Nah, it's just a convention adopted from French after the Norman Conquest.

How is that his biggest problem? He has no impulse control, or no desire for it; he lies incessantly to further his interests; he's a horrible manager; etc.

You're looking at it backwards. White people get an automatic advantage because they're white. Any advantages given to minorities are an attempt to balance the game.

‘The future of mankind’ only rests on life beyond earth if everybody gives up on keeping earth livable. The biggest threat to humanity is humanity, and a colony on the moon or Mars isn’t going to fix that problem.

My problem with code search is that when I’m searching I’ll randomly get dumped to github.com/search with the search blanked, and anything I put in the search box at that URL is ignored. I have to go back in my history until I’m in the normal GitHub UI again. My search has also been discarded there, but at least I can interact with it.

Yes. I flagged this because it's just Elon claiming something that's at best speculation.

Yeah:

'After April 2021, when the key was leaked to the corporate environment in the crash dump, the Storm-0558 actor was able to successfully compromise a Microsoft engineer’s corporate account. This account had access to the debugging environment containing the crash dump which incorrectly contained the key.'

So either the attacker was already in the network and happened to find the dump while doing some kind of scanning that wasn't detected, or they knew to go after this specific person's account.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen ‘an update on’ something that wasn’t an end-of-life announcement.

This seems like a case where Go’s ‘minimum version selection’ approach would have helped——Sidekiq would have continued using an older version of the dependency that didn’t have the breaking change.

These days polyfills are seen as a bad practice, and instead people recommend ‘ponyfills’ that export the relevant functions but don’t monkeypatch.

I don’t think it’s a very persuasive rebuttal. I infer that McQuinn is a libertarian, which explains the issue: it amounts to ‘well [as a white man who automatically has power in every social situation I encounter] I haven’t had any problems, unlike those weak-willed dorks’ and bad-faith implications that Freeman supports capitalist structure.
