"If we simply ran every test on every configuration on every push, we’d run approximately 1.35 billion test files per day!"

SOCIALIST REALISM: Before the cosmonaut can take their first step, an army of workers must crunch numbers, fabricate parts, draft blueprints, and test and design rocketry.

CAPITALISM: uuuhh Elon Musk makes the rockets go.

in my mind, hacker news has done more to demonize the word 'hacker' than cybercriminals ever did

good morning

Folks, leave Medium please. That's impossible.

Leave it to Elizabeth Warren to spot a major problem and offer a completely inadequate solution:

We need a rent moratorium, not just an eviction moratorium, ffs.

Do you have a garage you could start a business in like the capitalist propaganda always says?

Cancel culture has always existed, it's just that it's historically punched down at women & people of color who dared rise above their station. It wasn't until it started punching up at powerful white men (and some white women) that it suddenly became a problem. Weird, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also: "you may not use wikipedia" at the undergrad level is bullshit.

Public universities should teach students about stuff like libgen.is and scihub. Change my mind.

Reading this conversation between Kantrowitz (author of 'Always Day One') and Liu (author of 'Abolish Silicon Valley') about the best ways to make tech "better", and having a lot of trouble taking Kantrowitz seriously. His understanding of Silicon Valley seems very much like that of an outsider that believes the myths that tech tells about itself.
