The Endless Eight was widely regarded as a rite of passage in anime spheres. A lot of people would end up skipping the second half after they realized what was going on. Great show, and as far as I know the only one to have attempted someth

Because I think the sites would rather you rack up page views browsing for the content you want to read as well. They'd rather you scroll through their index page than one curated and cleaned of ads/trackers. I do agree that the a

I think there's an inherent conflict with RSS and content providers today. Think about it, an RSS feed allows you to get content without dealing with advertising, tracking, etc. Most modern content sites would not support that sentimen

So if you can't ask the downloader to verify the code, and extension developers can put almost whatever they want on your browser, what are you supposed to do? Just trust randoms to not infect your computer intentionally or neglectfull

On the flip-side, however, many average people don't want former criminals in their society, near their kids, etc. How do you separate the ones who actually want to get back on track and live a normal life, and the ones that plan on co

This comment would have been better without an ad-hominem attack at the end. Also, grand-standing.

You're right, but testing the whole page's component functionality in large frontend apps isn't super common, either. In these cases, you would test the lower-level components and then not necessarily test their functionality

Agreed. The more I grow, the more I realize it is unrealistic to develop skills in scaling architecture, massive-scale software, etc. with only your own projects. You either need to contribute to large projects, find large projects to hire

Occasionally, at non-mainstream theatres. 'Dollar theatres' were also popular in my college days; they would play things like "Liar Liar" or "Home Alone" for a buck, and then you don't feel bad spending $1

Agreed, minimalism and age/maturity do not correlate in any meaningful way. It's much too circumstantial. In some cases, running a time-tested Java app might be much easier than spinning up a modern JS equivalent. In other cases,

Only yesterday, a coworker and I were discussing how $5.5 billion is something like 5% of Google's cash reserves. All-in-all, not the end of the world. My question in the end was: is $5.5 billion every few years actually enough to dete

The issue here isn't that the content can be read, it's that oppressive regimes can censor content from apps like Signal completely. It's a question of hiding the source/destination, not the contents.

A new repo, likely a new employee on a new project. I have to disagree with your statement since you don't know the context at all. If all they're given is a repo with inadequate instructions, there's not much more you can do

I love this school of thought (if you want to call it that)! It seems like a very reasonable and simple answer (considering what advanced technologies other lifeforms could have) to why we haven't seen any concrete evidence anywhere ye

I'd take it even one step further and apply this to literally anything on the internet! Whether it's news (doesn't even have to be true these days), data (omitted/modified or not), opinions (externally-motivated), resear

While I love capturing these moments of time to share with the world, I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness that these and many other vibrant, productive communities all eventually get swallowed up by the mainstream. What are these

This would be fantastic news if the content was anything worthwhile. At the end of the day, I'm not sure I care whether the kid is watching commercials or some other inane show. It's still passive consumption. Personally, of cours

I think this is absolutely true, but you'd think the Quakers would have left some wholesomeness in the Northeast as well, right? I would hope that we don't need to depend on religion, hundreds of years later, to instill good value

On the one hand, I find this amazing that you can just write out these more complex grid layouts and end up just filling them all out side by side. On the other hand, I'm skeptical about some parts of this feature like the layouts. You

Given the hands-off approach, the PR concerns, and the fact that they have a healthy community of tech-minded people on here from which to recruit from, I find it unlikely that they would do anything perceived as too alienating to anyone. T

The prison system is a crazy, privatized torture system designed to keep the poor incarcerated to increase profits for all the contract work related to running the prison system. Rikers is a great example of a clearly flawed jail system, wi

Unfortunately that attitude does little to help or try to discover what has happened. Cynicism is a double-edged sword. Once you give up the will to question and criticize, that's when democracy truly fails.

I think a lot of people can sympathize, but as you said, it's kinda taboo to say you wish you didn't have kids! I think you get the same feeling, a loss of freedoms, from any significant evolution in life. Leaving college: "I
