Do we really want another religious war over microservices vs monoliths? Count me out. I'll adopt each for appropriate use cases.

The brutalist design in the Talos Principle 2 is superb, highly recommend if you're a fan of this style!

At my university, formal logic was taught first, then Greek/Roman philosophy, then enlightenment, then modern. And then all the rest.

I think this discounts the genuine political opinions that many elected officials in the US government have, especially about the new cold war with China. It's worth noting that China spends more money lobbying the US government than a

They are truly incredible, beautiful human beings, who believe in a positive vision of what humans are capable of; that we can rise above superstition and the insanity of uncritical thought. IIRC, Penn once said that a long time ago, they w

Java/JVM on ARM/M1 had an enormous amount of bugs for the first several years, fyi. Source: I encountered many of them, which eventually got fixed.

Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit are better with the films. Can't say the same for A Song of Ice and Fire.

One of the article's themes is simplicity and its relationship to how we design software. So no, I think the comment you're replying to is totally apt and welcome discussion of the idea.

Russia is welcome into the West as long as it gives up imperial ambitions in Eastern Europe. Putin and other Russian elites are not interested in giving those ambitions up. Certain factions of Russia do want to give up imperial ambitions an

Iran and Russia are certainly funding these two wars, and these countries are deeply committed to the destruction of western power. Why should western governments not try to undermine their efforts?

The money that isn't spent on consumer goods/services will be invested, where other people can spend that on goods/services, with an expectation of returns on investment, incentivising efficient choices. Economies are cool!

I think it's the same in Windows, right? Can't use the syscalls underneath the hood, everything through the standard libraries. Maybe I'm wrong (I know very little about Windows other than how to use it to play games, and WSL

I don't believe you that you can't get a job, sorry. This is the best job market in my lifetime for laborers. My roommate, who hasn't worked in 10 years, got the very first job she applied for, no questions asked, $17/ho

Are you in the US? There are an unbelievable amount of food service job openings that pay extremely well for that work ($15+ hourly plus tips). I personally know a few business owners that are desperate to hire.

It's fun to ask it to try to draw ascii art based on an image. It barely draws anything resembling the original image, but usually gets the concepts in the original image accurately.

I agree, yet it still makes me feel a bit sick and sad. Thank you for your contributions to medical science.

There are an enormous number of animals, rodents included, that are used in scientific experiments. Most of us believe it would be unethical to conduct the same experiments on humans without their consent. Of course, these animals are not h

Bring back engineer CEOs. I'm sick of this trash.

It's wild that this experimental feature is legal.

Really? I've never had that problem. Can you get a repro scenario?

How many humans would you trade for a monkey? Two can play this game.

This is a huge problem with git/GitHub. Cross repo PRs could simplify this process. I've wanted this as a feature for nearly a decade.

If people are dumb enough to consentually waste time and money on casinos, they deserve to lose their time and money. Some might say the government should intervene; I personally don't care.

After the rug pull of the Pixel Pass, I'm done with Google. That was one of the scammiest things they've ever done. I'm still fucking pissed about it and it's been a month.

Very valid point. One could extend this definition such that: When someone has enough wealth to make a comfortable living passively, they're no longer working class. I think that should sufficiently account for this.

by beebmam 3y ago
Working class means that you are earning a wage/salary and you don't own the means of your value production. Small businesses typically aren't working class, whereas sports professionals typically are working class. If you wa
