What if it was a form of damage control, where they could claim in the future at lawsuits that they had total transparency at the time of the event.
Please, I’m kidding. But it would be interesting.

I imagine it started with some sub-installations actually giving approximations that were acceptable and summed up, but then some finalizing was not taken into account or something needed to be added after the other processes are finished, and the deadline was close. That last part builds up over time with other quick additions and some annoying stuff that is actually quite performance heavy and not easy to incorporate through the whole installation. “Let’s do it at the end as well.”
No time / budget to change the 100% to 99% as they have to adjust calculations based on the processes that actually do a good job. Although a display change could fake it, priorities are elsewhere.
Sharing ideas can definitely be worth something when it leads to something actual original/concrete/useful, but on another level.
Most ideas these “creatives” come up with are neither of those + they are not willing to put in some effort to solidify the idea themselves.
The wiki link states software to be included in the definition. Management is not IT of course, but as there exists management in IT is used in the image I’d guess.
I’ve spent most of my day reading this, thanks for sharing. Although the contents are quite rough, it’s amazing this person has been able to use his art skills for this purpose.
As I understand the term genocide, that seems not to exactly be what is happening here. Although one could say it certainly rhymes with it.
Didn’t read your part for non USians so was searching on the left side of the chart. Still wanted to say thanks though for adding it :p
The point is, laying all these people off with performance as reason protects Cloudflare in not having to pay extra (which would be legally needed if the employee was not at fault).
This is probably not any kind of proof she can use, but it does make people aware of how Cloudflare operates.
It’s understandable companies have to fire people and as an employee you’d probably do best to accept the harsh reality of a business. But if they really communicate fake causes with lay-offs (not only hurting the employee mentally, but also financially bypassing rightful compensation by law), this should be known by the public.
To be fair though, we cannot confirm her statements to be true either. But I think it’s an interesting share nonetheless.
That’s true, although I believe you still have to give permission to an app to use this (at least on Android). Not to say that people won’t accept things way too fast.
While I agree with your sentiments, for a modern country I see it as a tool to be able to more easily handle international relationships with some countries who still see the importance (like an old handy swiss army knife you have laying around). As long as the monarchy is purely ceremonial and does not affect your own country’s politics.
It should disappear sooner or later though. If it did not have that sneaky, seemingly effective benefit (as I’ve been dumbfounded by in the Netherlands) I’d be all for removing it right away.
Very interesting, thanks! And I’d guess that if it’s like a celebrity who gets mass voted on, without him/her knowing or agreeing and wins, they could easily just say they’re not up to the task, minus peer-pressure. In theory if they’d get all the votes, the elections should be done once more.
But if people insist and again only vote on this celebrity, could that person explicitly upfront claim not to be a valid vote?
What if two people with the same name are sort of politically active (not on ballot) and you write a name down, which one gets the vote?
And what if I come up with a meme to vote for some random person, and people copy that and all vote for someone who unknowingly wins.
I’m interested if they have protocols for these (unlikely, but possible) scenarios.
Interesting, would you still be able to write someone’s name down if it’s not on the ballot? And could that be anyone’s name?
Plain copy paste without a critical view is not recommended, but it surely provides good pieces of code from time to time. Especially in obscure frameworks/languages, compared to what can be googled.
ChatGPT 4 is a really big difference with 3.5 though. What took me hours together with the 3.5, was fixed in a few minutes with 4.
Do they… just breath really fast?
Well, cooperation is a dominant survival strategy. But that does not mean it’s fair or that everyone will be an even slightly equally beneficial party.
A bunch of cells in rapid development with the potential to become a human being. Murder is a strong term, but in a broad sense I don’t think your insinuation is wrong per se.
This might be getting a bit controversial, but for the sake of discussion:
The important thing here is, do you mind if that potential for life is taken away. In this case we place priority on the human being that eventually has to dedicate her life to that potential. Or is that new potential more important than that already existing, conscious human being (especially when there are physical / mental problems involved)?
It comes down to why we live, and why must we live? Personally I believe trying to avoid (potential of) suffering is a more reasonable concept.
If one gives life to a baby, you give it a potential for suffering which it otherwise does not. I’d say the ways one can suffer is of a greater weight than the ways one can be happy. So if you go the route of creating life, you better be damn confident that you are in a good position to do that.
In that philosophy ‘murdering’ a potential with a large chance of creating more suffering for the collective is not that bad. One might view this differently when the being is conscious and might actively not want to die, as we bring the complexity of individual human choice to the table and what worth that has; but I think we can agree that is not applicable on the unborn potential human being discussed in this topic.
If for example a client application is (accidentally) firing doubled requests to your API, you might get deadlocks in this case. Which is not bad per se, as you don’t want to conform to that behaviour. But it might also happen if you have two client applications with updates to the same resource (patching different fields for example), in that case you’re blocking one party so a retry mechanism in the client or server side might be a solution.
Just something we noticed a while ago when using transactions.
Interesting, I work with both at my job and my main take is:
CLI of Mac is superior to me and least confusing, plus has it’s whole CLI experience working correctly for a long time, but Windows did a bit of a catch-up (still not on par IMO and too many ways of working)
The GUI settings are more advanced on Windows, but the new/old interface are a cluster fuck; I don’t trust the interaction between them
Windows has more compatibility options with hardware/software, if you dig deep enough you can make things work most of the times
The general MacOS experience (from starting your computer, opening apps, using the CLI) performs better, Windows feels a bit more sluggish/bloated to me
I do like the steps that Microsoft takes with things like Visual Studio Code and .NET of aiming cross-platform. I have in no way any hatred for Microsoft and I think both operating systems have their pros and cons. They are both fine to work with.
Chrome went to a :D above 99. But I believe they changed that, not sure as I use FF now too.
