There's nothing immoral about what two consenting adults do in the bedroom.

It seems to be like people are being forced into STEM out of economic desperation lately, but the sentiment seems more like "how do we force more people into STEM".

The majority of the abolitionists seem to be approaching the issue in an entirely one-sided manner: prostitution is male customers and female prostitutes. It completely ignores that women can desire purely sexual encounters (which Tinder an

Yep, budget mismanagement and being underfunded are completely separate things. It's entirely possible that the "moron" woman interviewed believed that the budget was plenty, but being negligently mis-spent.

Blocking the JS is great and makes complete sense. It's like a slightly more open NoScript, in that it tries to analyze the JS first. The part I take issue with is that LibreJS adds a "Complaint" feature[1] that asks users to

Email makes a network request, just like AJAX, which makes it "non-trivial" by his definition.

NoScript I can easily understand. It's deciding for yourself what you do and don't want to run on your computer. LibreJS is trying to dictate that to all web developers, and its demands are ridiculous.

There are right and wrong ways to solve the web's many problems. RMS wants to throw the baby out with the bathwater here.

The linked treatise on JavaScript sounds almost satirical to me[1]. > Our tentative policy is to consider a JavaScript program nontrivial if: > it makes an AJAX request or is loaded along with scripts that make an AJAX request, Someti

I have to apologize for the extreme and apocryphal example, but I honestly can't think of a better one right now: there are quite a few people that have been convicted as war criminals for "applying law" as they were ordered

zeveb is arguing for nonviolent civil disobedience, which is a very far cry from vigilante justice. Some of our greatest civil rights heroes are advocates for civil disobedience, including Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Mohandas Gandhi,

It's a bit of a stretch to call it a programming analog, but Factorio is appealing to me in many similar ways. The ability to construct factories with input materials and output products and optimizing those factories for the best rati

In typical US government fashion, the answer to this is to make all major industries worse at cyber security.

I've used Go in a lot of database work as of late, and it's done a fine job for me. I've used it to connect to MS SQL, PostgreSQL, and Teradata. The Teradata connection was a little tricky, as nobody had written a Go/Ter

Out of curiosity, what methods did you use for image dedupes? Simple file hash, or something more complex to find e.g. watermark vs no, different crops/scales, etc.?

You're misunderstanding, and I don't blame you because I don't think I'm explaining it well. First, I do not disagree that this is very likely intentional "easter egg" behavior programmed in by the developers.

I think what gburt is trying to say is that the timings for the head-bob and the boss's vulnerability are probably driven by the same RNG results, and thus are coincidental rather than intentional. This doesn't imply that they don

I'm a bit surprised at the downvotes. I'm no scientist, but I meant this suggestion in earnest. As far as my layman's knowledge goes, I've always understood the Moon's He-3 reserves to be a "vast, as-yet-untap

Google Reader was one of many means of connecting to RSS. It became the de facto means for a lot of people, and it was a serious blow to RSS when it shut down despite the existence of alternatives.

For a laser of the proposed magnitude surely a little bit of air isn't going to make a significant difference. From what I can gather the thing would be classified as a WMD and capable of carving a smiley face on Pluto.

Interestingly, with no way to stop those relays we'd have to keep firing them at regular intervals until we no longer need them.

That's not terribly different from a rocket in concept, is it?

That comparison makes no sense to me. There's a world of difference between blowing the whistle and subverting due process.
