i read that Boeing paid developers in India less than $5/hr for the 737 MAX software

we just need a little more AI

i would go with lowercase and just have it be a reserved word like the other ones. but I’m not super picky, i generally like to stick to what people are used to, and i can understand the reasoning behind the choice.

guido, why did you make python so weird?

except 13-19 at least

setting one number is a little silly tho. somebody with 4 kids has totally different needs than a single person. especially if someone has a kid with special needs the costs can be huge. obviously that doesn’t apply to these CEOs but I would say one person doesn’t need more than 100k

how would android or chrome have the funding for development outside of google? really weird plan to fix this, seems like there are going to be a lot of unintended consequences.

and the ironic part about this, it comes at a time when google is on the verge of being destroyed by new technology and their own enshittification. i haven’t relied on google search in years now, it’s so bad. some monopoly

as a senior programmer (with limited, valuable time), i exercise good judgement before wasting weeks on unused automations.

“measure twice, cut once” as the craftsmen used to say. or YAGNI

somebody failed to read the meme i guess, it’s literally right there

and by making driving less involved, we free up drivers to play on their phones while going 70mph down the highway. progress!

those transmissions are only better on paper. sure they could be theoretically better but in practice the transmission programming is to way over aggressively upshift in order to miser out a little more fuel economy on paper (but in practice they waste fuel)

~all of them, i would wager

there’s a delete button you can click right in your inbox, no need to waste time on that corporate hell-hole. trust me, they won’t read it!

well, you asked “why” to a different question and i was answering that. but if you understood my response, that would give you the context of why you got downvoted. it comes down to you arguing the opposite of what you think you are, because you didn’t read the article or understand the context of the comment. you ‘chose violence’ instead, for no reason.

i mean, i did that for you. but you ignore it, even now when insisting it never happened.

techdirt has been gold across multiple decades now. I’m really glad more people are starting to become aware of it!

my college buddy and startup cofounder had a pathetically slow old laptop. he asks me the other day, “should i buy an ipad pro?” i was dumbfounded. bro you don’t even have a proper computer. we went around a bunch and he kept trying to get really bad ones like a base model mac mini. finally i persuaded him to get a 16" M1 Pro for a grand (about 700 after his trade in) and he couldn’t be happier.

I’m still using my M1 MBP like 4 years later. Don’t even care to upgrade! these things are great value
