"The road not taken" is one of my favourites. It gives a very interesting alternative way to think about science and technological progress. And the ending gives such an amazing feeling... The only drawback is that as a non-native

I got sick in march with covid-like symptoms but could not get tested. I have also experienced being out of breath when climbing stairs or walking. I also started to worry and attribute other symptoms like headache to this, but then realize

I'm French and moved to Japan last year. Every time I see a news about my country, it is for bad things, and that makes me sad. But I made the right choice. There were many reasons for this. The most notable thing in my experience of m

This is a very loaded and racist term against wasps, shame on you! EDIT: It is a joke (just saying because there is a lot of angry people here)

This is completely wrong. I still remember when my Windows 95/98 computer took 10~15 minutes to boot, when launching everything from Word to a game took minutes of waiting, when installing a game from a CD could take one hour or when l

I just spent 5 minutes upvoting every grayed-out comment that had at least substantial content in this page. Even the ones I disagree with. I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend your right to say it

Thanks for your answer. If the concern is about threads, why not at least allow deletion of comments that does not have answers? I think in many cases instead of deleting, it would be nice to anonymize a comment, so it does not show the use

I am also upset and concerned that I cannot remove the posts I want. Having to send to someone the content you don't want people to know anymore is wrong and a huge psychological barrier.

I mostly don't mind (like 99% of redesign these days, it is pointless), but the new one makes many things harder to read: - I don't know which menu or tab is selected (the tiny border is not obvious enough) - The buttons don'

So I am not an expert in this field, and actually I only have a vague idea in what a transformer does, but is there a reason to believe this would not be repairable? We are not talking about a usual bomb, so most of the materials and infras

Next steps following this logic: - Stop using the word "communism" because it may offend ex-USSR citizens - Stop using the word "famine" because it may remind bad memories to some africans - Stop using negative words to

This is getting ridiculous and annoying. When I hear about slavery, I think about the poor people that did not have any freedom, not about black people. There have been african slaves in africa, asian slaves in asia, european slaves in euro

No, they have to pay your full salary for the whole time. So to enforce a 18 month non-compete agreement they have to compensate you with 18 months of salary.

Wow, I did not expect so much aggressivity. Sorry if I hit some sensible point, but my question certainly did not aim to imply any kind of judgement. I am not american and never heard about a "black college" before. Are those word

I understand that you are trying to be constructive, but I'm quite surprised by your use of "black high school" and "black colleges". Is it still a thing in the US? Wouldn't focusing on fixing this situation be

My experience is that most of the time, randomly failing tests are actually failing because they were made to be random. Sure, adding Faker to your test/mock data may help you to find rare edge cases. The problem is that those edge cas

This is so true. When I learned to write (French) when I was a child, the teacher also gave us strict guidelines to the order and shape of the characters. I don't see any difference except that in my country, most people stop caring ab

It seems to me that this is mostly a design problem. Why would you need to check this data everywhere? Checking the validity of the data is only necessary once. In a web context, this is the responsibility of the controller. Only once the d

> it's harder to make a function retain state later. I do not agree with this kind of argument. If you need to transform the function into an object later, you can just do it later. Even in a huge codebase it does not take much time

For long I had the same problem with Japanese language files being shown as binary in the GitHub diffs, and it is solved by having something like this in the .gitattributes file *.php diff Overall I am amazed that everything shows

I live in Tokyo and I think the biggest factor is the individual sense of responsibility. From the beginning (and it gradually started far before the emergency declaration), most people and organizations recognized their role and responsibi

This is very much interesting and exciting, but all I see in this article is arguments from authorities. I fail to see any facts or demonstratable proofs. How is that theory different than any other religious belief?

I don't know why people says that RSS is dead... It is very much alive. I am still using it for everything. Just because it stagnated and is not as popular as social networks does not mean it is dead.

I actually wish we had more advanced features in HTML itself. There are still many cases today where you only need JS to load something on click or for a simple datepicker. If some basic things like <input type="date"> and t

I actually read `March 2018` at first. This is not as scary as the story of Mr Mehran Karimi Nasseri (guy who spent 18 years stuck in an airport). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM4ZpJOAY4k

Interesting tool. I am using hnrss.org to get posts in my aggregator and did not have to complain so far. That is probably because I filter the posts by points, so I only get the most popular ones. Sure, I may be missing a few posts I would

The other side is that sometimes you answer the PM to actually go in a bike shop, but the company does not have the budget. Sometimes you know that they ask a bike but will change the specifications later, so you try to prevent the mess. Tr

I tried exactly the same thing and then left frustrated. This seems to be exclusively optimized on mobile devices, and is not even properly responsive. A progressive web app should be usable both as an app and in a browser. This is not the
