Do you make sure to never copy code from Stack Overflow because the submissions may be copied from somewhere else?

I remember years ago my friend was gong to college for CSCI and had to write a malloc for a course. He procrastinated till the last... night... and wrote it. In the free() routine, he simply wrote "return true;". The TA's uni

I've been living this horror for six years. If I could just magically stop using medicine and not being treated like a drug addict for merely taking prescribed medicine by all walks of society (from cops, to nurses, to neighbors), don&

I'm standing here, in awe, that you literally wrote that on a comment. Like... you actually believe merely having UHC will somehow stop stupid people from either 1) being disgusting or 2) being too stupid and forgoing vaccinations. Lik

This. If it was that easy we'd already be doing it on all our desktops and servers.

The answer seems pretty obvious. Make notifications and autoplaying vidoes OPT-IN. A site requests the feature, and a little icon pops up on the far right of the URL bar. The user has to know to click that button to allow notifications, or

Gizmodo is running an article about how THIS is the dangerous thing Google that will destroy the web. http://gizmodo.com/chrome-will-soon-block-autoplay-videos-wi... I can't stop laughing.

While I'm sure that's partly sampling bias. The truth is, Powershell has a lot of flaws. Both in the program itself, as well a the language decisions. And I _REALLY_ like the idea of an object-oriented piping system. I would love

Not to mention when you can crowdsource banning content, competitors will intentionally flag content that competes.

That graph is so bad people are going to discuss it more than the article itself.

Don't you love how people here seem to parrot whatever cliche talking points that come from the standard left reading magazine stand? Salon, Huffington Post, Mother Jones (dear god), MSNBC and CNN. They'll do a PR blitz with no su

I'd love to live in your head for a day. It'd make for a great fear-based novel since you can somehow link a travel ban with... "the implication" ... the implication being "Yada yada holocaust." And at no point

I wish they would. Does anyone think all the Microsoft engineers and managers started off wanting to be known as evil monsters and having to explain to their friends and families "I'm not evil!" every week? Google has become

I took two courses in ODE. I got an A in the first semester. I still have no idea what they are or what's going on. It's all just relationships and patterns to me--but with no intuition or understanding behind them. It never &quot

Ah... the pre-Eric Holder Department of Justice. I'm not even kidding. Look it up for yourself. The Bush DOJ took down Enron even when it destroyed people's pensions. Meanwhile, Wall Street destroyed the country's economy req

Microsoft is too busy being a dumpster fire to be evil. I install and maintain their products for a living. I have horror stories upon horror stories representing weeks (if not months) of dev time to work around--including writing a custom

I've watched entire episodes of anime in RM format in highschool that were smaller than the majority of apps these days. Not just smaller, but like... a 4X smaller or more.

Everyone keeps saying this, and it's probably true. What I don't get is... why the hell these libraries everyone is using don't support MODULAR compilation. Why are they including stuff people aren't using? I'm not

That's cool that you can afford $500+ for a phone. But the rest of us just want to use a phone with a couple apps. We can't afford phones like that, and high market-share apps shouldn't be designed for the top 1% of phones ow

Adding onto this comment because people are latching onto the wrong part. It's a greedy search. Just because you optimize for your local best interests, doesn't mean the COMMUNITY will benefit overall and the ecosystem itself suff
