It's amusing because, for me, Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere. Not a knock against Linux because IME the technology just doesn't work _anywhere_

Is there a way for me to preemptively request (demand) my voice (likeness) never be used by this service? How would one go about doing that?

If that's true, it seems like free PO boxes would've been a cheaper and more impactful solution? I agree with your sentiment, and my intention is not to cut costs, but instead maximize impact. Getting as many homeless people as ma

These numbers seem....unproductive. 25k per house? A quick google has California's homeless population at 115k. This seems like it doesn't scale well? On the flipside, as much as my heart goes out to whoever would live in those 12

Yeah I have no idea about the downvotes. Internet forums gonna internet forum, I guess. In seriousness, and without snark, I would like homeschooling to become more common explicitly because I think the US is failing so many kids (from a so

Exactly! So with that in mind, rereading the post I responded to: > Why would you have that happen? Serious question. Isn’t that putting kids in an echo chamber and restricting their access to friends? The answer is obvious.

School can be awful for kids in america. Schools can't keep kids safe. Bullying is rampant. Extremist political groups campaign to get history rewritten to match their agenda. It can be insanely grueling. Certainly homeschooling isn&#x

Are public schools always better than an echo chamber? Does homeschooling always result in an echo chamber? Do kids always have friends in public schools? There seem to be quite a few assumptions in your thinking.

I wish this was less of a contentious conversation. Liking a piece of technology and being able to derive maximal value from it is like 90% of the battle. If your team dislikes a tool, they'll use it suboptimally. All of the song and d

Kinda makes me sad that I read this, saw the date and then thought "I hope this person is still alive". 24 years is a long time. I quite enjoy content like this, especially the tagline (maybe a definition of a word that I don&#x27

I'm not arguing with you, but I'm curious why you'd think a person should "Just learn JS" if you also seem to think that people that know and like JS can't get it right? Isn't the purpose of libraries like

I love this. I tried to get a small PoC working last week and encountered a bug on a very trivial case (rendering a python list to an unordered list element), so may be a bit early for my blood, but I'm excited to see how this project

In my experience, you should only resist or refuse a portion of an interview if you're comfortable just totally walking away from a job opportunity. I've said no to ~8ish interview components and only once was I offered an alterna
