It's from the Department of Defense litigation release a few months back. Have a look here: http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/Reading_Room/Other/ Most of these are anthropology reports commissioned by the

> Once you start looking for confirmation bias you see it everywhere. Hah. I can't tell if you are joking, because it's true.

Hah. I would guess that this made its way here because someone posted one on ShaderToy recently. See: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XtKGDD

Grrr. If you adjust for population of course the top places in the list will be dominated by small populations who've had a particularly bad time recently.

When I can, I try to just not have a computer at home for this reason. I have an e reader and a shitty cellphone that can is hard enough to use that I don't waste much time with it. The trick is trying to find things that you can only

Huh... approaching this from the opposite side, when my boss has suggestions I always take it as an opportunity to let them feel some ownership of the work, even on occasions where the suggestions don't turn out to be that useful in pr

That's dodging the issue though... the issue was that relentless is apparently masculine. What if they say the same thing about dauntless? I don't think relentless has to be as mindless as you say. Someone who gets in the zone and

Relentlessness and fearlessness are inherently masculine words? So if I want to find candidates with the qualities of relentlessness and fearlessness, I need gender neutral synonyms for these now... Bloomberg I think this is getting out of

> Depression is an illness Well, not really. Depression is a "disorder". You can be more biologically predisposed to depression, but that isn't the same thing.

How can you not affiliate with any god and not be an athiest? Surely (not athiest) => theist => (believes in a god) => (has a religion)

I understand the feeling of needing to "catch up" to fit in. For the first three years after I started programming I kept my work almost completely private, I felt so far behind. I wrote several hundred projects that I never showe

It irks me when I hear that argument too. People get offended by the idea that "if you find first year COSC courses difficult, then programming is probably not for you" - but in my experience that's completely how it turns ou

Right, there will be a correlation, but that's not the point. The point is that class as a concept exists very much outside of race. You can easily read the essay pretending that everybody in the US who isn't white simply doesn&#x

> That's precisely the problem with race in America: race is a decent first-order approximation of class, with all the bad that entails. Not really. I mean in my state (WA), 48% of people below the poverty line are white, 18% are hi

Winners and losers from my perspective: - Linux CLI beats Windows CLI - hopefully I can go the rest of my life without learning to use Powershell or cmd.exe. If anything this cements rather than undermines my preference to use Linux on embe

That cave and beach is by my house in New Zealand. Was super confusing when I saw it on someone elses computer as well and realized the photo wasn't one of mine

It goes both ways though. I feel pretty terrible about finishing my government sponsored education in New Zealand then ditching for better prospects here in the US. Where the size of the tech sector is limited by the number of engineers, ev
