I am deriding the sort of discourse that topics like this usually produce, not the people making the arguments. It's certainly possible that the public debate over kids' football will largely be apolitical and civil and productiv

Has "whether you let your kids play football" joined the long, long list of boolean values that separate members of the Red Tribe from the Blue Tribe? If not, I think it's inevitable that it will. Someone will try to get the

The gist of this editorial is, "That study said that the minimum wage hike led to businesses laying people off, but that didn't happen where I work at Domino's, we're hiring." And since she brought it up, it does s

Whoops! Did not expect just being in the comments of a post to /. it that bad. It's hosted with a friend on a not-so-modern platform so the bandwidth limit is not that high. Back up now, and I broke the path to the silly stock p

I'm a QA guy, which may come out in some of the jokes, e.g.: Ineptech CEO Dick Hallerson wishes to apologize for describing the Quality Assurance group as a "necessary evil." Mr. Hallerson did not mean to imply that QA is nec

Thank you! I had a ton of fun with that, so there are a lot of cute details to find. (For example, check out where the social media "share" buttons on the blog posts go)

I made Word Nazi, which is essentially just a dirty version of Taboo (in the same way that Cards Against Humanity is a dirty version of Apples to Apples) in app form. Lessons learned: * I should've paid someone to do some decent graphi

Just for another perspective, I intentionally left voice commands off of my mirror because the last thing I wanted was another thing to interact with, mere feet away from my laptop, phone, tablet, etc. Instead, I treat mine exactly like a

Never used FireOS, but I assume you'd just use the Android windowsmanager. Code (from my smart mirror, which I posted here a year ago and no one cared) here, line 190: https://github.com/ineptech/mirror/blob&

Oddly, I find juvenile-ness of this rather reassuring. Anyone who is using mod powers for surreptitious reasons (swaying public opinion, or discrediting opponents) has too much to hide to also use them for a silly prank. Of course it was s

If you love reading "I found a meteorite!" blogs, pretty soon you're going to find an odd rock in your back yard and think it's a meteorite. If you love reading "I found a UFO!" blogs, pretty soon you're g

The closest thing I know of is Scott Alexander's Reactionary Philosophy in an Enormous, Planet-Sized Nutshell [1]. It's more of an essay/argument than an impartial overview, but (besides being a good read by one of the sma
