There's this founder that referred to Stripe as 'mafia' and I'm following the lawsuit where the same founder took a $30M loan from their startup, and simply defaulted on it (never paid it back) and it's not a year+ since the company is trying to somehow get it back

Ironic

It’s so devastating to lose your decade-old Facebook account to a hacker and FB offering no real support to recover it.

A friend asked for help as this just happened to them.

Someone accessed their old Hotmail, changed their FB and… it’s gone (disabled?). Nothing to see or do.

An amusing branding localization problem:

HBO Max was renamed to “Max” in most markets. In the Netherlands, the HBO Max app prompts users to download the “Max” app. But the localized app name for “Max” is “HBO Max” - likely thanks to an existing local TV network called Max!

What’s an important life lesson that everyone should know?

Here’s mine:

Telling someone to “relax” or “calm down” is often the worst thing you can say in almost any disagreement.

Management should certainly be accountable. But so should the engineers. The fact that managers “tap their feet and point at their watches” does not absolve engineers of their duty to do a good job. It is true that we all make mistakes. It is also true that we must be accountable for our mistakes.

On Initialization vs Assignment.

During the last day or so, I’ve become quite surprised by the number of people who assert that initialization is a form of assignment.

The fact that so many languages use the = operator for both has likely contributed to the confusion. It should be remembered, however, that older languages tried to avoid using = for assignment. Some used :=, or ::=, or ==, or even <-. They did this in order to keep the two concepts separate.

In order to understand why this was (and still is) important we need to go back in time a little farther.

CLA

TAD ONE

DCA X

HLT

ONE, 1

X, 0

Here you see a simple PDP 8 program written in assembly language. The first line clears the accumulator register. Then the value of the ONE variable is added to the accumulator. Then the value of the accumulator is stored in the X variable. Then the machine halts.

The ONE and X variables are loaded with their initial values prior to execution beginning. That is initialization. The value of the X variable is changed during execution. That is assignment.

These concepts are very old, and the names we chose for them, initialization and assignment, have been in use for over half a century.

It is an irrefutable fact that a society that does not value the having and raising of healthy children must end in ruin.

It is therefore also irrefutable that a political ideology that supports the killing of children before they are born, the sterilization of children after they are born, and the indoctrination of children, to avoid having children of their own in pursuit of more selfish goals, will lead their societies into ruin.
