Some random Chinese company: does something jenky
Blogger: "The entire country of China is doing this jenky thing!"
Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.
Perfectionism, anxiety, and shutting down or getting active in stressful situation? Sounds like... anxiety. Not every human experience is ADHD.
Absolutely agree, you're preaching to the choir
They'd have to block all investment platforms. Even ETrade and Chase have ads like that.
God damnit not this swill again. It's not even close to triple, it's like 15%. Read. The. Reports.
For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.
And it's the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.
The EU's CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.
Have you tried buying from aliexpress? It's the same products as on Amazon, but directly from the supplier. Imagine Amazon, but everything's 50% off.
Source: I'm cheap as heck and buy random trash from them
I've been a big fan of monorepos because it leads to more consistent style and coding across the whole company. It makes the code more transparent so you can see what's going on with the rest of the company, too, which helps reduce code islands and duplicated work. It enables me to build everything from source, which helps catch bugs that would only show up in prod due to version drift. It also means that I can do massive refactorings across the company without breaking anything.
That said, tooling is slowly improving for decentralized repos, so some of these may be doable on git now/soon.
FWIW I don't really like tech companies in general. They're monopolies.
That said, I really admire Google's environmental policies. I worry a lot about global warming and habitat destruction. They're doing better than any other tech company on that front.
Other companies will just lie about their emissions. Like Amazon claiming it's 100% renewable (it's not even close). Google has been honest and clear with it's emissions numbers since the beginning. And it has never been afraid to call out when they were wrong. For example, they recently updated their numbers when they realized one of their accounting methods was wrong. No other company has kept themselves as honest as Google on environmental things.
It's a big company with 170k employees. I can name a million examples of it doing shitty things. Like shutting down Inbox. But the environment is far more important to me than some product I didn't pay for.
Meta's emissions were 3000x higher than they reported?! What the heck are they doing over there
It's behind a paywall
But the entire point of Rust and Result is... to force you to make a choice of what should happen
Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.
They just added a fee so that AWS can't copy it without paying. What's the big deal.
You’ve never done ecommerce logistics
I literally have. Go climb up a tree.
Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it's old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.
Apologies for the tangent:
I know we're just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word "some" to statements about groups. It's just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn't make the joke less funny.
That 90's brand of humor of "X group does Y" has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I'd really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.
Totally optional. Thank you
I see your concern, but in practice that's not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.
Because security through obscurity is not security at all.
Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.
Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.
Too long, didn't read
Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.
Regarding the cognitive dissonance required to A) value decentralization of power, and also B) support the CCP: 🤦
It's simple: People who gain from misinformation create platforms that empower bots and sockpuppets.
If you're the one working on this infrastructure, then why are the reports saying that it's only 13%? Are you guys lying on the forms?

It's true, but note that Allan received a reduced sentence for testifying against the actual mastermind of the fraud, who got 30 years.
