sir-dingleberry··on A day in Elon Musk's mind
Taken in context, additional tweets:

@elonmusk: I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind.”

ADL literally defined racism as: “the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges White people.”

Such that white people can't be discriminated against.

The ADL is a Jewish run organization.

I agree with Elon on this. I don't think this is anti-semitic, this is calling out Jewish communities for anti-white racism.

It's kind of disgusting that in your haste to demonize Musk you cherry pick your information instead of trying to get to the truth.

Jewish communities are not some totally innocent group of people they have flaws just like the rest of human beings and calling them out is not "anti-semitic".

Not sure how that applies to Elon in the slightest. I've never seen him promote anti-semitic views.

Getting close to Godwins law there.

I've never seen Musk promote anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

And none of those things I mentioned are extremist in the slightest.

Is it extreme to believe that we should pay attention to the government deficit?

Is it extreme to believe that illegal immigration is out of control.

Is it extreme to believe that we should have ID's at elections?

Is it extreme to believe that there should be a department of governmental efficiency when the government just lost billions in the Iraq war?

Is it extreme to believe that we should become a multi planetary species.

I read Elon's tweets daily and nothing is extreme.

This is one of the many Elon hit pieces because he doesn't go along with the mainstream programming.

When I see React in 2024 I get uncomfortable.

> Instead, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams — who flew up on the troubled capsule — will get a ride on board SpaceX's Crew Dragon in February.

That's...a long way away.

No I'm talking about response time 'requirements'
sir-dingleberry··on Tech CEOs are backtrack on RTO mandates–now, 3% want workers in office full-time
Do these tech CEO's just cargo cult everything?

Is that what they teach at MBA school? Just do what everyone else is doing.

This is insane. Thanks for the post.

I've found CSS to be brutal because there's SO MANY gotcha's.

You can check out bootstrap or a CSS library, they make CSS manageable for a non-expert to do cool stuff with CSS.

JS isn't too bad in modern times, async/await is awesome instead of promise chains.

Web components out the box as well.

One option to increase availability though is to reduce partition times.

Wow have heard about CRDB but just now reading what it does.

That's an incredible piece of engineering.

The CAP theorem is irrelevant if your acceptable response time is greater than the time it takes your partitions to sync.

At that point you get all 3: consistency,availability, partitioning.

In my opinion it should be the CAPR theorem.
