Your comment is gray. Isn't that because someone downvoted it? I don't think they voted correctly. I think your comment is meaningful and helps further discussion. Maybe they just don't know the rules of voting. I might not l

> Not everyone's goal is to progress a society though. Thank you. That was my initial thought too. Why is progress the goal? Not everything has to "progress" at all times. What progress needs to be made anyway? And towards

They're having the same problems with political extremism as the US. To be clear, this is both that political figures are leaning towards the extreme ends of their ideologies, as well as a culture of dogma and isolation that pushes t

Here's the correct principle to live by: If it didn't occur in nature where evolution honed both its existence and human's tolerance to it, then don't consume/use it. After so many years, I simply can't count h

What this industry has taught me: 1. DRY initially when your organization is afraid of refactoring because they'll never let you touch it a second time if "it works". 2. DRY later when it's clear the code will not change

I like it! That's a great idea. To me, this sounds like a great practice for terminal environments but may be less intuitive when using file system apps. I could easily overlook a single letter capitalization in a GUI view of many dire

GM requiring Google integration and eliminating Apple Car Play and Android Auto makes me think a brand new model is immediately disposable. If I have choice removed from me, in particular a choice I very much care about, then I’m going to c

Its too bad research papers can't be organized like a git history. We'd see many forks that never end up as pull requests that are merged back to main. And probably forks of forks that stray too far from the founding paper's

I with you. But maybe there's a line it crosses from feature to critical impediment? A great example is YouTube in a web browser. My internet is 350 Mbps with 20-40ms latency. Trying to load YouTube in a new browser tab takes a few to

I laughed, but I felt the need to downvote. By the rules, this is off topic, but personally, I'm exhausted by politics being injected into every other topic of conversation. Even if you and I agree politically, I think we can reduce hy

We’re one Carrington event away from coiling our own copper wire to pick up AM signals. I’m unaware of any similar mechanism for internet or cell reception. I’m pretty happy with AM being carried forward. Maybe the FCC could support that by

If we’re to correct the exuberance of emotion then this reactionary reply doesn’t fit either. On the topic, I found this informative: https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1963?amount=1 “ $1 in 1963 is equiva
