$10 bills are dope because you can tip service people who would normally only receive/expect a $5 or maybe some $1s. you can't be handing out $20s all day, you're not made of money

arbuge 8 minutes ago | next [–] I might be in the minority here but I personally find personalized ads useful, and am far more annoyed by ads recommending products and services completely irrelevant to my interests and/or needs. (The latter still account for the ads I see most of the time, unfortunately.) reply

starbase 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] Last month the same union called for a walkout at Tesla. It failed, with employees citing Tesla's higher wages, better working conditions, stock options, and workplace cohesion as reasons they declined to strike. "Employees who explained why they didn't join the walkout wished to remain anonymous due to concerns about potential repercussions from the union" With that failure under their belt, and having successfully chilled the speech of their opponents, the union is now resorting to tactics of war--a trade blockade--against a company whose employees have chosen not to unionize. Upstanding folks in that union, I tell ya what. reply

efitz 7 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [–] They should eliminate the license altogether and get out of the business of deciding who can practice law. Professional licensing is generally a scam that allows people in a trade to control competition among other things. Under color of government it’s given the veneer of “protecting the public” but in reality it’s protectionist and also used to punish people who don’t think or act like the licensing organization prefers. reply

swsdsailor 34 minutes ago | prev | next [–] Paying a bribe should not get you in trouble. The city forces their hand. One stroke of their pen and your design costs increase by tens of thousands under some minor pretext. If you want to get something done you absolutely have to bribe them or they will decimate your budget with endless changes. reply

they're pretty close. the US system is not a direct bribe to someone at the city/county. instead you have to hire the correct person, who used to work there, to get your project through

smokel 28 minutes ago | prev | next [–] This may sound like I am a complete idiot, but I sincerely think that reading works like the Tao Te Ching may help more than reading books on software architecture. There are still many new ways of architecture to be found. For example, making software with an extension language could result in way better systems than a system envisioned by a customer who has no clue about computers. But unfortunately, it is often a nonsensical output constraint that determines how software evolves. Knowing how to manage these constraints is key. And this requires understanding and being able to successfully communicate with people, and keeping track of contemporary hardware and software to interface with. The actual software design seems largely irrelevant to me. Just use good names, and subdivide complexity into modules with a lower cumulative complexity. reply

pattern language as a concept comes from Christopher Alexander’s architecture writing. this hackerling is correct that there are lots of sources of good learning on systems and interactions outside software. I presume that this is blind luck

dboreham 12 minutes ago | next [–] I think our own brains have fooled us into thinking that cognitive processes are more clever/complex than they really are. The recent successes from LLMs/Generative AI give a hint that things don't need to be so complex and mysteriously difficult to be quite like human intelligence. "Imagination" seems like just an indirection mechanism: simple animal can do "go towards the food you can sense". A more complex animal can "remember where the food was sensed, then go towards that place later". An even more complex animal can: "From other sensed information (e.g. habitat type), construct the same food-memory object that the more primitive animal used, then go towards that". By the time you get to that third level of sophistication we're calling the mechanism imagination. reply
