Did you not see this exchange last year?

> @breakingbaht: "Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

> @elonmusk: "You have said the actual truth."

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk...

It's hard to get more explicit than that.

Taken in context, additional tweets:

@elonmusk: I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind.”

ADL literally defined racism as: “the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges White people.”

Such that white people can't be discriminated against.

The ADL is a Jewish run organization.

I agree with Elon on this. I don't think this is anti-semitic, this is calling out Jewish communities for anti-white racism.

It's kind of disgusting that in your haste to demonize Musk you cherry pick your information instead of trying to get to the truth.

Jewish communities are not some totally innocent group of people they have flaws just like the rest of human beings and calling them out is not "anti-semitic".

Then let's get this thread good and Godwined.

Hitler thought Germany should have good roads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsautobahn

Hitler also thought Germany should have good railways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitspurbahn

Nothing extremist in that, not even in the slightest.

It's just a shame about the rest of it.

sir-dingleberry · a year ago
Not sure how that applies to Elon in the slightest. I've never seen him promote anti-semitic views.

I mean if you follow him because you subscribe to the same views then no they aren't extreme to you, sure, obviously.

But several of those things are part of extremist platforms. What it could look like or mean to hold one of those views alone in a vacuum is irrelevant, we're talking about what political action is taken by publicly endorsing an extremist faction's platform.

And this is not even getting into the things that are... I mean come on. Why is there no "is it extreme to amplify an anti-semitic conspiracy theory?" in your post?

sir-dingleberry · a year ago
Getting close to Godwins law there.

I've never seen Musk promote anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

And none of those things I mentioned are extremist in the slightest.

Is it extreme to believe that we should pay attention to the government deficit?

Is it extreme to believe that illegal immigration is out of control.

Is it extreme to believe that we should have ID's at elections?

Is it extreme to believe that there should be a department of governmental efficiency when the government just lost billions in the Iraq war?

Is it extreme to believe that we should become a multi planetary species.

I read Elon's tweets daily and nothing is extreme.

This is one of the many Elon hit pieces because he doesn't go along with the mainstream programming.

Why are there so many site publishing solutions? Is it that good of a business? Is it advantageous to smaller players?
sir-dingleberry · a year ago
They're relatively easy to make.

That's...a long way away.

You mean CLAP? Latency and availability are basically the same thing. CAP is simple.

Do these tech CEO's just cargo cult everything?

Is that what they teach at MBA school? Just do what everyone else is doing.

My worst codebase story:

In my first real job, I worked for a company that maintained a large legacy product programmed in a combination of COBOL and Java.

In order to work on the Java side of the product, you checked out individual files from source control to work on, which 'locked' the files and prevented other developers from checking out the same files. This functionality was not part of our actual source control system, but was instead accomplished with a series of csh shell scripts you could run after ssh'ing into our development server.

Each of our customers had a 'master' jar file that represented the actual final compiled product (a jar file is really a zip file archive, which bundles together the resulting compiled java class files).

Once you had finished implementing your code changes, you ran another set of scripts which found the master jar file for each customer, unzips it, copies the compiled files from your local machine into it, and zips it back up again. Finally the source control lock is released.

This means, effectively, that the codebase was never compiled as a whole at any point in the process, instead, we just manually patched the jar file over time with individually compiled class files.

Over the years, small errors in the process allowed a huge amount of inconsistencies to creep into the codebase. Race conditions would allow two developers to lock the same file at once, or a developer would change a class that was a dependency of some other code that somebody else was changing. Sometimes code changes would make it into some of the customer jar files, but not others. Nobody knew why.

It took a small team two years to migrate the entire codebase to git with proper CI, and a huge chunk of that time was reproducing a version of the codebase that actually compiled properly as a whole. After the project was finished, I resigned.

This is insane. Thanks for the post.
