I don't really care much for language popularity, but I think the case to be made, as can be for any language of waning popularity, is the pool of developers who are available for hire. ColdFusion is also unpopular for an important fac

Not a good analogy to compare tire sizes for mountain biking to information security in Javascript. You should be comparing bicycle locks.

No doubt. Twitch is also pretty easy to get in contact with regarding any content disputes as well, at least in comparison to YouTube.

IMO, China will never dominate anything if they continue to limit the free thinking of their citizens.

I think it could be useful as a tool for MDs. When booking an appointment with your doctor, you could take a photo and submit it. If the NN detects something abnormal, it could be useful in prioritizing your appointment or at least flagging

Slightly off topic - I can’t imagine calling the framework Sauron and posting a photo from the LOTR movie is legal.

I think a lot of people, me included, have quite a high barrier to things they're willing to discuss or reveal to co-workers regarding their personal life.

Everything that he mentions he misses is now in a group chat for me. A group of 20 or so friends have a Telegram group where we spit out random thoughts, talk about news, day to day life, spontaneously throw together plans to hang out or go

I don’t really have any complaints about how they implemented it here in Ontario. It’s far better than what the previous government had planned. Granted, I don’t smoke that often - but I’ve been to one of the stores and ordered from OCS onl

Linus’ view on anonymity was surprising to read. I’m not sure I agree with him on that but his view on social media being a platform for the lowest common denominator sure seems agreeable.

Blows my mind that there’s people who figure this stuff out. Do they just spend their day to day time at work attempting all sorts of variations of this kind of stuff? How often does discovery or research like this lead to a dead end?

Nice read. It’s always enjoyable setting up a new machine, regardless of the OS or platform you’re using. I’ve never used BSD or any of its derivatives - is the main difference between OpenBSD and FreeBSD just the focus on security?

Nope. Rates are based off a prime lending rate which is equal amongst all the big banks. But like they said, you are free to shop around. Credit unions usually have good offers. Ideally you’re not buying a home that you can’t afford if rate

I tried DoorDash out for the first time recently. Gave a generous tip because the driver had to wait a while as the food took way longer to prepare. Then I started reading about DoorDash and discovered what you mentioned about tips. Immedia

I'm curious, where are you from? I live in Canada and no one carries around a gun except criminals. We have a fair number of stabbings since anyone buy and carry a knife (with exceptions) but shootings are pretty damn rare. I think alm

We've already seen a decline of 10+% in the S&P so I wouldn't rule out that it has already been happening.

I'm curious to know if DuckDuckGo promotes itself using privacy-invasive platforms. How much do they truly value privacy if they're willing to let others invade for them? Reason I ask is because strangely enough, after reading thi

They're demanding in that they are highly social animals, so they can't really be left alone for long periods. They need affection/interaction. They bond with humans just as humans bond with each other. So they really do beco

I had a parrot growing up. Well, my family did, I suppose. My dad bought a Senegal when I was about 15. It passed away when I was in my early 30ies. They are indeed highly intelligent and social animals. It bonded with my dad the most. I wa
