I really appreciate this comment, as anytime a new security issue creates a fuss, I feel like I'm the only one wondering what the real attack vector is. I'm genuinely glad people are so thoroughly investigating this new Apple poli

Wow, I had no idea this was a thing. Not to distract from the thread, but thanks for sharing!

Dumb question I'm sure, but what does CIMMW stand for? (search results didn't turn anything up for me)

Same here. In the back of my mind I was always kind of looking forward to what he would create next. I grew up watching WKUK and am a bit biased, but in any case he'll be missed. Also, if you're a fan and haven't seen it, it&

Wow, what a journey. I'm glad the original authors took such a rational and mentally healthy approach to such a frustrating situation. On the plus side, I'd never heard of Chibitronics, but it seems so approachable that I am now s

Can anyone provide a basic description of how this technology works? It certainly sounds amazing.

Agreed! I think it's really fascinating and valuable to see the metaphors people have used in the past to describe complicated subjects

I always really appreciate and learn from the measured perspectives you share here. It really is a bastion in a world that has recently been pretty crazy. Thanks a lot for your hard work, dang.

I know there's a difference in what you're saying, but I think this is basically the idea of charter schools.

What you're saying seems like a very liberal idea though, right?

Ah I see it now, thanks for the heads up!

I was replying to another comment that has since been deleted. It said something roughly along the lines of git blame being a contentious and passive aggressive command. I totally agree the technical implementation would be cool to study :)

At the bottom it says it was inspired by a google form, but I like this explanation way more.

I think "server side" distracted from my point. I'm not offering a technical solution, only that I really wish ads would be targeted solely on what you're looking at. Similar to how magazine and newspaper ads are targete

I really wish that ads would be targeted based on server side information. As in what website you’re on, or what search term you put in. I really don’t think ads based on my past behavior are useful to me or my purchasing tendencies.

Somewhat related, you can still find reasonably priced pre-built computers with latest-gen graphics cards. If you're in the market for an entirely new computer, this would be the cost-effective way to go. The HP Omen is one example (st

Well yeah, since if the chip maker didn't come up with this product strategy the extra e-waste would be further limited. I think we can probably all agree that corporations should have some responsibility in the ramifications of their

That's a decent point. To my argument though, the duty of the police sometimes does acceptably involve violence against citizens when necessary (although at present they are far too frequently forgetting the "when necessary"

The difference is the Myanmar military was killing their own citizens. A country's military firing live rounds on their own citizens with seemingly no remorse is different than a country's military committing violence in foreign c

I don’t think any of the parent commenters were trying to say this phenomena didn’t happen on the right as well. Obviously we’ve seen a huge swell of right wing media trying to coerce the viewer into a certain set of opinions. If anything t

Not sure why this light hearted comment seemed to be so upsetting to some. I understood the title but can grasp how some may misconstrue it as “a founder who is a hustler”. I saw this as at least a slightly humorous observation.

Sure, it's up to interpretation, but I think we're fooling ourselves a bit to say he didn't incite violence. People raided the capitol on his behalf. His rhetoric must have had something to do with that.

I won't pretend to be close to the matter, but my understanding was Parler's value proposition to users was that they wouldn't moderate as heavily?

I think I see what you're saying, but it seems like we are focusing on two different aspects of the event. I'm perfectly comfortable with people taking issue and protesting the de-platforming. I personally think it was the right m

I'm mostly a casual linux user, so honestly asking, why is sounding like "bind" dangerous? -- edit: A quick search turned up the `bind` command to bind a name to a socket. That makes sense.
