You mistake the author's central claim. The central claim is that certain things cannot be taught or even researched if they appear to hurt the feelings of students. Sex being binary (and the author carefully distinguishes between sex

Communication and honest debate about facts and details, such as the ones you bring up yourself, is impossible when the people you are attempting to communicate with don't care about the truth -- they only care about how the words you

There are always trade-offs though. 1) If you're busy maintaining backward compat, you're not busy building innovative new things -- Microsoft. 'nuf said. 2) You have a built-in excuse to not make your new stuff equal in func

Wonderful story. Both the janitor and the CEO epitomize Ayn Rand's "ideal man": > "The moral issue is: how do you approach the field of work given your intellectual endowment and the existing possibilities? Are you go

Another gotcha with HSTS + includesubdomains is if you have a naked domain e.g. https://example.com redirecting to a www prefix e.g. https://www.example.com , but the server is configured to send the HSTS header for t

I find the the amount of traffic and comments articles with this message generate quite amusing, given the article can be boiled down to: don't use tools like Cassandra, Kafka, etc. until you've thought through whether they are

Leaving aside the (unconvincing) possibility that Boeing was actively covering up issues (which, if they were, is potentially a criminal issue due to fraud), there is a deeper philosophical point to be made about how people should view indu

This comment is profoundly ignorant. You're dismissing her philosophy because of two descriptive words (and not even the best two, which would probably be "rational selfishness"), which you have decided are the "opposite

Agreed. Microsoft Azure Portal is taking up 934 MB, Gmail is 502 MB, Pocket is 309 Mb. Google Keep takes 180 Mb or so.

You miss the point. I don't think they are acting shitty. They're acting according to what both you and they agreed to in advance. You knew (or should have known) what they were (and were not) going to give you in return for your

Which should have been clear to you when you joined the company and read and signed the employment and stock options agreements (you did read them, didn't you?). If that isn't to your liking, don't work for a startup.

The comparison to kbfs and IPFS seems relatively straightforward based on a cursory reading of the three web sites... kbfs still stores files, and I still depend on them to keep their service running. kbfs adds key management via keybase, b

There was a better story about a printer / print server I remember reading somewhere -- someone here will remember and link it I'm sure. This story is so obviously contrived -- what would happen to the gentleman after his car woul

Unfortunately, there is indeed a lot of truth to the statement that it is a PR gimmick. The problem with wind and solar is that they are intermittent. Therefore, Google's consumption at any particular moment in time cannot be supplie

Not "hard" as such. Just requires a completely separate code path than the local cursor and selection machinery. That isn't too much of a barrier though... I look forward to its implementation in Prosemirror!

Quill is good but not great. I looked at Quill extensively before embarking on writing Ritzy. Its collaboration features are minimal -- as far as I know there is no way to do collaboration across two browsers i.e. there is no working and&#x

It does not. See the comments from Marijn above. I don't know anything about RTL/bidi and accessibility, so I'm not sure if these are intractable problems for Ritzy or not.

Yup, I noticed that bug! It's fixed now ( https://github.com/ritzyed/ritzy/commit/c42769d27730a11fe0d4... ) (demo is not updated yet). It should be easy to add the Mac key bindings -- I need to find a Mac
