Haha, which streets? I'm a bike messenger here in SF and haven't noticed any streets that are noticeably bike-paced. I have noticed car-paced series of lights like fell/oak/masonic in the haight where you have to book

Not only that- work in the morning. Get up, eat something, then try to start working asap after that.

Well, a driving factor too is the increasing stratification of the economy. I would've probably just been a programmer as a hobby if left to my own devices, but i see programming as maybe my only chance to lift my family out of povert

The way the hillary campaign has cynically co-opted the social justice movement is disgusting, but also reveals a lot of endemic problems with our 2016 sj movement. I wish i wasn't at work right now so i could go in depth on these iss

Edited out a minor freakout i had thinking powervr was claiming to have invented tbdr when its been in the literature for years. Well guess what, fuck, i'm totally wrong, powervr did invent tiled rendering. In 1996. That's what

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, an axiomatic set theory that basically forms a logical "foundation" for math. I think this comparison of counting blocks to zf set theory is super hyperbolic and not accurate though.

Yeah. Yeah i would, honestly. There's always the exception to the rule, but we're talking about systemic issues, not playing the "but not all men..!" game. Refer to my other reply but when you put people who have grow

Frats are like the perfect petri dish for misogynism and racism. You get a bunch of white guys together in a usually racially and always sexually homogeneous club, and these kids, who don't know much about the world yet, suddenly don&

This is what happens when frat boys get jobs. I think one piece of the puzzle is fostering less misogynistic environments in college, before these dudes enter the workforce. But seriously, how fucking disgusting. This article ruined my mo

meh - imo, even if C++ is a ridiculously bloated beast, it has some things that are indispensable for game programming that C doesn't. vector math without operator overloading is gross. being able to have generic containers with temp

well, your dichotomy is fundamentally flawed imo. it's not "having information but keeping it private" vs. "having information and publishing it to the public". the real issue is "a person who knows me well en

so many articles that attempt to analyze or explain anxiety or depression just end with "looks like you need to get out of your own head", which is non-advice. you can't get out of your own head. depression and anxiety are d

e-mail at its best retains something unique to the written letter, a tendency towards long, frank, thoughtful compositions that are sent with a lot of aforethought and intention. i think if we fully move towards communication regimes where

i can't wait until brain imaging technology improves and we can make sociopaths and narcissists wear a government-mandated scarlet letter letting everyone know how dangerous they are.

in terms of the changed perspective, you're never going to forget that feeling. it will forever be an "option" that has to be staved off with will. the memory of a feeling like doing heroin is different from, say, the memor
