I used to work with Steve. He’s a good story teller. But a story teller tells good stories by having a fairly casual relationship with facts and the truth. For example, emacs lisp suffers from bitrot. Some core things haven’t changed in for

Also a lot of parents rely on... Grandparents to childcare when they are sick! "Hey Grandma can you take care of my covid-kid while I am slowly maybe dying here?" There is 0 societal support here.

Google photos does AI so you can search for terms like 'cats' and all the pictures of cats show up. They also have other behavioral things like "hey remember this photo from a year ago" or "hey did you want to shar

You instead accused the Linux kernel team of either "pandering to a mob" or "ungrounded in reason". Hardly charitable. Do you think everyone who has a different view from you total scum of the earth? Maybe they came to a

Also it depends on the cultural understanding that white is good and black is bad. Ditto white-hat hacker vs black-hat hackers. If you really want to build something for all times, don't load it up with cultural baggage that will go o

I find the terminology uncomfortable. I dislike it. Keeping those names is lazy naming, and we can do a hell of a lot better. The words have a ton of emotional imagery tied up, and no need to invoke it just when we are talking about IDE

It seemed to be a totally factual description of the poster. Wrapping your comment up in a "that's not called for" false-call for civility while ignoring the reality on the ground that our friends, our fellow citizens may be

If language is so unimportant, then it doesn't matter if things are renamed, right? But language DOES matter, and it DOES help people. It's a bit more abstract and decoupled, but shit, you're supposed to be a coder (you ARE

Yes climate impact via co2 load is important. But persistent environmental pollutants is also important. That's the essential problem of plastic. The ideal is a closed carbon loop, and the primary blocker here is the continued use of

This analogy is weak for a few reasons, first off companies are not doctors and with diversification no one is at risk of death. Secondly, expanding the pool of available investments with an eye towards attempting to correct systematic inju

This is a great comment. People complain about youtube censorship... on YouTube. There is a widespread misunderstanding of the YouTube removal reasons. Bad faith actors are spreading these rumors and creating conditions to falsely claim c

Sigh. Really. The tweets didn’t offer “sending in the police” it threatened to send the military in. Which isn’t the police. Word matter. The fact I’m m reading this comment here is sad.

My LED bulbs last until they break. And depending on who made them, they break a lot. All my philips hue bulbs still work. Even the ones that are like 8 years old. But every bulb from ikea has broken.

There are LED bulb requirements in California, and people have mocked them, but as I understand it they are supposed to help address this issue, as well as color quality and audible noise issues. In other words, California says no to cheap

This analysis won’t work well because people will compare the what happened to the what happened. “It wasn’t worth 100,000 deaths to kill the economy” will be the stupid refrain. Never mind that what kind of economy would we have had with 2

I've been doing woodworking with handtools, and it's amazing what 90 year old tools can do. I bought an old stanley plane in good condition, and was able to start pulling cuttings that are 4/1000" easily. My modern lee

I bet there'll be a few different ways to 'prove' yourself to public places, and people who decide to tell them to 'go fuck off' - well they'll become social pariahs. After all - the first amendment allows for

Yes, the issue is becoming dollars. There are programs in place that seek to do this. Specifically "food stamps" -> the latest bill funds these a lot more. But due to years of people handwringing over abuse, and "economi

This isn't an accurate picture of the US Federal government. Now that congress has passed the law, it's up to the EXECUTIVE BRANCH of the government to make it happen. There's a politician at the head of that - POTUS. People

This looks like the kind of documentation that all end users would get. Enough to do PM maybe, enough to operate it, enough to satisfy regulatory requirements (eg: prove how the tech was tested, what those procedures were, controls on the

Americans are going to be handling it but the POTUS has multiple well known weaknesses that was always going to cripple response. Weird you expected better out fo him.

Actually then CFR would probably be like 5% if medical services would be overcome. So more like 11m excess deaths.

Conspiracy not needed. It’s winter. Old people die from the flu. Viral pneumonia. Without RNA tests the causes of death aren’t entire trustable. Consider the US: the numbers are low because we are under testing people. Significantly under c

People presuming that there’s a difference in viral behavior between countries and that’s why some countries, in these early days, are showing statistical differences. But this is folly. There is no evidence that some “peoples” fare better

Is there a n:m green threading mode for python? What does gunicorn/gevent do? Sounds like “not that”. Yes best practices and all that, but that really doesn’t sound like what’s happening.

Citation needed. The only thing I’ve seen even remotely to this is... no one under 10 has died. That’s a lot different than what you said.

I had my urgent prepper moment last Monday. I realized that the chances of doing stock up prior to panic and price and crowded places was shrinking and I didn’t know how fast. I got spooked when a target seemed to be out of a lot of things.
