Weird, how does that even work? Does cracked mean its' been decompiled? It's strange because it includes other stuff like build scripts, etc that wouldn't be in released binaries..

You should check out Gabor Mate (there are many good interviews on youtube) to understand the nature of addicting, especially as it pertains to things beyond drugs and alcohol. The high level summary is that addiction is usually less about

Simple, direct, democratic. $1000 is a good amount - for those in need it can be stretched to go a long way (just imagine the status quo alternative). For those who are more comfortable, it's an easy amount that can be saved, donated,

Amazon literally siphons off the data and has invested so little in its users. Any recommendations for an alternative?

Apple has an opportunity to stand separate as a leader in user privacy first. But to do so means constantly standing up to government(s).

Everyone in the comments crying "I'd never buy a car without a test drive first" as though you need dealerships to offer a chance to drive their cars. Why not order a test drive experience online to appear at your door, just

That's impressive! I agree, I think where distraction comes into play is an inhibitor to actually get started reading.

Really good points. I found this video ("Is Utopia always Dystopia?") fascinating, delving into similar territory about expanding our idea of what utopia, and thus a better future, can be. https://www.youtube.com/w

> Another thing I've learned is that we are extremely brittle about this practice, as a society. Our thinking about keeping logs tends to be black & white (a common sign of lack of education on the matter) and we hesitate or thi

The refactored page brings up good points. Git has undeniably improved the world of software development, and is de facto the version control system to use in the majority of cases today. That said, that doesn't make the points SQLite

I'd like to, but what is a reasonable alternative? I mainly want a social place to share and connect with friends, many of whom are not technical people. If they were, things would be much easier...

Too bad you can't read any of it with the garbled ^M rendering on GitHub.

IMHO: Sublime was once leading the way as a light weight, easily customizable editor. Since then, a slow release cycle and various compelling alternatives like Atom and VS Code, has led many users away. So in this thread you see people not

This is beautiful and amazing. I love how each step builds on the previous, and uses pop examples to explain theory concepts. I've often wondered so many of the things presented in this, particularly around what common characteristics

Thanks for that. Any other NK-related films you recommend that go beyond surface shock value (e.g. Vice documentaries) or ignorant comedy (The Interview)?

Wow this is captivating, but panning with the mouse on a desktop is so frustrating, the image movement is opposite what I expect! (browsing on a desktop, Windows/Chrome)

I'm learning to love git. How awesome is it to be able to continue committing, branching and all that locally even when the server goes down?
