This is the equivalent of a guy building a "car" in his backyard with old used parts, then saying it was only 1% of the cost of a new Mercedes, and everybody thinks now that Mercedes is 100x overpriced. Also the "calculation&

No, please WATCH IT! It's important to learn how reality really is. This is the process of using 100% of available information. You have been trained to block, censor and avoid everything that doesnt do good on you, but it's extre

I agree to your logic, but scanning social media gives a totally different view: People feel like they need to take action now. The murder of the ukranian girl set a social fire, and the killing of charlie kirk put gasoline over it. You can

Sidefact: Bigger corps work around this by building holding structures etc, which is a legal soft-tax-evasion way to do this. But all the smaller businesses get hit hard, so as usual the party is paid by the lower end of the income bracket.

Why is git even in development? It's exactly the same like 15 years ago, right? ... right?

This page was last updated in 2015, 9 years ago, and ALOT has happened in image compression and on the web in these 9 years. And the samples are just so totally weird, they are not representative for anything.

Yes, Kyiv, Ukraine (lived there for family reasons). Air strikes are very common, mostly during night. I live and work in 11th floor (self employed, mostly full remote), which is not a good choice, as it's the drone flight level height

brilliant comment! also, the average population doesnt know better, as they dont have a reason/possibility to compare, so they think THIS is the best possible solution.

German here. The example with the Kebap owner is -probably- not like it seems, because there are usually two ways how it works: 1. these kind of stores are technically owned and legally run by somebody who just made the paperwork and gave t

Can confirm, have some ideas: Apple uses different file formats "internally" and also different resolutions, maybe saving them all in parallel as "one" video, which might cause this issue. So the total space per image is

Yes! In my bubble, we just need "code snapshots" or versioning, but not for the whole repo, more for each function / file. It's surprisingly hard to get juniors into git, there are so many crazy situations all the time.

Yes! Printer LEDs have been used for espionage (like visual morse code), and firmware has been hacked to store copies, there is a documentary about this somewhere on the web (havent found it yet). Brilliant ideas!

Wow, here in Germany this concern was always called a "right wing conspiracy theory" by literally every mainstream media outlet. Headlines like "Is Trump afraid of dancing teens?" were quite popular (even when it was cle

Totally agree! Humans are not made to have 20+ conversations going on at the same time, especially while doing actual work. Just stop it, radically, and open Slack only two times daily: in the morning for like 20mins, and in the end of the

This is by far the most professional and awesome post here! Love the way you handle your business and your craft, you Sir/Madame are a true maker. Every detail of this short message is useful, on-point and clear af. This is on a whole

Excellent comment! Same here, we are digital messies / hoarders. It's gets worse with OCD, as the feeling of having unread items gives me brain cancer.

Radically a) reduce AND b) organize these things. Take two weeks off (or similar), and stop EVERYTHING that comes in automatically from coming in automatically, but instead move feeds to bookmarks, so you can read these things IF YOU WANT.

You have misunderstand what's happening here! This post was #1 on Hackernews, as the article tried to play with common triggers (which somehow worked quite well), letting people believe they are reading about a massive case of sexism -

because intention defines how to judge an action. if somebody moves a knife into your body, then it can be a violent attack or a medical procedure. if you devide boys and girls into groups then it can be seen as sexism or a as a mindful act

You are totally misunderstanding how this works. Accounts are closed because somebody files a complaint, usually somebody capable of the language and with a serious interest in taking down somebody. In Germany this is usually done by politi

Yes! Facebook is not really a "US company", for each country they operate in they have to deal with the local laws, and they have lots of office and crews in each country, simply to comply to local issues. Facebook is reacting to
