Yeah. Not everyone is autistic; there are lots of other neurospicy reasons why people are the way they are.

France is the only country I’ve been to in Europe that does a good job providing water.

Isn’t USAID dead?

It depends on the tourist place. Europe is very stingy with water, but other tourist parts of the world aren’t.

Is it correlation or causation? I ask because I’ve seen other evidence which seems to indicate that depression is an early indicator or mental deterioration.

This isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.

This is a law issue.

Yeah, those kinds of people are horrible to work with. I know you figured out how to make this work thirty years ago, but they built it into the program twenty years ago.

he had the guts to tell me I have to talk to him

I’ve worked with people who say they are all work and no talk. Their work was generally worse than others because they wouldn’t stop to coordinate with others while they worked and they should have. There were plenty of times they would make decisions when they should have talked to others, then those decisions needed to be backtracked because those decisions were wrong on the context of the project, costing time and money. They also end up being hard to work with because they devolve into screaming matches with other staff whenever there needed to be a discussion on his to proceed.

It ended up being a problem for their advancement because I couldn’t trust them in a leadership position they asked for when they wouldn’t show any leadership equivalent to their job’s roles and responsibilities.

Whenever I’ve given the direction “you need to talk to others”, it isn’t about talking to others about their day, but to talk to them about their work because their work is uncoordinated.

It isn’t meant to be consistent; it is meant to enforce the views of the church.

Given the major blackouts the state had recently, I’m not surprised.

I mentioned Linux.

Exactly. There is a community set up, but posts are daily at best with only a few comments.

Outside of Communism, Linux, and Star Trek, there isn’t that much.

Most people aren’t here because of what this place is, but what other places aren’t.

I feel like that’s because the concept of software architecture isn’t really taught and understood industry wide; it is like getting a journeyman carpenter to design an addition to a building but they don’t understand how the original structure was built so they recommend to tear the original building down and start from scratch.

It is made worse as programmers have a vested interest in maintaining a construction once maintenance mindset since construction requires more labor then maintenance.

Brotato?

Google destroys its products all the time. This isn’t new.

The problem for Trump right now is that he doesn’t have anything that he can point to as a win and Trump can’t walk away without it being seen as a loss.

At least it buys time for Cuba.

Still not as lucky as avocado.

We kill the animals that can shit out their seeds, but we end up breeding them ourselves because avocados are delicious.

Well, what else would those engineers work on? Most of Meta’s product lines are either stable or dead. If they weren’t going to AI, they would just be going away.

I loved the season opener. It was hilarious having actual lawyers judge how bad it was and Mommy Standards and Practices was well done.
