What is G&A?

General and administration staff?


This looks interesting, how is the experience?

Why are you being so combative?

I dont understand how you can say that its a bad thing to ask an IT professional community like HN for advice?

I assume you were born with all the knowledge of the world?


Probably the "should I force X on my team" instead of managing them like professionals with insight (or even just treating them like adults).

Managers deciding minutiae like this is the type of micromanagement you make blog posts about, imo.

You would have likely received less combative feedback without your first sentence. I would have framed it as "recommend to team"


He is mentioning Vance and Musk as beacons of democracy and free speech.

Did you and I read different tweets?

"While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration" and "in this case @ElonMusk is right" are not how you talk about beacons.

Yes, the Administration who is famously so pro Free-Speech, that they intimidate and prosecute senators, when they make a video about "PSA: You can refuse illegal orders"

Well, what is it now?

UK, Italy, Europe, European Union?

Seems hard to differentiate for many, it seems.


I agree, he seems to be ranting and escalating unnecessarily.

The are fining his company 213% of yearly Italian revenue. He is not the one escalating.

He took a risk in ignoring a law instead of exiting the market. They did not escalate, they applied the law.

What we need is an international legal framework for the Internet. And that includes compromises on all sides. China, EU, Russia, US and others have very different understanding on what is right. But hey, I think US politics is America first and cancel all international treaties. Sounds like more problems like this are incoming.


I think it would be more effective if US establishes deterrence against punitive fines of its companies.

Sure, next we should implement global communism and live in peace and harmony forever! That is most definitely feasible

I thought this was from MS, who also has a program called MSSQL Management Studio, short SQL Studio. They will come after this for sure.

The fact that some people may call it SQL Studio (never heard that personally) doesn't mean they will come after this "for sure". If anything SQL Studio is too generic to be valuable. Besides most people call it "Sequel Management Studio" anyway.

Well to my understanding, half of the point of trademark in the US is to prevent 'consumer-confusion' regardless of company interest

Or Microsoft Sequel Copilot any day now.

Never heard that. People call it SSMS.

Or "Management Studio". Never heard "SQL Studio" either.

Yea this feels kind of unecessary from him and makes him look a bit full of himself.

Tabs on mobile arent really the same.

I never close tabs or re-use old open tabs on mobile, since the UI just buries them and I just open a new tab if i want to check something, so I will just accumulate useless tabs.

On my Laptop i try to only hoard a handful of tabs. I just noticed I have some open since months, but never gotten to reading them.

The thing is i want to read the content, but never find time, so they just stay there.


Also started using emacs (doom) a couple of months ago, after realizing that jetbrains and vscode are going to be AI-shittified, and there is no turning back.

At this point, I would recommend to every coder worth his salt to just jump to vim/neovim or emacs, these editors will be around for the next 1000 years and you wont need to fight against some BS features and you wont need to switch ever egain. The 1-2 month learning curve is worth it!


I set a calendar appointment for 1000 years in the future to fact check this claim


I was a long time Emacs user, spent way too much of my life in ~/.emacs.d/init.el. I don't use it for anything other than magit any more. I just tried it again, first by upgrading my packages in package.el. Of course, everything is still locked up when I `package-menu-execute` to upgrade packages. I guess in a thousand years it will still be mostly single-threaded, with almost every action locking up the UI thread.

Not sure why you are always posting the same regurgitated answer to the legitimate concerns here.

There is clearly a big issue with the way SO handles moderation, which many people complain about and why these SO threads always get so much attention.

Also its now very clear that the current status quo isnt working since the site is in a death spiral now.

If the “goal” doesnt work, you have to change and fix the “goal” and not force people to “understand” it.

Frankly you are posting here in the same way the usual SO mod acts.

I was also once a contributor, but I have the same opinions about the harsh rules and points system.


> Not sure why you are always posting the same regurgitated answer to the legitimate concerns here.

I have more reach here than blogging about it, unfortunately.

But, ironically, it also helps illustrate the point about duplicate questions.

> If the “goal” doesnt work, you have to change and fix the “goal” and not force people to “understand” it.

No, that's literally the opposite of how communities work. There is no "force"; there are only conditions on having your contributions welcomed. Having your question closed on Stack Overflow is no more "force" than having your PR rejected on GitHub. You aren't the one who gets to decide whether the goal is "working", because the site is not there to provide you a service of asking questions, any more than Wikipedia is there to provide you a service of sharing opinions on real-world phenomena.

There's no reason that the Stack Overflow community should give, or ever have given, a damn about "the site being in a death spiral". Because that is an assessment based on popularity. Popular != good; more importantly, valuing popularity is about valuing the ability of the site to make money for its owners, but none of the people curating it see a dime of that. They (myself included) are really only intrinsically motivated to create the thing.

The thing is demonstrably useful. Just not in the mode of interaction that people wanted from it.

The meta site constantly gets people conspiracy theorizing about this. Often they end up asserting things about the reputation system that are the exact opposite of how it actually works. For example, you can gain a maximum of 1000 reputation, ever, from editing posts, and it only applies to people whose edits require approval. The unilateral edits are being done by someone who sees zero incentive beyond the edited text appearing for others. They're done because of a sincere belief that a world where third parties see the edited text is better than a world where third parties see the original text.

> Frankly you are posting here in the same way the usual SO mod acts.

You're talking about people who, in almost every case, as an objective matter of fact, are not moderators. The overwhelming majority of "moderation actions" of every stripe are done by the community, except for the few that actually require a moderator (https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/432658).
