You can prefer what you like. To us what you are saying is a bit creepy.

You'd simply not care about what happens to someone after a break-up at all ? With someone you were otherwise prepared to spend your entire life with - given your anti-"promiscuity" position? If you were prepared to just dro

Perfectly good reason, in my opinion! Seeing this brought back memories of reading PC Zone back in late '90s, one issue in particular which had a special on "Getting Online" where they laid out various browsers, email clients

Weird, I remember a lot of talk around that time of self-driving cars being their future and the reason why they had such a sky-high valuation. Guess I missed this news mid-Covid

They invested a tonne of money in self-driving vehicles. If they didn't intend to utilise them then what on earth were they doing, lighting money on fire for fun?

Is a profit of $394m one quarter sufficient indication that this kind of criticism was wrong? As far as I recall, Uber lost quite a bit more money than this each year since 2016 so they'd have to repeat this a few times if we're t

"X is genius" has become normalised. It sounds stupid and lazy to me, but it seems to be popular enough (particularly among YouTubers and Gen Z) that I'm outvoted and in the minority.

Yep, that's yet another Zachtronics game on my radar. I'm gonna come back to TIS-100 sometime after I beat Elden Ring (Autumn, perhaps, when it's not so sunny and nice outside), will do something different (Ghostrunner or Neo

Yeah a friend of mine was into spacechem and tbh it sounded tougher than TIS-100 from how he described it. I really like this kind of game, I just wish I had more time for them :)

I'd say that for a couple of generations at least (and perhaps further) those taking part in Guy Fawkes bonfires and fireworks did so because it's the thing you do on that day , not out of some anti-catholic sentiment. So while i

Well these likely will be entirely different groups of people voicing their opinions at different times. I don't imagine those who were enthusiastic about the project originally have done an about-face and now hate it.

Oh god you just reminded me I am about 5 problems away from "completing" TIS-100. I can't recall specifically which one I was on but I ended up spending way too much time on the game overall and needed to step back and do o

In Wright's case what's funnier is that after his little trickery in his attempts to prove he's Satoshi (which fell to bits immediately), he was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to keep up the act. He came up with some

I sympathise with you, I'm a little tired of these same recycled comments every time the Python comes up.

I think the CPython core devs are very keenly aware of these issues. Otherwise they'd have announced a plan to suddenly rip out the GIL altogether, rather than a phased approach that allows people to opt-in to the no-GIL mode.

Calling it a "grift" may be harsh, but "Havana syndrome" as a result of some kind of Cuban sonic super-weapon that happens to have the same noise as some local crickets was definitely an enormous stretch. That plenty of

I don't hate Medium, it just feels out of place here.

I don't have a great view of how the organization behind Jupyter operates, but I'd be really surprised if they went with Medium as a way to support themselves. What feels off is an open source project (likely by accident or unwi
