Rebase should never be used. Or, if it is used, it should be treated as a dangerous thing to do that’s well outside the norm. Most of the arguments in favor of rebase are by people fanatical about having a git history organized just so. It’

They are orthogonal, plenty of people are happy with themselves despite being abusive or toxic. It’s a poor heuristic for one’s ability to socialize with others or be a parent. Also, unhappiness can be something people are in denial about.

There’s some truth here, but the fact is we are all lost or deluded to some extent. The idea that we must perfect ourselves before we enter a relationship with others is common in internet advice and frankly wrong. One of the main ways we h

What’s the point of loading a page in 500ms if the real problem people are dealing with is a glut of content and fierce competition for our attention. I wonder if a slower web might be a better web in many ways. Reduced page load speeds inc

This ignores the fact that Leonardo and Bellini went from places of social relevance and interest to being primarily of historical interest. No one says “I really could go for some Bellini about now”. “What do people enjoy, and why” is a mu

I am sorry for what happened to your family. Armenians did commit some atrocities in response. I don’t condone those. I say this as an Armenian. The scale of those was small in comparison. That does not negate that the genocide happened, in

My ancestors were murdered both during the Genocide in Anatolia, and in the violence in the years immediately following. I’m also half Jewish. I count both Germans and Turks as friends, but while I have mostly positive opinions of the moder

The question isn't wether there are problems with direct cash, but rather if it has fewer problems than existing systems, which this study finds evidence of. The political problem of direct cash transfers is that people find them odiou

I have two ventas, both purchased off ebay used, and they really are the best. Simple, reliable, cleanable and no expensive wick refills. That honeywell lasted about one season. The wick refills are ridiculously expensive. It was cheaper to

The idea that this summers riots were at all comparable to an attack on our nation's legislative body as it certified results of an election is repugnant and absurd. Its easier to point fingers at the other side than take any blame for

Real creators could pay, what, a dollar or five to fund the moderation of their youtube videos. Same for facebook etc. The idea that every social network deserves to exist on terms that are economically preferable to their owners is not som

If you run a social network and can’t keep up with moderation for calls for violence you shouldn’t be allowed to be in business. This goes for the big tech companies as well. “It’s hard” is not an excuse.

Guitars are special in that even expensive ones could often use a setup. Whatever you buy, spend an extra $50-90 for a good set-up. I'd rather play a $300 guitar with a great setup than a $7000 one with a bad one.

There are many more problems with CS degrees that just their price. Would anyone here be comfortable running a WP plugin from the average 4 year CS grad? It is rare to find a CS grad who can write production code right out of college. Let’s

Do you work on small or large code bases? On truly large projects you often find yourself making changes without that level of deep understanding. On these projects you often find yourself needing to work on higher levels of abstraction. Ty

The degree of the fire is determined by the forest. California needs to get to the point where people can light a random tree on fire and not have a total catastrophe occur. You can't outlaw fires, they are inevitable and the forests h

That perspective is somewhat dated to be blunt. A modern Java deployment would be identical security wise to node, with one app per Java process running with the minimum of privileges.

There's no reason for the average investor to trade ETFs at all when no load mutual funds exist. You can use vanguard directly or etrade (or a billion other companies) for that.
