China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.

But also, it seems to me that the “generally” in “generally free” is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn’t. And the pretty good quality of life doesn’t seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the “people are better than in the US” impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.

Let’s schedule a meet-up at 00/00 year 0000 to talk about it.

You should make it oddNumbers.includes(num%10000000)…

He’s supposed to be super-strong.

Seems to be what the text says… and let’s not forget the US president is not afraid of economical or military action.

My best guess is that the text is a misrepresentation, because Trump’s speech was completely focused on exterminating people inside the US borders. But without that context, yes, looks like it’s about every other country.

Oh, you worked at Oracle by any chance?

You can throw the code away, but be assured that the vibe-coder also vibe-specified the software and you will have to negotiate each functionality change with the client.

And each one will take much longer than the original coder too!

Nah, the author thinks vim is emacs or something like it.

A really good way to evaluate an ecosystem is looking if people look into documentation or stack overflow first.

When it’s stack overflow, the ecosystem always suck.

“It goes almost all the way to the ceiling. I just need you to connect the last layer into the structure, it should be a 15 minutes work, right? I already settled the deadline with your boss. Tanks; bye.”

To be fair, the largest problem here is that it presents itself as the kind of isolation that would respect firewall rules, not that they don’t respect them.

People wouldn’t make the same mistake in NixOS, despite it doing exactly the same.

manual flushing of pipes

Seriously, pipes should default to unbuffered…

Brazilian tariffs are actually smaller than the ones the US imposed. The reason you can’t find anything below 190% of the original price isn’t just the tariffs.

That said, yeah, they are already too large.

It’s good when you are involved on a single team, so you only have 1 ~1 hour standup to participate…

Any good inline help would run dir into your variable and discover it overloads that operator. It’s a fault of your tools.

I’m not sure “computer” was even a profession back at that time.

So, it’s an almost useless dimension with misleading names? Yeah, it’s a good “political compass”.

As you noticed, they have had a quality assurance structure for way longer than 2 years. They’ve had it for close to 20 years now.

When they used to have this philosophy, they did always have something broken on their site, and go out of air once in a while. And they did benefit greatly from the speed they got from it, for a while, until it started being harmful.

The reason Meta could operate that way was because they were a platform for people sending funny texts to each other with no promises of security or privacy.

By the way, even they don’t operate like that anymore.
