It seems he is really desperate for media to avoid Epstein discussion.

This reads like a junior developer rant.

His dependency count is in hundreds. 90% of his code is glue code between those dependencies. Yet he thinks he is the one that created something.

Why do you think that they can't be turned off remotely? They all have over the air updates. Just push the update the bricks the bus.

Remote control is just one over the air update away.

My experience is the opposite.

Teams that are knowledgeable jury rig their own custom solutions without all the enterprise cruft. They make solutions that fix their problem and they do it faster than the teams who use bloated enterprise solutions.

I am tired of seeing over engineered enterprise solutions that that are implemented and never used because they can’t be integrated into the dev workflow easily. Simple bash script that does the task it was designed to do beats any enterprise crap.

user growth has slowed. the technology that should help users is only being pushed from the top, while users refuse to use it. openai pivoted to porn.

does it really feel like they have a chance to recover all the expenses in the future?

crypto grifters pivoted to ai and, same as last time, normal people don’t want to have anything to do with them.

considering the amount of money burned on this garbage, i think we can at least declare a looser.

You do realize that a lot of people in EU are working 4 days a week? Are you aware that McDonalds employee can live by having only one job?

EU decided to distribute the productivity benefits instead of hoarding it into stock market gains like US does.

Btw, you do realize that US commodified investing in Us stocks? Whole world can easily invest in US stock market. Basically, instead of taking care of their own citizens, US economy is paying out gains to foreigners.

Be mindful of the context these posts are created in. Don't take the current echo chamber to heart.

For decades now, we are trying to lower the barrier to entry in software development. We created Python, web frameworks and mobile development so easily accessible that you can become software developer by completing a short online boot camp. There is a lot of software developers posting here now who, 20 years ago, would not even consider this job because it would be way over their abilities.

This forum is equivalent if you had a forum about civil transportation that gathers airline pilots and uber drivers. Technically, they both do the same work. Just like in that forum, uber drivers would outnumber airline pilots and skew the topics related to their experience, here we get pushed topics about new frameworks, and AI assisted tools.

When I started working professionally 20 years ago, you could only get job in big companies working on big projects. No one else could afford a cost of custom software. Today, we reduced development costs and we have a huge pool of potential customers who can now afford services of software developers. Web shops, gambling sites, porn sites... This is the majority of software development work today. Boring repetitive tasks of gluing some imported modules together.

Serious development work didn't disappear. It is just not talked about here. There is still a need people who know what they are doing.

My advise is that if you want a satisfying development career, steer clear of latest hypes and don't go blindly following techbro lemmings. And most importantly, don't take career advice from anyone who finds his job so unsatisfying and tedious that he is trying to make AI do it for him. That's a major red flag.

This actually took longer than I thought. It is really weird that for all my adult content I have to go to a dedicated adult store, yet for games I can find them on Steam and gog where kids shop for games.

You don’t get porn movies on Netflix or Disney stream. You don’t get adult toys in your local grocery store. Why do we sell porn on Steam?

Why haven’t game stores just spin off separate store front for porn content? It is basically free, since they already have the infrasructure.

While being removed from general stores, porn has become very visible on big gaming platforms which majority of customers don’t associate with porn. Backlash is inevitable.

I think we can expect a bigger push against porn in general as pendulum swings back on the other side.

Let me get this right… The same people who said that woman’s health should be left to individual states are now saying that AI shouldn’t be left to individual states.

Weird priorities.

I can see that you are just focused on racist talking points about immigration and any discussion here will be very unproductive and just a wast of our bandwidth.

Mass immigration in EU is a result of US wars in middle east. It was not some kind of a plan by EU. It was just a reaction to shit that is happening. They were put in this position because they had too much faith in US.

Or maybe investors didn't buy treasuries because they were in on the scam all along. They wanted to stay liquid because the plan was always to crash the markets and spook foreign investors while US investors are informed to wait for the tweet about the 90 day delay and buy cheap stocks.

I am always confused how someone will fall for the scammer with such poor knowledge of your native language. If you look at the reports from the scams it is always so obvious that they are scams just by looking at the way sentences are structured or the way they speak.

I would expect that easier targets for such scammers would be people who don’t use English as their primary language. Not someone living in US.

It is weird that such things are not an immediate red flags to people. Then again, I have a better grasp on English language than last 3 US presidents so I guess you have to lower your expectations.

I thinks that this is also a reason that Musk, with his ramblings, didn’t reach such cult following here.

Region as in "relatively close to Europe". Immigrants are coming all the way from Middle East where US performs the operations, not our neighboring countries.

Russian thing is all EU fault. Glut for cheap oil made putin think he has a big bargaining chip against EU and that this will all be a simple task.

I don't know what propaganda media you get your information from, but people of Europe are not gloating or thinking you are stupid. I work for a company that has US offices (as many Europeans do) and we work very well together. We travel a lot between countries and work face to face and there have never been any problems.

I have a feeling (haven't seen any studies) that support of Israel by EU countries is done mainly by politicians who are listening to US polititans.

It will be interesting to see how long EU support for Israel will last without the pressure from US.

What bad faith?

US has been destroying Middle East for decades. Where do you thing that migrants from those regions run to?

Wars in Middle East are not something that EU needs or wants. We just went with it because of all the "we are allies and we respect each other" lies that were used by US administrations to swindle EU and get what they want.

Or do you propose that US pays for the costs of immigration problems around the world?

It is obvious that only reason US doesn't have safety net for their own citizens is US.

No sane person will tell you that EU should accept all the consequences of US starting wars in our neighborhood and also pay for that privilege.

Nobody is forcing US to field the largest army in the world. It is their own choice. We all would much rather if they didn't have such an incentive to arbitrarily start wars just to justify their defense budget.

BTW, if US is such a mighty nation as they advertise themselves, they should have no problem providing safety net for their citizens. The problem is that they just don't want to do that. They don't care about their citizens. All administrations just want to avoid taxing the rich and shift the blame to made up external enemies.

That perspective, as anything US based, is very US centric and wrong.

EU supported US war on terror, or whatever you call last 25 years of US invasions, with our own troops and what did we get out of that? Immigration crisis. We basically had to spend huge amounts of money on handling immigrants because of all the wars US (our so called ally) started.

Also, EU banks invested a lot of money in US scam financial institutions and our saving got wiped out in 2008. All of that money dissapeared in US economy.

US doesn't charge you for services by issuing an itemized bill, but instead they suck it out through different venues. Like a leach. I guess you can easily ignore things like that if it doesn't fit your narrative.

You are at the same time complaining that the EU is too dependent on US and that it doesn't pay its' share. The main problem with dependence is that you don't develop your own industry and instead you rely on imports and send money to other countries for services. So how can EU at the same time be both dependent on US and not sending money to US? That doesn't make any sense.

Citizens of EU have been complaining about reliance on US to our governments for years, but our bureaucrats ignored it and kept sending money over seas because it was the easiest thing to do. Current US administration has finally shown that this dependence is dangerous, and now hopefully instead of sending money to US they will divert it into EU economy.

If this is CVE, what is Docker then? :)

Anyone with privileges to run docker image is basically root on your host.
