We did these sorts of exercises in my high school social studies class, in Ohio, back in 2002ish. I fear it may have been instructive to some of my classmates rather than warning them of the inherent evils.

Is it really holding them "accountable" when the settlements are for laughably small amounts, like <1% of a single day's profit?

If it's anything like Facebook, the side entrances (which always had guards sitting by them anyways) were all converted to alarmed fire exits. So the fire marshal would still be happy, but it was far less convenient for employees.

It works pretty well for Apple

tools like dataclasses and pydantic would like to have a word...

Google Fiber isn't rolled out to most of the bay area. Monkeybrains is wireless with speeds significantly slower than what Comcast offers me. I've checked just about every wired ISP possible, and Comcast is the only option that services my neighborhood.

And FWIW, I own my house in the east bay — I am the landlady ;)

*parts of the Bay Area. I'd say the majority of areas are still monopolized by Comcast, including my neighborhood of course.

In markets where Comcast has actual real competition, they "include" the unlimited data (aka no cap) with no extra charge when you sign up for their gigabit plans.

And yet it's the default when formatting a device on macOS.

And yet, as someone working on core language infra, we apply exactly that sort of ideal when making changes. If a diff doesn't break any tests, then it's "safe" to land, and if something does indeed break afterwards, then it's the broken team's responsibility to fix forward or otherwise provide proof that it's a big enough problem to roll back. If we end up in SEV review for a change, and there were no broken tests on the diff, then there are going to be some hard questions for the team that didn't write tests.

Ie, tests aren't mandatory, but if you aren't writing tests, it's your responsibility when someone else's change breaks your project.

That's the one I had. I got it from my friend in sixth grade, and who knows where he got it from!

I still miss my desktop sheep every once in a while: https://github.com/Adrianotiger/desktopPet?tab=readme-ov-fil...

Edit: the best part was running it a couple dozen times to get an entire flock walking, falling, and rolling all over your desktop, and watching everything grind to halt under CPU strain!

My 2017 Golf R would intentionally turn off the dashboard backlights at night if the lights weren't on, providing me excellent feedback that they weren't on. Either head lights should always be on auto by default, or more cars need proper feedback to the driver when they aren't.

Justice runs on a log scale, and the base is left for individual jurisdictions or judges to decide.

Or it's a simulation and someone keeps pushing changes to production.

Python makes it incredibly tough.

I disagree, Python makes it incredibly easy to work with threads in many different ways. It just doesn't make threads faster.

I wish I could selectively disable only the "paste" events, because it's extremely useful to have "click to copy this value" type of buttons in our various work tools, and I miss the ability to do that every time I try turning off clipboard events to deal with bad actors.

Imagine being on STS-1, piloting a shuttle that had literally never been to space before in any form.

Grumman wasn’t operating their own Mission Control — NASA did. But NASA isn’t operating this mission, similar to how they don’t operate SpaceX missions even if they are funding them.

Mixed with R.C. Pro-Am, one of my favorite NES titles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.C._Pro-Am

It almost always has to do with the details of EBITDA [1], in this case depreciations/writeoffs and amortized costs, especially if/when a bunch of funding may have been subsidized by governments along with healthy tax breaks [2].

You might appreciate setting `PAGER=cat` in your environment. ;)

Git obeys that value, and I would hope that most other UNIXy terminal apps do too.

How else would airlines get little kids wide eyed at the vast array of lights and buttons and give them a branded pin and hat to win their hearts at an early age?

Part of the initial terms of service that you agree to is that the terms can be changed by the company at any time as long as they give you X days of notice.

Pretty sure that "insurance" only covers their money, not yours.

Python, JS, C, Bash aren't even particularly great at the problems they solve

I would argue the "problem" that Python really solves is the amount of engineering effort required to read and write code for common software use cases. Ie, it's purpose is to help developers write better code faster and easier than other languages, while execution speed has usually had a lower priority. In that framing, it's great at solving the problem of development time and old code being hard to maintain, and that's why so many engineers like myself love it.
