Everyone is looking down on the users, but they're right. Usually the most correct UI design is the most obvious one, and showing off how clever you are might make the designer feel smart, but it makes the consumer feel dumb. It's

The financials themselves are the facts, everything else written about it is interpretation and punditry.

CPU means the main processor. I would consider any source on the subject wrong if they say otherwise. But CPUs still have main memory and cache, so to say storage isn't part of the CPU is still wrong.

I don't trust anything IBM says. They have a long history of lying and misleading that continues to this day. It's about as trustworthy as Facebook saying you shouldn't be concerned about privacy on Facebook.

I've seen this happen with Perl and Ruby (both replaced with Python). Being able to replace workers is not an insignificant business risk. A small company outside of a major tech hub just can't support the development of software

It seems like there's a lot of profit in synthesizing existing technonogies, like decades old tech and new stuff (bitcoin, uber, neural nets + GPUs). And also overlooked are dying industries. They tend to consolidate on their way down,

I looked up some DevOps stuff on reddit through a proxy with adblockers in private mode and all of a sudden my front page was filled with posts about depression, men asking advice about how to talk to women, and advice about getting a job a

This is just fuzzy reasoning that draws conclusions not justifiable from the facts. It wouldn't be reprehensible if not for the fact that academic credentials are being thrown around to give an heir of legitimacy to what would be chari

This sort of thing is dangerous if you want to keep drivers as independant contractors. Lyft sounds like they're no longer paying by the job, but more of a salary. Such a reclassification could retroactively allow their drivers to bene

I tried it last release. I don't see how it's any different than Ubuntu other than the company also makes laptops. I must be missing something.

Sure, but even before that we didn't have rugs or floors to clean, we just died in damp caves and made stone blades.

Everyone in the comments either doesn't like Haskell, because it's hard and different or niche or whatever, so they think Haskell is bad for production even though they don't code in it and haven't worked at a place that

I'm not sure you understand what limited liability means. Limited liability doesn't mean that the CEO can't be put in prison or Equifax liquidated. It means that after Equifax is liquidated, if there's still debts to be

So to be clear, this wasn't a study of people with high IQs, it was a study of people who signed up for a high IQ club that wasn't, say, academic research. Sounds like you're looking at people where the biggest thing going fo
