It sounds like the disagreement here is over the definition of literature. I generally regard wiktionary's fourth entry (high fiction) to be its definition, whereas this seems somewhere between that and the second (collected creative w

Most web developers I know couldn’t cascade themselves out of a box model. Few know any tags beyond div. They’re running around with hammers taking on carpentry, plumbing and electrical problems. But I don’t think front end ever truly exist

Yeah idk why people are still texting. This must be a North American/European thing? In Asia and Latin America nobody texts.

The visceral reaction is little about left and right. Ask a west coaster: what if the shore and the mountains and dense forests went away? What if the dramatic canyons and sweeping dunes of the southwest were confiscated? Lush lakes and riv

I consumed this article and yet it still exists, unchanged, so I don’t think this swap has any real epistemological effect beyond diluting “destroy.”

The saddest art is that which is undiscussed, for it has inspired nothing, evoked nothing, changed nothing, _created_ nothing.

No user has ever said "WOW I need Google search engine in my life right now" they said "WOW I need some gotdang funny cat pics" and google proved a means to resolve that desire. Similarly, no one will ever say "WOW

The only cure for cowardice is to face your fears: donate it all to charity, the IRA included. All other measures are short-lived nepenthes.

If you're close to MN, the MinneBar conference put on by MinneStar is the best I've ever been to. MinneStar is a nonprofit supporting the Minnesota tech scene, so it avoids some of the commercialistic trappings of many other confe

Yeah, can similarly vouch. 3x increase over 7 years. It’s possible that in some positions you can just level with the manager: “hey if I leave I can get $x more - do you want to keep me?” and some employers will want to/be able to. Oth

I was unaware monkey labor was even a thing and Chaokoh is my preferred coconut milk brand, so now I have to ask myself: do I care about monkey labor? What's the alternative to monkey labor in the coconut industry? Is monkey labor depr

I have two 24" monitors on my desk, one in landscape, one in portrait, and wouldn't have it any other way (ie, neither more nor fewer, nor any other arrangements). When I travel I work on my laptop screen and it's fine but I

I love Elm, but it drives me nuts how many static pages guarded by JWTs I'm forced to write because the industry MO is to script everything in the browser. We don't even bother learning how CSS and HTML work anymore because we can

This is a rather bizarre claim. Is the risk of loss truly so terrifying as to always avoid joy?

This is a great answer if, like you said, you don't set up computers very often. I use mostly defaults in part because I set up computers a couple times a month. Often just for a day does that physical or virtual device live, consuming

I suppose this is where one accidental stumbles into incel justification. A man who wants to have a baby must find a woman willing to carry it for him, and then there’s all sorts of custody negations to be made. A woman who wants to have a

What do you want out of learning backend engineering? A job? Then Node is sufficient. Go wouldn't be hard to pick up on top of it to make yourself more attractive. PHP is somehow still a stalwart in this realm, too, and there's lo

Wow. Before, I was selling plasma to afford cigarettes while serving in AmeriCorps. Maybe now I'll sell plasma to detox instead.
