That's the whole point though: it's a puzzle for the brain. If it were explicitly spelled out the fun would be lost. Personally I think of art as programming using symbols that have been previously uploaded into the audience. In

Chrome is based on WebKit, which itself is descended from KHTML. That was essentially a little widget for formatting help pages in KDE and only had a handful of developers. In fact, it was chosen as the basis for WebKit because it was min

Correction: we have her claim that she got medical treatment, a graph she made, and a selfie with some medical equipment. We don't have independent proof of anything. And yes, I did read the article. If this paper trail ever surface

There's a practical angle to this too. Without them opening their kernel modifications you are at the mercy of some small company in China for all future support and security updates.

Occam's razor would lead to this summary: person finds out that the apartment was built on a former toxic waste site, gives themselves a panic attack. Of course, there is always the possibility that her unit was somehow special, but it

You haven't mentioned how old your kid is. My kids are 6 and 4 years old and enjoy Osmo Awbie and Ozobot.

Now if I were you I'd go over this whole post again and see if there are any patterns. In this one it is obvious. Almost every single person is telling you "you are ignoring an emotional problem" and you get defensive and t

You talk to them. And even more importantly, you listen. You'll quickly learn that strawmen such as features built for the sake of it don't actually exist. When you think you have found one, ask yourself why. Why did that engin

Here is another angle to consider. Depending on your country of birth, a Masters can shave years off the time it takes to get a green card in the US (look up EB2 vs EB3 wait times for your country). The Canadian computer industry is tiny co

...so let's go bomb some other people and force a government of our choosing on them. That'll solve everything. Oh, and because those people will love their new government so much it'll have to be propped up by our military

I thought you just answered that question in the preceding paragraph? :) At my workplace the founder was staunchly anti-remote. Something about discipline and hallway conversations being necessary for creativity. Mostly discipline. It re

Isn't it a bit weird to have someone who is not Native American (you) tell an actual Native American how they should feel and what kind of experiences they are supposed to have had? I would guess that the subset of Native Americans wh

The chances of having a kid with a serious disorder go up dramatically for older mothers (and recent research shows this is true for fathers too). Even if we decide only to care about economics and not the kids health, health issues are ex

The way I think about this stuff (maybe my mental model will prove useful to you): imagine a parallel economy that only a small subset of people are plugged into. These people happen to belong to the top 5% of the "real world" ec

They want to avoid thinking about non-engineering things like liability for as long as possible and focus on the engineering problem. It's a valid approach. As for the "who has liability" question it's simple: the drive

I'm sure you know better, but at first glance this seems wrong. Reason: `main` is not itself a template, so `cast` is not a dependent name. C++ compilers used to be liberal about accepting unnecessary instances of the `typename` keywo

Beware the opposite trap: once you get a reputation for being a team player willing to do work that nobody else will, people will appreciate you but also throw more of this kind of work your way. After a few years you may wonder why you ar

For everyone concerned about the tech being not ready, equality, etc: isn't it better to allow this experimentation in the open with proper oversight rather than attempting to ban it and in doing so drive it underground? This genie is

Notice how the only counter examples you came up with are legacy applications. This is the first sign of a declining market. No, Intel will not go out of business tomorrow. But they are still dead. The growth markets will drive the price

I think we'll see a lot of ARM use cases outside of the Apple stack and x86 is dead (but it will of course take its sweet time getting there). For the longest time everyone believed at a subconscious level that x86 was a prerequisite

People tend to fall for conspiracy theories and charlatans when they are desperate. We call a large swath of the country "flyover states". These people feel like what they are doing is the only way to make themselves heard. We

However, the other take on this is that half the country is unhappy enough that it culminated in storming the Capitol. Sure, they may not look very presentable or act very civilized. But they have numbers, power, and anger. Sweeping this
