Alternatively, after experiencing other modalities of friendship, you may realize that some of the men you're "friends" with are actually just bullying you, and dump them. I imagine that when you stand up to them, your frenem

To add, depending on the context, this could also be a sign of controlling behavior. Policing who your partner is friends with is pretty classic controlling behavior, but insisting your partner not be friends with their preferred gender is

I can sympathize with that, I'm very particular about some elements of my workflow. But when you decide to go homegrown rather than turnkey, you do accept responsibility for maintenance. It also seems to me that you can call Cargo from

I'm not saying there's no license to correct them, but that the substance of a disagreement is unlikely to be about definitions (and wasn't in this case). I think arguing about what terms mean is largely a distraction. All wo

Or a false premise, perhaps (from which anything follows).

It's a tradeoff between robustness to transient errors and reporting errors quickly. "Most errors are transient" is a widely applicable rule of thumb. But both approaches have merit.

I think a bunch of people, without explicit coordination, were rude to the sorts of people who weren't seen as belonging. My experience jives with the article GGP linked, and I've played both parts (and for anyone who had to put u

It was a gatekeeping strategy. Opening the gates means opening them for the people you like and the people you don't. Ultimately, it's the hackerly thing to do. Knowledge wants to be free.

Fiat is a terrible investment, as advertised. Central banks make it clear they are target inflation and that you should expect the asset to depreciate. I don't think anyone expects to get rich keeping their money under their mattress.

Calling people rejects is ablest and smells like eugenics.

Never attribute to malice a plan too stupid to work when the alternative is that a tech company underinvested in QA. If they were going to rig a game they probably wouldn't do it in a way so obvious their customers immediately flagged

Sometimes people use terms in a way we don't agree with, but it doesn't give us license to misinterpret their meaning in doing so. (Please note I made no claim here about whether or not AI is "founded on theft" and only

Have you ever stared at a blank page (canvas, editor widow, ...) and wanted very badly to put something there but been unable to do so? Is there a technological tool[1] which would've solved that problem? [1] Technological as opposed t

You're using a different definition of AI than Procreate is. You can tell because no one has ever said generative fill was "founded on theft" (a statement you don't have to agree with to acknowledge the point). So you an

Really any time you're using a distributed system, you should ask yourself, do I need retries? Do I need circuit breakers? Do I need rate limits? The answers are probably either "yes" or "yes, but not yet."

To be frank again, there wasn't really bad faith and hostility in the way you mean. You were snarky to them, and they escalated by insulting you. That doesn't really excuse anyone from anything; you both made your choices, and nei

Let me disclaim that this is a work in progress and that I am not a doctor. Part of it was that I had a breakdown. That was unpleasant. But ultimately it was part of the process. (Not to say this is necessarily true of everyone!) This force

And you'll need to address this whichever approach you take. If you can't pin them down to an identity, you'll probably need to take a deposit.

It works the same, the price is just $0. I'm sure I'm missing nuances since I don't know this resort's business, but here's what I'd propose. You let people register interest by Monday (potentially weeks in adv

It's a shame because the solution is very simple. You have a period of time where people can register interest which is long enough that everyone can do it at their leisure. After this window closes you draw lots. Whoever wins the lott

Another cool project from Dr. Hipp is the fossil SCM, which SQLite is developed in, and one of it's features is that it ships with a web view similar to GitHub. The website is actually the web view of the repo. (Apologies for expressin

To me it seemed like they had incompatible visions (SQLite wants to work in 2050 in the contexts it's been traditionally used in, libsql wants to modernize and lean into the more recent use cases) and so a fork was the appropriate and
