There's no secret cabal. These are the assholes and idiots the idiot masses elect. If they really do think that drugs are bad and only bad people do them, they're even dumber than I thought, but I don't think they do. They th

Another casualty of our idiotic patent laws meeting our idiotic health care laws. Every single law is designed to improve profits at the cost of lives and in America, most people are totally ok with that despite what the article claims. The

A classroom (or any other place at a university) is not a private space ruled by students. It is the university's space that it uses to educate students who purchase an education from the university. The university has complete control

by joesmo 10y ago
Totally agree. The students can leave. They will get a zero. They will fail the course. They will eventually have to drop out. That's the natural order of things. But let's not pretend you can have a conversation with people that

Gotta find something to complain about when life is going so well or when life is not going so well but you have no control over the things that make it fail. People today, at least in the US, are incredibly scared of all manner of fictio

Never said anything like that, but to your point, who decides what's abusive? Because clearly, letting students decide that has prevented actual education from taking place, education that people are paying for and expecting to get. If

Citation is not needed because you can't learn something you can't discuss and you can't properly discuss anything with trigger warnings and safe spaces. I guess we traded trigger warnings and safe spaces for logic in schoo

I think this should be a requirement for any university that wants accreditation and certainly all state-run institutions. This is a bold statement not for the Uni. of Chicago, but for every other university that does not have a similar pol

Every single one that goes to the ground, so pretty much all of them. If you want to simulate real life, going to the ground is an immediate loss as the guy's buddy will hit you over the head and kill you. So not only do MMA fighters l

Yeah, I whitelist things like github, gmail, etc. But it's a very short list. Everything else loads without JS by default. I can turn it on with a click if I want to so it's a minor inconvenience when I reach a site and I need it.

I'm not going to wait for legislation to fix problems I can fix myself. You don't want this to happen? Make sure you have ad-blocking and third party tracker blocking on. I go a step further and use 'Quick JS Switcher' f

Are people at the company actually taking at least 3 weeks of vacation every year? No? It's a fucking scam. This test works every single time.

So true in America. I hate that quote so much because reality is the opposite.

Magento is a horrible app with one of the worst ORMs in existence. You've clearly never used it if you're touting it as an example of what to do. Because Magento is a laundry list of what not to do. ORM, EAV, XML config. Drupal ma

Doctrine 2 also often spends 10x the time on post-processing the data from the database as it does actually making the database calls itself (it's not fixable without dropping to straight SQL out of the ORM). Its query language is at

A stupid idea is stupid regardless of language. Whether the community sees that or not also reflects on the community.

At over a dozen PHP jobs in over ten years, I've never seen a real application without a framework be anything but fucking garbage. Garbage. You know it's going to be garbage when some idiot tells you not to use a framework but

I'm not surprised. Amazon treats its customers like shit. They sell a lot of shit products from China especially that break immediately and they don't care. They do NOT have a refund policy like the one you claim other people viol

LOL. Don't worry. The current state of Yahoo and their CEO clearly proves you're right. But remember, many people here make a living by pushing others to unhealthy extremes. This is their entire job. So of course they will downv

I don't think you really understand the amount and magnitude of hate and cruelty in this country, especially hate for the poor and nonwhite, especially in the south. Rejection of Medicaid expansion is just one of many ways this hate an

I wonder what goes on in the minds of politicians and people alike when they campaign against something like Medicaid expansion. I'd like to think they don't realize they are campaigning for the deaths of many of their neighbors,

It seems to me that such laws punish people for associating with certain individuals who go on to commit crimes, requiring everyone to essentially be psychic or predict others' actions correctly 100% of the time to stay on the right si

"I used to have the illusion that software was supposed to get better over time." Well there you go. That's the author's problem. He's caught up in an all-too-common delusion. Of course software gets worse with time

“We are aware of this matter, but the specific Terms of Service violations are ones we cannot discuss further due to legal considerations.” Bullshit. They're lying like most other companies in similar positions (Amazon comes to mind).

Yes, exactly. I'm totally serious. Considering Microsoft's actions up to this point vis a vis Windows 10, it's hardly a stretch of the imagination that they'd do that. It's amazing how many issues in technology come

The lf version comes with red mx switches. It's not just the keys though, as the position of the keys helps immensely.
