You're certainly getting older :). You're assuming that since the author writes about something obvious, they must belong to the "younger generation" and encountered it for the first time. Meanwhile, the author finished

Yes, 4chan and similar subcultures use "fren" as a funny way to say "friend" or "bro". But I think you're committing a logical fallacy here. There's nothing wrong with the word "fren". It do

It was not - attacker ran an exploit that have him a remote shell access. No shellcode was involved (that's for binary exploits which is not what happened here)

I think the advice is sounds, but "validate emotions" is not a perfect way to talk about it. Saying out loud "I understand that you want to stay up late" is a good way to start the discussion and avoid misunderstandings

Why buy a new phone when old one still receives updated and has a working battery? Honest question, I only replaced my old phone because it stopped getting security updated. Up to some limit, ancient nokia wouldn't work well, but i wou

In Poland you have Blik which is really robust... ... and yet American companies dominate payment systems in Europe. And in Poland too. Having a choice doesn't mean that the leading option is not dominating the other ones.

I never said it is. I responded to the question about "what's sad about it", and having idealistic ideas about the IT is common among newer/fresh programmers. And (almost?) nobody wants to feel like a replaceable money

Have you ever been in the US? The roads there are huge . Road lanes are huge. Cars are huge. Crossroads are huge. Parking spots are extremely large. European roads are fine, but they are way more narrow and tuned for smaller vehicles. It&#

In my country homicide rate per 100k is less than 1. Why is 2 unbelievable? Or do I understand something wrong?

The only thing I see is that having guns everywhere around does nothing to actually stop a country from descending into fascism. Thanks, I'll stay in my region, at least we have no school shootings or violent crime.

I assume in this context "low crime" doesn't refer to shoplifting, but to gang violence, murders, kidnappings, and shootings. If you fear about your life daily, you will probably be more willing to accept extreme measures tha

What's impossible about that? If he said average, you're right. But back when I lived alone and worked remotely I barely talked in real life, except when hanging out with friends (when it was probably 10k+ words in an evening). I

DeepMind was EU based, for example, before Google bought them. When I worked three, they were still London based (and in EU). Are they American now? American capital controls most of the AI, but that doesn't mean Europeans are incapabl

In my country 19 years ago we had a social media platform that for a long time was dominating and Facebook basically didn't exist internally. But that was long ago, now they are gone and everyone is on Facebook. On the other hand, if a

1. As much as I dislike the thought of law mandated overzealous moderation, you're probably right. On the other hand, if doing this will let us avoid another genocide [1] maybe it's worth it. 2. We're concerned about privacy,

Some people here seem to believe this will make leetcode obsolete. I'm afraid it will just make cheatting a status quo - if everyone else aces the coding part of the interview because of some AI tool, then you are at a severe disadvant
