You are suspicious because a tech company - which maintains the second-most-used browser in the world - wants to be more inclusive, as in, make people feel more comfortable with their products and community? That's pretty sad.

You'd be surprised how many people fall back on movies and television to provide context and background to their lives and situations.

Cool site! Couple of things - You should probably hardcode a limit somewhere for queries without one. Far better practice than relying on user's good behavior. - I tried 'drop table movies;' and it didn't drop the table,

My job is essentially meaningless and does nothing for the world and the code I write is absolutely garbage because I don't care enough and no one cares enough to critique it or write it themselves. But I get paid 160k/yr so it&#x

Continuing technical progress just for the sake of progress and at the expense of human life and dignity feels absurd.

In Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia they literally can fry a man to death using Victorian-era electric technology. But sure, we are making progress.

Your post is just not true. There are writers, artists, actors, etc who have been discovered through Twitter or have used it to significantly broaden their audience. @sosadtoday and Mira Gonzalez are two writers off her top of my head who b

HP M252dw has been the most reliable home option for me. I run a small press and have printed tens of thousands of pages in a span of about six months and all it needed was new ink. Colors look great, text is crisp. You can print to it via

What talks did you attend at HOPE? There were tons of hard technical presentations. The two guys who cracked the Iridium satellite network in particular were amazing, going into deep detail on the techniques and methods used to decode the f

Vice is incredibly shady and unethical in my opinion. They champion local DIY scenes and lament the loss of music venues yet their new offices are directly responsible for the closure of 3 venues in NYC (they were all part of the industrial

Urbit, to me, is an elitist joke filled with needlessly obscurantist terminology. If it takes off I will eat my foot but I doubt it. To me it's just another example of the Valley bubble where they want "to change the world" b

Absolutely. I'm in NYC for HOPE this weekend. Coming from Silicon Valley where 1% of the workers are black, I was so happy to see such a huge diverse crowd at the conference, all there for the shared love of exploring technology and ha

My dad's friend is a lawyer in Boston and I remember he had a big case and needed to review some of the evidence urgently - it was security cam footage. However he had no idea how to play the video file, it was in some obscure format.

What is absolutely baffling to me is that companies assign coding tests as a pre-qualifier for the usual whiteboard interview despite the coding test being a far more adequate measure of the abilities of an engineer. I've had intervi
