The Greeks and Romans were doing it long before Alexander, as were all the cultures of the Mediterranean and Ancient Near East as far back as history allows. Egyptians were borrowing Levantine gods early in the Bronze Age, and ancient Akkad

I'm always surprised on here when I see others admin to liking C and Perl. It makes me feel less alone.

"Orient" does not have anything to do with the top of the map. It refers to the rising of the sun ("oriens" in Latin means "rising", from orior , and "occidens" means "setting" when referri

This is a bit of a strawman. The authors, if you read the article carefully, are not saying either of what you're attributing to them.

I still don't see a point in switching from Sublime to VS Code. If I need to SSH in to my server, I have options there. But Sublime does everything I need it to do and it does it faster and cleaner and just better than the alternativ

The other option is jailing those who direct companies to break laws. It works for criminal organizations, why doesn't it work for companies?

> But they don’t. Google and others do vet ads, but when they don’t host them, the ads can change based on who is looking (clean ads for Google! Not for you!). That sounds like a problem that Google should have already solved. Maybe that

The better thing would be to hold Google directly accountable for every malicious ad they allow through their network. If they cannot do that, they should not be in business selling ads then. Yes, that means amending the law (in the US). Bu

To do the best they can do within the confines of what's politically acceptable. There's an intersection near me that is just horrendous, but the engineer I talked to, who is now retired, said it was his mentor's task to fix

I've spoken with traffic engineers before, and the consensus I've gotten is that, excusing a few bad apples, much of the problems originate with popular or political interference.

Yes, no disagreement there. Some things would have been more commonly said or just common knowledge, but I only wanted to push back on the idea that Shakespeare's writing was just how people talked back then.

Ah, so it was topical!

If it didn't originate with the show, Law & Order (the original run) has the line: "You could get a ham sandwich indicted" was said to Jack McCoy in one episode. I think I remember it coming up again in another episode.

I disagree. Shakespeare was not "plain" even in the 16/17th century. It wasn't archaic, but it was far, far from plain. The same is true for a lot of great literary works, even recent ones. Many great works have a lofty

I've made no argument at all. I'm asking a question to a person who made the claim that "Microsoft acquiring GitHub is not a valid root cause analysis."

According to that graph, performance drops widely after Microsoft's acquisition before AI enters the scene. If not Microsoft, how else do you explain it, or is the graph somehow misleading?

You find it odd I don't need additional sources for the link that comes sourced and has been in the news for the past few years? I find it "weird" you don't need citations at all.

Same. I welcome correction, but I need evidence first. I'm not saying there wasn't something silly going on, but the commenter made it seem like the Canadian government did the opposite of DOGE to the same degree rather than just

Most people come in for educational or career guidance, but I think it's best used as a way of understanding how your mind works, especially in relation to others'. The on-the-flying reasoning isn't pitted against good memory

You might benefit from (proper, not the multiple choice kind) aptitude testing.

I work in psychometric testing, and it really isn't that strange. Just as many people need that music or communication as those who cannot have it. It's quite fascinating how different brains are on these ostensibly random traits.

Thanks for the clarification.

At a company I worked for, we used them for off-site storage, and when we finally went looking for alternatives, we realized we were being charged thousands of dollars a year more than competitors. We no longer have a contract with Iron Mou

Also, my bet is that Iron Mountain significantly raised their prices and made it more difficult to retrieve the data without paying.

by cwnyth 1mo ago
Iron Mountain is actually an incredibly expensive option, and their agreements are predatory. I would not recommend them.

This is where efficiency can be applied in two distinct ways. On the one hand, if using more beans means you can solve the problem more quickly, then it is more efficient to the problem solver to do so. But if beans are scarce, and that&#x2
