Not managing my time wisely. I keep choosing escapism over learning/reading and that is impeding my learning of new tools/languages/etc that can help me get a new job/better pay. I've been "drifting along"

Would there have been a non-lethal alternative protocol for the officer to follow, such as a different placement of the initial shot? Is it possible the situation could have been stopped without killing the child? I ask this question sincer

Hrm, I am guilty of not following through to the source articles, probably because Ars is usually a source I trust. The articles I have read about this situation up to now have been so far from the actual truth of the situation. I did not k

Of course, tech reporters everywhere yet again writing misleading headlines. Google says it is that much faster, but only for certain operations, for instance, ones "involving nearly 1,000 binary variables". It is unknown how this

A flavor of Ubuntu (usually Lu or Xu) or Manjaro. For a portable OS (and may switch to it as main linux OS) I really like Porteus.

For the record, I just got it. Must have been rolling out at a certain pace.

I wasn't sure what to expect from VSC, especially going into it I was worried that it would just be a MS-branded, bloated version of an already-slow Atom. My expectations were completely wrong, though. VSC is not bloated or slow. It&#x

I can't seem to get prompted for the new version? Is it rolling out?

Or maybe for some of us it's okay to use a closed ecosystem as long as we understand the limitations that come with it? Maybe it's worth it for what we perceive as the benefits of such a system? "Age is a bad excuse" Do

Sure, if you only interpret "win" as "able to come home". Your entire rationale regarding it "not being a win" is through this narrow lens. Maybe it's a "win" philosophically, judicially (however

The money they perceive to be saving for the taxpayer, will be paid by the taxpayer in other ways when the person is in debt after getting out and needs public assistance. Is there any proof this reduces recidivism? I would doubt so. It onl

The one thing that could actually make the browser decent is the one thing they delay. Naturally. So frustrating.

Tsu.co looks very similar to a pyramid/MLM scheme. When there's a growing tree of users making money from inviting other users, that is encouraging behavior that will end up being very spam-like, as has already been proven by user

How many times in the past few years have we heard about "new battery technology" that was coming soon and would revolutionize the industry? Too many, and none of them ever seem to come to fruition.

Usually for most languages there are more advanced texts that skip the basics. I know I've seen them, though I don't have concrete examples at the moment.

Nitrosamines are a known carcinogen, I just don't know how much of them are needed to be a significant risk. Nitrite/Nitrate is used in a lot of cured and processed meats, but its amount is limited by law in the US. When they comb

I am bad at managing my time after work. My current job leaves me drained at the end of the day so then I chase after escapes (like gaming or Netflix). I have a good grasp on HTML/CSS and a bit of PHP and JS, but everything else (despi

Reminder: headlines are rarely truly representative of the article beneath them. Of course they will use tweets, retweets, and other signals as data that help inform them about a person of interest. Why is this surprising? This person was n

We initially may have seemed to have different ideas of "simplicity", because I certainly agree that if using a framework works for a site, and allows you to re-use code to avoid extra lines (like the extra CSS, jQuery, etc. you m

It's annoyingly bad at this point. You know it's gotten bad whenever new frameworks are coming out where being "minimal" is a feature. Page loads are very large on some sites now, where they don't have to be. Though

The financials had to be calculated. That is a given. But what about the psychological/social implications? It seems that would be a far more important side to consider.
