I believe the relevant quote is “You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole”. Better to keep some opinions to yourself, I think.

Do you also abstain from - hospitals - medicine - glasses / other similar implements - any other human altering measures? We closed the door on natural evolution a long time ago. Most of us are already cyborgs with our phones and compu

If I’m dead then I don’t think I’d really care much at that point. If more of my dead body can be utilized before it becomes waste, then that’s cool.

Everyone is a bee to an extent, unless they live as a hermit. We’re all part of a larger system and have certain things to do (work, pay taxes, and so on). With the advent of the internet, behavior will continue to grow more hive-like due t

"are you really ignorant enough to" "it's because of people like you" That's certainly one way to get people to immediately stop listening to you. Parent merely was talking about the wireless cards.

Have you tried in-ear variants like the bose qc20? I have no problems with them for long periods of time. Also, as other users have pointed out, noise-canceling just counteracts constant noise like machine hums, and the like. It won't

Have you tried the in-ears (the qc20s)? I use those for long periods of time and don't really get any issues. I moreso get fatigued from whatever I'm listening to, so I have to change it up a bit.

This is like asking "can't I just use a cellar + ice instead of using a fridge?". Yes, through a lot of scripting, you can emulate docker-compose. But compose actually handles a lot of things, to the point that manual scripti

I'm not sure why anyone would -want- to go visit china at this point, unless they've been living under a rock. I hope to visit taiwan sometime next year.

As someone who went to college early (some community college classes at 14, then university at 16), and was partially homeschooled (freshman-junior year), I wouldn't recommend this. Socializing is huge. I really cannot emphasize enough

I do something like this from time to time, just with pen and paper. I often have thoughts for blog posts, and I'll write out as much as I can in a dedicated notebook. After ~2-6 days, I'll look at it again with fresh eyes and typ

Do you have a recommended resource for reading more about the 757? I find it interesting but I’ve never dig deeper into it.

Jesus, reading that was completely horrific. It's total software gore and terrible practices, in critical car systems.. Accountability and proper practices just go out the window when dealing with invisible code, I guess. It's 201

"First" and "last" is a wrong representation anyway, because it assumes people always write their names in that order. That breaks for chinese, japanese, korean, and probably multiple other types of names. s/first n

No. Gitlab discussed defining a policy to not hire Chinese/Russian nationals. They did not decide to not hire them, someone just made an issue to discuss it, which then got linked.

One can only claim ignorance for so long. They know what they’re programming. But yes, managers and the like involved should also be going to jail. This cavalier, negligent attitude needs to be dealt with yesterday.

"I want this speech censored, not that speech". (I agree with this, I don't agree with that- so censor it). Of course it's completely hypocritical. The exact specifics of the situation w.r.t China are irrelevant.
