Even though I am a frequent advocate of leaning on more old school techniques for building web apps (even with new school tools), I vehemently disagree that this is a generally worthy cause. A small list of (I think non-controversial) thing

> Being rated as someone who meets expectations is not a punishment. On a scale of 1, 2, and 3, where each of these confers different privileges, when I knock you down from a 3 to a 2 specifically because of X, I am punishing you for X.

Cryptocurrencies are valued as low as they are _because_ of the question of which cryptocurrency should have which percentage of the economy. It's arbitrary to make new ones. Even as increased adoption of cyptocurrency _in general_ is

Early in my programming career, I got a whiteboard question where, after being asked my hobbies, I was asked to diagram an electric guitar on the whiteboard. I don't know that it was a particularly good question. But all this sabre-rat

I did some contract work for FB around when this article was written. I don't think that nobody cares about clean code. It's more like... results will vary widely based on who reviews you. And the governing philosophy is more focu

Appeal to authority is not a logical fallacy. It's a valid argument unless said authority is false in some way.

I completely disagree that the speed isn't good enough to justify using them. In fact, my bounce rate is high on AMP because I can near-instantly figure out if this particular article on this topic I searched is the one I actually want

I don't see how you could look at what happened and how it was systematically brushed under the rug, then at what has happened since the article was published, and come to the conclusion that anything BUT outrage would drive a change a

To characterize #DeleteUber as a misunderstanding is a quasi-straw man argument. The author of that article picked the most vulnerable argument in favor of deleting Uber and focused on that to the exclusion of myriad others. Personally, I b

I had a Nano. I'm like 99% sure all the GP would have to do is tie a wire to the metal tab, and then he could bump the other end of the wire with any part of his body.

Can someone please explain to me why everyone says that Gnome went off the rails? Gnome 3 to me was, except for leaving behind a lot of legacy systems, an extremely usable and downright pretty UI. Menu, search, windows, and virtual desktops

This analogy doesn't work because you don't do manual heart surgery on yourself. Whether or not a robot does the surgery, the hospital's butt is on the line. The biggest difference between an autopilot accident and a traditio

NHTSA reports that 94% of all auto accidents involve driver error. Autopilot is a feature that reduces the number of decisions drivers make. It would be improbable for the two not to be extremely related.

by feedjoelpie 10y ago
This is a very simplistic way to look at it. We're in uncharted territory here. Did crash rates go down because driver error went down? Probably. So accidents for which the driver is liable go down a lot. And accidents for which the ca

I'm struggling to find a less snarky way to say this because it should be so obvious, but it turns out that real estate issues are frequently unique to their locations.

I am suddenly unreasonably angry that this exists. Not because of the product itself, which is clever. But because this is how normalized the u̶n̶r̶e̶g̶u̶l̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ illegal short term rentals have become, that especially in some tourist-hea

This is why I was so curious. Being a high school kid, you're completely ill-equipped to understand the nuances of these sorts of programs.

This is a stupid reply that has nothing to do with the topic: I had the NMS myself, and I'm assuming some college was going to give you an extra kicker since it's portable. Do you mind sharing which colleges? I'm weirdly curi

Unlike some others I do think that the concept itself is interesting/valuable. Proxy objects are going to make things pretty interesting in terms of data access in general. However, I do think it's a bit _too_ cute and clever to b

I think a lot of the GPU stuff has been largely solved in recent years, too. I have one and only one reason I will not use Linux on a laptop, and that is power efficiency. I have never managed to get any laptop to even 60% of the battery li
