This part is what I don’t like. I _dont_ want my social identities linked together. Maybe I’m the odd one, but I’m constantly making new reddit accounts. I always just generate a random username and a random password, that I don’t store bec

So why isn’t it done? I think it’s not controversial to say that the trackpads (or “trackpad experience”) on MB*s are just plain superior than anything Windows has access to.

You are severely mistaken. Window tinting is legal in AZ (resident) and a quick search tells me TX as well. Maybe you’re thinking of the black out style tinting that you see in movies but most people tint to filter out like 5-20% light.

I’m sorry you lost your friend, but you didn’t make a mistake. You did what you could, what you thought was right. It’s not your fault that you didn’t have hindsight, and it’s not your fault that you didn’t or couldn’t know what your friend

Some other things from my personal experience: - don’t offer help and suggestions and advice I hate and hated it when my friends would ask if I tried meditating, or say maybe start running, hit a gym, etc. Yes those things all make sense, a

When I was recently going through a bad time (clinically depressed) I started withdraw myself from my social life. I started talking and opening up to my friends Less and lesse, because I didn’t want to bring them down with my problems. I s

Right, so when you buy things from Amazon you have several options: 1. Items sold by Amazon. 2. Items sold by 3rd parties and fulfilled by Amazon. 3. Items sold by 3rd parties and shipped by 3rd parties. The problem is that items in their f

I thought I’d share this here to spread more attention to the practices of FlightSimLabs, a flight simulator software shop. The short version is that they included an executable in their installer that when run would extract passwords saved

For some reason, the ads I’m seeing on Instagram are creepily relevant for me. I just checked and literally it just shows me advertisements for furniture (I like design…) and plants (I like plants…). I’ve actually bought a plant related thi

I’ve never used IRC before, so I’m honestly curious, what features does IRC have that Slack(/Discord) don’t or can’t have through extensions like bots and plugins?

I’m a researcher and I also think reddit and upvotes/karma is trash. Why should I use your service?

Good that thing national laboratories and research in general don’t have to show profitability then. Because otherwise we’d get nothing done and funded due to the likes of people like you.

That’s a silly take. I’ve hidden friends before who I have close relationships with, simply because the content they post is trash: - reshares of “inspirational” and “motivational” memes - post frequency too high - constantly posting pictur

I think this highlights how out of touch you (and the Facebook developers) are. I’ve had a Facebook account since the days of needing a edu email account to register. During my college years Facebook was a very important thing and all of my

It’s Sarajevo and this blog post is about the only thing I can find on this with quick google searches, and you said it yourself that you’re not a lawyer, so I really think you’re just misunderstanding something and are making a big deal ou

There is actually a term used in the field by engineers and scientists: "delta v." You might have heard Musk mention it a few times in his talks. It's a measure of change in velocity (hence the delta… v…, and in mathematical

I tried reading your 27 page long essay but got bored a couple pages in and then skimmed the rest. After that I looked at the examples in the repository. My only question is: why? Seriously, what problem are you trying to solve here? Your 2
