While I disagree with solitary confinement I also disagree with a murderer reinventing himself as some sort of guru and getting a diversity department job at MIT This man talks about the stigma of being a felon as being unfair when he took

This article has some issues. The author states that apple's best ARM chip is comparable to one in a "top of the line" imac. This is utterly false. They also state that the A13 trounces every other ARM chip by 2x yet uses a c

You're missing three part where Kallinske was trying to make a deal with Silicon Graphics for the hardware that Nintendo ended up buying for the n64. This would have been a much better outcome. Sega Japan shut it down simply because Ka

This is true, but tape lasts much much longer. I know people have issues with floppies, but I wonder if that is more to do with dirty floppy drives that need to be cleaned, and the fact that it's harder to use tape for digital storage

CDs already get disc rot, sometimes just after a few years if they are cheap. Don't forget, CDs have been out since 82, and they were not the first optical disc format around, either. Tapes however, can last 50+ years. It's a much

Agreed, but it's incredibly naive to assume they are not. Google's product is it's users, and it's a known fact they manipulate results based on what they want you to think or what they think you want to see. They are c

Mixing the two is very useful. I typically make headers and footers with flex, build home page grids with grid, and then use flex to space out content in the cells. No more floats, no more percent widths, no more weird nth child tweaks for

I've stopped caring about people on ie or some super outdated browser version. None of my projects have an audience that includes 90 years olds using ie6 on windows xp. I assume my users are on some chrome derivative that is fairly up

Decriminalization means that the lowest misdemeanor is replaced by a civil citation or confiscation. You might still have to pay a fine like a traffic ticket, but it's not a criminal charge or an arrest. It's also still illegal to

Because he wasn't? Bismark united Germany by waging wars against Austria, Denmark, and France. Once he gained the territory he wanted, he was careful not to punish these nations. He could have pulled a Napolean and taken over all of Eu

They do. Thinkpads are made out of magnesium and are super durable. Build quality is pretty great. Should be more reliable than a mac. Mac build quality really isn't all that great. Lots of glue and plastic hinges. Motherboard design i

I don't know if you've noticed but Intel chips have hardly improved over the years. They've been content with die shrinks for since sandy bridge. And even then, they've had to turn off the speculative hacks because of sp

Just because you can do something does not make acceptable to all people. What you are talking about is essentially moral relativism. Most people see that as dubious. Just because one entity sees something as right does not make it objectiv

Python is much easier to learn and most devs already know it. It fosters quick and simple code that is super easy to maintain, and python/django is a huge and accessible ecosystem. I don't need to learn a new language I won't

I doubt this is going anywhere. As a PC gamer I have no need for this, don't want to deal with lag, and don't trust Google to operate the platform in a consumer friendly way. Look at how angry people are at epic right now. Taking

It's not satire nor a real experiment. There is no evidence to take from this. The box the cheese was placed in was a variable as well, so there's no conclusions to take here.

I can't take this person seriously. They are conflating a historical piece with something that endorses its mild at worst content. Apparently trying to tell a story within the context of it's time is "misogynistic" and &

Patent trolling has been around well before trump came into office. Id argue the two have very little to do with each other. It's not like America just went bad suddenly when trump got elected. We've had issues like this for a ver

I think it's coming sooner rather than later. Obviously arm has the upper hand here but windows is still exclusive to qualcomm. The interesting bit here is that from what I've heard, RISC V could be twice as efficient as ARM. Coup

You're right. For how nice it is, OLED is really a stopgap tech. The reason samsung never invested in OLED tvs is due to cost and poor longevity. MicroLED is the same concept as OLED but without the degradation. OLED was simply easier

The user is saying as an authority the state has nothing to fear in terms of ruining its reputation. There is no implicit argument that additional forms of authority are necessary. In other words, never assume someone is implying something

I disagree. I can often tell the difference between CD audio and 320 or v0 mp3s. I can also notice compression on files with a lower bitrate than 320 or v0. You can really notice the difference on the high end and the width of the soundstag

Tapes can last for 50 years. They are the MOST stable and reliable form of storage we have. We have also not even reached any kind of limit on density. Sony has tapes that hold hundreds of terabytes. So, they last forever, are extremely rel
