That’s why Brave New World is a much stronger prediction. People don’t want the State to take their Freedoms because that’s not American. But when a Lucury&Socialization brand comes and promises to make your life Better for the low pric

We need a form that asks a bunch of metadata and whether you are satisfied with Apple brand cables. Share that widely (somehow?) and look for correlations. The biggest concern is the self selection bias… if you’re perfectly happy with the c

Between this and JEDI I get the impression Jeff feels he simply deserves things, regardless of the established protocols which decide he does not, and he’s more than willing to take the government to court to prove it. Maybe that’s just t

Huh. I’ve been to Salton Sea a couple times and always really enjoy it. Nice place to kayak, the mist over the sea with the surrounding mountains makes it very picturesque the right time of day, and there aren’t motorboats flying by every s

This is why I use the high contrast mode in MacOS. It ads nice solid black borders to all inputs. Originally I tried it out while fixing a bug, but now I can’t go back lest everything looks so monotonous and washed out.

It’d be annoying for every type used in a cache to need to properly implement __deepcopy__(), and it’d pose significant performance impact, especially if the cached objects are large (which there’s a good chance they are, given you’ve felt

What annoys me most is that the “infection clause” so often results in a strictly worse user experience. Take Audacity, it’s a fully open source piece of software, but to do lots of common operations in it you need to figure out how to link

I think that’s generally true of all descriptions of activities — we simply prefer to list the bad, as commiserating is more socially acceptable than “bragging” about how nice something is. See also: chewing fat over how work sucks rather t

Article seems to suppose the entities will only ever exist in one collection. If that’s the case then sure remap the field layouts to behave better in cache. But the second you want to reference only a single element of that collection, or

The Seattle method was to throw all of your random debris into the recycling bin at the end of your lease, because the trash cans are too small to hold anything. That way the next tenants get to deal with a recycling bin full of week-old ro

For a rough measure of how many packages will break if you perform a minor update to a dependency, try searching “Dependabot compatibility score” on GitHub (or just author:dependabot I suppose), each PR has a badge with how many public repo

Knowing whose airtag it is isn’t all that helpful in domestic abuse cases. My partner is a domestic abuse survivor, if there were an airtag found on her items we’d know exactly whose it is, but we’d still be scared for both of our lives, pr

That doesn’t change anything. The probability an important cup gets hit is always equal to the surface integral of the rain’s flux across the important cup openings. Whether there are unimportant cups nearby doesn’t change anything.
