Unwrap is good for prototyping and trying out stuff fast, but it generally shouldn’t make it past a code review onto main, unless you’re very sure

14. You close the video that started autoplaying
15. You try to read the content of the site on 20% of your screen because the rest is padding and headers and useless shit
16. You try to understand why your laptop fan has started and your battery is draining at 100% cpu on a text and image on website
17. You manage to read something on the website before your battery drops by 30%. You try to figure out if it’s AI generated or not
18. You’re hit by a paywall

It’s a funny story because Ford was suspecting them of building a rival car company so he wasn’t doing it entirely out of altruistic pursuits. He wanted to them to get lower profits from their Ford investments. Whenever you think capitalists have reached the peak of greed, they truly innovate.

This only strikes us plebes when we find out about it. It is common knowledge in economist circles:

The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits: a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine

This has only been recently challenged as a PR attempt to rebrand it into “stakeholder capitalism”

Also, not related but equally horrifying: in macroeconomics there is a target of unemployment of around 5%, aka full employment is to be avoided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAIRU

Great job, the system is broken as fuck anyway. The fact that he used AI to do it is the karmic cherry on top! Ideally, you should be able to run the model on the cloud of the company you’re interviewing for, just as an extra ‘fuck you’.

You seem completely detached from the grueling experience of being interviewed, so it’s unsurprising that you don’t understand why somebody would want to burn this whole thing down.

Client side is completely out of the question here. You can’t just send millions of posts to every client hoping that they will order it themselves. Bluesky has a well thought out architecture that does that through server side feed gens, that can be decoupled from the App itself.

Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon

Totally agree. Mastodon is absolutely terrible at discovering new things. Explore tab is just feeding me a bunch of garbage, like cat pics (what is this, 2005?)

This is the initial reason for the invention of “The Algorithm” on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.

When the only thing that is stopping kids from dismantling your government is an O(N^N) algorithm

Ah, you’re right

I was going to write that every function should be a service as sarcasm, then I realized that’s exactly what this article is proposing. Now I’m not even sure how to make a more ridiculous proposal than this.

Integration tests? More like disintegration tests

I unironically had a screening interview with a recruiter that asked “If you were creating a startup, would you use microservices?”. She didn’t like that my answer was “It depends, I don’t have enough information to answer”.

“Oh, he uses FOSS, that’s even worse. Put him on the commie watch list”

Came here to say this, but I was delayed by having to clean my cargo target folder.

100% code coverage, integration tests passing. Deploys to prod. NullPointerException at 3am

Yeah, those new avatars are so lame. Everyone just looks the same now; I can’t even recognize people I know IRL because they’re all a silly cartoon character. I can’t believe people actually rushed to use them
