Author chose a brand based on loyalty instead of doing research. Leverage the web indeed - Google Search would have quickly revealed Electrolux is mediocre. Plus, the manufacturer can't run a simple website to look up serial numbers, s

I've never used Perl and I am not confused. It's just an eyeroll-inducing referential joke, and ironically a perfect example of OP's point. See also: $BIGCORP, Day_Job, etc They could have just said "the most important l

Not everyone "misses" the point. People can take what they want and choose to discard the rest. Consider, for example, watching beach volleyball not for the thrill of the sport but to ogle the players. That they're also engag

Not very upbeat actually. The episode drops several reminders that the simulated people can't die, by accident or choice. After they tire of life, they are trapped in an eternity of boredom and madness.

You fundamentally misunderstand the concepts. The other poster is correct. Given two orbits, it takes just as much energy to get "up" as it does to get "down".

Any additional capability will be quickly filled with bloat, especially in the video game industry, where optimization is for post-release. Expect a lot of creatively bankrupt tech demos with eye-watering hardware requirements.

Satisfying the desire for retribution has to be one of the system's goals, otherwise people would take matters into their own hands. However, you are correct that it shouldn't be the main goal, or even a major one.

Ruby, and Rails in particular, has a lackluster dev experience with any editor that isn't RubyMine. That's been a huge obstacle for me personally.

The extent to which an individual or group has "rights" is defined by its ability to remove value. This can come in the form of physical violence, economic boycott, legal attacks, social ostracism, etc. Women, minorities, the p

Not sure what kind of maniac would "consume" porn openly at school. In contrast, I doubt most kids will have any such misgivings about social media, especially if not enforced.

I wish more people had the ability to daily-drive an iOS device and an Android, to more clearly see the positives and negatives of both. Having long ago switched to iOS as my primary, I am continually infuriated by some of the awful UX de

Like your son, I was once a teen in a CS program. I was "good at computers" and my parents expected me to go, but I had no direction, no interest in the courses, and no hobbies outside of video game modding, which I pursued relent

Do this if you hate your child and just want them gone, but keep in mind it's a great way to permanently destroy your relationship.

Thank you for providing this context. It sounds like everyone involved - Amazon, the DOJ, the supposed victim - all have deep pockets and are deeply unethical. It turns the original sob story into a different kind of rage bait.

I'm pretty sure DeviantArt stopped being about actual "art" long before AI. Years ago I deleted my account because I didn't want to see my posts next to furry scribbles, softcore porn, and other low-skill fetish adjacen

Getting stuck is part of the game. It could take several sessions or it could take several years. It's what makes a climb truly hard, a "project". It's an essential part of the sport - the satisfaction of using one&#x27
