I'm inclined to agree. Half of the Taiwanese in the US live in California and the rest mostly in Texas/NY. They are a highly-educated, modern populace, they aren't going to go "building railroads in flyover country,&quot

What's your point? That doesn't exclude US Americans from offering criticism. We are not all one entity, there's ~300M of us. Many of us had nothing to do with Vietnam and I can damn near guarantee wouldn't repeat that d

On the surface, this seems like FUD or at least exaggerated. Anecdotally, Americans across the spectrum are at least weary of China if not openly hostile. China does have a lot of corporate influence at the upper levels and corporations do

VSCode's support of TypeScript is a boon even if you're writing vanilla JS, because it will pick up types defined by your libraries in use and now you can very quickly/easily get to the interface information without having to

To me, your current situation is ideal. I've been here for 5 years and I'm ready to transition slowly to something a bit more hands-off since I have (sole) familiarity with nearly half of our apps since I helped build them while m

Their*, and yes, I'd think so. I've done it myself and seen it done countless times. At a certain point, money is gonna win every time and it really doesn't even need to be that much more, in my experience.

Asking "what is their obsession" but then trying to delineate your own as something special or different is pretty weird but okay. Tech folks have been weebs (and then some) for a long time, it's not a secret and I think it&#

Fair point, I wasn't being precise in my language. I look forward to finishing the books before it at any rate. For what it's worth, I'm sure it does benefit from reading them first but you can definitely piece together the m

Maybe relatively, but it was what was on-hand (in jail) and by itself it was more than interesting enough to get me to begin reading the series in order when I got the chance.

Slightly off-topic but I deleted my Instagram yesterday. I was really holding out for one person who almost refuses to talk to me on any non-FB property but...oh well. I'm glad to be rid of it, but I can't shake that it's som

I agree, it was a stark reversal from "The Plan does not account for the actions of any one individual" but was just revealed that it somehow hinged on the actions of...one individual. I think they fell into a trap with that and h

Just my guess, the folks creating the show probably do not care too much. The vast majority of people are going to be happy with the production while the hardcore fans, or those with fond memories who've spent a lifetime waiting, are g

I only read "Foundation and Earth" before the show began (that's what was on hand where I was, I had little choice, as much as I hate starting in the middle of a series), and that book is VERY different from what I'm rea

Random anecdote: I keep a couple of milkweeds casually on my 4th story apartment balcony in SoCal and I get many monarchs coming thru, sometimes a handful of cocoons at a time. I got a cheap butterfly enclosure and I put the entire plant in

It's in the mission statement at the top of the link: > and potentially allow male-male couples to have biological children.

What are the reasons for his reservations about it? The article doesn't seem to cover that. Why does he call it impossible? I was under the impression the idea is to supplement the current supply chain, not replace it completely.

I was trying to delete my Instagram account just yesterday and didn't even get around to it since I needed to do it from their website.

This is it. The Corsair 1000D is actually a dual-system case and just has massive room. Two quad radiators and a triple 140 in push-pull, plus 2 rear fans. The two quads support one cooling loop (for one of the systems) and the triple suppo

I run 24 fans in my build and I have a couple of these as the final stop in the wiring chain in the back and run almost exclusively in Linux these days so this is absolutely welcome.

Work remotely and not be micromanaged is how I manage something similar. Mine might be even more extreme. Sometimes the second half of my biphasic work schedule may not occur until as late as 9 PM.

I wouldn't call Lightroom CC "expensive"...it's less than a Netflix subscription. I guess everything is relative nonetheless.

It seems like a lot of JS developers are finding shelter in TypeScript and Rust. I think this is good news. TypeScript has an awesome type implementation on top of what we already know, and Rust obviously has huge performance benefits over

Yes, for 4 years I did, and what they're saying is absolutely true. It desperately tries to lock on to something when it loses whatever it's focused on. Diligent owners just learn those scenarios so you know when they're comi

Regulations on whom? If I don't want to make an Android app, I won't. Last I checked, Apple's App Store brings in more money with a smaller user base (unsure if this still holds). Maybe Android could try making the experience

I think you make a good point that is worth talking about but also it seems unfair to compare the two, in that manner at least. Both are awful but the way that opiates kill and really destroy lives, relationships, families, etc. is really o

I definitely think your latter point is very important but also very likely to get lost in the noise and the circus of the public.
