But OP asked for content not about AI. If you have content not about AI, wouldn't that be more helpful and to the point of the request? We're drowning in AI slop and slop about AI, someone asked for a bit of reprieve, and you repl

God. "Freedom of speech" and "free of abuse?" Sounds like a nightmare! Liberals!! Where are the spaces anymore to be outlandishly an asshole and shut other people down?! :-|

I have trouble caring about what someone says about typography when they've chosen abnormally excessive letterspacing which makes reading awkward and effortful.

I think the gotchas aren't for the early adopters and power users. It's for the people who will eventually make up the larger, more lucrative percentage of their user base starting with the friends and family of early adopters who

Users do. I spent a whole summer A/B testing an app's landing page to get 10+% more conversions. Over 50 experiments, the biggest win was having a hero image. Its actual content didn't matter as long as it was a photo and fea

While I agree with "not wanting separatism," I find it infuriating that the burden of analyzing and debating "separatism" (or etc) always gets foisted on the minority or marginalized populations create a space for themse

The author literally gives an individual reason why about half the books should be read by everyone and the other half by many based on their interests. What are your objections?

Not original commenter, but some examples of Android's superior UI/UX: - "Back" action is consistent and not in a different spot in each app. - Notifications are more actionable, organized, and clear. - Actions tend to b

Fwiw, "rape x" is exactly what I read your email as before I read the other comment saying the same.

Yes to Colemak! Easier transition from Qwerty, more efficient ergonomics, most common shortcuts are the same or similarly positioned! I switched about 14 years ago and so happy I did.

You'd rather an ad-network, or you just expect people to share, give, and benefit you for free, or...is there another option? Kudos to the author for providing value and getting compensated.

The U.S. (and others') military may be, by definition, a resource that isn't inherently good or bad. But the military is most certainly good or bad in actuality (i.e. the real world) according to many peoples' definition. I c

I'd say by any definition of "We can at least all agree on a definition" that I'd accept, we can either all agree on the definition of both or neither. If both, we're discussing this in a context that prefers practi

Why can't I navigate the world without running across hideous, overly sexualized imagery of women at irrelevant, random times?

Neat contribution! You guessed one thing, someone else guessed another, but they were wrong, and you were right! Yay on @pavlov. Boo on them.

I slept on a hammock for years indoors slung between two huge hooks I screwed into my walls. It took a couple weeks before I fully adjusted. One nice thing is that when I went camping or on a three month bike trip, I had my every-night bed

"Reddit is a links aggregator" feels pretty inaccurate. Some subreddits, especially the big and lowest common denominator ones may be mostly link sharing, but most of the ones I'm on are communities sharing questions, opinion

Immediately obvious it's probably a pun but as a native English speaker, I can't tell if it's: - a blog author saying they personally can't support the sale, calling out icann who presumably sold it - icann just approved

Um, yes. A toxic environment is toxic. Whether someone who isn't as threatened by the toxicity "bucks up" and lets it roll off their back or even participates or not. It's still toxic. E.g. don't tell me "racis

Ya. As someone who plays acoustic piano, guitar, ukulele, and ocarina...using MIDI 1.0 to connect my electronic gear hasn't created any latency that's noticeable to me. Sure if you're sending things to and back through a DAW

Just out of curiosity, where does your experience with "non-STEM university and grad settings" come from that you are judging and contrasting it so harshly with STEM? Seems like you've been in higher level STEM settings and y

Huh. Is it just me? I couldn't make it through more than a screen of this post because of the author's ego that seemed to be spilling out the sides of their mouth. I didn't "read to the end" like admonished, so not
