As the owner of a CNC machine shop in Madison, IL, I can tell you it has nothing to do with such wishy washy nostalgia. The steel mills have reopened and are running at capacity. Hard work for an honest dollar is dignity that transcends ski

My feelings on this couldn't be more mixed. I enjoyed many years working as a coder in the academic research setting, but I lost my best friend to suicide in the second semester of his PhD program. It's just sort of a test to see

Immediately fire nineteen out of twenty college administrators making more than $125k/yr. The cost reductions would be immense, with negligible impact otherwise. These hordes of millionaire administrators really don't serve any us

It's interesting to consider the result of anti-white stigma in South Africa, a once prosperous nation, and Zimbabwe before it. Why is Botswana quietly and miraculously successful, while nations so deeply steeped in racial group identi

Trump called out China's continued coal imports from North Korea in a manner that threatened China with loss of face on the world stage. For the first time ever, China enforced their embargo. The North Korean regime rapidly changed its

The next hot new worthless language is inevitably interpreted or built on the JVM. Always. Every single bloody time. Rust is a different animal. Firstly, it was conceived by a guy with the name Graydon Hoare, which is a very robust name. Ne

Incentives shape behavior, and we grow weak and unsatisfied without working against resistance. Without exertion, there is no strength. Consider the rapid deterioration of the human body when deprived of gravity. In the Federation of Planet

Our discussion is centered around perception and semiotics. How is it that Trump benefits from what you perceive as a liability? To you, his past dealings and the controversy surrounding him communicate that he should not be President of th

All the right people hate Trump. It's as asset to him. He clearly courts and benefits from the silly moral outrage peddled against him. The same people outraged by Trump's consensual sex advocate every conceivable form of sexual d

I adhere to the ironclad rule that before committing suicide, I get stoned, put in a good 1.5hr aerobic and resistance workout, eat a couple slices of pizza, take a nap, feel great. 16 years ago, before adopting this rule, my strategy for c

You are absolutely correct. GLSL shaders were excruciatingly difficult to test and debug, before tooling caught up. As a result, I took great care to write small and easily understood functions. It did much to improve my work in Python and

"Moscow’s aim is widely viewed as exploiting divides and sowing distrust of democratic institutions" Coincidentally, that's the purpose of the Trump/Russia narrative. Also, the article holds great contempt for breitbart.

I agree. Therefore, I am donating at least $25,000/yr for basic medical and scientific research that is essentially otherwise unfunded. It broke my heart seeing my PI waste every waking moment writing grant proposals, most of which I d

There is beauty in decrying the inapplicability of a purely functional thing: Even if you wanted more function, you couldn't have it, because there isn't. And yet, you find that it has no function. None! Water, water, ever
