I wonder if this attitude was a thing when CS was first introduced as a major. At the time it must have looked like someone basically took a tiny part of electrical engineering and made it into it's own field of study.

I don't understand trackpoint. I've tried flat & adaptive pressure profiles and a mix of different sensitivities. I always overshoot what I'm trying to click on a tiny bit. With a macbook touchpad, that just doesn't

This is really just trying way too hard to make the best of a shit situation. I know what you're saying, but consider the implications that this argument has for women in the bay area. So as a straight man, fierce competition presumabl

I think you're just misusing that quote... At the end of the day, for any given datastructure setup, an algorithm still needs to be implemented. There's many ways to slice that pie, and depending on how you do it, that can cause a

This is exactly how I felt. The whole thing is like a stream of consciousness experience without any central story or narration. I couldn't take it. It's like one big infomercial or something

Just separating it based on religion is weird. I feel like in a 1-sentence tl;dr you should at least mention the Ottoman empire from 1299-1923 (ended in WW1).

I can't agree with excellent build quality. It's nice, but it's still far away from the mbp. The case flexes a bit more, the hinge isn't as smooth as the mbp, and if you use it directly on your lap in a weird position (l

I'm a software engineer. I code in vim and use Ubuntu on my desktop which I built myself. I say all of this to give the reader context for how I tend to interact with tech. I'm 24. I do a lot of texting, and a lot of the time it&#

Most student debt is owned by the US Federal Government. "In 2010, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated 55% of loans fell into this category. Between 2011 and 2016, the share of privately originated student loans fell by nea

Just wanted to note that listening to music through earbuds while driving is illegal. I generally believe that laws only need to be enforced when reasonable. But this law actually sounds reasonable...

I mean you're totally 100% right, but I don't think he wrote that with the intent of harm. I think in his post is a more serious issue. Academic papers are incredibly hard to understand. I received an undergrad degree in CS and sp

I don't care how good the sawstop technology is. I still am super nervous around a table saw. I think for most people the fear is still there.

So I think you're right. But that doesn't mean you can't be nice to people who are wrong. Often times these people hate ideas or opinions because those ideas challenges their perceived identity or values. Often these people a

But you can only do that with so many people. Facebook is more convenient. And it has the random factor. Sometimes there's a friend d who you weren't super close with but always thought well of. With Facebook you can see when they

I'm atheist Jewish and was raised with a conservative upbringing. I can think of at least like 3 different numbers in Judaism that have special meaning, and none of them are 6. I don't remember anything about the number 6. Also co

You're right, and it's possible that fighting incorrect facts might be a losing fight. A news article can have many correct facts, it only needs one lie that fell through the cracks in order to bias the readers. Talk to anyone fro

I think once you know this math, the jump to using matrices is pretty trivial. I can understand not wanting to include it... not that I feel strongly about either direction. I just don't think it's necessary for the scope of this

Small companies can now develop phone modules and release products with more advanced technology in a specific area (battery tech, camera, etc) without designing the rest of the phone. It would ideally be compatible with any unipro phone. T

>Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on
