Just personally, I’m not super opposed to ads sold on television networks that come over my antenna that basically just market to specific demographics. Billboards a bit problematic if they distract drivers but otherwise don’t bother me muc

If the DoD disappeared tomorrow, wouldn’t pretty much the entire world immediately build up their militaries? They are heavy polluters, and I certainly hope they do everything in their charge to clean up as best they can, but if the entire

That’s funny, I can’t say I’ve tried finding friends that way. Seems like you can just say you’re interested in the same sex? I guess some people are curious, or more insidiously, in a situation where closeted is how they feel best.

Yea it’s like reading Shakespeare… I can read the words and know what most of them mean… but damn if it doesn’t take serious energy to actually parse out the meaning sometimes. I guess in a way, the issue is that it is cloaked with familiar

I can’t say it’ll work, and perhaps you’re already putting in the effort but (as long as it’s okay with your wife!) Some dating apps (Bumble, maybe Tinder?) have options for swiping for friends Other ways I’ve made friends include ski trips

Yea, if someone is tactful, that, to me at least, implies consideration of others. I think it’s about those who’re competent without tact.

It’s just like any other programming problem, break it into parts, and build it back up again. “What’s a union?” “Okay… then what’s a discriminated union?” “Okay… let’s apply destructuring to one…” “Okay… now what would analysis look like t

The one unfortunate side effect is that sometimes what seems totally innocuous to one person (interjecting, a crass joke, swearing, not talking enough, using the language differently, tough accents) may be interpreted as less desirable to w

It’s important to balance an individual’s individual competence vs their effects on others. If working with a competent person means the rest of the team constantly feels stressed, bullied, aggrandized, looked down on, or whatever else then

I’m curious what value alternatives to the USD would offer me? It’s an incredibly stable medium of exchange accepted universally in this nation and in many places around the world. My deposits are backed by the FDIC so if I get hacked or th

Pretty much true everywhere. It’s not like you can take anything with you when you’re dead, owning materials is really just a societal construct no matter which way you slice it.

Hmm, it’s been a while since I’ve been near anything resembling a MOSFET, maybe need a cup of joe to get it!

Additionally, I feel like putting things into my own words can be helpful, or asking for further details. “Ah okay, so ingress hits our service named BigMouth, which… acts as a load balancer and proxy essentially?”

If you’re mentioning making coffee as one of your bullet points for a senior engineering role? That seems pretty fluffy to me! Much less the ridiculousness of grinding to 14nm particles.

Isn’t Sweeney talking about publicly traded companies here though?

Dozens a day? Sheesh. That’s a ridiculous amount. I got I think three in two days so I started answering, after holding the “business loan purveyor” on the line for three minutes he called me a fucker, hung up, and I stopped getting calls.

In this case though seems like there’s plenty of consumers harmed? Here it would be the ad buyers and sellers who cannot use other exchanges and end up paying more or receiving less than they could in a fairer market with the bidding system

I figure it's kind of like a musician busking on the street corner. It's a no risk way to add a few constraints to the practicing you're probably already doing and if you're lucky maybe you'll earn a few bucks too.

I do the same thing. I think it's why I've ended up in a primarily terminal based environment. Tmux, Vim, and Zsh and a couple web browsers and I'm good to go. Very little clutter. I also like to go through and clear house wh

Hmm... I mean, these all seem like mistakes I could make and I don't think I'm the "worst kind of coder". The currency one I learned a while back, but it's not like I intuited using integers by default. Value being

The officer at the polling place I worked Tuesday in Brownsville NYC went out and bought everyone cold water cause the community center was so hot. That was nice of her. I think a lot of the NYPD are fairly average humans who probably don&#

I'll just chime in with my experience as well. Long time DDG user. Barely use bangs at this point. Haven't switched back to Google in ages. I don't really do much local searching, but it seems like that's an issue. When

No one's interested in adverse vaccine side effects? That seems rather counter to my impression which is based on the number of adults who're hesitant and the fact that FDA halted use of Johnson and Johnson vaccines once already a

Hmm. I’m not sure. I bet in the areas these rats perform their duties there’s a fair bit more admiration than from thousands of miles away. Anyways, it’s all good by me!

It might just be a common journalistic practice to briefly profile any name introduced into an article.

Wouldn’t two programs reporting the same value just imply some common os or hardware level function being used by both? It can certainly bolster a belief to have corroborating evidence though.

I’m certain I’ve seen examples akin to “people want to touch and see the products before they’ll consider buying them”. I think the difference with crypto is that over time as more people look under the veil the number of naysayers grow, wh
