The Washington Post Editorial Board makes a false equivalence: Feminism is like Andrew Tate. You just have to compromise on the views of the person you marry.
Fuck that.

good morning fediverse :cofepats:
somehow during the chaos of last week's USian festivities I missed this announcement: Microsoft is moving ThreadX, the real-time operating system they bought for Azure, into the Eclipse Foundation as a fully open source RTOS: https://threadx.io/
(why care? ThreadX is what boots your Raspberries Pi, among other things...)

Like, I really don't get why so many of you are so eager to have statistical models write code for you.
I've been arguing for literally my whole career that the actual writing isn't the hard part of software development. But wow, did everyone take that in the wrong direction recently.
Understanding the system is the hard and valuable part. And I genuinely don't know how you think you're going to do that if you never get to do any of the safe and easy interactions with the system.

The size of the feature gap that Apple created and defended between native and web on mobile is galactic in scale. Was just showing someone the incredibly half-assed Notifications impl Cupertino did for web, and it's not even a box-checking exercise. We waited 8 years for *this*? An insult, and they still won't allow other browsers to pick up the slack.

Mastodon FeedDo you remember when Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) were treated like a serious financial instrument by VCs? Until SEC asked "whatcha got there?" and they were "haha, nothing", and the whole thing disappeared. Good times.
