Nobody knows what VHS stands for anyway. And I've still got some of the damned things. Video 2000 was a better format anyway.

What if twitter polls were on the blockchain? As we all know, code is law in the block chain so Apple would have do whatever the poll says

Jesus Christ if the GOP starts trying to write legislation to retaliate against Apple for not doing what Elon wants with a single digit majority, no senate and no obliging president to sign their poo poo if by some miracle it ever made it to his desk. Guaranteed to win over independents in swing states for 2024 if they somehow managed it clearly. Where was "PROTECC ELON!" ranked on that list of issues potential midterm voters were polled about again? No seriously if Scalise wants to whip votes on that particular legislation I hope its as on the record and televised as it can possibly be.

It seems like it's in the same vein as Florida going after Disney's special status over whatever it was that got DeSantis so piss mad (black mermaids or Buzz Lightyear having two mommies or some other national crisis, I don't remember). When they were sure they were going to red wave in the midterms they also started throwing around the idea of investigating any corporation that has pulled back on donations to GOP, which is a very not-Mafia thing to suggest. It looks like the GOP is still looking for the cheap, easy, immediate gratification of some outrage thing to rally around instead of doing the hard work of looking inward and figuring out why nobody wants them in charge. Surely they can rekindle the fire that got Sesame Street characters disinvited to CPAC and put the hate on somebody, somewhere. Right?

The even funnier thing will be if Elon does not sort out his moderation and pretty much every European country with online safety bills, plus the EU itself, make apple and google remove it from stores anyway. The new UK bill for example means that every single tweet and image with adult content must be behind a 18+ wall or have a I am over 18 splash page.

Dynastocles posted:I know this thread agrees the push to "write more CODEEE" is dumb, but can someone explain to me why it's dumb? I get the impression that writing code isn't like mining coal where more doing = more profit which is what Elon seems to think. Code is can be seen as applied problem solving. The first problem with MORE CODE is code is one part of the end stage of problem solving. You have to first identify the problem then analysis the problem then propose solutions then you start coding as part of your implementation step. Then after that you have testing(although you can also write the tests before writing code), committing and maintenance. So it encourages skipping problem solving steps to focus on the one metric being measured. Measure zero, cut once and hope for the best. The second problem is that a big problem doesn't necessarily need more code than a smaller problem. The third problem is what problems you should prioritise doesn't have a complete relation to code length. The fourth problem is lines of code is a metric that can be gamed. People can just use more lines of code to look better. The fifth problem is now people have an incentive to try to work on projects with lots of lines of code. You have now added 6 tons of team swapping and infighting and key projects having a hard time getting team members if people think that project won't have tons of lines of code. The sixth problem is you want your code to have certain qualities. Things like readability and being maintainable. Writing lines of code just to have lines of code so you don't get fired affects that.

So if I write code I should use twice as many lines and never include documentation to keep it as obtuse as possible? Sounds like job security to me!

When they were sure they were going to red wave in the midterms they also started throwing around the idea of investigating any corporation that has pulled back on donations to GOP, which is a very not-Mafia thing to suggest. Disney's CEO publicly criticized some anti-LGBT culture war law he passed which prompted a retaliation against a private corporation for taking a critical position of a government policy that was championed by vindictive MAGA chuds that see antagonizing anyone not straight white male as their raison d'etre. If I recall he turned it into classic MAGA victimhood narrative of "standing up to corporate overreach that's long overdue".

IBM had discovered the idiocy of paying developers by the kloc (thousand lines of code) in like the 60s. The Mythical Man-Month is from 1975. All the principles of "how to not be stupid when running a software project" have been known for over half a century. Even Scott Adams knew all this poo poo so well he put jokes like this in ma and pa kettle's newspapers  Fuckin Elon Musk "the world came into being five minutes before I set foot in it"

I am still not over Dense and Intense. I work my best when packed in with a ton of other people. gently caress the cube walls, just gimme bare floor, rave lighting, and pass the extension cord. Lol you think they're all working on one problem together like that Monty Python skit where they all try to read a book?

Florida had that dont say gay bill disney does campaign donation (aka bribes) to florida politicians. If I have it right, California disney employees complained for the company to not do those donations and to denounce the bill and its supporters. Then boom desantis got his bill revoking the improvement district. Of course if the district is dissolved the billions in bonds it has out will have to be taken over by someone. So I suspect disney and florida will work something out while idots do victory laps.

Rigel posted:Elon Musk founded the company (X.com in 1999) that would eventually become paypal. This is one of the very few decent accomplishments he made where he deserves some credit, as opposed to just being the bag of money who provided financing. He had at least one legit good idea in his life, a lot of people didn't think it would work but it did. It very quickly became successful within months, so good job, Elon. However, before even one year passed after founding the company, the board didn't like some of Musk's decisions, thought he was not cut out to be a CEO, and replaced him. This is giving Elon Musk a lot more credit than he deserves, which seems to be the one constant in his entire life. PayPal, including its innovative-for-the-time digital payments system, was released by Confinity the year prior to their merger with X.com. X.com was just a run of the mill internet bank with a stupid moniker. When Confinity and X.com merged, Musk insisted that they keep the X.com name. Then it's like you say: they went back to calling it PayPal after ousting Musk from the CEO position because X.com sounds more like an adult website than an internet payments system. His biggest accomplishment here was managing to take credit for a system that he had nothing to do with.
