Name me a case where it was crucial to advancing serious and healthy scientific discourse by comparing one of the researchers a molester. Why would that ever be necessary?

It’s a good use case and the one that got me started. I also have a raspberry pi acting as an exit node in my home which is useful when I’m at the coffee shop or in a hotel. Not just terminals — I have done videoconferencing via that exit n

I used to have the similar service on a 2016 Volvo station wagon. But the radio module in that car is 3G, and because carriers have been discontinuing 3G Volvo cannot provide their service to my car. There was roughly 12 months when it was

We're serving git over https using apache2, where apache handles authentication via LDAP. We also serve subversion repos with a similar setup. We use separate web services for search, code review, CI, and issue tracking. Running this w

“Being able to look someone in the eye instead of their navel” is a crude caricature of introversion. It’s exactly the sort of misconception that causes people to assume introversion is a negative trait.

For me it’s rarely software obsolescence that prompts the upgrade. My 2014 MacBook and iPhone 6 were retired due to the battery…

“Since you know the tech intimately, you’ve probably got a solid deployment strategy that you can easily repeat and debug.” That’s not necessarily the case though. Just as easily I can imagine the opposite might be true.

I say hi to people on San Francisco, but I don’t get discouraged if some don’t respond. There are all sorts of people with wildly divergent circumstances. I’m not or rushing to reach a conclusion about others (or about the overall fate of t

With the recent tax law changes, though, I believe a majority of people end up taking the standard deduction because they can’t come up with enough itemized deductions to exceed that. The inability to fully deduct state taxes is a big one,

Strawman argument. Who is saying the goal is “zero deaths at all costs”? I see governors seriously weighing the costs and risks, and talking about the response when (not if) reopening leads to new flare-ups. Whitmer: “As we start to very s

No surprises there. Just yesterday, I saw someone comment online that a particular opinion article was poorly researched and written like an amateur. Where the author has a Pulitzer and a Gerald Loeb Award with decades in the business at ma

Yeah, but the problem is those api responses are only 95% accurate... — TARS : [as Cooper repairs him] Settings. General settings. Security settings. TARS : Honesty, new setting: ninety-five percent. TARS : Confirmed. Additional settings.

I'd assume what makes alternate ports rare is the fact that the entire implementation is in elisp. So any alternate implementation has to start by finding (or implementing) a parser with good compatibility and maintainability.

The ridiculous part is that the law existed prior to his acquiring the property. He could have (and arguably he should have) known his obligations ahead of time. Even if he didn’t understand the California law, at the very least he could ha

I would say the fallacy is the author's assertion that studios don't know about realtime techniques, or that they aren't already applying motion capture and GPU renderers internally.

I deal with that by keeping the separate logical commits, like you said, and I squash only the commits that don't add any historical meaning (like "fix a typo" or "forgot to update the changelog"). I put the issue n

Git tracks the committer and the author separately: you should see the “who merged” preserved as the committer and the “who wrote it” as the author. If each commit notes the issue number in its comment (“Add indentation and trailing white s

Well, look at the home page for Atom. It describes itself as "a text editor that's modern, approachable, yet hackable to the core." They then call out features like cross platform editing, a package manager, smart autocomplet
