I've been noticing this in myself, I think it's boils down to conservation of energy. But boy could I have saved a lot of effort by spending a bit more a bit sooner to hone some beliefs.

Assuming everything is an ad is absurd; and resigning yourself to pessimism won't lead to better outcomes. It's important to know the incentives involved in the creation of a piece of information.

The people who write this code need to fucking smarten up. If you're being blocked don't try to circumvent it. Minute scroll and mouse movement data is biometric data.

I'd take a couple different checkouts for a 30% discount on some goods. The problem for me is if I can only get their goods through their checkouts. I do think the 30% is a bit absurd on reflection. I think OP properly framing it as 30

Pretty specific stereotype you got there with the homeless schitzophrenic. I don't think anyone is worried about stereotypes being applied when determining how far to get away from someone with a knife, though I imagine black people ex

I am much more miffed about the Independent Repair Provider Program than this, perhaps because I don't yet know how I feel on this. (and because the IRPP feels like a plain fuck-you to everyone involved, this at least has nuance) It&#x

This comment reads as "This is normal; nothing to see here move along". Which is more of an indictment on the state of things than on the comment itself. If you can't protect people's shit, don't offer to hold onto

They just meant in terms of "x language is typically used for tasks y, z". Of course you can do most all things in most all languages, but often times you can infer CRUD/web dev from PHP, for example, and would be far less li

That's a pretty cynical outlook imo, these aren't the new John Deere tractors. If/when my 11P EOL's half-way through the 20's I hope we'll have good enough homebrews to get Linux running like people do now on t
