I didn't know Bob personally but I ran into his work all the time online. Even from afar, there was something special and inspirational about crazybob! Didn't expect to wake up to this news today. My sincerest condolences to his family.
Thanks, was just wondering. I have a 3 year old and the prospect of raising him in today's tech environment is daunting. I can't imagine I'll have to deal with him having a smartphone, etc. It's terrible.
But statistical significance? I like anecdotes as much as the next person, but we’re talking “truth” and stuff here, right? This paper is out to critically inform me, right?
> That translates to 1.5 hours less time on the job each workweek, or a 3% reduction in hours.
A search for “statistically significant” yielded no results. So why am I not to assume, especially given the source, that this is more of that “Americans are lazier and less productive” thing that plays out daily in right-leaning media?

This is what they said about Wikipedia viz. Britannica… alas, it’s a brave new world out there… nowhere to run to nowhere to hide, see that Wiezenbaum post also on the homepage now, as another commenter quotes[0]:
> Writing of the enthusiastic embrace of a fully computerized world, Weizenbaum grumbled, “These people see the technical apparatus underlying Orwell’s 1984 and, like children on seeing the beach, they run for it”
> a point to which Weizenbaum added “I wish it were their private excursion, but they demand that we all come along.”
I don't use Docker locally except for building/testing production containers. I also found them not helpful for development.
That said, I recently discovered that VS Code has a feature called "Dev Containers"[0] that ostensibly makes it easy to develop inside the same Docker container you'll be deploying. I haven't had a chance to check it out, but it seems very cool.
To be clear, I meant "RIP Twitter" for me personally. I wouldn't bet on Twitter failing. I think he'll make it work one way another.
> The only way it goes under is if they are losing revenue and they actually go bankrupt at some point.
That said,
> According to press reports, Twitter requires more than a billion dollars a year just to maintain its debt service and anything that endangers loan repayment or workforce security could endanger the business.
