Just curious: What is the relationship between Reddit moderation and conference funding. I seem to have missed your point. Could you please elaborate further?

I have attended a few PyCon, and fleetingly visited/watched several similar conferences. There seems to be enough instances where presenters have pressed companies like FAGMA to correct certain implementations in their product stack. E

The basic premise that the author is expounding is "CS research will be guided by industry interests". This is good to most extent, save a few very remote situations. Conference funding in particular has a very tenuos relationship

This is just my observation & I don't know if others might have noticed: Netflix streams sharp pixels towards the center of the screen, and the backgrounds are always bit worse due to the bandwidth constraints perhaps. It perhaps w

I forgot my laptop backpack on the benches in Shibuya station on a drunk Friday night. The station staff retrieved and kept it for me. I thought it was a goner and I was few months old to Japan then. The honesty system works on mutual trust

It was not necessary for me to find a partner in the same field (CS/Engineering). Much rather I thought being a nerd, my opinions could have conflicted a lot had my partner been a co-worker. I ended up falling in love and marrying a la

I believe there is a billboard which even ranks the most annoying tracks every year. I remember Frozen's "Let it go" & James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" were on it too. Not recommending GP should do it

It is unfortunate to see Russia turn from a gray actor to a rogue state within a fortnight. Real loss is of course borne by people.

Thats sounding more like being an Apple apologist. And there are certainly other uses of graphics without using PS or InDesign involved e.g Meshlab 3D renders, computer graphics & raytracing where more RAM definitely counts. Upselling t

I am genuinely crestfallen that there was no update to Mac Mini. That thing has the right balance for most computer science folks who want a Mac. Not everyone needs/runs a silicon Godzilla on their desk after all. As of the current lin

A bit off topic but the PowerMac translucent towers were beautiful. I wish apple brought those back albeit in a smaller form factor. It wouldn't hurt to see the Mac Pro in such a casing.

Hate to differ in opinion but looking at Adobe products and they way they are memory hogs & spawn thousands of files on Mac/Windows, this does constitute poor quality SWE. They have a successful product and became market leaders -

There is more potential for misuse than the well-intentioned good use. When a counterfeit has the likeness of a legal tender, it is hard to check where transactions (like donations) are done en massé. Edit: This comment is about the general

I am not sure where was this comment pointing at, but Henry Kissinger despite his fallacies, negotiated two of the bloodiest conflicts in post-WWII theater: Vietnam War & the Yom Kippur War. Now, some may still be critical of the first,

If I may, I will rephrase your closing statement in tl;dr as : "If you're not bothered about how the world is changing around you, it should not surprise you one day if it came with devastating effects"
