I'm not sure if you're assuming best intentions. If you do, it'd be nice to provide sources - to my knowledge, vision under non-optimal conditions (rain, snow, sunlight ahead) is only partially solved by resorting to sensors

I didn't want to argue laptops are becoming obsolete. In fact I think they'll become more important - the share of desktops + laptops is shrinking, but laptops are gaining disproportionally over desktops. Nevertheless, the importa

What I meant is: a few years ago, Windows was set - either you used Windows (usual) or MacOS (you got spare money), or you probably used Linux or something else (geek). In Server-Space, you mostly used either Linux or Windows ASP. Nowadays,

I'm curious if Intel will be able to turn tides in time before mainstream opinion follows reality. AMD is quite far ahead, ARM (not just with Apple M1) is a generation ahead, and Microsoft dominance (i.e. x86 dominance) is fading. Eith

We had one "special" team member who insisted on everything being idempotent. This was his only leading principle. Result: absolute chaos - the code aspired to be idempotent, but due to idempotency he avoided thinking problems thr

Sorry, but I can’t confirm your experience at all. Maybe I’m just lucky with my past jobs, but, aside from very junior reviewers, I never observed the „focus on style“ effect. Sometimes it comes as an addendum (like „and please fix the orde

Despite reading quite a lot about astronomy, comets and asteroids and the history of all of the three, I didn't get the distinction between asteroids and comets yet. I understand the composition makes the difference, but I didn't

As expensive as it is, datadog provides the required level of insight via, among other drill-down methods, detailed flamegraphs, to get to the bottom of problems like this one. No, not affiliated with datadog, and not convinced the cost&#x2

Honest response: whenever I read "Great question" (followed either by a full stop or exclamation mark(worse)) my mind goes to "bullshit marketing speak follows" mode. Especially when the answerer disclosed their affinity

Reality please don't bite me. This will probably be an Oxymoron :) An interesting question, to me, is: how would you (personally) react if such an controversial and stigmatized factoid would be proven true at more than 5 sigma? Would y

I despise the idea of differentiating between immigrants and natives. All people are equal. We all should be measured by equal terms. Quite often there are articles painting immigrants as innately good, which - to me - is the same racism

They are not. They are normal. Would-be opinion-forming bullshit articles are supporting the bad guys, by delivering easy to refute narratives which ultimately support immigrant haters. I'm so sick of this good/bad scheme predispo

My wife is a developer in the same company as mine (albeit in a totally different sub-orga). This is maybe the cause I don't share your experience (at all). She's the best paid person in her sub-orga. We're definitely lucky,

It's incredibly naive to assume NSA/* doesn't do the same, even if that affects your daily life as a human/business owner about as much. I despise the chinese government - may it concern Uighurs or the treatment of Tibet

I wouldn't be able to replicate your experience. My friends on twitter are either sidelining toxicity (by simply ignoring the usual in/outgroup messaging) or by just posting their (non-political, non-controversial, technical) stuf

Apparently this comment is wrong according to votes. Logically, I'm wrong by either: * assuming that Twitter is mostly toxic * or that avoiding toxicity isn't mental work What is it where I'm wrong, and if so, why?

by firebaze 6y ago
You're still supporting a platform where avoiding toxic content is active mental work.

From my perspective, twitter is toxic as hell, focused on out-group shaming, blaming and finally hating. HN is open discourse, focusing on respect. At least to me.
