These are criticisms that are leveraged against stack overflow all the time. I'm more lenient on SO's stance because it at least wants (or claims to) to be a repository for truth, rather then filtering out questions because of &qu

While this looks fun and beautiful, what disappoints me is that it seems like almost entirely symmetrical gameplay. A large part of the universe and themes of Dune is differing cultures in a way that I don't think can be authentically

I use oolimo ( https://www.oolimo.com/guitarchords/analyze ) for this as it gives you the notes, intervals, and chord names on the fly with easy inversions

What makes you say that? People against Boris's policies are not to be conflated with anti-maskers. We are currently the worst performing nation per capita.

For a long time, Reddit moderators did not have the tools to do this. Regardless, whenever bad-faith argumentation is removed, the person whose comment was removed paints the event as censorship which just backs up their conspiracy argument

It's a pretty interesting approach to the website and there's some features I never would have discovered on my own, but the author's reasoning seems pretty poor. The premise being that multi-line stretches of underlined text

That hierarchical structures became dominant after the invention of agriculture does not imply that agriculture necessitates hierarchical structures. > And even if it was acceptable to most people, it would take only a small minority opt

If a population does not tend to follow expert advice and a politician is incentivized by an upcoming election, it seems more of a negative incentive for them to act according to rationality

This is really neat - useful and beautiful. My only minor concern is that thicker/thinner is ambiguous and my first thought would be that they carry out the heavier/lighter functionality. Perhaps denser/sparser would have bee

I've been working on something similar for the past couple of days, but the trouble comes with wanting static types. There are a few projects out there that offer either a microdata parser, or types derived from schema.org but nothing

This is one of the bigger leftist critiques of UBI - instead of enacting meaningful change to the system, gifting the people just enough money to keep them docile and prevent upsetting the ruling class and, like you said, weaponising for fu

I think the image is not meant to show the problem but show a case where if the Cyrillic A had been stylised the same way that the English A is in the English version, the two distinct letters would become indistinguishable such that the Cy

Does that really matter though? A difference of 2px for something temporary doesn't seem like much concern. While I understand the implication is that these can accumulate and cause larger layout issues, the purpose of this practice is

For anyone interested in the inner workings of Doom[1], I can't recommend Fabien Sanglard's blog enough. He also released a book on Wolfenstein 3D which goes into tremendous detail on the code, company, and hardware of the time. [

Insufficiently carrying out CRB/DBS checks, and selectively reporting only less-serious crimes are anti-people? Framing Uber as disrupting taxi services for the good of people is incredibly dishonest

by GrantSolar 9y ago
Is there really that much more nuance? Uber received a complaint of sexual assault by a driver. The victim was under the impression that Uber would contact the police. Uber did not contact the police and continued to employ the driver. Uber

In addition to this, the comment you're replying to comes across as dismissive of the issue on the basis of it being common elsewhere. In other words, "TfL are not justified in taking punitive measures against Uber for deliberatel

I personally wouldn't go as far with that claim, but young girls are certainly discouraged from pursuing STEM careers either actively or unintentionally (representation/role models, toys etc.) [1] http://www.ibtimes.com
