It seems like the correct response for these "reimplementation" types of criticism is to encourage the person to do so and share the results. I have, for personal gratification, attempted (with varied success) to reimplement sever

Thanks for this. It seemed like they were all cut about the same. At first I thought they might all be from the same brand, but the picture with the background using the same fabric as his shirt squashed that theory. They had to be hand-mad

The rate of unarmed people killed by police has gone down, true. But that chart only shows the latest 5 years. It seems like historical context would be valuable. And if I recall, the sources for those numbers are disputable, as there is no

I would think we have the models to try many different strategies to determine the "best" distribution methodology. Depending upon what the definition of "best" is, of course.

In deaths, somewhat true. But in cases, the US in the upper-eschelon!

Wow, you are really good at this. Let the "geniuses" figure out that to do 10k transactions/sec with processes that can handle 1 transaction/sec would take.....10k processes. Sure, doable, in specific contexts, given eno

I kept waiting for him to post a video for the U800 kids. That's about my level right now.

I doubt the WHO is unaware that asymptomatic carriers of the virus exist. There might be some debate as to how much they are doing the spreading of the virus, but it's a numbers game. Right now, masks are a severely limited resource.

I'm fascinated by the quote from Carmack: >>The joke here is that if we ever do a CD version of DOOM, you are going to get the game and “The Making of DOOM” a one hour feature film. I would pay good money for a proper documentary

Interesting. I wonder if we could get Kei Cars more common in North America if there were sufficient incentives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car

I would imagine that a build machine for Office 97 would be of the pre-ATX days and have the switch wired directly to the power supply. Like a clicker-style pen, those power buttons were often push-on-push-off, and occasionally the mechanis

Another possibility was doing FOD walks. It would include pilots and maintenance crews as well.

I just attempted to unlock my work-issued laptop with Windows Hello with my eyes shut. Worked perfectly, recognized me without issue. Guess I'll have to disable that now. :(

I can guarantee you that if I saw something stolen from me on CL I'd be certain to reclaim my gear. One way or another.

If I can demonstrate that the results of my "crazy" homeschooling is commensurate with (or surpasses) those of public schools, then what difference does it make. Yes, public school teachers have skills. Do those skills apply direc

> Do you think that being a teacher is easier than being a medical doctor? What the hell does that matter? Look, I'm not saying there isn't value to public education. And I'm not saying that educators don't provide a

But if the kids have a doctor in the family...they're being examined by a medical doctor. The idiots that don't take their kids to the doctor...are idiots. Let's NOT institute forced doctor visitations (with all the cost, ove

Despise? Maybe some, but probably as many religious folks who despise nonbelievers. What are nonbelievers dogmatic and disillusioned about, exactly?

Religion is "bad" in the eyes of many for completely legitimate reasons, not just because of the opportunity for fraud.

I noticed that the author called out several contracting firms instead of "real" tech companies. Can't help but wonder if things really are that messed up on that side of the fence.

True, but my experience is that managers are not so great at recognizing consistent good results but often remember someone coming through in a clutch situation. Because measuring developer performance is hard, the consistently good dev is

I had the same experience. They hold your previous years' filings hostage for some fee. While I admit it was my fault for not having my previous 1040 handy at the time (It was somewhere "safe" and mildly inconvenient) this pr

It seems like most van conversions are optimized to be inconspicuous. It's no schoolie, but a shuttle bus is certainly more eye-catching than an Econoline. Do you have issues blending in or getting additional (unwanted) attention?

How about they just provide clean markup and directly mine cryptocurrency on my box instead? At this point, I'd welcome that over slow performance of the actual content and being compelled with ads.
