It’s an innate human desire to do everything in one’s power to save the person you love. If you had a feeling you could do more, would you not try? When you’re not personally involved, it’s easy to see that this might be misguided, but when

Exactly how I feel about this. As a European living in the US this reads “American discovers sitting down with a cup of coffee instead of taking it outside”.

I’ve been asking this question for a while since I love Rails but I don’t like Ruby that much. I think only Django comes close, although I haven’t tried it, but I dislike Python much more than Ruby. There are always attempts in every langu

Yup. All of this sounds eerily familiar. Well, if you’re ever in Arizona, let’s grab a coffee and talk about the old country.

This is what I miss the most. I moved to the US 12 years ago, also from Croatia, and while I have friends here, the lifestyle there is just conducive to spending time hanging out with people. It's really like a different reality. Coffe

Sure but that’s all in the future. All of the selling points of this device are in future tense. The “model” does not seem to exist, but it’s being “worked on”. Their client app was taken apart and there is nothing interesting there. Their

Can't find the interview now, but I remember watching it and yes they specifically said that because it is an AI, rather than just an automation script, it is intelligent and will not be thrown off by site redesigns or CAPTCHAs (they h

well yeah but the previous whistleblower committed suicide after literally telling his family "If anything happens to me it's not suicide". A month later another whistleblower who was in good health dies suddenly and unexpect

Lords of midnight and its sequel Doomdark’s revenge. I still think its one of the best strategy games ever made and it was released 40 years ago on the ZX Spectrum. You can get the modern version for free at https://www.icemark.c

Thanks for this. It looks like a great read. As an immigrant I was always mildly annoyed by this idea. Like, yes, my language has a ton of words for all possible familial relationships, for example different words for maternal and paternal

You’re right but also keep in mind that company policies are often made without much thought. I can totally see a BigCorp making a policy that no AI clients are to be installed on their machines, regardless if the functionality is turned of

It’s quite different. The incident with the door heavily implies a problem of airplane design. It makes sense to ground it. What we knew at the time of the first crash of max 8 seemed to imply a pilot error. It wasn’t statistically signific

I think "in a row" is the important part of that sentence. A single crash of a 737 Max 8 is not an outlier, but two crashes in a row of the same model of an airplane definitely is.

Ooof...I'm not honestly. I don't do Rails that much these days but when I do it's just crazy how productive I can be. I think it's still a great fit for a huge number of web applications. If performance is very important

It's not, at least not from my experience, but you have to be vocal about what you want. I was offered a managerial position multiple times and declined it every time saying that it would be a loss for both myself and the company. I&#x

Well it wants to be like Rails so the Python equivalent is probably Django

I think pretty much all Spring games support that. Zero-K and BAR both do anyway. Both strategic zoom and real time “streaming” building came from Total Annihilation and Spring games are TA based.

oh fair enough. Didn't know the timing of that, so I thought it was connected.

> In a sense, a person is given too much freedom on Sundays and this lack of control can produce anxiety. I feel this in a very specific way. It's not that I don't have anything to do, it's that there are so many options.

Creator of the Rust language Graydon Hoare is working on Swift, so it’s probably the other way around

oh wow haven't seen this in a long time. I played Battle Isle 2 like crazy back in the day. None of the sequels manage to get me hooked though.

Indeed I haven't, thanks for sharing. Wow a computer developed in Nis. Never thought I'd read about that.

Wow! I can’t believe I never heard of this. Despite being born in Yugoslavia and alive at that time, I’ve never encountered or heard of Galaksija in my life. Sinclair stuff was pretty common: Spectrum and the older zx80, Commodore, even Ami

Similar experience here, and from your name we’re either neighbors or from the same country originally. People from our region usually have some idealized fantasy about western countries. After I moved to the US I was shocked to find out th

Oh yeah that’s a good one. Both Zeus and Jupiter are cognates of Dyus Pter (Sky Father) of old Indo European mythology. They just took different parts of that name.

Its so interesting. If you follow dōgaz one more step you get to Proto-Indi-European dheg: (to burn). Origin of Latin “dies” is also from PIE but a different word: dyews: (sky, heaven). Interesting Latin dies (day) and deus (deity) are very
