Paris was the cultural shot in the arm I needed. All the stores in Australia only stock RBG biographies and diaspora navel-gazing with titles like "The Grapes My Mother Squeezed." I don't know if it's on the map, but the

Damn, I was expecting the "drought" to carry on indefinitely due to how strict ratings have become. As the article alludes to, a storm has to get lucky and hit something sturdy to prove its strength and get top marks. There have l

The classic ideal of terrorism—an underground cell engaged in asymmetric warfare for concrete political gains—hasn't existed since what, the IRA? All "terrorism" in the US occurs with varying degrees of foreknowledge and enco

The bro science I've heard around this is that emulsifiers and fake sugars aren't easily digested, and therefore sit around in the GI tract as fuel for pathogens. My mind was kinda blown recently when I couldn't find a single

Conversely, I'd imagine that conservatives are more likely to "experience a crisis of faith" than their counterparts. And remote jungle tribes are more likely to be hexed by a witch doctor than either cohort. You have to buy

It's 100% a problem of dynamic range for me. I dunno how 128 channel cinematic spectaculars are mixed down to stereo, but I wouldn't mind a little compression. Can home releases offer an alternative "pleb mix" or somethi

How is Discord simultaneously a "centralized privacy nightmare" but also the platform of choice for every pedo and terrorist? Couldn't you just sweep 90% of them up with a little SQL querying? At this point one has to conside

A late reply, but thanks for sharing this. The names in the table of contents alone suggest that I'm in for a good read.

The donation I sent Ron Paul in 2008 has wound up being the most expensive $10 I've ever spent.

I am not particularly fond of jazz myself. I've logged way more plays of Incapacitants than Mr. Coltrane, but his name seems to come up every time I study harmony. These alternative systems have been a creative boon for me, regardless

I could hardly believe it, but I've witnessed multiple men trying to navigate the mean streets over there in Hummer H2s. They were all driven by the Japanese equivalent of "Deano" if that makes any sense: young, hair immacula

Is that true? It seems like this was more of a complete non-issue in the last election, suddenly implemented once Labor secured power again. I'm not saying your hypothetical popular support is unrealistic, but I don't think anybod

My wife suggested we go to a Latin mass in Paris, and we (in our 30s) were some of the oldest congregants there. Everyone was oddly handsome and there was lots of Barbour. The vibe was unfriendly on the whole; they knew we didn't belon

I'm under the impression that women's only spaces are very much frowned upon in the English speaking world, whether it be in sports, book awards, knitting circles, toilets, or prisons. This isn't an x-has-it-worse comment by

Total fucking cunts. With any luck their proclivity for overly tight suits will prevent them from reproducing.

Thanks for this, a few Qs though 1. How does this compare to the MUNGG stack? 2. When can we expect compatibility with Curlew templates? 3. I get cryptic build errors when I add Seieki.js as a dependency. Has anybody else experienced this?

I don't know what you're writing, but this sounds like language smell. If you can represent errors as data instead of exceptions (Either, Result, etc) then it is easy to see what went wrong, and offer fallback states in response t

Like other bad ideas (TDD) it seemed to rise to prominence during the heydey of Ruby and untyped JS, when it was so much easier to fuck everything up. I think lots of managers haven't written a line of code since then and still hold su

Sorry, but I don't buy it. It's not like we're milking a secret golden algorithm. If all my company's code were open sourced tomorrow, I don't think a competitor could do much with it, since they'd just be pres

If I paint a picture on a physical canvas, I can charge people to come into my house and take a look. If I bring the canvas to a park, I'm not entitled to say "s-stop looking at my painting guys!" If you're worried about

The author is correct in many ways. Publishing seems like a textbook example of "the longhouse." But even if his ideal author wrote his ideal novel, would any of his peers read it? Almost every educated, polite, and competent man
