Thank you for link to TGS, I have similar browsing patterns, and I do notice chrome closing in on 5gb of RAM, slowing down alot of other stuff. Hopefully this will help :)

Oh, I wasn't implying that I think he or any figure should be "absolved" of anything. If we're all guilty of hypocrisy in some form or another, and we all struggle with it, and the person your describing is dead and can

Yes and shouldn't our first goal to be to examine ourselves for it and understand that sometimes that our culture and times and the systems involved make living in a purely idealistic state either untenable or at least make it incredib

I tend to agree whole heartedly, but at the same time, IG seems, IMO, to feel a lot less toxic than Twitter. It's a small sample set, and perhaps not really indicative of much besides my personal feeds, but IG definitely has a lot mor

They mention that 0 is the perfect score, though I'm not sure how the highest and lowest they mention relate to one another (let alone how someones score could be that far off), but I also got a score of 2 and also in Night Shift mode.

I agree with you as I've binged many a TV show, but Netflix's algorithm doesn't feel right, just yet , though from the article, it seems like overall the data isn't the driver, just a guide, and it definitely helps put

I have to concur with this 100%, most true crime shows from Netflix have felt padded, something where I feel like if the podcast Criminal can make an enthralling episode about an event, the TV versions should be adding a lot more for the 10

As someone who has around 16 years of dev experience, whose background is originally illustration and graphic design, and then picked up PHP and JavaScript and who has been working at a Java shop for the last 12 years, I can say that much

I dunno about this. I consider HN social media (we are socializing via media of sorts), but even on Facebook, when I post something that I believe validates my perspective, my social graph includes intellectually honest people who chime in

I think by 2006 magic auto globals was already off by default (4.2, which was released in 2002, was the one that turned it off, and though 4.2 was still widely used by the time jQuery came about, register_globals was considered bad practice

I have to agree with you, with the exception of Spotlight. Spotlight for me is just simpler of an app launcher for my rarely used apps than Alfred (though I use Alfred for other features), though I do miss Quicksilver. But Launchpad is wor

I gotta say, I really enjoyed skimming through this, and saving it for future reference. I can already tell there are some basic things that I should've memorized with all the one liners I've used, but because most were cobbled to

Gyms rely on their clients optimism to sign up, but profit on their lack of commitment, which seems to be what MoviePass is banking on. Early adopters tend to be the most vocal and the most intent on extracting value, so I can see that if t

Sorry for the late reply, but I agree the idea is interesting, but for me it comes off the same way intelligent design or creationism comes off, almost as a God of the gaps type mentality. Because if life is seeded from elsewhere, it's

It's not that I find it hard to believe, but just trying to understand. Would an actor of the state be justified in killing someone who was threatening their lives or the lives of others?

This strangely reminds me of a Wired article[0] from 2013 where it quotes a scientist in this way: "If you want to study an alien intelligence, Godfrey-Smith says, 'octopuses are the closest thing we have.'" Though it do

I agree. What I find more disturbing is why Brown won't even answer the question. Or Harris. There has to be reasons, but there seems to be enough inconsistencies to at least warrant a statement, even a BS political statement would be

1. Legally murder is an oxymoron. Murder is the unlawful killing of another. Unless you believe cases of self-defense also count as murder, but the right language, pedantically speaking would be, legally kill. 2. Do you really believe there

What I think is I would like to know more information. How many of these prisoners continue to be a threat and continue to harm and kill other inmates and guards. And if it's average is lower than the US, I'd love to find out what

I agree that our legal system, in fact our general culture, views justice through the eyes of punishment, and I think it's unfortunate, though even punishment should be viewed as a way to bring about correction. And the death penalty f

I do recognize that people in power will misuse it, but that is true of any sort of punishment or rehabilitation. Back when you could have people committed, even though that was ostensibly for rehabilitation, it could be abused for someone

Having incontrovertible evidence and proof that there's no hope of rehabilitation? I think there are obvious cases where someone is beyond help, but I think it comes down to setting defined standards (some of which we have, but I thin

Nope, I don't mind that. They're definitely not the only ones, and as long as that info is used for improving experiences, I'm okay with it.

I mean supporting it as the language in which the plugin is written. If there are plugins that are doing that, let me know, I'll be googling that all day today.
