Could you make the same argument about in person chats out loud?

If so, then they better record everything their employees say!

That's the stupidest article ever. "Let's destroy our planets and kill all the animals because it might lead to better science maybe"

New comment by JaceLightning in "SpaceX is suing to bust up federal union protections"

Oh that's easy. *They aren't*

An employee has one job: to help their employer make money. That's it.

If they aren't doing their job (by harming the reputation of their employer), then they shouldn't be employed.

Title is misleading. Has nothing to do with union protections.

Sounds like a strong case. Why should companies be forced to employ people who actively work to harm the reputation of said company?

No lol we won't have fully self driving cars in our lifetime. We would need cars to fully understand human speech and understanding and be able to react with 100% accuracy 100x faster than humans.

Possible? Yes, but not for decades to come.

New comment by JaceLightning in "Goodbye, clean code (2020)"

JaceLightning — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 13:23:04 +0000

Article is dumb. He says don't write readable code for two reasons: 1) refactoring someone else's code might hurt their feelings. 2) you might need more functionality later.

Wut.

Write clean code. Write better unit tests.

Duh. Reddit owns the code. They can flip on any site they want to. "going dark" has no real power.

Reddit died a long time ago. It's just a cesspool of one-sided arguments.

Instead of making yet another file, why not just upstream optimizations into react?

How will websites know if users are using them if they can't collect data?
