A union makes it easier to fire workers? What?

I've been using wee-slack for months, but I always assumed it was using the IRC bridge under the hood - judging by the fact that it's still working right now, I guess that's not the case :)

Exactly - in which case, I don't understand why AirBNB allows listings in those places, or at least warn you. It's a terrible user experience to find out you're an unwitting co-conspirator in someone else's crime.

They don't explicitly state this, but I really hope one of the things they guarantee with Plus is that the host isn't expecting you to cover up the fact that you're in an AirBNB. I love the service overall, but I absolutely h

My impression was that humans are still routinely bested by indexes in the long run, so being "dominated" by humans sounds downright scathing. > Those programs may be useful, but they are not A.I. because they are static; they

Phoronix is doing a ton of very thorough benchmarking for a variety of software. So far just on Intel CPUs but he will surely get to AMD too.

A plea to the people behind Fermat's Library - please port the Librarian extension to Firefox, too! It has full support for the WebExtensions API that Chrome uses, so porting is usually just a matter of a small tweak to the manifest.js

My memory of the event may be confused with another one, but I believe the guy who did this did it accidentally. He was as confused by the result as everyone else - in fact, he froze the account on his own, so that he wouldn't have acc

I've never heard of SunTools before – did they really have 1152x900 resolution back in 1985?

Okay first of all - you're commenting on the completely wrong post. Secondly, in reference to the story you are commenting about, she says in the thread that she always consumes her feed until she sees repeats. Not to mention that sh

I have a degree in mathematics, I'm fine on the statistics front. It's very likely to NOT be a random sample - you would only be testing the packages which have had effort put in to make them reproducible, for reproducibility. I w

Headline is misleading – according to the article, 76% of the 17% of packages that are being tested are reproducible.

I know the theory, but practically there's a huge difference between that type of physical access and "the victim left the room to go to the bathroom for 2 minutes" type of physical access

If you do a reverse image search on the original stock photograph in question, you will see that it has been reposted hundreds of times before this, surely without proper attribution. Obviously some guy in the graphics department found it a

It is obvious they are the same photo, especially the backside. Any jury would believe it, just superimpose the images on top of each other. The defense isn't that they took the photo themselves, it's that they stumbled upon the p

I switched a few weeks ago when 57 hit the Nightly channel. The main incentive towards Firefox for me has always been the Tree Style Tab extension[1]; it's just that Chrome's better performance used to be a stronger incentive. Now

Well, Mastercard ALONE processes well over 3.5 billion transactions per day, compared to Bitcoin's 300,000. So without knowing anything at all about how energy-efficient they are, we can say it must be many, many thousands of times bet

Yes, of course. Authentication is a single Django module, and they want unit tests (not even code coverage). Those are all scaffolding around the code that everyone agrees should be there. When people complain about whiteboard interviews, t
