Multiple cursors in Sublime Text. Made it incredibly easy to do repetitive edits to json data or html templates. VS Code does a better job of cursor management now, but I think that was inspired by sublime text. Language and date time servi

Sex is the only thing that matters. Views on sexuality are the highest our morals go right now, the test of how much you care about the world all comes down to what you believe people should do with their penises and vaginas. Obama kickstar

The problem with cancel culture is much the same as the problem I'm having with my QA department: We have a very small, rock solid front end. Most of our work is simply updating content. It's very straightforward work and you have

This is a market inefficiency. These companies could be reselling the video cards without doing the extra work of putting together a full PC and everyone would be better off - you don’t have to resell parts as “used”, the company doesn’t ha

This analogy doesn't work because information is not a limited commodity. Once you've "printed" the news, its value drops to 0. This isn't the old days where you had to physically print 1,000,000 papers if you wante

Empires fall from within. Yes, nobody will stop the US with military, and nobody would try because that's not how you win. You don't need a big military to crush the fragile supply chain that a plane like this demands.

I work for an enterprise company. The motherboard on one of my staff's macbooks died during the lockdown and it needed to be repaired. Do you know what the Enterprise IT told us to do? "Take it to the Apple store". Are you fu

I pursued something similar. The challenge you may face is that the act of regular inspections, maintaining the RFID tags, and paying for the service may cost more than doing a poor job of grease maintenance. The alternative is just simply

People here will criticize this, but then turn around and put the same information through Binance or other crypto exchanges.

Between NASA, SpaceX, and various other space initiatives, there probably aren’t enough skilled people available to do the work. It’s literally rocket science.

Ok, and if my company's marketing team proposed an ad with a bunch of white people in it, they would also be cut off. Same shit, different process.

And you don't think the CCP's promotion of Han is the same thing?

We do the same thing in the west. Look at the people you see in ads and on TV, it's always an idealized look at what the people in power WANT society to look like. My company recently moved away from animated characters back to using h

Citadel did more trades in one day than the entire market did in one year. Retail investors do a couple of trades a year. A tax like this would end high frequency trading overnight.

The cultures with a long history of psychedelic practice are just as bad for spiritualist bullshit as this new age culture. Actually, most of the bullshit these New Spiritualists spout is taken directly from these cultures; chakras, spirits

I did my fair share of psychedelics a few years ago. The community is very diverse and spans a lot of different backgrounds. One thing I repeatedly saw was those with weaker minds getting sucked into the "oneness spirituality psychic-p

They're using light to heat the bottom of a thin material. Bottom of material heats up, heats up the air underneath the material, hot air expands and makes it float. Controlling the strength of the light controls how much heat the disc

Honestly, no. A one-off event around a really stressful time (forcing unionization on a small company) is not indicative of a toxic workplace. It's a bad look for management, but I don't think that means the workplace is toxic.

Because there isn't workplace discrimination, it's just a bunch of people acting "concerned" and being ignored. What is the actual issue, aside from being "concerned"?

Was it toxic? Or did one person feel it was toxic? From what I can tell, the union pleas are being ignored. That doesn't make a toxic workplace. It's unfortunate , but it's not toxic. My management ignored my pleas not to

Exactly. It’s just a complaint about “the culture”. What exactly happened to make them dislike “the culture”?

So Bitcoin is a weight in addition to all the banking weight? We’re running two banking systems right now. It’s inefficient and stupid.

I’m not sure I would characterize his angry word vomit as “smart” or “intellectually honest”. He’s a male Ann Coulter; a loudmouth who loves to stir up controversy.

Facebook would finally be valuable again if all of the content farm news garbage was kicked off. Unfortunately, the people who like that stuff also buy stuff from online ads. It’s the same reason why TLC and The History Channel now only sho

I am rewatching Star Was and it amazes me how interoperable their technology is. R2-D2 can just hook into the Death Star and begin reading data. There's even a funny scene where C3PO tells him to hook in to a port, only for R2 to be el
