Learn to Code: The Continuing Journeys

Vox previously championed California's measure AB5 which essentially made freelancing illegal.

Then Vox started cutting all of its freelancers.

53 First of all coding ain't easy, especially if you want to make anything useful and profitable.


I will give any of these bozos a raspberry pi configured as a LAMP server and spot them 5 years and they still wouldn't be able to produce anything worth shit.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at July 15, 2020 05:58 PM (6OsHE)

54 All of these online magazines were propped up on lies and promises of clickbait advertising earnings and weaponizing social media for money to investors. Now the payday has come and the money didn't show up as promised (sometimes at all) and the investors are backing out.

Its oddly similar to the dot com boom in 2000, but more isolated. A bunch of suckers got fed a line and poured cash into these operations. One got sued out of existence and the others just wasted tons of money on bitchen office spaces and hiring all their friends, but not producing the cash expected.

But yeah, that "gig" law that destroyed freelancing and is an attempt to shut down voices not part of the big corporate news and information is a factor there.

The Left will protect you right out of a job. Then laugh at you and say they did you a favor since the job was no good anyway.

That's part of the paradigm for sending jobs overseas. Beautiful pie in the sky elaborate expensive regulations and protections that justify sending jobs to shitholes overseas that worry about such things not at all.

224 How does this 'bitcoin hack' work? WTF can you do with a Twitter account other than ruin your life and your sanity?
Posted by: Mr. Peebles at July 15, 2020 06:22 PM (oVJmc)


It's a scam. Famous people's accounts are being hacked and posting if you buy X amount of bitcoins here I will match twice as much or some such.

Bezos got hit. Elon Musk. Biden. Obama.

The best theory I've seen so far is that someone at Twitter got fired and is causing havoc on the way out.

There is also a fart joke in "petard". The root of the word also (French, I think) is an old word for farting.

Shakespeare had lots of moron-level jokes in his work, but they are lost on us today because of the change in language.

So "hoist by his own petard" had meaning of someone farting violently and launching themselves in the air.

234 Late to the conversation but from MW dictionary website: The phrase comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet: "For 'tis the sport to have the enginer / Hoist with his own petar." "Hoist" in this case is the past participle of the verb hoise, meaning "to lift or raise," and "petar(d)" refers to an explosive device used in siege warfare. Hamlet uses the example of the engineer (the person who sets the explosive device) being blown into the air by his own device as a metaphor for those who schemed against Hamlet being undone by their own schemes. The phrase has endured, even if its literal meaning has largely been forgotten.

241 The conservative case for exporting all of our computer coding jobs to China- you can literally lock 30,000 of them in a room for days and they will program whatever you want. All it costs is a little rice and water. And as a bonus, the social credit monitoring comes built in, so when we make the conservative case for a centralized authoritarian command economy, the software won't have to be rewritten to track subservient citizens.

244 A petard needed to be hoisted(lifted) into place, thus when someone comes up with a stupid idea that could go very badly wrong he is told, "Hoist your own petard."

Also, they would not necessarily blow up when intended, blowing the engineer into the air

Well they started out, trying not to code
Started out, with a student loan
And they shouted out, for a gig worker bill
Cali voted it up, and their jobs got killed

They're learning to code, 'cause they ain't got pings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good ol' days will not return
And the woke might cry and the cities burn

They're learning to code, 'cause they ain't got pings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So they've started out for Gaia knows where
I guess they'll know when they get there

They're learning to code, navigate the Cloud
But what goes up must come down

They're learning to code, 'cause they ain't got pings
Coming down is the hardest thing
They're learning to code, backup to Cloud
But what goes up must come down

They're learning to code
They're learning to code
