This is just an insane level of censorship, I don't care if they are literally for-real Nazis. It's not the place of corporations to pick and choose who should have Freedom of Speech.

I think if two weeks notice is fine for quitting, a month is more than fine for nearly any real change.

I wonder if he's going to spin up a more libertarian friendly incubator?

Nope, although I haven't really used them much outside. Just walking around, or sitting, or at the gym at a treadmill.

I've had my airpods for about two months now and I really like them a lot. They are small enough in their case that I usually carry them in my pocket, which I didn't normally do with other earbuds, and so I've found I get to

I'm a white guy. I'm a software engineer. I'm totally cool with hiring people who aren't white guys (assuming they can do the job.) It seems that Denise Young Smith understands that, but there's a weird fringe of

I actually really like the old hand sketched design drawings quite a bit, there's a really cool look to them, and while it's purely useful, sometimes there's some real artistic merit there.

Your calendrical fallacy is ... not just using unix timestamps.

Nope, purely chronological. I do a short index in the back, that's as close as I get to subjects.

That's not it, but I like that one too. That's the right brand though. It's this one: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/home-gift-patina-brown-drag...

I'll occasionally take a scan (actually usually a photo with my iphone) as a super quick way to share a diagram. I'd love to get them all scanned in and indexed somehow. That would be the best of both worlds.

I keep it paper for various reasons. I've played around with digital notes, the main problem is it's hard to sketch stuff quickly, even though I have a nice wacom tablet, and it's horrible with just a mouse or trackpad. And

Get better pens. There are waterproof ones that I use, they are the anti-fraud ones that they market for use with paper checks.

I'll start with the date and a big horizontal line. For meetings I'll put the start time and a quick header, then some quick notes, usually not even complete sentences, I'm just scribbling things down to remember. In deep cod

I'm using one from Fiorentina, it's hardbound with a dragon and a griffin on the cover, I've been using them for a while now. They are really well made, but I mostly like them for the cover :)

I've been keeping a paper notebook since I started my MS in computer science, which I graduated from about 10 years ago. It's something that really helps in software development work too. It's amazing how often the same stu

I live in Emacs too. I thought you could get one with real buttons? Did they drop that?

I hate the keyboard on the 2015 era ones too though, I'm always using my giant Microsoft hump style keyboard instad. I only use the built-in keyboard in hotel rooms/conferences/etc.

Boeing supposedly had a fully double-decker variant of the 747 in the works back in the late 1970's or early 1980's but abandoned it early on because there wasn't a market.

Wow, I'm amazed they were even still around.

That's what I'm using at work, and what I've got for my personal laptop too. Are the new ones that much worse? They don't seem like there at all worse to me, I've been thinking about getting one.

By handful I mean < 5. Probably usually just one. Because no others would get a chance to evolve, with all the habitable planets quickly being occupied by whichever species figures out interstellar travel first.

I have trouble believing there's more than a handful of spacefaring species per galaxy. Even without FTL travel, one species could fill up all of the habitable planets in a galaxy the size of ours in a few million years or less, thank

The answer they don't want to touch? The media, NYT included, has been attacking the very concept of marriage for decades. It's not a matter of "privilege", it's a matter of those that are more capable of ignoring

But they aren't that's the point, this is some of the worst turnouts for movies ever.

by cgore 9y ago
I think more than anything what we need is more movies made by low-budget places. I really don't want to see another sequel, redo, or comic book movie. It's just lazy on the part of the movie companies.

Fundamentally, I think this is an issue with DNS itself. It assumes trust, it assumes central control, and it assumes nobody is trying to screw with you on a higher level. In the long run it'll probably need to be replaced with somet
