I just don’t believe Musk has any ability to reason about things from a rational perspective. Some of the best work done to address the US debt has occurred under democratic leadership, while time and again we’ve seen republicans balloon th

I hate this for the community - I’m an outsider, who always wanted to give Ruby (and Rails) a good swing. However, after this, and after learning about dhh’s awful (imo) stances, I’m not ever going to go near any of it. I had a similar “yuc

A collision where you lose power. I mean, let’s be real - it’s just when the door loses power, or the switch gets damaged, or… I feel there’s plenty of times when a manual latch is preferable.

If they made my exact Honda civic but with an electric motor and literally no other “improvements”, I’d be over the moon. I don’t need a touch screen, “self-driving” feature, or _electric-only door handles_ - the biggest pain points of cars

There’s a difference though - currently, this kind of tech and breadth of surveillance is largely in the hands of corporations and government. In the near future, when things like these glasses are invisible _and_ mildly affordable (even iP

Makes sense - Rogan is friends with Alex Jones, who is pretty much as far up Trump’s rump as Jones himself once said Trump was “up ISIS’s dirty **hole” - we almost had a world where jones was so mad at trump that he was going to bail, but I

The “neutral” is part of his act. He platforms people with dangerous ideas under the guise of “just hearing what they have to say”, but he doesn’t really push back _ever_. I’ve heard people say downright factually incorrect or defamatory th

But if only Google or similarly sized companies can pay that well, and there’s tons of programmers, obviously the average salary will balance out lower than what Google pay but will still be competitive to the thousands of programmers who d

Git always baffled me with revert - I learned early on that if I wanted to “undo” something, the best bet was to either branch from a commit before the thing I want undone, and maybe rebase/cherry pick later commits, or just start over

Is it cheaper than sending XML and a stylesheet though? Further, PDF and server-side are fine for achieving the same display, but it removes the XML of it all - that is to say, someone might be using the raw XML to lower tools, feeds, etc.
