Every time I hear a junior developer say we should rewrite something they have made 0.1 effort understanding, I thank the JS world for not giving a generation or two of developers a well thought out application development framework.

You lost me at shitting on legacy code. My brother in Tux, we don’t rewrite code willy-nilly in the FOSS world either and for a good reason. New code always means new bugs. A shit ton of the underlying code in your Linux OS was written one or more decades ago.

This is because employees in South Korea can “only” work a maximum of 52 hours per week, including twelve hours of overtime. As a result, employees often have to leave work and go home even when important tasks have not yet been completed. For this reason, key employees of the Exynos team are reported to have worked unpaid overtime more and more frequently over the past few years, with the extra hours going unrecorded.

Why is SK’s birth rate in the shitter.

We’ll know if we hear any Big Ag name being raided.

Given everything we’ve seen over theast little while, including the process of non-profits getting taken over by their VC funded subsidiaries; that difference you see is almost certainly a matter of being at a different point in their respective profit timelines.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

Bluesky funding

Don’t forget they’re just another for-profit corporation. They might be selling great chips for cheaper but that’s still just a temporary side effect of their primary purpose - making the line go up.

At the end of the day the central bank is always dependent on the government. Sometimes at an arms length, other times at a finger length. The government controls the length and gives the authority to issue currency and provides the enforcement needed to ensure it’s one of the few issuers. So it might be more about government competency and its checks and balances.

If they put money supply firmly under the government’s direction, that would eliminate the “technically” argument against MMT that the Fed is independent. Which of course it practically isn’t and these fuckers are going to prove it. If we ever get a worker-friendly government again, they’ll be able to reuse this to pursue a job guarantee program.

Jesus fucking Christ. This should be the top comment people read.

Don’t get used to it. Pipsqueak is coming with the ax.

The only thing that would have made this perfect would be a rose and a candle next to the raccoon. #DeadRaccoonTO

Incredible.

It’s a trap.

- A message from Canada

Packing the SCOTUS might have helped with that.

From the article:

In return for the promise of two chickens in every pot, and deporting millions of migrants, the majority of voters were prepared to look the other way on what used to be core American values. They shrugged off the rule of law, freedom of the press, support for democracy at home and abroad, and basic civility in the nation’s public discourse.

From FDR:

“Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership,”

…

“Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat.”

If we’re to fight disinformation, we don’t need to get anywhere close to banning it altogether. Killing app access from the app stores is going to cut off almost all access to it. The point wouldn’t be to go after everyone who’s smart enough to sideload an app or use VPN to circumvent a block. It’s to remove it from the daily media diet of most Canadians.
