> Wokism of Discworld That comment also raised some eyebrows when I read it. Discworld is pretty "woke". The female dwarves are a bunch of LGBT analogues, a huge chunk of the watch series is about racism, Night Watch and Jingo

Yeah, the first two books especially were very clearly intended as "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but fantasy". They're a good read, but they're not quite what the series became

Honestly the amount of vitriolic comments has increased, and that seems to be more part of the problem than what you've presented here. Sure, most of them are still downvoted to shit, and it's not clear how many are trolls vs true

My country's subreddit had a pretty big chunk of the country reading it, and it feels like the courts section of a newspaper gets posted to it every day, which I wonder how much that contributes to people's perception of the crime

Assuming this refers neither to a missile program that existed in the 70s, nor a plan to build giant robots to combat superheroes, so got any details?

To be fair, that was followed by like 5-6 years being a thing that Conde Nast had probably forgotten they owned and going between making a loss and barely breaking even with a skeleton crew. Now it's got a very large team, all the inve

There's no information here in the title. What does the reboot look like? Where does the "with Reddit" come from? This is just a teaser and an invitation to sign up for marketing. I guess it got upvoted for the name Digg alon

What field do you work in that employers still accept paper resumes? It's all "fill out the form that goes into our ATS" since the early 2010s.

Right, but if you're doing a SPA, your SPA makes the login call and stores a copy of the session token in local storage, which unlike a cookie isn't automatically sent on any request, never mind cross-origin ones. Doesn't pre

I think you might have forgotten how immature the field of computer security, especially for network applications, was in the 90s/00s. This was the era of register_globals in PHP, CGI scripts written in C, HTTPS being some fancy luxury

The good news is that the Biden administration put most of the frozen Russia assets under European control, anticipating this kind of risk, but of course that doesn't mean Trump can't attempt to pressure Europe here.

I do wonder how much of it was really in their control. Firefox had its rise when Microsoft had basically slowed IE development to a crawl, which allowed them to build a lead of how much better they were than IE that no browser developer wo

Yeah, I'd say discord taking skype's lunch in the gaming market was something that happened "rapidly" and "in 2016". EDIT: Oh, this subthread is about slack. I do think Slack's permissions model is better
