I feel like when people say "that's not art" as a criticism, they really mean "this work and works like it are no art, and therefore I don't like it because it's not art." I don't get the impression m

I'm not much of an artist, but I dislike people defining what is and is not art. I feel like it often takes on a level of snobbery or elitism. "My child could have painted that!" in regards to a painting that sold for $1.5m.

If somone followed someone else around all day and yelled obscenities at them, there are laws to punish the perpetrator. If someone followed you around everywhere you went on the internet and comment and messaged and posted obscenities at y

So let's say in some future everyone is always wearing AR. Now let's some someone somehow got derogatory terms to constantly float above your head. There are negative impacts from this: loss of job, harder to meet people, unable t

My reason for citing something illegal is this is 1) this is a case where it is more likely to be used, and 2) it's still wrong here, so in cases that are more grey, it should be definitely seen as wrong. However, your example doesn&#x

I'm pretty sure a cop claiming to smell weed is enough to search. Or it happens to be a K9 unit that stops them.

This is a good step forward, but until we (the citizens) are able to say that LEOs are no longer using parallel construction[0], this is a lot less helpful than it could be. This just means LEOs have to work a bit harder to mask their illeg

Telling a car manufacturer to design a vehicle that doesn't kill it's occupants ishardly totalitarianism. Calling it such does a disservice do everyone by conflating helpful laws with actually totalitarian things the government do

In the first graphic, it looked like the blue person was holding the laptop which was incredibly confusing and seemed totally impractical.

If you logged the stack at every step along with every variable in memory, yeah. The point of debugging like this is to not have to insert 40 log.trace() statements with 30 variables just to track it all down. It's interactive and does

Then decide right now that you want to be fit enough 30 years from now to mountain bike <insert local singletrack here>. What does that take? Probably the ability to pedal a bike with a heart rate of 150 for 3 hours. What does that ta

I'm not convinced the TSA is the best solution, but I still think bag checks helps. Let's say we "move the target" from on board a plane to the people clustered at the security check itself. A bomb goes off and kills 100

I have literally never heard it called OS Ten. Today I learned.

I was actually hoping it was an article about a CEO who lived in a bona fide trailer park because he really didn't give a shit about luxury. How disappointed I was.

Clickbait title. It should read: Why this CEO is worth almost $1 billion but lives in a trailer park he owns that is specifically for techy coder types

I said "reasonably." I at least followed the trail to The Intercept and figured the stat was in there somewhere.

My tone above is clearly one of doubt, thus saying "just like there are some residents of middle eastern nations that want to kill American civilians, there are some Americans who want to kill middle eastern civilians." > I don

(warning: anecdote) I knew a guy who joined the US Marines and talked about how he wanted to "shoot towel heads." I don't believe that the US armed forces are purely virtuous at the top, bottom, or in between levels. There li

How do you see anything as credible evidence unless you saw it yourself? HuffPo is a (reasonbly) credible new source that links to The Intercept that built its articles from the Drone Papers. I didn't go independently verify every fact

I think it's more than that. A college is worth $X because its graduates go on to Do Great Things. Now suppose there's only 10 colleges in the world. 9 inflate grades to a 3.8 average and 1 keeps it at 3.0. Who is going to get hir

Sure, there's probably an more effective way of differentiating students, but at the end of the day, you'll just have another system that can be gamed somehow. P/F is simplest approach, and sometimes worse is better.

At my university (UCSB '12), grades were close to meaningless. I got a BSc in Math and graduated with a 2.8 (or lower?) because I loaded up on upper division math courses. I had friends who got 3.9's because they got a BA in commu

There's a difference between "correct" and "how people actually talk." I was offering a correction because when learning a language, you don't want to sound like textbook. Sure, it's all technically correc

Man sagt "capable of reading" und nicht "capable at reading." Tut mir leid, wenn das unhöfflich ist, aber ich gehe davon aus, wir alle besser schreiben wollen. :)

Maven is an archaic, verbose nightmare compared to SBT. SBT can be annoyingly esoteric at times, but even for the simplest thing like "add these JARs and compile," SBT wins over Maven, no question.

At least with an API, people seem to care more about consensus and seem to agree that it should be planned out. "Just make it work" seems to happen to the guts. And no, not panacea, just a way of thinking that I think is useful.

I'm not dogmatic about either. 1000 microservices sounds... excessive. I was countering the point that optimizing for speed might lead to less maintainable infrastructure.

by heartsucker 10y ago
I think monoliths lend themselves to hacks more often than microservices do. It's too easy to just import something you shouldn't, where as breaking the rest API is a lot harder. You can't just do a bad database access becaus
