Not just the opposition. In other times this would have been the reason for a revolution.

Uh-huh. Sorry mate, I'm not in the business of unwarrantedly lecturing my customers or authorities about technical correctness. But if that floats your boat…

As someone who's built just that, can confirm. If users have SSO configured, or a Passkey, or any other policies apply, you first need to identify the account to be able to determine which options to offer - maybe they don't even

Attributing all joy and personal preference people experience to marketing influence is a pretty cynical take, and also a pretty inaccurate and overly simplistic one: Some people might never be reached by a marketing effort, yet buy a speci

To what goal? USAID and similar programs always had the indirect benefit of opening up foreign markets to the USA. It's just short-sighted out of sheer economic considerations - and that's ignoring the ridiculous recklessness of p

That's a weird way to look at it. Any car gets you to your destination, but some people prefer driving a sports car or an SUV. They get something out of it that isn't just a marketing delusion, but subjective joy from the interact

What are a thousand years other than a couple of generations? What does it matter from further away? We always forget about the past eventually. There are so many great civilisations we only have tiny shreds of knowledge about, and yet in

Great! Now, the remaining thing we need is the ability to declare an AI agent a legal person, and then we're off for some very interesting times.

Framing it as a transaction is part of the problem IMHO. We have a collective interest that the majority of the population gets the best education possible. Turning universities into credential stores leads to all the negative side effects

My point wasn't that every existing equity effort is justified and flawless, but that there is a clear reason why some kind of levelling is required if you want to live in a fair society - and I do believe most of us want that.

And that's commendable, but what if your brother would not have had time for doing cross country in high school because he had to care for his siblings as your parents were poor and working double shifts? Or so heavily indebted due to

If you hold a race, but some people start further behind others, they have a longer track to run. I think we can agree that to call it a fair race, we'd want to accommodate for the track length.

Sounds like people are paying for these courses is part of the actual problem, then? Students should not have any kind of entitlement whatsoever to pass classes other than merit.

Your point is valid, but how do you feel telling your wife today I fingered Alice, and guess what she was up to ?

Like the protection metaphor there, glove would be great for TLS finger!

Finally. The last couple generations didn’t really have a revolutionary movement in their youth, and it shows.

Honestly, I think at some point we will need something similar to WEI to ensure we’re interacting with other humans in a hostile AI internet.

Oh pretty please, if we revive this protocol, can we please pick a better name? Like, any name? Literally anything else, that doesn’t evoke weirdly sexual imagery?

Vue-Router and Pinia have always been optional add-ons for Vue too, however, yet the Vue ecosystem seemed to to fine without those "aaakshually“ kinds of people that feel the need to micro-manage other people’s speech.

If anything, composition API has taken the good parts from React. Once you get the hang of it, it’s amazing. Everything clicks together, is easily composable, and fully typed-safe.

It’s a more beautiful car from the outside for sure, but whatever is that abomination of a glossy user interface nightmare? Looks like straight from the early 2000‘s

Thank you for the recommendation! I'm definitely aware of many initiatives into that direction, but I'm still curious when it'll invariably arrive as a real discipline not in computer science, but humanities.

At some point, we'll probably have a new field in history for digital archeology , and I'm really envious for those future historians! They'll be getting to sleuth around old datasets, trying to reconstruct the history of co

Being stuck on versions of PHP published >= 8 years ago isn't a valid excuse anymore, with AI and static analysis tools available IMHO. And even if you really don't identify using CVE-ridden, unsupported, ancient software to ha

Maybe that’s because a site last updated 8 years ago is utterly irrelevant for, like, anything?

Why not just use a proper code editor with inlay hints, inline documentation, and autocompletion instead? These things are a non-issue, unless you’re working with Notepad++ or something.

The wrapper div is making me a bit sad. These days, using grid layout, you don’t actually need it in most cases

I think considering yourself as a consciousness inhabiting a body, maybe in a way similar to the aliens in The War of the Worlds , is a false premise. Consciousness is one control system, but there are many, and your mind relies not just o
