I meant to agree with the point above, I pronounce it ‘car’ as well. For some reason ‘care’ doesn’t sound right either.

It's an odd coincidence that shortening "binaries" to "bin" makes sense in this way, but you're right, /bin is a literally a bin to put your binaries.

I think this pronunciation sounds right because it comes from "character", which doesn't have the "ch" sound.

You may honestly be right. This division needs to soften, and that won't happen until everyone finds some common ground and feels accepted. Mocking or belittling will certainly only drive us further and further away from each other. On

This kind of flipped a switch in my brain, that makes a lot more sense than the "trash bin" pronunciation. However, I will continue saying "bin" because old habits die hard and "bine" just sounds wrong to my br

Thanks for this. I suppose the reason people follow him is often because of his politics, not all of which I disagree with. But I think the hatred he inspires is packed into his rhetoric, and that's what I take issue with.

Parler is not independent though, in the sense that they rely on Amazon servers, and Amazon has a right to decide who they do business with. Similarly, Google and Apple can choose who they allow to use their marketplaces. On Android I belie

Since 2016 I've tried very hard to understand and empathize with the baffling behavior of staunch Trump supporters. Certainly not to support their politics, but to restore some sense of stability to my world view--that people are gener

In a pragmatic way, you are right. This could have ended up much worse than it did. But let's not fool ourselves, the intent of these people was to intimidate officials into disrupting a peaceful transition of power. They didn't d

This is a good point, which I think was reflected by in nickpeterson's comment as well. There's still a bit of a culture of "move fast and break things" in my line of software engineering that I don't think ever exi

It's probably comparing apples to oranges. There are very talented software engineers and very talented non-software engineers. Regardless of the field, I think it's worth mentioning how extraordinary it is to take on an engineeri

Agreed, the amount of validation work that goes into these projects must be amazing, and even then the engineers have to essentially cross their fingers that no issues were missed. I think I’m spoiled in my job in that our software can at l

I think the reason you’re getting downvoted is pretty much that you’re trying to impose your ideals on others. Some people likely benefit from this library. Some people benefit from the latest video game. If we were all working on curing ca

But if I understand correctly, it seems like the added bonus of Geforce Now is that you can still access that content in the same way as Stadia. The difference is you also get to own the games and have a potential way of playing them on you

I really appreciate this line of thought. It can be easy to brush stuff like this off as frivolous, but when you look at it from a more primitive perspective, it really is amazing, and it truly seems to me like art

On the bottom of the about page [0] they have an "In association with Amazon" badge, so I'm guessing they have Amazon's consent. Edit: D'oh. Had I looked a bit longer I would have seen the legal disclaimer that conf

Opium seems to be a good example of this, as it is of course used to make a large number of pharmaceuticals.

Definitely have to agree with you here, as well as other posters saying it's more relatable seeing enhanced and colorized footage. To me, history becomes much more engaging and thought-provoking when presented that way. Not strictly re

You get to choose the things you say, and although many might agree your statement has some truth to it, I don't see how it adds any substance to the conversation.

I can really appreciate the approach of designing a language to work alongside an IDE to allow both complexity and ease of use. That being said, in my heart of hearts I would rather have a language that I can use effectively without dependi

It seems fraudulent in that it would evidently not be an honest review, complicated by the fact that the review would essentially be paid promotional content because you were paid for it.

As in you’re working on a YouTube team? Sounds like great forward progress! Can you give any comment on the repeated autoplays? Seems like that would indeed be a relatively simple feature that would add a lot of value.

I don’t think the age of their account should be a factor in the validity of their arguments. It would be one thing if our rights were restricted so that we could never pay for reach of expression. That seems like it would be a violation of

Not to be cynical, but as the first sentence in the article suggests, I think the goal is really more aligned with “attracting tech-savvy youngsters to the Catholic Church”.
