i think you have a caricature of "leftists" in your mind. perhaps you dislike the degree to which "leftists" attempted to categorize hate speech, and that's fine, but you really are attempting to equate apples with

still wrong. hate speech isnt protected and that was the primary type of speech banned and it really irked the right that they couldnt spew vitriol with impunity. within moments of complaining about being "doxxed" (he wasnt), elon

the problem is that when the people who complained about the behavior now celebrate and initiate the behavior, it renders their initial objection as insincere and self-serving. what i've seen is that a lot of this is less about complai

i had the opposite experience where i moved jobs from and the transition from concur to expensify was brutal. duplicate or blackholed entries and submissions. obfuscated mandatory policies. obtuse allocation methods, and per diem breakdowns

apparently the red delicious was selectively bred for appearance over taste and texture according to an article (which i cannot find) i read a few years ago (and somehow retained this information). now the darlings are, apparently, pink lad

the all-or-nothing approach is prevalent in both camps. i’ve worked in places where a straightforward optimization could not be implemented because it would require the developers to break from the orm-only standard they’d set. i’ve also wo

if i have the app open for longer than 4 hours the memory footprint bloats to 6GB. it's absurd. using the msedge webapp i _only_ bloat to about 2GB. edit: on my win10 machine

this happened to both me and my wife. never heard back. account remains unavailable. multiple follow ups went to black holes.

sblgnt is a decent basis for literary analysis but it’s NT only. the non-trivial part of your work is to navigate the oddly byzantine bible licensing considerations

i like this thread and wish to tug at it a bit. i’m not so sure we _can_ fix it or even _should_ fix it. in my opinion, fixing implies a standard of perfection. it’s an imperfect system, formulated by imperfect people - the types we’re goin

both of you are speaking in absolutes and are failing to see the middle. in the us the “exasperatingly dumb” are in power because they cater to the base emotions of their electorate. it’s a hard truth of representative democratic democracy

“fall of civilizations” podcast episode 4 ( https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/2019/03/26/episode-4-... ) has an interesting, and alternative, take on this but to distill it, like so many other episodes in

fun fact: i was on a flight to seoul out of seatac that left only minutes before that. what a crazy experience to land in incheon to a flurry of texts asking about our safety and arrival.

i'm not saying it doesnt exist, just that it's not as prevalent as people want it to be. i'd argue that even then, most of the time it's an exploitation of biases and not a new installation of foreign beliefs.

yes and no. it is somewhat alarmist as the olfactory bulb is anatomically part of the brain and is responsible for initial transmission of the olfactory signals for further processing in the amygdala. it essentially completes the circuit be

oddly my account was just disabled without informing me of how i violated TOS. i was just mocking and condescending toward boebert and cruz. thanks elon

the biggie for me was that analytic window functions are either non-existent or experimental and must be achieved with array function hacks. it does have nice built-in skew and kurtosis functions, though.

i really dislike clickhouse for anything less than rudimentary analysis, but appreciate that it’s fast for that.

i didn’t know it was him ahead of time but when i watched it on a flight a few weeks ago i pegged it as standard zimmer work. it was like blade runner 2049 and gladiator had a baby. quite derivative. enjoyable, but derivative.

i’m not arguing anything. there was confusion about SQL being in the title and the storage being KV. so i was trying to relay information that may advance the conversation.

have had the exact same negative experience with this as well. imagine a hellscape with crowdstrike falcon, defender, and beyond trust all running on the same machines.

every new dotnet package, powershell module, go module, container image, etc that i pull and want to start using results in about 10 minutes of complete system unavailability due to defender going off the rails with ram and cpu consumption.

odd that this is downvoted. it’s an unpopular, but necessary, perspective to hear presented (mostly) rationally. i disagree with a few of its foundational premises, but then, it disagrees with some of mine (e.g. Nato intransigence on its “o
