A key thing to understand about the technology industry is that Hacker News is a very well-known community for some kinds of coders to hang out; it is an extremist content site run as paid promotion for the venture capital firm YCombinator. Here, an ordinary discussion of the obvious reality that tech workers deserve unions features responses citing explicitly white supremacist rhetoric as a counterargument. No one is even surprised that this is how YC markets itself. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37507458
@anildash I can't find the racist rhetoric, so either it's buried deeper than my reading speed, or you're speaking quite broadly of meritocracy as a racist presupposition (or rather a presupposition common long racists).
If it's the latter, I've always found it easier to note the lack of equal start, than adopting an adversarial stance. Inequality is well documented and easy to understand once someone presents it.
In this episode we get our creative juices flowing and John makes a solemn vow. Also we have amazing listener questions as well as ttrpg news

Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested
@bstix Yea, searching is basically slow, and unsearchable.
However, a proper setup tutorial has the virtue of being complete. People will typically forget to write 'import random' in their python docs, or 'systemctl restart transmission', because they think it's obvious.
With video tutorials, you get the whole thing, and you can literally see where you're deviating from the script.
Of course that's possible with written text, but I seldom find it.
That feels like a bit of a deviation.
I've read 4 or 5 translations, and don't remember similar phrasing.
There's the MIT copy for comparison:
"He who knows other men is discerning; he who knows himself is intelligent. He who overcomes others is strong; he who overcomes himself is mighty. He who is satisfied with his lot is rich; he who goes on acting with energy has a (firm) will."
I don't like Faramir. He's coarse and rough and irritating and he gets everywhere (lemmy.mywire.xyz)
How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it? (tim.kicker.dev)
