Hrmn. I suspect many rich people were born that way, and paid no income taxes in utero.

This was a fantastic book, and the first thing I thought of when seeing the article.

It'd be interesting to know, say, what percentage of software developers work on programs that have less than a million users. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the majority. For every big-ticket software offering there

Any processor in any product you have has bugs. For instance, according to Intel's own documentation[1] there are 137 errata for "8th and 9th Gen Core" processors, including unpredictable behavior, hangs, security key exposur

> Most people can't afford to do effectively anything other than go to work and flop on the couch. You're definitely right about this for folks who are barely scraping by, working multiple jobs, etc. But for folks in IT, taking

Surely a man who is successful in his career can support his children in many ways. This is undoubtedly important to many men. But most men who strive for promotions surely have many reasons other than their children. Who doesn't wan

I want to agree with you, insofar as that being outraged over what appears to be a more precise weapon makes very little sense. On the other hand, it still seems horrible to kill people by remote control. Supposing it becomes possible to v

If you want a TV, is there any alternative? We got a new TV last year and I (joe shmoe average user) didn't see any that weren't smart.

Sure. But an awful lot of folks don't have a hundred web servers. If you're running something simple, you can pretty much use whatever you want.

Sure. Sadly my company's code base, and the vendor's tool that it extends, are not so well documented. A statically typed language gives just you so much more sanity checking -- sometimes even without having to compile anything,

Now I am really jealous, and want a hex version that introduces underscores for every group of four...

Yup. My copy of "sudo" has 23 documented command line switches, 15 documented environment variables that influence various behaviors, plugins(!), and can also use a configuration file for setting up paths, debugging tools, etc.

It would be great to add links to "RealmDB" and "GraphQL" for the uninitiated. (I have no idea what this project is about.)

Thanks, looks great. I need to get this hooked into Emacs!

Yes, exactly. It points out phrases like "frequent and productive collaboration with," which would be better as "worked with," or "highly efficient execution," which could be simplified to "fast."

MS's backwards compatibility is definitely great. It's probably also a big opportunity cost and a hindrance to them developing new things. Tradeoffs everywhere.

This is actually really useful. I just ran this as a sanity check on a long document I wrote, and it pointed out a bunch of lousy writing. Even better, it seems you can use it with the Hemingway App ( http://www.hemingwayapp.com

On desktop, if you hover over the "bullshit", it shows you what word was replaced. May not work on mobile, I guess.

Er, what? The harasser is aggressive and bitter? They harass people in real life? It sounds like they have some problems. Maybe they can go work on themselves and come back to the community when they're ready to be civil. We wouldn

I suppose you could interpret it that way. It reads to me more like a statement of values, going forward.

This is a really good point. Not sure I'm in favor of UBI when there is so much work we could be doing to fix the mess we've made.

From a corporate perspective, I think you're absolutely right, this kind of thing will never be profitable. From a state perspective, being reliant on other countries for your electronic may seem like such a threat to your ability to r

I suspect Americans think trains are an awful experience not because of the trains, but because there will be other people on the trains. It's one part "don't make me interact with a human," and one part "white peo
