Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can’t just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)

It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren’t supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.

But there is probably an impact. Now I’m curious about how they decide the fares

NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I’m insufferable about this but it’s really nice.

That’s too much money. Especially for a company that kind of sucks and is succeeding largely on inertia.

Bad idea. Fertile ground for abuse, intentional or otherwise. As others have said, it’s hubris to think one or two untrained adults can do professional grade teaching.

All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.

A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don’t give chainsaws out to children. We don’t use chainsaws for cutting dinner.

There are human elements to the problem but that’s not a big reveal.

I dislike postman. I see job postings that are like “MUST KNOW POSTMAN”. Fuck, people should know how to make API requests but postman isn’t the only tool for that.

Furthermore, if I’m doing automated tests to run on PR I’m not going to use a GUI. Pytest or jest or whatever testing library your language has.

I did use Bruno for a while for convenience during local development, though.

I think a lot about how one time we spent s few hours estimating how long a project would take. Management came back and said no, that’s too long, we’d need to finish in a month.

Well if that’s how long it has to take why not lead with that?

Bunch of idiot empty husks doing cargo-cult “agile”

Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.

That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.

No government should be relying on private platforms like that.

The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.

Yes. They are stupid and don’t deserve their huge paychecks.

They could’ve done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would’ve had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.

I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)

This experience helps users quickly understand content

They really think we’re stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.

Platforms could moderate their content. They choose not to.

Most developers I’ve looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.

I often would skim the script in the browser, but a. This post shows that’s not fool proof and b. a sufficiently sophisticated malicious script would fool a casual read
