I don’t share this concern about over-estimating this bad behavior. Yes, normal people don’t do this. But there are a lot of people who take advantage of other people, leverage authority (their own, or others), and even tell themselves that

My friend notes that the logo covers Grand County Int’l Airport, containing the 2nd-longest runway in the US, where JAL and FedEx both have 747 pilot training facilities.

As others have noted, this is basically TDD, and his idea of what TDD is was faulty.

From my experience, this stuff isn’t limited to COVID-19, and I don’t mean that to minimize your experience with it. I just want to note that I had the flu in 2013; my temperature got up to 104F, and I was sub-par for about that same amount

When I first tried making it in...1994, I believe, the instructions I had from cookbooks didn't say anything about refrigeration. Looking briefly on the internet right now, I see a mixture. What I know for sure is that I hung it from a

Monica seems like a pretty pedestrian contact management app to me. I’m struggling to see what’s impressive about it over, as you say, my iPhone, or, say, Notion.

How could Apple could have gotten a real OS more quickly? The Mac OS of the time had no preemptive multitasking or protected memory, so software running on it was doomed to be made unstable by all the other software. NextStep, maybe it was

"[The Internet] also grows exponentially worse at helping us discover what we don’t yet know we ought to know, those invaluable unknown-unknowns." Really? Has the author ever been to Hacker News, I wonder.

I thought this article was going somewhere interesting, but then it just sort of petered out, after a number of paragraphs of increasingly dismaying academic language. Not that academic language doesn’t have a purpose sometimes. I just didn

Hells yeah. Show up. People will eventually start expecting you. Then inviting you to things. Then you’ll make plans. To do things together. And when the time to meet up approaches, sometimes you’ll feel like you don’t want to go. And that’

An attack that requires access to LD_PRELOAD, and root access to do great damage - this is nothing new.

Mobile phones, particularly smartphones, are incredibly useful devices, particularly while mobile, and it doesn’t seem weird to be uncomfortable when one doesn’t have it.

“Over the next nine months I would quit my job, write over 200,000 lines of code” That stretches credulity. It’s, like, 750 lines of code per day, working every day.

No doubt there are lawbreakers in AP, just as they are in every other state, in every other place. That you’ve heard more or remembered more or paid more attention to those reports is of little to no material importance for grasping what is

“Rules lawyering” being a term from the role-playing games world, where players try to achieve their aims partly by arguing with the game master about the rules…I love the use here. I don’t know if I’ve seen it applied to the eruv, but it’s

The author has described what they thing would make the practice of TDD better. The rationale presented isn’t ridiculous. Reasonable people could disagree on it.

Medium is where the piece we’re talking about was posted - “The Shameful Decline…”. While the article in SA does seem appalling, I don’t see this single article’s publication as justification for this broad indictment of SA. It’s concerning

Is pinball making a comeback? Either way…I can see it being real. I can see it being a parody. I can see it being a parody funded by parodists but created by true believers. I can perhaps see it the other way. All the possibilities are open

I’ve got no idea why people eat anything else. Says on Wikipedia that it only got to the public in 2019, so maybe that’s why this older article omitted it.

Russia is another foreign power whose interests often run counter to those of the US and which often acts accordingly. That does not make it a “hostile” power, at least in the sense the term has been used for decades; there is not even sabe

I think it’s likely that ‘conservatives’ (and New Age enthusiasts, and others) wanted to hear anti-elitist messages, messages that discredited experts, which anti-vax messaging is congruent with.

What seems likely to me is that it’s faster with social media. That maybe every form of social change is faster with the internet. Whatever is going to happen without social media can happen faster than it would have.
