I'm just not sure how upset to be that there is still some difference in typical roles between men and women. It may be a norm for women to be more likely to be the primary caregiver for young children, but is that bad or wrong? It may

Nihilism is a complicated subject. Like feminism, it's a word that means a wide range of things to different people. One person's take on nihilism obviously is their operating definition more than a single decisive statement on th

As a longtime Digital Ocean customer, I just want to say that it's amazingly refreshing to hear directly from somebody with such insider knowledge. Kudos for clarifying the situation for us.

Yes, and it happens all the time in other projects. There's always "so-and-so's fork that implements feature X and changes Y", and it's awesome that that's a possibility since it means no project is held hostag

The arms race moves to its next phase. I'm not sure this will accomplish much as it's not that hard to serve things from one's own domain. More work for the tracking company to get things set up, I suppose, but harder to dete

Firefox exposes APIs that other software builds on. Seems like semantic versioning would make sense for them.

I use Multi-Account Containers in Firefox plus the Cookie AutoDelete extension which integrates with it. Does the job for me. Here's my worry, though: the more broadly used cookie-blocking tools are, the greater incentive websites will

Just try assigning the expression to a variable of definitely the wrong type, and the compiler will print out the full type in the error message, e.g. let x: () = foo.iter().map(...).filter(...).step(...).take(...);

I found their call for donations at the bottom troubling: Hate racists? You’ll want to read this. Over the last few days Donald Trump and the GOP have doubled down on their campaign of hate and destruction. It’s not difficult to see that w

C++ integration would be a major win for Rust. Hopefully MS is willing to put their money where their mouth is on plugging some of the remaining holes they pointed out. Awesome to see this kind of attention for an awesome language.

I'd imagine this is the sort of situation where Mauritius uses this embarrassing (for the UK and US) defeat to pressure the UK/US for a lucrative base hosting agreement. There's little value to Mauritius themselves in having

I think it's multiple things. First, they don't want to piss off their allies, the UK and US, by voting against UK occupation. Second, they may themselves have similar territorial arrangements and are concerned that this sets a pr

So... my memory has gotten a LOT worse in the last few years. I've started making more spelling mistakes, and just thinking less clearly in general. There is alzheimers disease in my ancestry as well, and I'm worried I'm on t

If the views can't expressed, then they can't be refuted either. Banning this sort of content from Facebook will only foster a sense of persecution in white nationalists, which will likely strengthen their movement overall, while

I think it's ore to do with how our brains work. Constant distraction is not what we evolved for, so to take a break from it on a regular basis might well be "recharging" your brain's limited attention management resourc

Next step: unsupervised word segmentation. That way they could maybe apply this unsupervised translation system to undeciphered texts, e.g. Linear A, Rongorong, etc. I doubt it will work since most of the undeciphered scripts have a very sm
