There's no avoiding moral choice in news. Propaganda works. "A lie travels round the world before the truth can get it's boots on." To enable liars is absolutely evil and you cannot avoid making decisions about who is l

Why waste admiration on someone who has been very well rewarded for what they did? I'd rather admire people who acted out of altruism. A soldier dying to save his friends - nobody can give more than their life and nothing can compensat

That might be what you would do but I think the man is a shit and I only mention his achievements out of duty to try to be fair. If I wasn't interested in being fair I'd just say I don't care what he has done - he has been p

The new part is that it's using Americium. That's it. It's a challenge to use the material for various reasons but the wonderful thing about it is that it's easier to get hold of apparently. The UK, in fact, has a proble

The Pi isn't one thing - it's a group of computers at different prices - you can develop on the expensive one and run your production code on a much cheaper one.

This is not really about honesty - if someone asks your opinion you can explain your concerns diplomatically - but if they don't then you can also keep quiet. It's more about whether you're going to actively point out a probl

Yes, don't let other people channel it towards themselves! You're in a company, - they will fire you when it becomes convenient to do so - don't burn yourself out for them!

Your experience is not a scientific experiment so you also have to consider that you might have been lucky. Perhaps other people have been unlucky. For example, I could paint your post in a negative light: "A poster who blames the vic

A person researching cancer doesn't need to do it because they're desperate to pay off the mortgage. They can do it because it's interesting, or a personal challenge. There are a lot of people with advanced degrees now - we

Why shouldn't you sleep more if you want to? Why should you feel under pressure to not sleep because you have to add 0s to some billionaire's account - that's exactly what my daily work is about BTW.

This is not about idleness or laziness at all. It's about working for the man versus doing what you want to do.

I was thinking recently that there's enough food to feed everyone but some people cannot afford to buy it. Hence there are food banks in an apparently "first world" country like the UK. Just to annoy some Americans...what&#

Keep yourself busy on one thing if you want to. If you don't then why are you doing it?

I have to laugh because I find almost all programmers are like this. They are almost always people who like making things. A lot of them are musicians too. I find DIY to be similar - you get a physical result, you use your hands to make so

After writing build systems for a C/C++ operating system and years optimising builds for C/C++ operating systems the major disaster by far is the C preprocessor. This is the source of all the evil. Even a hello world program invol

I have used number prefixes for repeating a very pervasive change that has to be done 1000s of times. When you're in that situation no other editor is any good and it's particularly useful for a complicated change which you record

ast-grep is a fabulous tool imo. I'm generally happier doing a large change at the commandline anyhow.

They only do that because it has worked for them. They've done it and survived, which makes me think they haven't actually pissed off that many people.

It's very much a problem that Whatsapp isn't using an open protocol IMO. I really want to use Signal for my family and yet one has to jump from app to app to talk to other people. It's ridiculous - all I'm asking is for

There is one big UK powerplant that does that, Drax and it's a big controversy. It's about 5% of the UK's electricty capacity. To quote the BBC: "In response to the latest findings by the BBC, Drax admitted it has taken

En**ifiers obviously do their best to penetrate any successful company. Is it a terrible surprise? Shareholders probably want it - up to the point where the whole thing goes "poof" - then of course they don't want it.

It was a very cheap thing off Amazon. I'm in the UK so you might not have it - the brand name is "VPFET KVM Switch 2x1" and it has 4 usb, 1 HDMI outputs and 2x(1 HDMI,1 usb) inputs. It's the cheapest in their range, I th

I often feel that having a "comfortable" keyboard/mouse/monitor is more important than a fast CPU or a fancy graphics card - just because of that slight extra feeling of pleasure/ease that lasts all day long :-). Th

This is a good article to send to non-programmers. Just as programmers need domain knowledge, those who are trying to get something out of programmers need to understand a bit about it. I think I recognise that tiny diffs that I might comm

Yes, Tesla are not streets ahead anymore in range. The infotainment is still widely considered to be best but other manufacturers are improving and do well on other metrics which may balance it up for you. There are also a lot more reasona
