So "think of the children" when it comes to censorship. Got it.

Work samples are the only thing that have ever proved to be consistent indicators about a candidate. The only other thing that even comes close is pair programming with someone on the hiring team, and you can have the pair do a work sample

Psilocybin and MDMA are currently being studied for treating e.g. veterans and victims of sexual assault with PTSD. It is demonstrating some pretty amazing results. Not too unexpected if you've done either of those things before, thoug

Maybe. But maybe not. Stranger things have happened in history, and they really have. I'm going to go out on a limb here with some wildly uninformed speculation, but the people running the show in the PRC aren't normies. They are

In my experience, it's best to look at companies with Glassdoor reviews collectively along a single axis: Are they really bad? Or are they potentially not really bad? I usually try to find a shortcut along a path less traveled, and

It is sort of generally true that I usually find myself only using patterns to "fill in" functionality that isn't as easily achievable (or lacking completely) in a particular language. But being able to do this is incredibly

Of course, it's about plausible deniability and logistics: You can't launch your nuclear arsenal and then look deadpan at the camera and shrug your shoulders. But killing a third of the world's population with insects sounds

Actually, I am pretty good friends with a civil engineer that did something almost exactly like this for a friend of his. He did this in his spare time and having no prior experience with the niche industry and law his friend's company

No. This is wrong. I have built a handful of "gaming" rigs for Windows 10 over the last couple of years, and every single one of them had egregious, stupid problems with the hardware. I hate this bullshit "Nothing is wrong

It's interesting you didn't mention Docker once in all of that. I agree with most of what you said, but paying for Docker Enterprise gets you integration with k8s that makes the complexity tolerable and manageable, and also includ

Shhh! The last thing we need is some geezer or some kid shitposting on Twitter about how we ruined some damned thing with all of our amazeballs drug-fueled raves and dial-up BBSes.

Come again? Are you implying that we do not have a Fair Use in storing a local recording of a video broadcast for personal use? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Unive... .

Yes, but I would pay a thousand dollars for that device. And given the mediocrity principle, I am certain I'm not the only one willing to pay that much. And if we apply a layer of abstraction and talk about a Google Glass-like device,

Previous discussion about CTRL Labs [0]. I am very interested in this technology, and I actually went in on the Myo armband Kickstarter, hoping for something like this. As I've stated in the previous discussion, I generally like the My

Actually, I think early versions (like from pre-1.0 through maybe 1.5 or so) of Docker had some very high quality code and was also very pleasing to look at. It was very clean and super approachable and readable, and I felt sort of like how

I have owned Thinkpads since IBM days, testing the waters occasionally outside of the brand. My proposition is also a bit easier since I will only ever use Linux or FreeBSD (and never Windows or Mac). I stand by the W530, the P50, and most

I agree with your third paragraph, but I disagree with the others. But interestingly, where I slightly disagree with your third paragraph, it's because of reasons that essentially boil down to your first two paragraphs (heh). I feel th

Speaking of smells, my initial reaction is that Disparate Impact smells broken. I can see pretty clearly how it would be possible to argue legally that advertising a job internally and not externally (to a company) is discriminatory. And fo

It seemed like such a stupid patent because it was a stupid patent . These are exactly the kinds of patents that represent what's wrong with our patent system.

You jest, but having worked in the ad tech industry, I can say this is actually a completely viable means of tracking people. This is why you don't load uBlock Origin into your Tor Browser or use a custom User-Agent string while using

Totally. I've always felt that's the price for having the Linux kernel be what it is today. Just imagine what kinds of shit would get merged into the kernel if it was run by a council of submissive, overly-polite people with sof

Huh, weird. For me it was the inverse. I barely saw anything but the text of the article, presumably because of uBlock Origin.

There were two whole qualifiers in my statement, half of which you ignored. Self-promotion is obviously okay. However self-promotion of bland, boring posts that regurgitate nearly useless information which has been posted hundreds of times.

This does not belong on HN at all. 1) It is not novel or interesting and 2) it is made worse through being self-promotion. Do not make posts like this. Edited to add: But to scratch the stupid itch I tried hard not to scratch and respond to
