Check out House of Leaves. Some sections have text in every orientation possible. A engrossing and difficult, but rewarding, read. I now want to read it again.

And it's weird that people see it as gatekeeping, since there's plenty of other professions out there that artificially restrict supply, and no one raises a sthink about them. People do about software because we work online and ar

That's how they used to do it in universities back in the 80s/90s. Start out with the hard stuff first in Intro to Computer Science. By the end of the course, you'd go from 400 people to about 50. Wish they'd still do th

When OS X came out 20 years ago, it was the star of the show. Nowadays it's just an annoyance that Apple has to keep around. The quality has demonstrably fallen, and the internal struggles it's had within Apple have already been d

Yup. Instead of having multiple echo chambers on one centralized network, let's now have multiple echo chambers on a decentralized service where it's even harder to hear opposing viewpoints! The sad reality is that humanity is not

Yup, check out Cole Robinson who apparently has helped numerous people beat cancer with it (in addition to rapid weight loss). He's rough around the edges with his training techniques, but he knows how to motivate and gets results out

Blame the banks for dragging their feet and not making proper APIs for these companies to use instead of screen scraping.

Stop saying it was a coup. A bunch of mostly unarmed morons weren't overtaking anything.

Matt Taibbi talks about all this in his book Hate Inc. The 24/7 news networks needed new stuff to sell since the USSR was out. Turns out just general outrage at every little thing works good.

You wouldn't be saying this if it was BLM protestors doing the exact same thing.

HN desiring more authoritarian rule simply because it was the other side. I think the election fraud accusations are completely bogus, but holy shit, do you people listen to yourselves??

Very well said. It's stuff like this that makes me think all CS majors need some sort of business communications requirement, something to at least give a foundation on how to speak to decision makers.

Didn't Photoshop release a feature in the past couple years that does exactly this? Simulated depth of field? And I remember watching the demo video and it looked damn good. Plus there's that Lytro camera that also allows you to m

How is a bunch of unarmed people a coup? Yeah, storming the Capitol is a little concerning, but nothing's going to happen. The people that run that side are sheltered urban liberals and don't have the slightest clue as to what it
