It really sounds like her sole uncontroversial accomplishment, unless you're of the "More woman prison guards!" persuasion, was a 400-pound leg press. That's impressive enough for a spry youth, so hey, good job. Probably

That's put there by the platform. I don't have access or interest.

Think of this in terms of a brand defending their trademark to avoid losing it through dilution. It's Open Source, a term they created, not a generic concept "open source." I don't like them owning a term that feels like

I started back in the '00s with server-side stat tools like AWStats and never learned anything new from checking them. Why would I keep wasting time? My subjective experience tells me they're useless for me, and this is a common e

I ditched analytics entirely when I realized they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Stat dashboards are skinner boxes that get in the way of doing the work of trying new things, getting feedback, and using it for the

>> "Conspiracy theorists can at least be entertaining sometimes" Very true. We got some of the best TV in history in the form of the Stargate franchise from goofy '90s conspiracies.

This was basically the plot of Falling Skies. The invaders justified the invasion with humanity's own history.

There's no indication it's doing this on purpose. It just looks broken and confusing. There also doesn't appear to be a way to tell it to only show exact matches. The obvious place would be the refinement sidebar, but dimensi

This kind of belief doesn't survive contact with the kind of person bad fakes are targeted at. They're not stupid people, they're just people who've lived long enough to feel confident in their understanding of the world

I wonder if there were similar conversations about math coprocessors when they joined the CPU. What did people say about increasing specialization of cores then? The closest recent analogue is GPUs joining the CPU on mobile devices, but it

Initial news always spreads further and faster than updates. This is normal and should have been expected by the company. They took the risk of rushing and get to suffer the consequences.

I always feel bad for the developers of the better GUI Linux tools. It's not fair for people to compare solid efforts to commercial software with solid funding and huge userbases for feedback. Some of them are their own worst enemy, bu

It would help if the getting started documentation on the major entry points didn't advise the opposite. How is a beginner supposed to know? Most of the people they'll encounter along the way think it's completely reasonable

I've looked into stuff like this and often it turns out the reason for a lack of [obvious solution] is: 1: Essential libraries fail 2: Documentation missing needed details 3: hostility to inquiry about problems from community And on. T

My favorite thing is when people apply anglosphere reporting norms to the US. January 6th becomes sectarian violence as security forces clash with extremists over a contested election. It sounds just as absurd applied elsewhere, but we&#x27

1984 is great because it bifurcates most responses in a revealing way: there are people who understand it as a cautionary tale against something that hasn't happened, and people who understand its many wonderful metaphors as representi

Some people can't tell an oud from a hole in the head. "Good" (in flaming hot Cheeto air quotes) grocery stores pick music to create a safe space where they won't be challenged by other music traditions. Or worse, the pl

This comment could benefit from development. For example: how do you know .NET was the cause? Anecadata can be useful in aggregate, but not with such sparse details.

There does seem to be some cultural inertia from the gap between when people made all the new frameworks and extensions to make JavaScript keep up with the advance of the web and when JavaScript got most of that functionality built in. CSS

People forget EVs were long seen as a useless literally-who-asked type of thing, until they weren't. All we need to do is have a train or bus beat an ICE supercar in a race.
