I listen to KUTX and KEXP and appreciate that there are shows hosted by different DJs that play different genres at different times of the day, and week. On Friday afternoons KUTX has had a old school dance show. I don't really listen

care to share any examples? your experience is the opposite of mine. I've been using the steam deck status as a shorthand for Linux support for a little while and if anything I've gotten a few games running that aren't suppor

I used to write a lot of comments and I don't much anymore. Usually a long comment is a smell. If the way something works isn't obvious and must be explained, it can probably be better designed. Code changes and then comments have

you're kidding but as an evil-mode user my first thought was "okay, inspect untrusted elisp in vim before opening it in emacs, got it" Thanks for downvoting! I'm not sure why that isn't a valid approach, but then, I

please do not casually recommend nicotine to people. it is not like caffeine. maybe you are able to use it a little without getting addicted, but that would make you an outlier. it is not a replacement for a cup of coffee in any form, and y

Speaking a someone who has written Go full time since 2014: Go is used in a lot of places for unglamorous things where the most important thing is explicitness, and where all these features that the PL nerds want, do nothing but make things

Did you even finish reading the comment you're replying to? It explicitly explains why employees who do not generate revenue are still valuable. What you're describing, that money would go to whoever brings in revenue directly, is

more like an insanity check. Did you ask the AI multiple times? usually if I ask a yes or no question and simply repeat the prompt a few times the model will tell me yes, no, and maybe, for any question.

the SITE can do that when HTTPS is used, yes, but an unauthorized third party can inject stuff much more easily when it's plain HTTP. A little ARP poisoning and some mitmproxy and before you know it you're injecting malware or wha

You don't? I suggest you look at the figures for who is providing aid to Ukraine and ask yourself why the green nations in Europe are paying so much less than the US to fight Russia. This is why Trump won again, by the way. Because Eur

> Google specifically serves a worse version of Search on Firefox for Mobile. You have to get an extension to get the full experience. Huh, I wonder if this is why I have perceived a drop in quality from Google Search. What a stupid move

That may be one definition of satire but it strikes me as controversial or incomplete and when I search online for it, I only find this comment. I think you're coining a definition to fit your purpose. If you want to argue that the art

Uh, what you said is only true if you ignore all of the American technology invented since the 1980s. Just the iPhone alone acts as a counterpoint. The world has changed massively in fifty years because of American inventions made possible

The word that stands out to me most in this comment is "mainstream" where it appears before "media". If the issue is primary sources vs commentary, it shouldn't matter if the person is listening to NBC, CNN, FOX, or

putting the problem in terms of economics isn't incorrect, but I think it can be framed in a slightly more human and horrifying way: As a fact of nature, young adults must do the hard labor necessary to keep the world operating. Histor
