Sure, but they handle it well. I placed an order for a pair of 35lb dumbbells, and only one came, and the cardboard box around it was falling apart. I called customer support, probably for the first time in my life, to ask wtf happened. And

No need for insinuations, that's not a point of contention. If you look past the book, and directly at the STL, you'll find a common example: the "fmt" library, shortened to save three letters. Or compare the verbosity o

It's really more of a language community issue, but communities of a language are commonly referred to by the name of the language itself.

That's exactly what I'm wondering. Maybe it has something to do with the additional battery consumption that doing this incurs, probably something like double/triple consumption, with the hashing.

Wow. What are the downsides?

And who would use that system, if it were so closely associated with status as a federal criminal? You're forgetting that the average user doesn't care enough to sacrifice ease of use for greater political benefit.

It has something to do with the spirit of the developer community that makes its applications, though. You could argue they're close enough to be synonymous.

That's incredible! I've been considering moving there after working in the states for a few years. Glad to hear things are going well for you :)

Coming from the US, I assume? Would you recommend the move?

Maybe, but it sounds like you're ignoring government inefficiency. Tell me, how many government projects are you a huge fan of? They're not exactly hallmarks of design or execution. But we need them, at some level, and they'r

Exactly. This article seems to try to paint the tech in a positive light, but it really shows a damning story.

Wow, I had no idea. That seemed so big for OSS, and the killing blow was relatively recent. It doesn't seem as if MSFT has entirely changed.

I'm under the impression that Buzzfeed News is actually decent. It's the main (non news) Buzzfeed site that's responsible for it's reputation

I thought that was interesting, and I think I agree. Specifically with the section about printing your own decks at home to play with friends. To me, that sounds like the optimal way to play trading card games.

Well, this gives a plausible reason for having to log back into an account you're already logged into. And normalizes the behavior. So the next time you get an email from "google", you won't think twice about why you hav

Eh, I don't think it goes as well as you think, considering it's been banned for years [0]. [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/2komqe/china_bloc...

And there also used to be a hardware prototyping board, now renamed to Particle, for exactly that reason.

It doesn't really add much to the conversation, and it comes off as rude.

I'd been going to and organizing hackathons since late high school, and I definitely agree with this sentiment. I was lucky enough to go to the Pennapps that was hosted in the huge Wells Fargo stadium in Philly, and even though there w

Solid playlist! It's very slightly different than the vibe of some of these songs, but here's a song I throw on loop for hours while working. You might enjoy it: https://open.spotify.com/track/1IbNYr8ByXsgwGbm

No, he's saying that some (possibly many) users know how to use the service, but not VPNs or TOR. Therefore, they are easily blocked, compared to advanced users.

To be fair, as someone who's been at Google for ten years, you sound pretty senior. From what I've seen, I think there might be significant sample bias. It seems that most people who use/abuse drugs are much younger, and ofte

Haha no. But there's something to be said about the bimodal situation that the non-granular tiered system of benefits put people in. Having a sharp drop in benefits once you go from nothing to a moderate income really takes the coal ou

I wouldn't assume that was the only cause. It could be that online games are more addicting (they are), or maybe that they're using it as a tool to cope with depression (I definitely know people that do). Just because people choos

Especially when it comes to products, consumer convenience often seems to be at odds with consumer well-being. Take everything from McDonalds's fast food, to Facebook's engagement optimization, to overprescribing of antibiotics an
