I assume the apologies for calling skeptics racists will be going out shortly.

I've had this happen enough I don't use git blame. Only once have I looked at something and thought, "cool solution, I would never have thought of that", but apparently I did.

No, it's forced adoption. You have a houseful of 5.25" and need a new computer and have no options now. That's hardly innovative.

Non computer people were discovering the internet at the same time.

Maybe the writer just couldn't spell camouflage and had to improvise.

Did theverge just survey employees or did they seek out employees telling the story they wanted? I'm not denying any of the accusations, but I'm skeptical any journalism is going on here.

Chris Fix's videos are a wonderful. High signal to noise with a very pleasant presentation. They are mostly car repair, maintenance, and modification. No real theme, just whatever he happens to be doing and find interesting. My 11 ye

See one, do one, teach one is the mantra in medicine. In the military it was common to hear, "you don't know something until you can teach a class on it." So there was an expectation that everyone should be able to pass on t

Having grown up through the changes to many sports, it feels like the answer is that we only reached a modern approach in the 90's for a lot of sports. People will cry "steroids", but it's way deeper than that. Weight w

Go hits that niche of "read from a queue/endpoint, write to a queue/endpoint", and there is an awful lot of that going on. It's just practical for getting (some kinds of) work done. > I don't really see wha

Same side. The frog can be modelled as a torus for purposes of this beetle's navigation.

Topologically, the beetle was never inside the frog.

In a discussion around worker's comp claims it would be about the chiropractor's who make all their money from worker's comp claims and accident settlements. Every person who walks in that door will need unending treatment a

Don't think of it as anything that guy is saying, because he's full of shit. Let's start with his example of the officers telling the non-rates (e=3 and below) what to do. That's already generally unrealistic. Officce

You clearly don't know anything about the military. If you treat your subordinates like that, you can kiss your career good-bye. >Anyone can make a team be productive when you can overwork people, if things don't get done you

> homeschooling can leave a big social gap. I've been around and tutored way too many homeschoolers to give this a pass. If by "gap" you mean they behave in a more adult fashion, sure. There is a gap between the independ

I find exactly this attitude to be annoying about writers. They may write well on a subject but that doesn't mean they know anything. Much the same way pilots complain about doctors who get into flying -- the doctor might be the most

Where are the ugly singers? Music is represented my a disproportionately high number of hot women (and less so men) with no room for others. There is obviously a standard other than musical quality in play. Today, it's mostly true th

There are valid reasons not to post code or blog. True for some. Posted code or a blog may demonstrate knowledge and capability in the subject area for the potential hire. Also true for some. Demonstrating professional skills shouldn'

My son qualified for $100 a year in federal loans. To my dismay, he actually took that loan. I had to have a conversation with him that it is better to just pay the $100 and not have the possibility of missing payments, getting interest

We're in a situation where agencies are advocating for the elimination of rights of the populace. How is that in their purview? Given the current law, an executive agency should be defending the rights of the people, not advocating to

It was 17 pages of mail with SSN, all my tax info, accounts, etc... Even if it were sent to someone scamming me (and I know it was sent to the IRS), I would have been sending back less info than they sent me. The mail I was sent does match

That's really interesting. I've never been able to see anything like this on their site before. Also interesting is my account balance is currently $0, and I know that's not true even if they 100% believe the last mailing de

It could completely suck and still be incredibly useful if they would just tell me what 1099's (or other) they have on me. They're going to eventually if I don't file it appropriately. For instance, I just received some mail

When using that, it's not talking about self defense. The government has a monopoly on the use of violence in the sense that if you owe them money or some other obligation, they may go through paperwork, collections, all the normal re

They love to tell this story. It's absolutely laughable how limited scholarships are for actual academic performance.
