  • Wasn't it one of Musk's stated reasons for buying twitter to prevent exactly this?

  • I noticed they aggresively build out todo comments, even if it's not possible to do in place they take a wild stab at it.

  • ...the most GLORIOUS thing I'll see today.

  • A constant stream of value pours out of the fedora project.

  • Someone needs to send this to uncle bob.

  • Every time I see this meme it's a bit more relevant.

  • Uhh. Ok. I have questions...

  • Depends on the contest. Running fruity OSes? iPad. Rebuilding civilization after the technopacalpse wipes out Apple? ThinkPad!

  • The other day I was thinking about this, and that the process started a long time ago. Even with a basic mechanical traffic signal we have (to some degree) given machines the power of law, and all present obey the machine.

  • Tsk tsk... forgot to clean up your temp file!

  • True, but I doubt they have any kind of math or variables. I think I want a very thin layer over SVG, without the XML of course. :-)

  • I wonder if there is a 2D equivalent, basically imperative parametric cad?

  • lol... probably secret hidden bases and spycraft sites.

  • Did they send it to their work-email? :-)

  • Of all the sources of truth, why pick auto-complete?

  • How exactly would someone prove they are unvaccinated anyway?

  • One of those guys looks happy... just sayin'.

  • nsfwish

  • My theory is "shallow thinking" and "busy-ness". We are prone to mental and expedient shortcuts which seem benign at the small scale in which we interact, but when aggregated become something terrible... and on the exceedingly rare chance that we might hear an actual solution, it either sounds so foreign to us that we cannot consider it, or so hopeless a fight that the super-majority of people do not push back.

    Consider how slippery the slope is for even one aspect (diffuse responsibility):

    • Alice needs help
    • Bob sees that Alice needs help
    • Bob excuses himself from being the one to help (not prepared, wasn't expecting, other obligations, could be a trap, others are better suited to help, the government ought to help)
    • Bob excuses himself from being the one to get help (I don't have the number handy, someone else will call, she probably already called someone for help)

    Conceptually, this is fine if it is ONLY "Bob", but the deceptive part is how finite the procedural gap is between Bob being one person and it literally being everyone.... thus Alice gets no help.
