You do not get to the level of success that Mr. Beast has without stepping on people to get there.

It’s safe to say this of any hugely successful person. They by and large all have despicable qualities to them, the question is are they introspective and working to change those qualities in a positive way? I don’t think many of them are.

This is less an indictment on Mr. Beast and more on ultra successful people in general.

And AMD won the console wars

I’ve put far too much thought into this but realistically everyone should use Salvation Army. I personally hate that it’s religious but it’s also non-profit. For that alone it is better than Goodwill or Value Village.

Nah. Let him cook. 🤣

That asshat Netanyahu already condemned the UN as, and I’m paraphrasing “full of anti-Semites”

Seriously there is rot in the Israeli government and it is making Jews around the world more hated and less safe.

Least harmful you mean? Lol

Beautiful

If it’s anything like my work and their RTO a few things.

1. hR is well aware of attrition rates and I bet they’re through the roof
2. Any new hires are probably not the best or brightest they could expect to hire

So expect quality at Amazon to decline. It may not be outwardly visible but mark my words for those that are still there it will devolve into a chaotic shit show of overworked employees that are left backfilling work for those who left and the incompetence that came in.

I mean I understand his sentiment but the system is working exactly as defined. When he says stuff like Facebook, Apple, Microsoft used to work it’s not for a lack of trying. Their MO has not changed since the 80’s. What has changed is the ability to execute on their MO.

The companies are fine. The problem is societal. Hackers ain’t gonna fix shit.

Good news and it points to the idea that Canada will drop .5 at their next meeting. Inflation in Canada is down to 2%>

I personally agree with some people that a .25 drop would be more prudent but I understand and accept a .5 drop should it happen. It seems like the worst is over now it’s a matter of sticking the landing.

Dude I literally spit out my cat when I heard him railing off there.

I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved. Future generations are more consumers not partners in the technology they own.

Yea it’s a vast generalization but Apple is a good analogy of this. Most people now just want “a technology that works” without any understanding or control over how it works. That’s a recipe for technological serfdom under the new generation of technocratic companies designed to own us.

Am I ever going to own a free phone? Probably not, but that doesn’t excuse me from at least understanding from a high level all the players involved in my phone and where they’re generating value from me.

XML is fine. Namespaces have a special place in hell though

“The skibidi toilet”

Linux absolutely isn’t perfect, no technology is. But in my years of experience with both, Linux on the whole is far less finicky, and far easier to fix when it breaks.

I agree 110% but it’s also worth mentioning that windows isn’t as finicky as we complain about. If it was, companies wouldn’t by and large rely on it. People are delusional if they think Windows is only around because of some conspiracy or historical precedent. “It works” plain and simple. As you scale you’re going to run into issues regardless of the OS. It’s naive to think Linux is the be all that end all. As much as anyone I want to be Linux only. My home computers have been Linux for decades now. I’m a realist. There’s value and challenges with every OS. I hate the industry trend of Windows over Linux but I get it

When I write APIs I like to set endpoints to return all status codes this way no matter what you’re doing you can always be confident you’re getting the expected status code.

I know a lot of Africans. I question why any of them would want to move to America as opposed to Canada (where I am) and like me they don’t understand when someone they know does make the decision to move south.

Yes the money is better but no one is going to care if you’re from Zimbabwe. A black person is a black person is a black person down there and by and large America is hostile AF to black people.

Snake if writing in python

Camel if writing in PowerShell

I tend to stick with what the language wants me to use.

And for the most part it’s still powered by underpaid South Asian manpower lol.
