> do you actually want a router that you can buy with DD-WRT pre-installed?

I don't think many people particularly care that their router has DD-WRT installed, and I also think you're asking the wrong question. Many people just want their network hardware and software to be fast and reliable. I know when I flashed DD-WRT onto my old Linksys router back in the day, it wasn't for any philosophical reason: it was that the default software was hot garbage, I didn't have the money to buy a new router, and DD-WRT promised to fix some of the problems I was running into.

(And yeah, there are _some_ people who really, really want DD-WRT on their router. They probably aren't your target customer unless you're also selling hardware that is cheaper and better than whatever they can acquire and flash themselves)

Taking a guess here, but Evernote? :)

You seem to be interpreting the statements as technical comparisons of the languages, but ch4s3 was (by my read) commenting on the overall ability of a programmer to jump from one language to another.

That is: they aren't similar languages on a technical level, but if you know Rust, you should be able to make the jump to Gleam pretty quickly.

Sometimes, a little nudge is all it takes. I didn’t get diagnosed until somebody close to me asked if I’d ever been evaluated. Highly recommend finding some way to bring it up.

OP might also like Essentialism. Very in line with YAGNI - it guides things outside of API design too!

Do you have a writeup somewhere about how this system works?

Cambridge. The job market is absolute trash right now and you managed to get your foot in the door at Amazon anyway. If you can do it now, you can certainly do it with your masters later if needed.

It's important to understand that what we have, we have because of a comparatively small group of people. That's important and interesting because it means you can influence the outcome of an election in two ways:

1. Get people to change sides. This is difficult: people who already vote in a particular way are unlikely to change because of external pressures (and in fact, are more likely to dig their heels in if challenged on their views); or

2. Get more people to vote. This can be challenging in its own way, but can also just boil down to logistics problems.

Whether or not 100% voter turnout would have the same results is neither here nor there. If you accept that premise + the premise that the vast majority of American voters vote down the party line for one of the major two, then you have potentially 2x the number of voters for your desired outcome. All you have to do is go find them and get them to vote.

If I’m going to be responsible for the code that Claude writes on my behalf, I’m also going to take full responsibility for the moment that it is added to the project history, so I’m going to at least review every line before I allow that to happen.

The automatic coauthor line is also just a pet peeve. It’s a tool, not a person. I don’t say that a commit was coauthored by vim - why should Claude get special treatment?

> ~50% of Americans voted for the party that is diametrically opposed to them

Less than half of the US population voted in the last election. ~50% of Americans _who voted_ voted for the party that is diametrically opposed to unions, but that group is only ~23% of _Americans_.

I have a theory. How close does the following describe you?

* You're an engineer with 3-6 years of experience in a primarily IC role

* Maybe you've done some tech lead stuff, but you've never actively worked in engineering management.

* You feel that management (and HR for some reason?) is constantly in the way of you getting stuff done, and that your life would be easier if you could simply decline every meeting and only communicate through pull requests.

Humor me, please. I'll explain after.

You understand how this sounds, right? It’s very “I totally have a girlfriend but she lives in Canada and is a model” vibes.

Do you have literally any proof? Otherwise, this is all just a silly made up story as far as I’m concerned.

To be clear, your claim is that 'much of the drug trade is r[u]n less than consensually' via some kind of undocumented, unknown-to-most brain implant that can be used to remotely torture people for non-compliance?

That claim falls apart as soon as it touches reality: there are a _lot_ of people who are involved in the drug trade, now and in the past. At some point, one of those people would definitely have had a CT or an MRI on their skull (e.g. my dentist does a whole head CT every 5 years as part of the normal process and insurance pays for it). Surely _one_ of those people would have noticed a brain implant.

This sounds extremely made up.

> There is a long history [...] that you will not find documented.

Then how do you know about it? This sounds extremely made up.
