I usually also bring up these arguments, but there’s also one more possibility: she actually likes pink. Like, I like pink too, and pretty sure I’m not a girl. The problem isn’t that some girls pick pink, it’s that the pink is chosen for th

Exactly: "Male and female brains showed few differences in connectivity up to the age of 13, but became more differentiated in 14- to 17-year-olds.” Which can be hormonal, can be cultural, can be both.

You might want to consider a different brand. Never had that problem, not even heard of it, and I'm from a not-circumcised country.

Yes. That's how I know, but nice job of being an example.

Actually, you can't really fix the 'feel' problem, because the 'feeling' is mostly imaginary. The problem with condoms is part education, part laziness and part men actually wanting women to have more kids.

For that to work well enough, we’d need an indentation engine that doesn’t depend on manually entered whitespace — tabs aren’t enough, because you don’t always know how many tabs you’ll need. And that just won’t work at all for certain lang

If you’re a teenager then yes. Otherwise, it’s an ad persona towards an expected legitimate complaint: „hey, maybe a lot of work actually isn’t CPU-bound?” Seriously, if you can’t discern between solution for CPU-bound and IO-bound problems

It’s Ted Dziuba, a minor network celebrity and generally annoying dude with sensible technology competence and otherwise usual libertarian blabbing tendencies, including „get a life” style comments as evidenced in the post (if you tell peop

Actually, we do have quite a lot of people pointing out both that and the war effort, both counted in "schools" and "manned Mars missions". Not in this discussion, but that's probably related to the fact that India

I’m not discussing that — things one could be done on the US DoD budgets are pretty much unimaginable. The only thing I wanted to provide is that there are, actually, useful, measurably beneficial things one could do for „just” 72 megadolla

It’s a common realization of the idea that modern governments are somehow monolithic, and that NSA can somehow offer a preferential IP treatment in exchange for privacy breaches. Considering that (despite similarities) conservatives and dem

I’m actually considering moving a bit further from Amsterdam, because the amount of time I spend on the train is just a tiny bit too short for reading. Added bonus: I’d live next to the sea! (but I also willingly increase the commute time b

Labor unions, to replace the alternative, which was no weekend at all. Just like the 8h day. The numbers didn’t come from nothing, but certainly didn’t come from any great calculation. It came from how much we (the workers) could wrestle aw

That’s not about what this article is about, at all. It’s about thinking that „get shit done” is somehow enough, not that being goal-oriented is bad. It’s about thinking that screaming that term around is somehow a valid management techniqu

The article is awkwardly formulated, but gets clear later on: the attack happens over a USB flash drive, but air gap doesn’t remove communications from the infected machine until you remove the mike/speakers.

Juniper VPN is evil, broken, uses Java, and extremely common. And that's just one example of a common Java plugin.

The cost wouldn't be that bad, the unemployment isn't that high, the taxes for upper incomes are high (as they should be), and the guaranteed income isn't really that high either. Unemployment is 3%, workforce is 4.9 million,

Not for any kind of generous reasons, but probably to avoid problems with consumer organizations, but I recall most packaging mentioning "small amount". Might be an European thing, though.

Actually, I recently tried to verify the claims about horrible consequences of SLS from anything other than semi-conspiracy-theory sites. I might have missed something, but what I've found was boiled down to it being pretty much a non-

Because this is the kind of minimalism only quite rich people can afford. I once met a girl, who said "when I travel, I only need my hang-glider. Everything else I can buy when I'm there". It was a refreshingly honest express

Ah yes. Let's all stay positive. It's not like anyone ever died from not wanting to criticize something, right? Only, things ranging from people going on doomed escapades and startups, via mountaineering accidents up to and includ

Exactly. Build on a staging system. Take a server (or a couple of them) out of LB, put new, already built stuff in. Put in back into LB, rinse, repeat until you have the new stuff everywhere. Don't actually build anything on a produc

I have little social skills, anxiety etc. I can't afford to be an asshole, in fact, it's quite risky for me to take a stand even when I think I should. Someone who is consistently a jerk to others and yet has a good job is unlik

For vitamin D, sure, but not for other psychology-related issues. The problem with office workers not getting enough sunlight is very real, though, especially in winter months.
