Even worse when there's not even a grammatical structure, like "opt-out options" "annoying marketing emails (o )" am i... enabling the thing? opting out of the thing?

I guess because they think it doesn't benefit them and will make future diplomacy harder? I don't know if that falls under arrogance, but I also don't know how to ascribe comprehensible motivations to the state department or

Hi yeah I also hate web things that should be documents and want to be apps instead but I think it's still pretty hard to make the case that this is as bad as Facebook's impact on like everything.

After having become an expert on the incident from having skimmed half of the wikipedia article, I note that it mentions both Reagan considering his letter an apology and the US government not having made a formal apology, so I imagine ther

I think a highly volatile and chaotic use case is exactly where I'd expect them to design a perfect, or at least orders of magnitude less susceptible to operator error, system. Of course it's hard for me, a spoiled millennial wh

Wikipedia says "The attack occurred during the Iran–Iraq War, which had been continuing for nearly eight years." I guess it wasn't supposed to be a war that the US was involved in directly? But they were apparently getting th

I think for me the appeal is that just that all the big brain programming language research seems to happen in weird new functional languages. I assume they're just a better petri dish for experimenting with weird shit, or maybe they c

It would probably be reasonable but a lot of people would complain because they don't want to think about the zero case all the time, so maybe it's also reasonable to not do that.

This seems fun! Far too few people who are all "your bash scripts shouldn't be 300 lines and have complex logic!" address why people reach for bash scripts in the first place, so kudos for that.

Sounds like the difference is whether it's about platform-specific issues. > Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The re

Isn't that a good deal? 50% more testing in a way that can surely be parallelized to some extent does not seem a very steep price at youtube scale.

Maybe the AI service could be ad-powered.

Hm, why do you think that is? Do programmers just respect each other less than they respect baristas?

Admittedly I drove a pretty worthless car, but when I moved to a denser city and stopped driving, something like "swap your car for a lifetime public transportation pass" would have been really, really tempting, too.

A bicycle is a vehicle in plain language, I don't think they were making a point about the, uh, legal term of art. I was confused by your link, it seems to be saying ebikes aren't bicycles and are in fact a form of vehicle? > W

Well, that's what happens when you make the API more limited than what people can do with scraping (or with using the public "our own web client" API key).

Might be my bias showing, but I just assumed that demo scene stuff mainly developed in Europe, and at least in German, referring to a hackingscene[1], or javascene[2], or gamescene[3], or magicscene[4] wouldn't feel out of place at all

Not marrying someone given such a huge values discrepancy sounds like the right move, though.

I don't think you should derive a universal QA standard from specific release practices borne out of a specific risk/reward situation that depends on things like your particular business model or lack thereof. There's a wide

Nope, I suspected something there too but it turns out I only have en-GB there.

I don't mind putting data in the app. I don't want to tell the people running it anything.

> For now, our app is client-side only. There is no server. Which is nice. Cause it removes complexity and we can leave all the data on our users' phones. That's a relief, when I saw this in the OP I got pretty worried: > He

This is a weird question to ask but why's your website German for me? Edit: Oh, I got it. This submission links to the English version, but the "the next elim." link at the top links to a not specifically English URL, and goi

Can you elaborate on proper IP management? Isn't that sort of what the parent post is talking about with splitting the network into regional chunks? I'd imagine few service teams at Amazon would get very far with a /29, let a
