I think the article makes a good point, and implies another. The point was “who under age x watches tv” where x is 40, 50 or so. Most people, including this old fart, consume their news on-line from closer to the source. CNN reads like P

It’s an expat from and an immigrant to. In the case of the us, these government works hard to keep track of their expats for tax reasons. You can state your point of view with the use of either term.

Ask somebody from the west coast or north of Maryland how they were treated in the (deep) south, particularly if they’re not of Northern European extraction and you might get similar stories. People dislike difference, and some are just mo

Californian misses California, wants things to be like California. I can see how this would cause heartburn in smaller-town Germany, particularly if there’s not a reservoir of good will towards the military presence there. But I suspect i

How does / will Reddit make money? Selling ads? Harvesting data? Monthly subscriptions? Some combination of all three? I have difficulty imagining why anybody would pay a fee to join a bbs no matter how fancy it is. Might be just

I gave up reading as this feels like a business/financial article. Tech people, in my albeit limited experience, might not want to move up. They’re known by their technical skills and successes and they tend to be introverted vs. Bus

If the US company has a Canadian subsidiary, can you get into Canada to work? Same time zones and you would have time to figure out how to get into the US or remain in Canada if that's preferable. While there's a points-based sy

Nagumo's carrier force... I would think so as there's only 4 carriers to deal with. Two BC and two CA, and they might be a problem without a subsurface weapon, but if the carriers are neutralized the air is clear. The whole schm

Because it goes against their politics. But as the uk is learning, immigrants (legal or otherwise) perform jobs that the natives show no interest in doing for themselves. Restrict them, and they don’t occur so things rot in the fields or r

As I recall, the atomic raids did not do the most physical damage they were merely the most efficient by far. There is no comparison to the radiological damage. There are museums in Hiroshima and Tokyo that document these things. Kyoto was

Crosses are fine, just don’t badger people about crossism. Same with meccaism, scarfism, beardism and spagism. Do it, don’t badger or bother people about it. We get you’re into those things and we’ll return the favour and let you do them i

I don't think there's a first amendment right to tweet... I don't think I have to let anybody into my house to say what they want to say - there's no right to be heard. There's an obligatory xkcd if you look.

Is it so hard to segregate personal and work activities? Do the personal stuff, hobbies, religions, ... on your own time in your own place with your own group. When in the work environment, do work things and play well with others who pro

I’m not all that fond of being called “it”, so yeah, I have a pronoun preference. There’s a vaguely similar choice of prefix (?) such as dr mr mrs miss ms etc. I don’t like the miss/mrs distinction and use ms unless it pisses off the

I assume there are alternatives to Twitter when considering how to participate in social media? Surely pissed off Twitter users have options.

Being an ass, or ramming their religion down peoples faces tends to annoy people. He could have been secure in his beliefs, chosen he/him or whatever pronouns were appropriate and moved on. Most places in North America, I thought, wa

Companies either want to break worker power or have non productivity related reasons to get butts in seats (tax issues? Real estate? Sad bosses?). And they gotta stfu about climate and environment if they’re forcing commmuting at scale. B

Simple solution. If twitter is not (or no longer) acceptable to you, stop using it. Otherwise, by using it your content. It’s Musk’s toy. You know that so you’re making a choice.

Militaries for centuries have found that 10 people is the maximum effective size one leader can control (a squad). Given that, and when avoiding middle managers, that makes the max effective size of a company as about 100 people. Guess met

Can you suggest alternative articles that address multi process and multi threaded performance metrics? That would be be very helpful and appreciated.

A quick read suggests a problem multi-core on the m2. Does anybody have any benchmarks for multi threaded rather than multi process calculations / operations. I am curious whether this is a hardware bottleneck or a young compiler or a

Buy apple but not SGI or Sun. Consumer products will win in the end no matter what anybody says about them being toys. And don’t keep Sony stock too long. And those guys in Albuquerque will be a hit. Oh, the guy at DEC is full of shit a

I suspect both Russia and the US militaries have planes that could deliver the engine but that’s also somewhat problematical right now. FedEx might as well assuming 747 freighters. More problems. They need a non-aligned country that can

How to debug. How to decompose a problem into discrete steps. How to use abstraction. Clarity of expression. If you really want to make the money, look good in a suit and be the one who hires the developers and owns the stock.

I'm sure there was some kind of tool to share screens, maybe back to X11? IRC was used in the 90's to let people chat in 10+ groups. I can't remember all the unix-y things that floated about to network, nor all that Sun hel

Was thinking more of people stating that the job parameters were unilaterally changed on the fly. Hired for remote work, sorry, that's been changed, etc. Yeah, it's at will employment, but not everybody likes employment agreemen
