Dehumanizing people, what an awful human being. > hammer and sickle Why am I not surprised. His coworkers probably treat him the way he complains about because it is usually his fault and he's insufferable at work.

I personally love TUI software, you don't have to worry about GUI toolkits, mouse focused interaction, you can run them remotely over SSH, they're often composable, and composability is much easier, and who doesn't like the h

Yes. I'm an avid qutebrowser user, and I have a voracious appetite for learning, reading, and perpetually unfinished projects. So I created a tool to help me organize information in qutebrowser very effectively and I use it daily. It&#

If you've worked in environments dominated by unions you most certainly know that that story wasn't fabricated. I had a friend that worked show sites, comic con and stuff like that. She told me that in some states, when they set u

It could have been a lie. It was most certainly not a threat.

So this decision hinges on construing his statement as a threat. If anything makes the consortium trying to get rid of the NLRB look right, this is it.

Remote work is the future of work that you don't need to be physically present at a location to do. You'd be surprised by some things you do need to be physically present to do, even if it's only sometimes, so there will be a

Well, with people doing whole home solar, that wouldn't be an issue. You'd just need an inverter to power some appliances in the kitchen. At the very least, LED lighting hardwired into the home would drop electric usage by double

On a slightly unrelated note, why do we manufacture "bulbs" that contain their own ballast/inverter that screw into a 110 socket? Why do we sell everything with an external or built in adaptor, to plug into a 110 socket? It s

I've got s pretty great solution to this kind of stuff, one that works for me anyway. If I want something that doesn't exist bad enough, I make it. I release it to the world for free. When I need an improvement, I make the improve

You would've been right like 15 years ago, but it's changed a lot since then. I live in a place with a pretty sizeable homeschooling community. I didn't come here for that, coincidentally I want to do that for my children as

It is. And how could it not? It's mostly a single payer babysitting program. Teachers can't do anything about unruly children except call the police. A whole class has to slow down to accommodate the below average kids. We spend o

I've studied bitcoin for over a decade. Deeply. I can talk about ECDSA and the emergent consensus behavior that emerges from the architecture. I can talk about the economics and monetary policy in detail. I like to think I've got

I don't get it either, when I experience what you talk about I just laugh and sometimes ask my friends how they feel about it. Remember, it's normal to them. It's also amusing to see how TV advertising has evolved (or devolve

Specifically, Markovian means that the probabilities of potential future states are dependent on the current state only. This is memoryless (more specifically, it has what's called the Markovian property) because no past states have an

This word you used, "independent" has a term in these kind of probabilistic systems, its called "memory". A system is memoryless if the next outcome is not dependent on previous outcomes. A coin flip is such a memoryless

People won't go back to piracy. Most of the people that subscribe to Netflix weren't really pirates. Maybe they had a friend that would burn them a DVD on request, or got the number of some guy who sold bootleg DVDs. They'd p

There are reasons why you'd choose bitcoin over your example, ethereum. For one, supply of ethereum is not deterministically predictable. As money, that makes it less compelling. Some other technical details are very short block time m
