Except YouTube isn’t the equivalent of a library in the first place, it’s the equivalent of a slightly seedy corner store. Sure there might be some mildly informative magazines on a shelf next to the Maxims, but that’s not the point and nev

That was one of the best moments where the writers actually took the Ferengi society seriously. Unfortunately they didn’t really stick with it later in the series.

As they say on twitter, “this but unironically”. My wife is a lawyer. They don’t send her a take home test, or ask her about her side project cases, or whiteboard bar exam questions. Somehow it manages to work.

And yet you still use Google products? You sound like an abused spouse.

The major decipherments started in the 1970s, so depends on your definition of “a long time” I suppose. I don’t think it’s fully deciphered yet, but iirc something like 80-90% of inscriptions can be figured out now.

The difference is that JavaScript bootcampers have never heard of Delphi and think that Google invented software development when Chrome came out.

I mean, I get it, I probably complained in the past about a bunch of Guardian articles on the front page. But eventually I realized that mostly it's just the effect where you notice things that bug you and then forget about them when t

I'm thrilled to watch reddit burn itself down, but of course the mods of big subs were one of the main reasons it was so terrible. If reddit could clone dang a few dozen times, then sure, kick the old mods out and maybe the site could

I don't think this is a particularly new thing. It randomly comes and goes. Maybe there's a peak now because of the reddit BS but I doubt it will last long.

Yes I've noticed that too. For one example, compare Tom Petty doing Full Moon Fever with Jeff Lynne, and then a few years later doing Wildflowers with Rick Rubin. Lynne has a sound, and it's all over FMF. Rubin doesn't ha

The difficulty I had just copying things from one phone to another recently was ridiculous. You’re right, this should be a basic function. I have files I’ve copied from computer to computer that were originally from the late 80s.

Well, yes. It’s encouraging bad practices. Same reason I don’t read clickbait “journalism” articles, or click on ads, or respond to spam emails.

Is that where it came from? I will never click on a video that does that.

I had a big book called “The Internet Yellow Pages” I believe, from.. 1995? Had websites, Usenet groups, telnet MUDs and BBSs, IRC, etc. Discovery was sometimes tough in those days, so why not get a printed book?

I've seen a wide variety, including some with 10%. There really aren't any standard configs -- there's a local coffee shop chain I go to with 3 locations, and I'm pretty sure each of their 3 locations has different defau

They also don't get fixed just because people keep whining. Nothing is going to change, any more than when people complain about Facebook design changes or whatever. The answer is stop using reddit. I already shredded my comment histor

The article has quotes from Toby Gard, who did nothing of the sort and resented the publisher turning her into a sex appeal thing.

“Once ethical”? How far back do you have to go for that? 1999?

The point is that the real world is not a thriller movie. No, the FBI doesn't do that.

My parents just sold their fairly nice large house for something like $170k. Of course it's not in a cool city. Living in a high cost of living area with expensive houses is voluntary consumption. If that's what you voluntarily wa
