We don't avoid saying the name of ISIS, or Al-Qaeda, or the provisional IRA or any number of other terrorist groups. We don't avoid naming Stalin or Hitler just in case another one comes along. It's not cynical to realise wil

According to his manifesto he expected this wouldn't make him famous, and used the example that very few people can remember the names of the 9/11 hijackers. What he wanted - again according to the manifesto - is exactly what he&#

We've passed that sci-fi trope where corporations now wield more authority than governments. I have a better relationship with corporations more than governments. A corporation has never harassed me at an airport when trying to leave

I don't know how you managed to turn a story about a gun massacre in New Zealand - a country with strict gun control laws - into a critique of Americas loose gun control laws.

It comes from China, was developed in the republican era. It's based on a shorthand modification of seal script - though Japan was very influential on the elite of China at that time so it's possible Katakana played some role. ht

I'm simply not interested in where laptops are going. I'm a healthy adult male, so a few hundred grams of weight is not an issue. I also find thin laptops very uncomfortable to use in certain positions where you balance it against

If that were my service, I'd be pretty embarrassed by the number of unhappy users who have commented on the blog posts about cancellation[1] and refunds[2]. Doesn't seem like a good look. And if my business was turning over $115

In 2019, it all looks terribly misogynistic. No losing your house, no alimony... maybe they were on to something. Let wives also be able to sell their husbands and bring it back!

The biggest impediment for me would be finding clients. IME most programmers dont meet a lot plant potential clients when they are maintaining internal software. Even if they work for a consulting company, you can't use them due to res

To deal with traffic you almost have to 'give up' on the notion of doing something quickly and resign to the reality of it, which is what happens if you have to deal with it daily. That's the only way to treat driving IMO.

If the "UX collective" thinks that site is what user experience should be, then I think it's time for a military coup. It's really hard to read.

They can't stop being European - because Britain is in Europe. It's a bit like saying Japan doesn't want to be Asian.

Bundling + dev servers are place a heavy load. I'm actually looking into a way I can avoid using bundling for production but still get some kind of "hot javascript file reload" in the browser.

That argument goes both ways. If your family was impacted by violence, corruption, and poverty wouldn't you pack up and look for a better life? Absolutely, and I would never deny it.

You're right. It's also because we live in 1st world conditions, and once your basic needs are met, we strive to address the higher ones, like fulfillment and meaning. I live in the first world, in a city of about 100,000. Accor

I happen to think that immigration and customs enforcement is a net positive. I guarantee those people would be as well if they were effected by it personally. If you're not personally doing the kind of jobs an illegal immigrant can

Buying a home isn't universally difficult across the entire country. This article wasn't about housing in the US, it was about housing in the UK. I believe the US is one of the few OECD countries where housing is actually afford

Under your model people would just end up building huge gated-communities anyway - it would all be private property, so wouldn't violate any of your laws. People will find a way to keep people they don't want near by away from the
