@drahardja When I was at Microsoft, I encountered the phenomenon of the -1x engineer. The people who threw a load of code at projects that then took at least one full-time engineer to fix bugs in and refactor. These people were often rapidly moved to positions where they could do less immediate damage, such as going to cross-group design meetings. Unfortunately, this raised their profile and got them promotions and transfers to other teams who did not initially know how much damage they’d done in their previous team.

Interestingly, if you look at commits, these people had the exact opposite profile to the so-called ‘ghost engineers’. The people fixing their bugs would often make a load of single-line changes, they would be the ones throwing a thousand lines of spaghetti into the repo at a time. Often, it wasn’t just that the code was bad, it was the design was fundamentally flawed and they were solving entirely the wrong problem, but they wrote a lot of code and so looked productive.

The best engineers increase functionality or performance and write a net negative volume of code.

Ecclesiastes had commentary on contending with misinformation from the rich and powerful as countermanded by the poor and wise which still seems pertinent to the tyranny of narcissistic billionaires’ discourse in the present day:

“14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

17 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.”

The anti-science movement is going to be put in charge of the #NIH. The goal is simply to make the corruption endemic and hurt the American people. Don't let the liars attacking our intellectual institutions tell you otherwise.

Has anyone made an activitypub server designed for blog/blog comments?

E.g. blog posts are posted as messages, and then people can reply to it to post comments to the blog. But before a comment is publicly posted it has to be approved by a moderator (another activitypub account would be easiest, e.g. a star or a boost).

MIT has a set of books labelled "Open Access" but it's a little clunky to find them on the MIT Press site, and so I've gone ahead and mirrored 400+ of them here:

@annaleen kinda funky.

When it comes to the moon though, I don’t think human kind will ever get enough of Gil Scott-Heron’s 1970 “Whitey on the Moon” until they stop wasting resources on it when there is so much sufferance still on Earth.

(This isn’t the original album recording but is at least Gil in more than just his words: youtu.be/otwkXZ0SmTs?si=oLe929)

Hi fediverse!

I'm a lady who was born and raised in Portland, OR. Since about the time of the 1999 WTO protests, I've been involved in organizing toward the liberation of all people, trying to be as cool as the media at the time made the "Eugene Anarchists" sound.

These days, I mostly focus on labor organizing, emergency mutual aid efforts, and fun community events.

Other than that I play board/card games, play visual novels, read problematic romance thrillers and SF, listen to all types of music, and chill with my cat.

If I was a vegetable, I would be a parsnip.

Cool. Then, a bit later, I would like to write to it.

This is a terrific piece tht traces how the admin created policy tht increased prices, reduced store competition, killed 1000s of grocery store .

This Reagan allowed corps to engage in unfair price fixing tht disadvantaged smaller grocers leading to reemergence of in the 80s to now.

Robinson Patman act in the 1930s prohibition price fixing by big corps as a means to create antitrust advantage. 
Reagan effectively repealed RobinsonPatnan opening the path for big corps to price fix, throwing smaller grocers out of biz

Another take on Iron Arhat Rock Oolong, this one (2023) from Rivers and Lakes Tea. While it isn't as exceptional as the version from Tong Xin She, it is very good (and quite a bit cheaper). Good traditional rock tea flavor, but lacks a bit in depth of character and impression of longevity.
