What's the reasoning behind blocking, apparently, all but 5 TLDs? I could see sketchy ones like XYZ being blocked, but the default whitelist is a bit... Bare.

Not supporting websites from a fairly big country with a strong economy is a failure on their part, either way. I bet they support TLDs like TV (Tuvalu), or IO (Indian Ocean Territory).

That's right, but the output of the help command doesn't provide any indication as to what shell I'm running still.

Do you mean if you pay, say, 20% tax in Switzerland as an Australian, never setting foot in Australia for an income year. Then you lodge tax in Australia and the ATO says you only have tax credits for 20% of your income, meanwhile you'

You know, it's kinda funny - I am a citizen of both Georgia and the first country on the list of approved countries there, and was thinking about spending a month or two over there since my job went remote only. Yet, due to my ties to

I'm not so sure about the Cantonese/ Mandarin part, since a fair few professors I've had, had those as a native tongue. Hell, even my thesis supervisor was, with whom I communicated extensively. I can't really pinpoint w

Username definitely checks out, but are you advocating for automatically harsher penalties, scaled by net worth? What problem would it solve, except for encouraging poor people to commit more crimes, since they'd now face relatively le

YOLOv4's authors were connected to previous ones to some extent at least, unlike YOLOv5's 'authors'. I don't particularly care either way, but attacking people put off by intentionally confusing naming is probably n

Water resistance and a headphone jack are not mutually exclusive though, my Xperia Z5 managed both just fine!

(Bluetooth) vs (Bluetooth, AUX) supported connection methods for different phones sure sounds like feature disparity to me. Your analogy is more akin to something like a glass back vs a hard plastic back on a phone, so maybe re-assess that.

Why are you attacking a "fanbase" mentality when there is none? YOLO stood for a series of networks and subsequent improvements by PJ Redmon, derivative work like PP-YOLO still signals that it's derivative work, but ones like

So someone born into an environment not conducive to academic development, or with mental challenges etc does not deserve enough to live off? That's exactly the problem UBI would aim to solve, but you seem against it. No SWE makes as m

Have you found a way to deal with this? Swear I have refind on the non-Windows disk, but Windows updates sometimes replaces either the partition, or the default boot device. Mega frustrating!

So Rust, Python, Julia etc are no more productive, safe, or easy to use than programming was in 1959?

You're using random numbers and referring to them as some universally accepted truths, in order to justify smaller transgressions. How is that fuel for a rational conversation? Edit: also, your entire justification for this spying is t

Where are all these numbers coming from? Would you be ok with a publicly broadcasted CCTV in your bedroom, since one in your bathroom would be 1e4 times worse?

I haven't really seen speed tests go below 60 Mbps or so in the crowded residential building I live in! Don't worry, the shitty and overpriced fiber we get more than offsets the quality our wireless network may have.

GitLab was rumoured to be suspending hiring in Russia and China, but I can't see a reference to it on their page. They ban seemingly random countries [0] like Sweden, while allowing hires in Australia, wonder what their rationale is.

On common topics like Facebook, neural networks, and China, the comment section would look no different. Hell, the exact same conversations end up happening most of the time, too.

Is it? A few replies here are mentioning being happy with ~40 Mbps in bigger cities, meanwhile the last time I ran a speedtest in a busy CBD in Australia I got 600Mbps or so on 4G.

I meant to say most SWEs, which you seemed to have inferred anyway. Why do you think that's wrong? I simply claimed MATLAB is much more commonly used by scientists and non-SW engineers. Most SWE jobs are in B2B, web development, embedd

Isn't "weird == not seen it before" anyway? I get what you're trying to say, but MATLAB is not really a programming language SWEs would use, so if that's the best example you can think of, Lua's bound to confus

Lack of sleep is one hell of a hallucinogen! I've found I mostly just momentarily see things that are not there, like at all. It doesn't even surprise me much anymore, not that being used to sleep deprivation is a good thing :)

Not necessarily practical for everyday use, but can you navigate using earphones? I tried that when negotiating European cities like Basel, and Copenhagen on electric scooters, and it worked really well. Just start navigation, and preferabl

From the article: "In programming speak, “master” refers to the main version of code that controls the “slaves,” or the replicas." Nevermind that the master copy doesn't control anything at all, it is a master copy of the rep

What do you think (ex)terminate means, while not being a quite direct reference to catastrophic events?
