Hmmm. And I wonder who bought all that NVDA today and what's suddenly so compelling about the price. Certainly couldn't be someone in government trying to pin the NDX100 index.

Cowardly acquiescence to any political ideology is disgraceful, and that's exactly what this was.

They could have expressed themselves in a way that aligns with your sensibilities, but they exercised their freedom of expression. I personally found that additional detail to be very valuable, because it conveyed disdain without triggerin

Ironically, I just spent a day last weekend writing my own version control system for large files I dislike git-annex that much. - it converts your files into blobs and bloats your file system - As others have previously alluded, my primary

That's right. All demographic groups commit crime at more or less an equal rate. Just those who are discriminated against get caught more often.

Yeah, maybe read the article. Maybe see pictures of the subject of the article. Then tell me that symbology connects to a collective movement for exploited migrants.

What did my post say? Did it reference "this symbology" OR did it reference "Chicano culture" in the following statement: "Everyone knows (including the Vietnamese barber) the deep, inextricable connection this symb

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Surfingkeys https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys . I switched over from Vimium a couple years ago. I think its more performant than Vimium and also allows you quite a bit more

If I don't do anything about this, I am the problem. Government is us. Our responsibility to design, implement, and hold accountable. Talking about what happened isn't enough. Carlos Jaile lost his entire adult life because of sys

In the US we must stop referring to drug addicts as "homeless" when they have been turned away from public or temporary housing because they have elected to do drugs instead. It's obvious that this creates a misleading percep

I wish this would document the auth headers. What would be particularly useful is if it saved token values and then (through search) joined them on the response of the auth call to get the initial token. That way you could easily determine

This does not appear to be new or novel technology, aside from the fact that the neurons-on-chip are housed in a portable incubator. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w41gH6x_30

Challenge: Let's see if anyone with a username linked to their true identity can figure out a way to speak honestly about this without tanking their career.

What are your skills and what kind of roles have you been applying to? Your experience has been quite different from mine. Laid off 3 weeks ago, 4 offers at slightly below what I was previously making. I'm a fullstack engineer.

Great name, TLD has zero impact from my perspective. I wouldn't fret about packaging - leave that to those who buy overpriced lattes because of the branding.

I hope he doesn't. Asking that question is the equivalent of walking up to someone and begging for money. I encourage developers here and elsewhere to reward each other for the fruits of their labor, instead of expecting a free lunch.

It's not anger. It's jealousy. The same jealousy that's called "opinionated" in software development, but really means "Doing things differently than how I do them threatens me, because my sense of superiority

The credibility bias that flows from local judicial systems to local law enforcement needs systematic measurement, analysis, and mitigation.

So having bias necessarily makes one's argument untrue?

And the downvote is just so petty. You guys need to downvote someone that you disagree with to exercise your little power play. Pathetic.

But the article is actually addressing ocean access. No. Actually the article is talking about beach access via traversing private property. There are 3.7 million square miles of land in the US, but only 88k miles of coastline.

On what rationale can you decree that all lands in need of conservation should be held by the "public"? Certainly you must have some evidence , then, that private entities are necessarily less capable of and effective at conservi

Is opening all beaches to the public really in the best interest of...the public? Should no natural spaces be private? We allow other parcels of land to be private in name name of conservation, why should a beach be any different? Why can N

This is what happens when parents indulge far-fetched academic haziness because they don't have the strength to confront the obvious: their kid is depressed and lacking the social skills to cope with life. Give that 33 year old a beaut

Take a commercial flight where you have a chance to look down on the rainforest in Brazil or Peru. You'll be absolutely astonished and sickened at how much is already gone.
