It's beyond disgusting to me that the "News Bias meter" on the bottom of the article claims this is "unfairly" biased towards the left. Just because it doesn't reflect well towards your side doesn't mean i

I always got the impression that downdetector worked by logging the number of times they get a hit for a particular service and using that as a heuristic to determine if something is down. If so, that's brilliant.

The one true hybrid work model for tech (in my opinion anyway) is to just have everyone meet in-person in some cadence for sprint planning/PI planning/whatever your cycle is. Everybody syncs up every so often, and then you leave e

I've been more and more of the opinion that hobbies are what drive our sense of meaning and no so much work, but occasionally it's hard to remember that when you're dealing with the shittier aspects of work (for me recently,

I should clarify, the point is to not discriminate against a protected class.

It's common in fintech for data/ML models to go through similar overview. If you happen to disenfranchise a set of people because your model said not to lend to them, you risk legal jeopardy. To clarify, I think it's good tha

Maybe a total coincidence that I read this morbid news on South Korea while I've started watching Squid Game, but watching a show that's effectively an allegory of capitalist decline in South Korea makes this news not surprising.

One perk I've enjoyed with error verbosity is the ability to spit out different logs depending on where in the function you've failed. I'm not super familiar with the shortcut being described but if I could do something like:

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Actually though this is a fucking big brother atrocity of a policy that people will inevitably circumvent and the government will pick and choose when to enforce.

Comedy Central runs a Youtube series where comedians talk about their drug trips, and the DMT ones always seem INTENSE. It seems like if you take enough you basically check out of reality for a while, wondering if that's true/what

My parents will still try to pay for me sometimes, but my mom has venmo now so I can at least fire her whatever my costs were. For all the weird shit I put up with in my family, at least money doesn't really come up as an issue in that

It could be that you haven't added the domain they're served from onto your blacklist. A weird side story: I had a situation where an app on my Roku TV would crash if it failed to serve an add from a blocked domain (there were sev

Let the HK brain drain begin. If the US were to open their doors a little more to Hong Kong immigration you'd see a lot of those supposed "shortages" in science and tech disappear. Clearly China has no interest in maintaining
