it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

This seems like a bad idea, given her line of work (child sex trafficking).

This is great! I've confirmed this also fixes at least two other overrides-related bugs 🥳

Elastic deciding to name their java-ish non-REPL-able scripting language "painless" has to be a troll, right? Right?!?

i mocked my child in a goofy voice, like "oohh i'm eight and i have to go to school tomorrow" and he replied--instantly, without a second's pause for the years i've spent raising him, feeding and clothing him etc-- "i'm mama and i have a small but not invisible mustache"

I am fascinated by the people at Meta who think this is a *good* idea in exactly the same way I'm fascinated by conspiracy theorists.

It just seems so patently awful to me. And in ways that every sensible person I know would immediately grasp.

My first Netflix feature was an iframe to sandbox adtech so it could only know what we sent it. Ran on every page and was cool but rather minor.

Until the day we broke cookies.

For a whole evening everybody visiting Netflix got a broken cookie, making all requests 500. All users locked out.

(1/4)
Handling Cookies is a Minefield:

Inconsistencies in the HTTP cookie specification and its implementations have caused a situation where countless websites (including Facebook, Netflix, Okta, WhatsApp, Apple, etc.) are one small mistake away from locking their users out.

Your regular reminder that you, yes you, would likely personally benefit from some of the accessibility settings on your devices

They may feel a bit weird at first or you may feel like you don't have a serious enough problem to need them, but after a week you may much prefer having 1-2 of them

Obviously these companies are structured very differently. Toyota's value is found in the products it makes and brings to market, which people can buy and use. Tesla's value is from Elon Musk sometimes saying things like "I will invent magical taxis by November" and shareholders pissing themselves
Just for comparison. Tesla has delivered a total of 3,878 Cybertrucks.

In 2023, Toyota produced an average of about 24,000 vehicles per day.
Tesla is worth over $150 billion more than Toyota by market capitalization

Musk being on a nativist arc when he himself is an immigrant who survives on government subsidies and fathers a bunch of kids he doesn’t take care of really sandblasts any plausible deniability about the extent to which this is just a racial thing
