For better or worse I would assume the opposite: a great number of the engineering leads are gone and he's looking for people to replace them. If that's the case, though, just being an epic coder will not necessarily make you succ

It's worth noting that the constitution itself doesn't provide that mechanism - the judiciary created it for itself, but relies on the cooperation of the other branches for its judgments to be effective.

You are not responding to the previous comment. If you want to say that you think killing someone because they took or damaged your things is justified, say that. GGP was clearly saying that doing so is murder (in my reading: normatively if

Yes, and add you can see it's already been developed - for over 60 years. That's not to say more can't be developed, but the rate of new development has been pretty low, and the prevailing belief was that this was the result

Yes, that is the whole concept. The question is, is this something that has been re-evaluated? Are there more site locations available than previously thought? Have the economics changed significantly? Was this a known-wrong assumption 15 y

It only has 1st amendment problems if the courts care. Making abortion illegal is an ideological project that the majority of the current SCOTUS and their acolytes has been working towards for at least 40 years. If you think they're go

I haven't used Facebook in quite a while, but when I did I had a set of userscripts to defuse this tracking. It worked similarly to Google link stripping, by defusing the JavaScript that rewrote the link between the time you clicked it

I know quite a number of podcasters who use Patreon. It ends up being pretty convenient, because you can enable a podcast-compatible RSS feed that your users can import into their podcatcher.

There's got to be a sizeable number of people who have paid for this feature and never received it before selling the car. And of course Tesla is willing to re-sell the feature to the next driver. Are they willing to pay back customers

I get the feeling that GP was responding more to the article than to the project. The article spends a lot of words suggesting the project makes all other DOOM ports obsolete. Definitely the title suggests that. And given that value judgmen
