Cool idea. But also, apparently this is a website for submitting and rating ideas themselves?

There was, and like so many other things these days, it's pointless listening to partisan summaries. If you want to know, dig and read the source material.

Awful headline. They're supposed to provide infinite product for a fixed price because the author wants it?

Dupe. Quite a hateful screed, but it's somewhat heartening to see the virtually complete lack of support for it on Twitter.

Even if true, that's more of a description than a solution. Generating new f*s to give is a hard problem.

Fork/exec time for extra processes is usually unimportant. If data transfer is truly a bottleneck, shared memory is as fast as threading. These costs, though, are generally trivial compared to the lifecycle costs of dealing with multi

It is, and I go there only as needed.

Put the computationally expensive task in its own process, and have the UI monitor it as needed as part of its event loop. (That won't work in every case, but it should be thoroughly considered first.)

If a Canadian state decided to rename itself Maine, pretty sure Americans would have zero f *s to give about it. To quote Peter Griffin, "Who cares?!!".

Currently having a mild panic attack trying figure out how I could possibly fit all of that into my weekly schedule. (Props for #10 especially, though. I've recently sworn off the news, which was a toxic force in my life.)

The question is rhetorical--it's quite clear that she already does hate us, and enjoys it. (Next up, "Why Can't We Hate X?", for other values of X.)

Their explanation does not agree with the (clickbait) headline. Rather, they say that VCs better evaluate pitches made by women, apparently by letting through fewer risks. Presumably the fix here is to vet proposals more diligently, in a

Like many others, I've lived this. The worst is over, and currently I'm merely deep in debt, without material possessions, and signing over my entire paycheck as alimony (yes, all of it). Although my life is currently worth li
