  • Um… don’t we all just assume Trump got some bad news on the negotiations, decided he’d rather missle the opposing party and just ordered the strike in a rage?

    Afterwards, like the true nincompoop he is, decided to justify as if it was some kind of real plan.

    Then I’m sure he just assumed he could “win” the negotiation by threatening further violence.

    Just imagine working for this fucktard and now, reflecting on this string of events, realizing that this is why we have guards as nightclubs to prevent drunken brawls like this, and your boss is nothing more than a weak, incompetent mobster surrounded by people who just want a snort of whatever the fuck he’s sniffing under the desk.










  • Not all bad. Git is an incredible system for collaboration and humans have been honing it to improve quality and share work across teams for decades now.

    Allowing bots to play a carefully defined role is probably going to end up being a net improvement but there are still kinks.

    Masquerading as a human needs to be fixed though - I can see why it’s happening and that’s one of the first problems to solve.




  • When I entered the workforce in the late '90s, people were still saying this about putting PCs on every employee’s desk. This was at a really profitable company. The argument was they already had telephones, pen and paper. If someone needed to write something down, they had secretaries for that who had typewriters. They had dictating machines. And Xerox machines.

    And the truth was, most of the higher level employees were surely still more profitable on the phone with a client than they were sitting there pecking away at a keyboard.

    Then, just a handful of years later, not only would the company have been toast had it not pushed ahead, but was also deploying BlackBerry devices with email, deploying laptops with remote access capabilities to most staff, and handheld PDAs (Palm pilots) to many others.

    Looking at the history of all of this, sometimes we don’t know what exactly will happen with newish tech, or exactly how it will be used. But it’s true that the companies that don’t keep up often fall hopelessly behind.


  • The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

    When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

    What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

    I understand where you’re coming from, but of course the Linux I want to use is not a business with a centralized marketing department vying for market share. It’s something that I can customize and make into whatever I want it to be.

    I think that’s why many people want to use Linux - they’re not pigeonholed into decisions made to gain market share, they’re free to choose whatever works well for them.

    Paradoxically, 20 plus years ago people chose PCs and Microsoft over Apple for much of the same reason. We could select our own hardware from any manufacturer, easily run our own executables and develop code in any direction desired.
