I'm not sure what the original commenter meant, but some of us (a minority I'm sure) believe that no person deserves arrest, prosecution and jail in the forms they exist today even if that person is guilty of a crime. Things can

Stalking, harassing and doxxing is indefensible, but not being able to wrap one's head around gender is understandable I think. Often people want, whether trans or not, to express their gender in terms of constructs like name, languag

Some kind of trust system or network to allow assured, secure outsourcing for large financial institutions which would in turn mean lots of little start ups doing lots of little things well. Currently large banks, funds etc spend huge amou

Agreeing on the provenance of the warming seems to be a red herring when we urgently need to figure out how climate change affects us. Which areas will be flooded, which areas will become inhabitable, will we be able to grow more food or l

I wish GitFlow had not called that branch "master", and had called it "released" or "production" instead. It's really useful to have a branch which you know always exactly represents the code running in p

I became good at sevens working in a pharmacy store room in a large hospital where we did continue to count in weeks. Boxes of 112 were common. Inside you would find blister packs arranged in rows of seven with the days of the week printe
