States that seceded basically should have been converted to non-voting territories unless they agreed whole cloth to codify abolition into the Constitution, reparations to the North and to their slaves.

It’s important to note why he did the tariffs.

It wasn’t because there was an economic trade imbalance.

It wasn’t because he thought they were unfair.

It was because it is essentially the only non-military weapon he has and he wanted to look powerful.

It was because he wanted to alienate our allies under the direction of Putin.

It was because he wanted to feel like a big man. He wanted to show the world he was a dictator.

It was a selfish, dick-measuring move.

Just a reminder that a cloud provider can oopsie delete your data

The customer was fucking lucky they had their data also in AWS. many companies don’t do multi cloud backups.

How fucking stupid racist were these independents 6 months ago?

Ftfy

[defined] illegal entry as occurring when an “unauthorized” alien of at least 18 years of age “knowingly enters or attempts to enter” the state after eluding immigration inspection. The crime is designated as a first-degree misdemeanor subjecting the alien to a mandatory minimum prison sentence of nine months upon conviction.

Basically tourist are fine.

But let’s not kid ourselves here. Florida was always going to use this law for the lower half of the Family Guy skin chart.

Four things went for Musk:

• he was rich
• he had a passing resemblance to Robert Downey Jr.
• he made was closely associated with futuristic hardware (we don’t seem to value revolutionary software the same way as hardware)
• he was rich

In all honesty, a lot of solo developers who are directly responsible for the internet as we know it should be getting far more credit than rich ass holes but here we are.

Edit: correct

Only if you’re white and conservative.

My rep did a virtual town hall

Fucking coward.

Company: This interview does not require prior preparation.

Also company: Here is a 4-minute walkthrough of what the interview will actually look like - we recommend you review this so you know what to expect.

I’m like 90% sure there is actually a mutual fund for the opposite of his recommendations.

So I just checked and it looks like the Inverse Jim Kramer Fund closed due to lack of interest.

He probably mining crypto on top of running his SQL queries.

I’ve thought about moving to typescript. Do you have suggestions for a 20+ year JavaScript dev?

Isn’t he the guy that went to a Japanese forest known for where people go to commit suicide and just laugh?

Edit: down votes because I can’t tell terrible YouTubers apart?

I had this one user who kept using an old report. It used a terribly provisioned db account and had to be changed.

We created a v2 that was at feature parity to v1 and told users to move off of v1. Slowly but surely it happened.

Except one user.

We put up nag screens. Delays on data return, everything we could go “carrot” them to the new version but they stuck with it.

Eventually I called the guy and just asked him, “Why are you still using the old version?”

His answer, “no one ever told me about the new version.”

I asked him if he got our email. He said no. I forwarded it to him.

“Oh.”

I asked him didn’t you read the nag screens? He said no.

I asked him, “The page doesn’t allow you to move on until you wait 90 seconds. Why didn’t you read it?”

“I didn’t think it was important.”

I learned an important lesson that day: never wait for all users to move. Once you have enough, start doing scream tests.
