This is horrific and this sounds very familiar:

> Utah had a particularly aggressive sterilization program. Eugenics leaders, in fact, hailed Utah for sterilizing a far greater proportion of its residents than any other state in 1947 as an "important achievement in public health."

You discovered that suffering is relative to experience.

I think a lot of those things are extremely frivolous, a waste of time, and very silly at best. These aren't things that appeal to the working class. If some rando is using me for some weird political or social clout, I wouldn't be impressed.

Can't wait for the Homogenous Elite Society where everyone is a clone of each other.

The old: Encryption is evil because it is used to hide information... let's ban encryption. Breaking encryption is evil because it can be used to steal information... let's incriminate breaking encryption.

Let's just get it over with... Technology is evil. Let's ban technology.

TFA: You should be:

- Making commits on github everyday for a year

- Making many pull requests to popular open source projects

- Show commitment!

- Spent 3 years traveling the world before Stanford.

Meanwhile, has no real technical commits/PRs on GitHub herself... ever. No streaks to speak of... ever. https://github.com/chiphuyen

This is such an elitist and superficial article.

Let's not forget that rendering 3D Animations in 3DSMAX or Maya used to take days for a single frame for a complex scene, and months for a few minutes.

I wonder if they'll open source some of the streaming tech...

I just avoid Python and any job descriptions that contain it. It's never been a good experience for me, whether as an end user or a developer. It's nice that they may have ironed out their issues, but I've been done a long time ago. There's nothing Python does I can't do better with some other toolchain.

I understand this year they presented much more believable avatars, but yeah presenting Second Life as a next gen experience must have been frustrating for John.

People with attitudes like yours are why Zuckerberg _WILL_ fail in his vision. If Meta VR cannot be more compelling than video games, it is and will continue to be Dead on Arrival. Good luck though, with your feelings and whatnot. The "avatars" that Mark was forced to present are frankly embarrassing and humiliating in this day and age. 5% GPU utilization is a joke. Mark's gotta give all of you the boot. I'm happy for John that he got to escape that sycophantian paradise.

The only USD crypto stable coin coming will be the one released by the US Federal Reserve. Everything else is a lie.

Let us unchain ourselves from the politics of globalization and then we can proceed forward. Trade shouldn’t be a weapon.

Pretty curious how the anti-nuclear reactor movement went after shutting down all nuclear reactors when we badly need them, they lead to actually dismantling nuclear weapons, and at the same time coal power plants spew a ton of radioactive smoke into the atmosphere.

Stop being so dramatic.

The layoffs and departures on their own are by my count possibly getting close to saving the company a billion $USD a year. That's the projected cost of the debt obligations he took on buying the company. EZPZ.

I can't open a logo generating website and not get that as a result. It's trash.

MS Teams is already a chore, I'm not adding an extra layer of mental overhead on top of it.

My laptop and iPhone are fast enough… I can’t believe some people would risk a nuclear war over not having the latest iPhone next year.

Capital One is the only company I've ran across so far that wouldn't take on a developer with equivalent experience, or maybe the recruiter was badly misinformed.

Now redo the same study but with Stanford or Harvard branded gear. This thread is hilarious to me.

Am I the only dev on the planet that thinks not having CSS editing and a code view makes most of these entirely useless except for simple sites like blogs or comment sections?

So, who would still show up for work if they didn't pay money?

Woah, you can get a 10kWH LiFePO4 Powerwall for $2600. I didn't realize heavy battery tech is that far ahead. Seems rather compact too. That just seems entirely reasonable to install in your garage.

I'm assuming you don't really follow the news or the market due to your response.

Me thinks you're overstating it because you don't understand how VC's function. Venture Capitalists borrow money from Investment Bankers based on percentages. The market has lost all of its gains during the pandemic, that trend is still bearish. The risk percentages were adjusted, and now there's less money to go around. It's seriously basic math.

Beauty of open source, make a fork with those pull requests accepted and involve the devs that made them.

Does Japan still require Internet Explorer? It's a very weird country webdev-wise.
