The opinion that someone isn't worth listening to and choosing not to amplify their words is an opinion like any other. The whole cancel culture thing stems from people who believe that they don't just have freedom of speech, but

I mean, the thing that jumps to mind when you say that is that it seems like a myopic view of the issue. Deaths are not the only thing that hurt the economy. There is a lot of evidence of people who survive having long-term health problems

We have this incredibly long history of taking short term gain at the cost of long term loss that far outweighs it, and yet we continue to make the same mistakes time and time again. The countries that spent the most and locked down the har

Well, my intent was to highlight that there is a similarity: those deciding how (or if) this data should be collected wish to suppress it because they believe it would result in change when they are invested in the status-quo. Fundamentally

I'm not saying I agree with the argument necessarily, but your counter-argument here is obviously flawed: oppressed peoples can't speak their mind freely, and may not have the information to be able to understand their situation f

This is a very weird argument. No one is talking about the definition of the term, they are talking about the implementation as it exists in the US right now. This is like saying that just because the DPRK has "democratic" in the

A notable example is the way that gun violence data has been continuously and specifically suppressed by those who oppose gun control in the US (e.g: the Dickey Amendment, which had an extreme chilling effect on the CDC studying gun violenc

You complain about being downvoted, but your entire post is just calling the post "obviously and overt nonsense" and claiming it is a lie, without making any attempt to explain why. Not exactly a helpful post.

To add to that, one will very quickly find that RAID5 really isn't a good idea for big drives if one reads around. The reason being that for larger drives, resilvering can take so long that secondary failures become probable or—in bad

Firefox's tooling for CSS flexbox/grid has been much stronger than Chrome's for some time. I haven't noticed anything missing from the dev tools since they added proper websocket support a while back.

They told me I couldn't cancel in advance, I had to ring the month before I wanted the service cut, otherwise I'd cancel and it would end at the end of the month. When I rang during that month, they then told me I had to give a mo

It seems weird to expect them to jump directly to the nuclear option of quitting. Making a demand like this is a first step, and it may turn out not to be necessary to quit if the employer caves.

If I had to guess, I'd say Node is popular because the web has eaten the world, and if you already have a web app as the core of your development, it starts to make sense to make everything else just an extension of that, including you

Yeah, with the recent issues they had after doing the cryptocurrency stuff (which didn't really bother me, but it definitely seemed to generate some negative feelings in general), this feels like a poorly-timed move. Zoom is presumably

Looks to me like this is one of the google assistant suggestions. If you say "Let's go grab lunch", it'll show you "Find restaurants nearby." using Google maps, etc... If it is that, it's a local suggestio

Frankly, it reminds me a lot of XHTML vs HTML5. I buy all the arguments XHTML had, I like the vision it had for the internet. It also wasn't what actual end-users valued, and something that offered that won out because it provided more

Antichamber is a puzzle game that uses the same thing in a ton of extremely fun ways. I highly recommend it.

Unfortunately not, GitHub tokens are (outside of GitHub actions generated tokens) scoped for your entire account, which sucks. It should be an advantage though.
529.
by Latty 7y ago
What is really weird is this isn't quite correct, they do have scoped personal access tokens, you just can't make them. If you use GitHub actions, it generates a scoped PAT that only works for that repository for your actions to u

Language-wise, the existence of "sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight" speaks to a lack of tuples or simple records more than anything. Obviously a formatter can't change the language, but just want to point out that t

My first guess would be a lot of people use OBS for game streaming and a lot of games are Windows-only.

People buy 1USD of Paypal account value for 1USD all the time, do you say the same thing to them? I'm not saying I definitely think Dai is a good idea, but fundamentally the value isn't the only thing that matters. The ability to

I agree that programming languages are an interesting to view over that axis. I've done a fair amount with Elm, which is undoubtedly hugely opinionated, doing things like locking JavaScript interop behind a message passing system and b

by Latty 7y ago
It definitely depends on context. There are some cases where opinionated is just fundamentally better. I'd say that a good example of this is code formatting tools. These have been historically highly configurable, but that creates hug

Yeah, but way more people look for answers rather than ask them (not to mention the pain of having to answer the same question repeatedly if they can't find the answer). Accepting an answer is an attempt, but without the moderation, ed

I don't want to make the same comment repeatedly, but anyone saying this aims at SO is fundamentally misunderstanding why SO is successful and what it offers. SO is literally anti-discussion, the whole point is it is about questions an

In terms of displaying content, asking questions is a very different thing to discussion. If you've ever had to trawl through forum threads trying to find answers, it is a nightmare. StackOverflow is much more heavily moderated and cur

by Latty 7y ago
StackOverflow actively discourages "discussion"—it is for questions and answers. If anything, I'd say it overlaps more with issues than this.

As I also noted in a sibling comment, you don't even need JS to do that: https://jsfiddle.net/eaL153uz/

Even that won't totally save you. While you can't do exactly this, you can sure get the fun experience of the user getting text they didn't expect in the clipboard when copying without any JS at all. Text is highlighted on
