Some people use McDonalds instead of Starbucks, or fill in the blank indy coffee shop, as a third space. If this is truly mind blowing, you might need to get out more.

If you can include /etc/shadow you can also just cat it. curl|sh software installations are far more of a threat than potentially a malicious c per-processor statement.

"Vim modes" only offer like 40%-60% coverage of features in IDEs. I haven't found one yet that lets you set marks with :k[letter]. Jetbrains (and maybe viper) are the only ones I've found that support block modes. "

This is the problem with 'responsible disclosure.' Companies will just drag their feet indefinitely, like an undergrad who stalls and manages to talk the instructor into assigning them an incomplete instead of just failing them ou

ARM added a few opcodes for JS. Seems like this is a solved problem.

Jeffery Epstein used unencrypted burned CDs/DVDs for his child porn. Also, did Interpol ever ground his plane---the Lolita Express?

Sentiment analysis is snake oil. But being snake oil doesn't stop people from trying to sell it. If these sort of systems get widely adopted, or people attempt to adopt them, the days when fighting against ReCaptcha challenges will loo

Are we forgiving Walt Disney for having 'trouble makers' blacklisted and investigated by HUAC? I'm not. Even if they made something besides pablum, I wouldn't be interested.

Payday loans and financial derivative products both exist at opposite ends of 'creative finance' that can come back to bite you. Payday loans, like what Intuit is doing, seeks to directly profit off of those who have the least. Wh

Most of the other people gaming the system are doing it to benefit themselves personally. Intuit is gaming the system so it can continue its rent-seeking behavior against the American tax payer at large. There is an element of direct unjust

It's like having prayer in school. It might seem like a good idea on its surface to some, but then you have to decide whose prayer. In Engel v. Vitale many religious groups actually filed amicus briefs against having public school star

It's automation taking away the lower level trader and analyst positions. These were jobs that were very lucrative. This creates an even more rarefied, winner-take-all atmosphere, and makes an industry that was already considered amora

If it's a language for general programming, I immediately ask if it has sum/product types, pattern matching, and static typing. I'm not really interested in learning yet another dynlang that is missing all those.

For people who can use an EV, and for people who are willing to accept that a single vehicle can't do everything. Most people don't want to keep multiple vehicles to cover all their bases. Just look at the number of pickup trucks

Being optimistic, EVs will never have more than a 30% market share because they're incompatible with a large portion of people's lifestyles. They will find an audience with people exclusively commute and have the facilities to cha
