Sigh... really? This is reddit-level "Yakov Smirnoff" of rebuttals. But I'm going to break it down for you anyway and operate on the shared assumption of good faith since you may have genuinely misconstrued my intent. I couch

Yeah I see your point, it's unfortunate there is not an automated pre-interview system (like GPT meets Eliza) that could flag these people such that actual women aren't exposed to their toxicity.

I don't know... I feel like putting her into that position exposed her to a lot of negative energy that she may not have necessarily received in the first place. If I personally was the brunt of all that crap, it would definitely get t

I'm not trying to invalidate this woman's experiences, because if they are genuinely true as written down, then that is some seriously toxic misogynistic shit, but some of the quotes from the male interviewees sound like they coul

I mean... this sounds like the exact job that "git blame" is made for. Does your company not have some kind of version control?

While that might be true, from an outsiders perspective looking at things like: the anti-immigration agenda, the death penalty, and the almost willful refusal by a large minority to wear masks (to name a few) - you can see how somebody migh

Reminds me of that W.C. Fields quote — 'I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally. '

He specifically refuted the claim that it was "pedophilia and gore"; your response, while raising valid criticisms, has nothing to do with those two things.

Attribution is irrelevant if you're lifting them wholesale - and you're really stretching the definition of "fair use" since you're not obtaining consent from the actual content creators.

I had the same experience moving from visual studio 2017 to visual studio 2019. I tried disabling every possible IntelliSense related feature and there was always a small but perceptible amount of input latency that drove me crazy. Eventual

Most composers were musicians before that and a lot of instruments adhere to scales such as fretted instruments or percussive instruments like the piano. Using scales gives people a familiar territory in which to compose music and a western

Good stuff, but since it seems like there is a lot of pedantic responses to this post I'm going to chip in myself and say that most traditional gospel renditions of amazing Grace also make use of the supertonic. In the key of C that wo

This didn't really feel like an explanation or an answer as to why you believe sex work is not "real work". What exactly are the characteristics of real work? Once you've defined those qualities it'll be easier for

I understand what you're saying wrt to rtf versus text but I completely disagree and I say this as somebody who used to have all of my notes in thousands of plain text files. I've never felt like rich text editor's have gotte

This comment is absurd and contradictory, if the software is supposed to be the equivalent of "grabbing a scrap of paper and scratching something down" then at bare minimum it needs to support images since you can draw pictures on

I read the Wikipedia entry for it but it didn't really shed a lot of light on these types of questions: 1. Can I embed images and more specifically can I embed animated GIF files? 2. Can I embed MP3s and play them within the note? 3. D

Anything which is Reddit level of quality in terms of contributing value. For example, low hanging puns that add no actual substantial information.

Your hangups about not reading two books at once and being contractually obligated to finish a book are interesting but I'm not sure that they're culturally normative, I've certainly never felt this way about books. Our time

Without divulging details, a riffle force has zero risk and can be easily mastered in a day. The exact mechanics of a force are the point of the post. Also given your handle, I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not.

I'm saying this somewhat in jest, but this would give disproportionate political influence to families with larger quantities of children. And don't sit here and tell me with a straight face that children will make up their minds

Regular glasses also "cover your eyes", you are aware that AR uses transparent lenses right? They augment the world around you, they don't take away from it.

This is one of those ideas that seems nice in theory but in practice would just lead to so many subtle problems especially if it happened automatically. Lots of programs create temporary files by changing the extension temporarily but if th

Heh, I can speak rudimentary Italian, so I used to do the same thing when I was studying Chinese. Percentage of people I knew in Taiwan who could speak English: 40% Percentage of people I knew in Taiwan who could speak Italian : 0%

You can actually hide the falling notes and switch to sheet only in Synthesia, this was a much requested feature update made years ago.

Anecdotal, but I lived in Taiwan for several years and never met anyone who was even remotely pro-CCP.

I would argue that if you consider your personal project to be a form of work, then something is wrong. If the principal reason that you're working on your own personal projects is to be able to pad out your resume, then I agree with y

"almost exclusively played by mostly white (and some Asian) men, often on the spectrum ." you have the demographic data to back that up? I'd hate to accuse you of talking out of your ass.

I think wit is in the eye of the beholder as well. For the record, wit is typically defined as a form of verbal humor, so it's not really the same thing as situational comedy. And this might also be a case of one's expectations.

Yeah I hear what you're saying. However, I still don't think it would be considered genocide in the conventional sense because the woman is not being compelled to have an abortion, it is an individual choice. Even if the percentag

This weirdly reminded me of how Michael Bluth fails to realize his girlfriend Rita has a learning disability because of her aristocratic sounding British accent in the show Arrested Development.
