The article is indeed uncharitable. Nowhere does the article mention the fact that there are exercises AND that you can explore the website and the different resources in the way you like. You don't even need to watch videos if you don

I think it's just a perception thing. I don't see emptying the dishwasher as part of the task that is filling it. My last task of the day is normally turning the dishwasher on and to me my task list feels finished. In some sense t

Have you seen the Krazam fantasy FAANGball sketch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIZt9YPAPZo It's funny, but with the AI hires/moves it feels more like satire now.

I'm someone who really enjoys the process of learning, and struggling, even when it doesn't immediately get me things. This sometimes pays off, but it also means I'm often slower at the start (which can be bad for jobs). One

A similar but not as strong decline. Taking the one but last datapoint for both (stackoverflow/tex respectively): 4436 and 394. If you compare this to how it looked like between 2015-2020 you get (my guess from scanning): 160,000 and 1

I don't think this a fair interpretation of the parent comment as it's not about ownership of language. The website literally says "The next generation of ANTLR" and says "It's the successor of ANTLR4". It

They really wouldn't. Even people who BOUGHT VR, are barely using it. Giving everyone free VR headsets won't make people suddenly spend a lot of time in VR-land without there actually being applications that are useful to most peo

The UK should not be included in here. There is no official national system for keeping track of citizens and municipalities barely cooperate. This means you have to keep proving your address for things like an opening a bank account. This

I think this is a good point. I found the following sentences of the article shocking: > I am frequently asked for my PowerPoint slides, which basically function for me as lecture notes. It is unimaginable to me that I would have ever a

There are good devices for only music / audiobooks, but they're often aimed at younger kids. For example Yoto players ( https://yotoplay.com/ ) or Toniebox (haven't used this one). Basically screenless, except

Not really. Google tries to recognise it when you re-upload the same game using a different dev account, and will actually ban you for this.

I get maybe 50 or so tomato plants in about 1 square meter in my garden, just from the seeds that are left in the ground from last year's tomatoes. (Of course I don't let all 50 grow and instead give most away.)

I don't think that's a fair analogy. One forces 99% of websites to make a change, while the other is something that would need to be done by the big companies doing the scraping. A Do Not Track flag being legally binding would for

FYI: YouTube Kids does have ads, although a lot less so than YouTube. It also mainly shows an ad at the start, and often only after one episode (for me at least).

The UK government has done this various times in the last couple of years to argue against (high) pay rises for the National Health Service and other government institutions. One of the more recent articles: https://www.reuters.c

You would assume wrong in the case of the UK. "Extreme pornography" is already illegal, even when staged, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_63_of_the_Criminal_Jus... .

Stadia also failed as a technical solution on various of the boring bits. Stadia did not even support the new Chromecast for at least half a year, so you were expected to get the older Chromecast Ultra until then. I was employed at Google a

One of the worst things is that the great online course for SICP (6.001 iCampus) is now also retired, and MIT is not willing to recover it. I remember seeing a message that their server crashed and they were not able/willing to recover

Maybe if you live in the US (and quite a few other countries), but if you live in the UK, you can get a prison sentence just for not disclosing your encryption keys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#Unit

This might depend on where you are. If you're from the UK, the only way of getting this diagnosed within any reasonable time frame is a lactation consultant. Most NHS staff is not trained to diagnose tongue tie, which is not surprising

Sure, I don't disagree and it's silly/illegal when it happens, but this doesn't mean you can't protect yourself (sometimes without much more effort) to prevent damage or even just more effort. I think most people ha

I think an email from support is more like "confirmation that they checked whether the car has seen me". I'm not sure how successfully you've dealt with support with companies, but I have almost never been able to rely o

I got hit by a car in a situation similar to this. They made eye contact (I thought), were slowing down, and still hit me anyway by accelerating, despite me having the right of way on a bike. Turns out it was the first time they used the ca

Thanks for linking this, I loved this video. I'm surprised it's relatively unpopular compared to the rest of the channel, but I suppose that supports her point...

Checking your plumbing and drainage? What do you mean? What would you do weekly that involves this? Lawn maintenance is maybe one or two hours a week at most, and that is mainly because we like to keep it pretty tidy. Then again, we would h

Sure, there's a chemical reaction at play, but I think it's a strong assumption that they can't taste the vinegar. Sure the garlic now tastes different, but vinegar is also a strong taste that plenty of people, including me,

Echoing the other comment about bias, it seems like a strong personal preference of yours, but it's unclear whether this is actually a good indicator of a strong fit or not. Like @kstenerud, I tend to keep the default settings as I am
