It's not hard to imagine confounding variables that could be influencing both, instead of a direct causal relationship.

I don't really care much about the native menus, but the non-native scrolling in Firefox drives me nuts. Granted neither of these are deal breakers for me. I don't use Firefox b/c of pretty context menus.

Try accessing a struct property that isn't in the declaration, or accessing a value after it has been freed (out of scope). You'll get a compile error. D has lots of memory safety features. It is not the same set of features as R

The author's focus is pretty clearly not to get as many users as possible. What's wrong with that?

I get that. For me VSCode is pretty clunky in terms of replacing what I like about Emacs. Writing a plugin is way more of an exercise than writing a couple lines of elisp to change something or add some new functionality, things are not sel

The big appeal of magit, at least for me, is that I can quickly do it with the keyboard. Open magit, press “s” on each hunk to stage it and magit moves to the next hunk, then “c c” to write a commit message, C-c C-c to commit, then “q” and

I’ve been using Emacs for Java dev for a year now using LSP and it’s been great.

This is a part of the positive feedback loop. People have isolated bubbles of sensational information, lots of little positive reinforcements for consuming it (social proof, widgets, dings and badges, etc), and it all feeds back into their

A confounding variable better explains the simultaneous action of tech companies in this situation--the confounding variable being a violent insurrection. This is just more conspiracy theory nonsense. People reacting simultaneously to an em

What you described is how many founders envisioned the US. Granted some weren’t for benign reasons. And I think that’s an important point...many of the civil rights advancements made in the US might have only been possible because the stron

This is way too strong of a conclusion to draw. They don't arbitrate all truth on their platform, they arbitrate it when not doing so could have dangerous consequences for a large number of people. There's a big difference between

Indeed, I don't know what the right answer is here. As a civilization, we're struggling to adapt to the sudden fundamental shift in how information flows. I see these things as experiments in ways to mitigate the negative external

Unfortunately I don't think it's that black-and-white. Fox News is a small part of the information bubble, which includes other sources like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. And there's evidence that social media addiction is

In the US, it's because this claim, or rejection of it, is strongly tied to political identity. Because the US is highly polarized right now, once political identity comes into play, you've left the realm of rationality and entere

If something is sufficiently scary to the lay person, you have a good chance of going to jail. I wouldn't make the mistake of thinking that laws are interpreted and applied fairly.

It’s funny you mention the latter, I’ve seen an industry-wide trend toward using standard programming languages with those things (Pulumi, CDK, et al). I’ve started using them myself. I’m not convinced yet that they’re better. Gradle seems

That’s how you’ve interpreted the light that has bounced onto your retina. Ultimately we all live in the virtual worlds we create in our minds through interpreting our senses, it’s not immediately obvious to me why I should generally prefer

My argument isn’t about containers, I was using that as an easy way to illustrate my point. I care about this because I deal with it all the time. Coreutils programs have pretty different behavior across distributions and OSs, we shouldn’t

Exactly, my first reaction to this was “90% of waking hours spent staring at atoms.” I can describe life in even more absurd ways if I try, but what’s the point?

According to the article's description of APIs, microcontrollers have their own APIs as well, in the form of machine code. Of course in a different sense there's a technical distinction between APIs and ABIs, but in this sense the

Bash runs on a lot more than Linux. I ran a Docker container and copied a statically-linked curl and bash onto a scratch image and ran it, it does not work: $ docker run -it --rm $(docker build -q .) /srvmon.sh: line 162: da

What are the practical reasons we should rearchitect our systems to remove NAT? (I know the weaknesses of NAT but the cat’s out of the bag at this point...the question isn’t really “why should we use NAT”, it’s “why should we go through the

I don't believe this for a second. Apple's largest revenue growth has been in services, and they are sitting on a trove of data. They have a million bad incentives. Honestly I can't believe we're even having this discuss

IMO we can and should take measured risks when shipping too. You can only learn so much in fake environments. You just have to take measured risks, controlling the blast radius as appropriate in your context. But we have to be able to m
