They’re definitely not the “must have” they may once have been. Way too many “must have” exclusives in way too many different elsewheres. I recently re-subbed after being gone for a year. Ran out of “catch up” content in less than a week. U

It’s concerning that my thinking is compartmentalized enough, that although I consider myself acutely aware of media consolidation, it didn’t enter my hypotheses. By “roofies” do you mean Haldol? Or is there another one. I think there’d be

I would characterize large SV corps as deeply integrated members of the establishment in 2022, whose roles in it are ever growing. However, is it not equally plausible that these companies are activist, and this is an act of activism? And c

How does a company like McDonalds scale up the effort required to remove the concept of scalding liquid from the culture? Does every corporation have its own team to manage it? Are there 3rd party brokerages they can contact to manage it? I

Great concept. I’ve wanted a 3D conventional-FPS 1-vs-1 tracking game for a long time. This is a neat board game-ization of it.

I always found these discussions absurd as well. I’ve worked with people who were great team players (usually leads and principles, actually) who also produced quality code in a much shorter timeframe than anybody else. They also tended to

Big. If I donate a couple of hard drives, will you tell your friends to let me and my friends make Wikipedia 1,000 times bigger?

Looks like a quality comment to me. But some will reduce it to: vote(-isProblematic(wokePerceptualHash(“separate art from artist”)));

I'm tired of people minimizing the problem by nitpicking. Like the conflict , which is what this is, a conflict between incompatible interests, just vanishes once I open up the dictionary. Oh! That's what that word means! Alright

Didn't I read somewhere that all of Uber's complexity is in making it work correctly in every jurisdiction that it works in?

2001-2006, but front loaded in the first two years. Perhaps you can imagine why I would see/feel this as new people coming in and taking over a great thing. Of course Wikipedia expanded and improved astronomically in that time, but wit

As for why she didn’t want me around, I’ll let Alanis Morrissette explain: “You reminded her so much of your father, so you were banished. And you wonder why you’re so hypersensitive and why you can’t trust anyone but us.”

That guy gets it. Just what I needed to hear and the accent I needed to hear it in.

I just mean I prefer to keep building out more production to idling, not that it’s wrong to play it other ways :)

A plan for where I would go after and how I would support myself. I wasn’t suicidal. My mother was annoyed that I was living at home without a job.

I retract the “whatever” part. I shouldn’t have been rude.

Hey, it’s you! I watched all 2.5 hours of your vid last night and it was fantastic for too many reasons. Let’s just say I’m going through some things, and I am underinformed about some other things. So thank you and thanks stuntkite.

Well thank you for saying so, and yes I tell my story in part to prick the Just World / The System Works bubble that I perceive as predominating around these parts. Like, to me, I might casually mention I started working at age 8, an

So my mother did this to me once. She didn't pay him - he was a friend from her church. He committed me as a favor to her. I was actually in a pretty good place at that time mood-wise. 100% not a danger to self / others. But she t

We can’t decide between ‘autistic person’ and ‘person with autism’ but I gather the former is in the lead. Will get back to you after we sort it at the next AutistiCon.

I appreciate it!

I agree, so it’s a safe bet you are in the minority.

I left it out because I struggled with how to say it and still don’t know the right way to tell it. I did become a software developer, and I did greatly enjoy my time at Microsoft. It wasn’t happily ever after, but at least it was happily u

Whatever. My brother and I are both autists and its our favorite term, because it's funny. I gauge the general level of respect from the context.

There was this popular kid in my senior year of high school. Class clown, well dressed, one of the star athletes. We'd been friends in 7th grade but he'd apparently forgotten and didn't talk to me. I was occasionally fodder f

Wikipedia itself was in practice a Wikipedia without this requirement for years, and it gained all of the traction before the deletionistas won their war and rewrote history. I know this because I was working in Microsoft’s Education Pr
