IME, Safari lags horribly compared to Firefox WITH extensions. OSX just does not seem to provide intelligent ways to deal with memory management at the framework level. Not sure where the memory leaks are coming from, but on my 2013 iMac so

I also work in tech, I just don’t discuss anything remotely controversial IRL because it will end up offending someone. Recently, I made the mistake to actually speak what was really on my mind (when I was drunk) and I ended up getting phys

I came up with this name when I was bored and surfing random articles on Wikipedia.

The problem is you are considered Anti-Semitic if you criticize the government of Israel. So you cannot even talk about it in public, or it will ruin your reputation and career. Edit: The karma of my comment proves my point.

The mediocrity comes from the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality. Overprotecting your kids feeds into that mentality as well. If everyone gets a trophy, why should you try harder than anyone else?

It’s unsurprising because Disney itself is a simulacrum. "The Disneyland imaginary is neither true or false: it is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate in reverse the fiction of the real. Whence the debility, the infantil

> Uh, for the same reasons they would do so on any other platform? Wrong. Windows is a closed source, proprietary platform. One would develop OSS for an OSS operating system.

My understanding is that truly racist people don’t even acknowledge or mention races they despise. It’s a bit different if your grandfather (or parents for that matter) refuse to ever see you again because you’re dating someone from a race

As an aside, Newsweek’s UX is pure garbage. Please give me more ads per page. No wonder the media is dying.

Not sure how that conclusion isn’t obvious or self-evident. Obviously, if you have a high quality school with motivated students, chances are their achievement will be an order of magnitude higher than students at a poor quality school. The

That’s a false equivalency. The parent said that you won’t be put on a no-fly list for being morbidly obese. That’s not the same as the airline not being able to accommodate you because of your extreme body size.

It’s not surprising. The stereotypical American is obese and not too intelligent when it comes to dealing with that problem. See the whole “fat shaming” movement for a prime example of this.

What an odd thing for a bank to do, police how someone uses a memo line in a check. At least you got your revenge on them.

In what way? Do you accept the premise that certain precise design elements, organized in a precise manner, are patentable?

> Edit: also, you really can’t get the same euphoria from THC. Similar, sure, but not the same — THC doesn’t build life destroying addiction though, so definitely recommend instead! I can see that. THC feels like a “cleaner” mental eupho

What a nightmarish reality to live in. You can’t trust your own parents, friends, neighbors, etc.

I took Hydrocodone recreationally once, as I had some leftovers from my ribcage injury. Aside from enhanced dreams and occasional hypnogogia, I still didn’t really see the appeal. You can achieve the same euphoria with THC (IIRC, OPRM1 gene

Snap seems to be in full desperation mode. I understand the value of moonshots, but this isn’t like Google X. This is just plain ridiculous.

That’s the problem when most laypersons (including many in tech) talk about AI. It adds noise to what machine learning actually is today, and makes it hard to argue about the ethics of it when most people don’t know how to frame the problem

You’re being far too charitable. There are instances of state actors hiring armies of shills that purposefully derail any criticism of their country. Not saying that’s the case here on HN, or in this particular thread. But it is still somet

That’s not really as effective though. Sometimes you need to be an asshole to get your point across. Civility will make you look like a weakling and you will be continually passed on promotions.

I think it’s certainly possible that it brought you out of your depressive state. LSD-25 will show you certain truths within yourself and your subconscious; these truths can be negative or positive in nature. It took me months to fully inte
