Anything but paying for the labor of a person to draw such a picture.

It’s too close to expiration for a transfer. 😔 givemoney.gif

Plot twist:

Private equity buys your registrar and jacks up the renewal price 5x.

Amen. You’re like a capitalist, but without the capital.

The one thing scrum has succeeded in is creating an industry of people that get paid to do little work, which is fine as long as they don’t take themselves seriously enough to get in the way. Bullshit jobs are a needed feature of a well run economy.

So far one of the best use cases for AI in software engineering has been identifying idiots and sociopaths.

I have no objections to your view for how things should be. It’s definitely not how they are and I think it’s important for people to realize what the reality is for any change to happen.

I think upon closer inspection you might find that CS’es primary duty is upholding the interests of its shareholders, not the customers.

So the whole Twitter acquisition hullabaloo was all about electing more tax breaks after all wasn’t it. And here I was thinking it was perhaps about the ability to do some more sophisticated propaganda or just because of Elon’s pure stupidity.

Perfect. This is consistent with what I was thinking and that Cloudflare’s changes won’t fix any recent bundles that might include malicious code.

I read the story and specifically the bit about the Github account. Isn’t this the Polyfill lib’s Github account? Because if that’s the case, how would a bundler solve the issue? The new owners could modify the original source, then the CICD jobs would happily publish that to registries and from there down into the bundles. Is it a different Github account they’re talking about?

Nice. Unfortunately this won’t tackle the mountains of sites that use bundlers.

Well this is nice. One downside is that folks who play games without VSync can’t turn it off in Wayland as far as I’m aware.

I’m serious. Politics are a good chunk of the job, meetings is a major place for that. What happens there can have dramatic effects on how long something takes and therefore on the “produced output per unit of time.” I’ve been at it for 13 years now and embracing that has had positive results on my well-being and career. 🥹

Meetings are part of the productive time.

They can certainly slow down the proliferation this way, a lot. They can’t gatekeep it forever from a determined third party though.

Sounds like Chrome’s Privacy Sandbox.

Firing developers and managers?? 🔥❤️🤯

Yup. Same with all of them. I’ve been reading solid state battery hype for at least a decade.

There are multiple US firms that are actively researching solid state batteries. I think at least one is in the manufacturing scaleup research phase. The auto manufacturers aren’t generally into the cell research business and they don’t need to be. Once a firm begins mass manufacturing, the autos will buy the output and use it in their cars. Protectionism is needed for other reasons. Meanwhile they’re all working on their platforms.
