The article heavily implies that it was a “yeah…nah” thing but does very little investigative work that could corroborate their anonymous witnesses. For all we know, there was a school shooting or a spate of suicides in which case I think e

Wouldn’t the generic term be ECMAscript? I realize that that is a stupid name that no one wants to use.

C++ doesn’t force you to pay for anything you don’t use so you can just use the C++ compiler at that point and change the few incompatibilities between C and C++. That said…I agree that there is a lot of syntactic sugar that could be added

You already have to show ID to see rated-R movies in the US. I don't see how this is any different.

Why don't we all speak Esperanto? Inertia. Well, also because Ido is the superior language. But also inertia, yes.

Borderlands 3 was 2019. Homeworld 3 has a 38% on Steam and sold poorly. I highly doubt it ever received patches or optimizations. Again, these feel unbelievably arbitrary, as if someone just wanted to push a narrative.

Borderlands 3? Homeworld 3? Who chose these games? Why not just use the current top 10 on Steam atm?

The US practice of patents helps incentivize inventors to study and innovate so that they see an ROI when they sell to a large company able to handle exploiting a defending a patent. If you wanna try to make a company on your own around you

1. Fountain pen and a nice notebook with nice paper (Mnemosyne, or Rhodia) Spending money is overrated. The pen at the back of your junk drawer from a hotel you don’t remember staying at will do just fine. There’s a notebook in there too

This is my issue with it too. If you’re a good student, then you’re done with any book that even hints at its own self-importance by the time you graduate high school.

I’ve seen this Iranian engineer myth perpetuated ad nauseum on every social network for the last 24 hours and never before that, as if a desperate attempt to repaint the country as anything but a failed state. The reality is that Iran has b

I had the same expectation myself but now everyone will be looking out for that type of attack.

so we should expect that to compel the majority of Iranians to rally behind their government in the face of a brutal foreign invasion by not one but BOTH of their standard-bearer arch-nemeses. Organized how? There’s no internet. I hope Ki

You say that but Iran couldn’t even escalate their rhetoric post-strike because “Every American is now a legitimate target” is now a tired refrain rather than a feared declaration. The lesson here is not to make idle threats against half of

This does appear to be an application of Goodhart’s Law (when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure). Affordable housing is neat but it implicitly encourages infinite housing be built and does nothing to address employm

iPhone Shortcuts can get you surprisingly far. I agree that building hobbyist apps has too high of an entry barrier in the Apple ecosystem but Shortcuts handles CRUD stuff with ease.

There are legitimate use cases where you would want first-party support from Oracle and would be willing to pay for it. I know we clown on those who didn’t just start with OpenJDK but let’s not forget that Oracle actually sells a top-tier p

I’m not a fan of newspapers allowing their platforms to be used by federal officeholders for announcements. RFKJr has a much larger and better platform for this as a high-ranking member of the federal government. There’s no reason for him n

It’s smart to be using a VPN for any sort of adult internet use these days anyway. Vixen Media Group is extorting people by threatening to leak their identity if they don’t pay up[0]. And not by a 3rd-party collections company either - it’s

The only time typing speed has helped me is when people try to gish gallop me when I’m messaging them and I’m able to gish right back faster than they can respond. That’s…not exactly healthy though.
