This happened to me. It was a nightmare. Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

Oh. It's certainly better than Bash, but it's still better to use Python or C#. Powershell makes so many weird decisions and it's so verbose and wordy that it becomes unreadable in the opposite way of Bash. I don't think

They have this. It's called powershell and I hate it. If you're going to write code, use a real programming language.

I'm not sure if there ever existed a man as ahead of his time as Von Neumann.

This is everything wrong with the internet from every side. The creepy Amazon workers, the echo chamber, the unreasonable Twitterer. Just everything.

As my grandmother's Parkinson's progressed, she had to give up knitting. Then she gave up all the crafts that she had spent her days on. As things got worse, she could no longer go for walks or visit the neighbors. She stopped coo

Sometimes CEOs who don't know better treat their corporation like a sole proprietorship. The company's money is "theirs," like a piggy bank. So I will guess stupidity rather than fraud.

There would be no "correction," as in revaluing what already exists - there would be a decline in economic productivity and efficiency. The problem isn't that the bank added one too many zeroes and corrected it, but that you

Bankruptcy occurs when your debt exceeds your ability to it off. I suppose that would be the point at which it's easier and cheaper to write new code than try to fix the old code. The debt can no longer be paid back. That said, somehow

They're lucky no one ended up in prison over that. That's just outright fraud.

I can't edit my comment anymore, but I'd like to point out that I'm not commenting on what people's behavior should be, but that there's a generational difference between people who always trust the app and do what

It's not just an assemblyism, the near equivalence between 0 and false, and 1 and true is the thing that Boole wrote about for which Boolean values are named. I would argue that it's a math thing, not an assembly thing.

I have noticed that younger uber drivers trust their apps even to do incredibly stupid things like: make a massive loop over a bridge to turn around and go back to where they came when they were already parked on a two-way street with no tr

Haskell tends to be terse because a number of features and very general built in functions. The author is also good at Haskell and lacks a lot of ugly optimizations making it look even cleaner.

The militarization of the police has come primarily from the militarization of criminals. Before the Valentine's Day Massacres, criminals had better cars and weapons than the police, allowing them to fight and win against the police. P

Yelp can't grow anymore. Now is when they make money and pay back their investors.

Does it need to be scaled up beyond a community of neighbors?

I hate when journalists confuse correlation with causation. It's one of the most basic things you have to know to be be capable of writing about science and the fact that they failed the first step tells me they shouldn't be journ

Non-representative outcomes is a symptom of Gerrymandering, ont the goal of it. The reason for gerrymandering a district varies, but overall it tends to preserve the status quo. Those in power can use it to disenfranchise a group of people,

I really don't understand how regulators have even allowed Equifax to continue doing business, let alone continue to pull shit like this.

Gravity is exponential, which makes lifting fuel off of Earth a losing strategy for long-distance travel. Anything that is fueled by something already in space seems incredibly promising.

The fact that people were already reading about electronics in magazines they bought with their own money shows that people would have known what computers were regardless. Those advertisements only worked because the audience was already i

I wanted to mention that advertising kills the ecosystem for free and cheap stuff. People say things like "TV wouldn't exist without advertising," but TV would probably be better without it since networks would have to convin

How on Earth did you come to the conclusion that computers wouldn't exist without advertising?

I hope the reality is that criminals are really dumb and not that we only catch the really dumb ones.

If we interbred with them, how are they actually species? It seems more to me you're talking more about racial or breed differences akin to breeds of dogs if two species actually successfuly had viable offspring in the wild.

SOX exists because of Enron / Arthur Anderson / Tyco / half a dozen others, not banks.
