Absolutely -- without Woz apple never would have been a glimmer in Jobs' eye.

Jobs was not a good person but we wouldn't be talking about Woz today if they had not paired up. He was a visionary and "got" tech -- Apple's success with him (both times) and the floundering in between demonstrate his v

DOGE already started the austerity measures, and tariffs are taxes, so it's already in play. Popularity may be moot depending upon how things play out in the next couple years.

Fortunately the stability and consistency of JS frameworks make light work of that pain!

Agreed. Those methods should be treated as idempotent.

Is there really a need for a filesystem? Just pull from a bucket and it's done. Push updates to the bucket and...it's done. I see the need for "sharing" in giving access to the data, but not to have it represented on the

My original comment was an offhand observation, but the difference under assumption is that co-working spaces require a contract/commitment, whereas the scenario I had in mind was no commitment other than paying for each time of use. M

The last time it had teeth was the 60s into the 70s with the protests for Civil Rights and against the Vietnam War. But angry crowds can still remind them that the threat exists -- witness Josh Hawley fleeing the capital when the angry

People are wired to worship, and want somebody in charge telling them what to do. I'm a staunch atheist and I feel the pull all the time.

Seems like an opportunity for a coworking-lite space -- rent a seat/desk spot for 1 hour blocks.

Out economy is now in the hands of an entitled narcissist with clear cognitive decline, surrounded only by enablers. Policy is determined by personal aggrandizement, greed, and vendettas. It's fucking crazy and to pretend otherwise is

If you've seen what ICE has done so far, and the "promises" made by the current regime, it's all valid to worry about unless you fall into the protected class of being a White Multi-Generational-Resident Evangelical Male

It's all powered by hate, which itself is powered by ignorance and lack of critical reasoning skills.

Words can have different meanings dependent upon context and audience. Again, the point is just because the same word is used in different contexts doesn't mean the word means the same thing. Let me try to clarify: I believe in lots

And we collectively pretend like there's nothing wrong with that. Like so many other subjects, we have Left and Right pitted against each other to allow this to be the status quo. It would be technically "simple" to reform th

Police should be self-insured, backed by their pension fund. They have no skin in the game for accountability of their abuses, and the taxpayers end up paying for it. "According to the data, 65 out of the nation's 300 largest

These tariffs are presented as trying to bolster domestic industry but that's a smokescreen. The primary goal is to use this to replace income taxes so the rich are freed from their onerous (/s) taxation. The bonus is that it&#x

The weasel wording around "belief" doesn't help. The two use cases of the words are not the same: 1. belief: a world view that exists without needing external validation (i.e., "faith") 2. belief: an underst

I have to confess I only skimmed it, but it seems that if the choice is to rotate an object, then using a simple flap on an axis would be both cheaper and likely faster (less mass to move). I realize that efficiency was not a goal, but it d

Yes, it's not about capturing every drop -- more about slowing it down so a fair amount can percolate in. The recent tragedy in Texas is a key example -- way more water than could be "handled", and if there were mitigations i

I think the distinction is between rainwater runoff vs aquifer depletion. They are related, and if we were collectively smarter we would do a better job of managing the runoff to help restore the aquifers.

I agree they're in a horrible bind. In a different timeline, we'd have a "master plan" of how to ensure industry (and the populous) is able to thrive in the future. I believe it's technically a solvable problem but

But isn't that the goal? Regardless, the TFA posits that it's physically impossible to do what he promised to do. I'm not a rocket scientist but I got the gist of the problem (reentry is a bitch). I'm a geek who's l
