I've always wondered if there's some intentional poker going on here: if the IRS shows you your report first, and you realize they've made a mistake to your advantage, you're almost certainly less likely to report it..

This should be easy to solve: don't send it automatically. Require people to: manually log into a website or visit an office, verify their identity, and confirm their address.

I think NixOS/Nix is a good example of where we need one. Nix is used for a massive amount of configuration which needs to be functional and turing-complete. Nix is pretty nice and compact as a configuration language, but the "pro

Point being: these researchers were chosen by, and paid by Mozilla to do this. The researchers have a strong incentive to be biased; to leave out details; to p-hack. Though they claim to be neutral, no human is capable of being unbiased,

Squashing is very useful....for local development. The idea of squashing already-pushed commits frightens me, glad I've never had to deal with it. Where are they doing this?

LLMs are too powerful. It's basically like having someone next to you telling you what to say in the interview, if not better . The point of (software engineering) interviews is to demonstrate how you solve problems. "Type the

(Regarding torrents, perhaps the most popular pirating medium...) In general, torrent users are consumers and distributors. Technically you can disable seeding, but peers can detect this and many will stop sharing with you.

Ask permission from whom? George Carlin has been dead for 15 years. From the copyright inheritors? Personally, not a fan of copyright inheritance, so I'll pass, unless I'm legally obligated. But I think the law says parody is fair

Also, I bet running urbandictionary.com is an absolute moderation nightmare . Imagine that, and now it's in thousands of languages. I wish the authors the best of luck.

Hey, I've been on a similar spree! It all started when I asked myself why I still suck at guitar and piano, despite a decade of on and off playing. On piano, jumping between keys/modes is non-trivial, unless you have an extensive

This would be awesome for teaching beginners. I'd probably go with circle for the king, and maybe an L or a sideways H for the knight, even though they break the original design rule. Otherwise K/Q/N just look too similar.
