I've read that football teams are actually a revenue generator for universities.

However you're absolutely right about insane amounts of wasted money on bureaucracy.

It's hard to feel bad for universities when they've always taken whatever money they've had and hired layers and layers of bureaucracy instead of paying professors.

The universities have decided instead of paying professors the solution is to hire layers and layers of bloated administration.

lol

MMR is still pretty common vaccine is it not?

The most fascinating unreported metric is that all new jobs since 2018 have gone to immigrants and none to Americans. Shocking this isnt talked about more but news outlets have wars to cover I guess.

All post-pandemic job growth, has gone to foreign-born workers.

Theres links US government collected data in this source that explains it well

Wouldn't be a big deal anyway because planes aren't in the environment.

Are you sure about that?

CentOs migration has been in progress for years lol

I would love to see the results of that!

LinkedIn thinks so. Their tech stack is so over engineered and spaghetti that they spent a hundred million and years trying to move into Azure and were beaten by how bloated and unmovable the tech stack is.

Theyre still using python 2 and centOS in tons of systems.

They just started using github last year.

Their tech stack is easily over a decade old.

Ryan Rolansky said LinkedIn is essentially feature complete.

I worked at LinkedIn in infra. Their internal tools are a nightmare. The true definition of Jugaad.

The entire company has zero concept of testing. No QA at all. Engineers push out half baked initiatives to add to their promotion packet then move on to the next thing.

I trouble shot so many issues just in day to day usage of the internal tooling like for some reason, engineers just trying to do their jobs, are QA.

Charm makes the coolest stuff and has the funnest marketing. Whoever does their marketing and branding is talented.

I just never seem to use any of their stuff. I want to use their stuff but never seem to have a reason.

Css tricks is a treasure. I have no idea why digital ocean would let it languish.

I like a buzz occasionally and would definitely not want it to be illegal but for me it affects my sleep and kind of messes up my day the next day.

The fact that the CEO had to step in after this blew up online otherwise they were going to try to extort that poor dude for thousands of dollars!

Moving my sites off of netlify ASAP.

Their products are still far and away better quality wise than most other brands though.

Sora makes great CLIPS.

The gap between a clip and even a short film is a massive chasm.

I could see Sora helping create assets though.

> Everything I've ever worked with that was run by the Apache foundation turned out to be semi-abandoned disasterware over time.

Amen brother.

But....why?

Amen! Ive used sublime, vscode, jetbrains stuff, and others.

They've all worked just fine.

Yeah I use nano if im remoted in and need to make a quick change and vscode the rest of thr time.

My thinking is that if you need vim you actually need an ide or lightweight ide.

I thought this was going to be about Phoenix but Mexico city makes sense.

A GUI itself was hard to develop Im sure but no one is patenting "gui for an operating system".

Can I patent a steering wheel?

Its wild. Where does the line start and stop.

Wild to me that you can patent a "taskbar".

This is my experience too.

Vice was great when it first started. It was a youth party mag devoted to sex drugs and music.

But then the people who made it fun left and the remaining founders were lame and tried to make it serious.

Doesnt change a thing. Learn to infer.

Not according to actual data.

Putting control of currency in the hands of the Federal reserve vs some neutral store of value has been utterly disastrous for the country and everyone but the rich.

I wouldn't send my kid to a public school for anything nowadays.
