If the casual statements were "I like cheese" or "tabs are better than spaces" that would not have been newsworthy. "Feminism is a disease" and "Q is legit" are rather more controversial statements.

This reminds me of Greg Egan's creepily effective SF story "Reasons to be Cheerful", which is online here: https://www.utilitarianism.com/greg-egan/Reasons-To-Be-Cheer... How happy would you choose be if

I'd want a better reason before shelling out personally. Apart from security, other issues are: - performance. Obviously that depends on the circumstances but if you are working on a function that is used in many places you don't

No. Will this article disprove the rule that whenever the headline is a question, the answer is always no? Also no.

"As far as I can tell, there's no other record of any other natural phenomenon on this Earth (climate change related or otherwise), that has been consistently recorded, in writing, more-or-less annually, for the past 1,000+ years.

I don't know whether ivermectin is an effective, let alone transformative, treatment for covid. I certainly hope it is! We could all do with some good news. I don't have time or expertise to evaluate, let alone conduct, clinical t

The thing I found most interesting was the ungodly mess they found in the spreadsheet of the raw data. I almost never see papers backed by a link to the spreadsheet or other software used to calculate the results, but I feel like that ought

It's interesting to me how different people come to different conclusions even on technical issues like "is this meta analysis sound after removing that study". Here's someone saying the exact opposite: https:/&#x2

I worked at Autonomy a long time back. While I was never exposed to the accounting side, I find the allegations quite plausible - the company always played fast and loose, selling software that didn't exist yet, wildly overstating its

It's a law of the Internet that any post complaining about grammar or spelling must inevitably contain a grammatical error of its own. Yours is no exception. And without wishing to be unkind, the fact that you are adverse to this phras

I think you are leaving out the pretty expansive middle ground where everyone lives. The options are not "pretty much any environment where they get paid" and "woketopia". Do you expect female employees to put up with ha

IIRC there was a study which indicated oncologists' ability to detect tumors in X-ray images was degraded even with lossy compression ratios which didn't introduce obvious artifacts. I couldn't find it with a quick search tho

Can't say that makes much sense to me. Stallman's contribution is inextricable from his views. He's not on the FSF board as a programmer hacking on Emacs - surely it is to advocate and advance the cause of free software. His

I run a cloud service where you can get a small amount of computing power as part of a larger free trial offer. The number of people who try to rip us off to run xmrig is simply astonishing. By my estimate you could only make $1-$2 a month

I think the concern here is some group rewriting transaction history via controlling > 50% of the hash rate, not guessing crypto keys.

We can't know which reviews are truthful. Presumably some are, some aren't. Obviously allowing the business owner to make that determination is dubious.

I'm curious: anyone feel they have ever successfully "talked someone down from a ledge" in an online forum in this way? Presumably it must happen but it seems vanishingly rare.

Design docs as text files (eg Markdown) in Git doesn't actually sound so terrible to me. Counting impact by number of commits is obviously dumb.

Others in the Twitter thread have claimed to use the same password without any effect. Would like to see some replication before jumping to too many conclusions.

Isn't spreading dangerously false information about a viral pandemic similar to shouting "fire" in a theatre? I'm not sure it's always so easy to distinguish that actively dangerous conduct from fake news. Not that

I have to wonder whether you read the article. Your comment is technically correct but doesn't address the point that it is making: that we are not counting the apples and oranges in comparable ways.

I had a function which only failed at 8 or 9 minutes past the hour. It parsed a string containing the timestamp and "08" or "09" was interpreted as an invalid octal number. Argh.
