They won't give a shit about your political opinions as long as it's one of those in the linked gallery of corporate-friendly pre-approved ones. Anything right of center and suddenly people start caring very much.

There’s also the problem with both most tattoos and all the stickers in the article that there’s nothing left that’s counter-cultural about them, which defeats the entire purpose of doing something edgy as a statement.

I got rid of all mine after getting disillusioned with every one of the causes they represented.

Why does the next guy hate Citizens United? I’m not American, so this is the first time I’m hearing about them. I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC and it seems to me like a plain reading of the

I call it the Newgrounds animation effect. Digital-to-digital always looked a bit unserious to me. I’m sure many young people feel the exact opposite.

Are people who understand relational databases and people who understand pivot tables disjoint sets? I can look at someone’s finished pivot table and reproduce it from the data through other means, but any explanation of what a pivot table

This reminds me of the great tragedy of not exposing the Nokia SmartMessage extension to end users. It could have given a new lease of life to grassroots low resolution 1 bit art in the 90s and early 00s in the form of operator logos. Inste

From the video and what I've read at folklore.org it sounds more like what Agile purports to be, writing software in a tight iteration loop, trying things, getting feedback and adapting to the changing needs of the project. I think whe

Does that really make the site insecure, though? What’s the scenario, someone has launched an elaborate ARP cache attack in order to MITM a website about roads on Hawaii in order to get you mildly lost so that you have to pull over and look

I don’t think the article made any claims about iron or heavy metals. At least nothing comes up when I search for either.

Flagging is one thing, but I assume that there is a human in the loop before a user is put in the dead state.

Flagged and dead? Are we to take that as Y-Combinator officially endorsing violent rioting and property destruction?

Isn't this a problem of allocating and freeing resources being generally non-deterministic, regardless of what algorithm is used?

To work at sea it would rather need a way to manually enter an offset, since customarily the local time on board is entirely at the discretion of the master.

In order to be able to work on anything at all on the side, how do you propose solving the "it leaves me feeling drained at the end of the day" problem?

I still can't wrap my head around how the conventional wisdom in the industry to work around that problem is to add even more slow network I/O dependencies.

This reminds me of a rail trip I’ve always wanted to take: Western Europe to Singapore, which may not be as geopolitically interesting, but may be the longest possible continuous rail journey. When I first had the idea there was still a gap

That’s what killed my suspension of disbelief watching Idiocracy. Most of the automation would have broken down in less than a day.

I once made a DGG without knowing that it was called a DGG so I could look up how to actually do it in the literature. I ended up making it an icosahedron and recursively subdividing each face into four new ones by inscribing a new triangle

You don’t think we could do it with human computers? As long as the algorithmic complexity of food logistics is O(n) or better with respect to population size, I guess.

It’s possible that I misread it, since I don’t understand the accusation of anti-intellectualism. Isn’t it rather pro-intellectual to found universities like that of Bologna in 1088 and pour massive amounts of resources into research to ens

This happens on an organizational scale as well. Once a company grows beyond a certain point it no longer needs to keep a razor focus on the core business, and a disproportionate amount of effort gets redirected to creating sometimes useful

Couldn’t it be argued that this is a bug in Kubernetes? Most of what it does is run programs with various cgroups and namespaces, which is what systemd does, so should it really be any more resource intensive?

The medicine in question comes from the very scientific establishment that grew out of scholasticism, which is why I find the accusation of anti-intellectualism rather strange. My point is that you have to distinguish between arguing agains
