The centrists are definitely the most scared right now. If they can't trust their institutions what remains of the ideology? Their entire worldview is crumbling right now. Actually having to rummage around for values and some instinct

The most likely catastrophe remains giving capital outsized influence on our society. It's the easiest to imagine, and the idea of a capitalist making a money-making machine that can actually think for itself and wields actual power fe

You can also attach them to each others bits and make them fight at the end of the job. Waste of money? Yes. A massive amount of fun for the boys? Absolutely.

This doesn't feel terribly surprising to me. MacOS has always had impressively performant parts, but their upgrades always generally lower responsiveness. On modern hardware it's less perceptible obviously, and they want to sell m

Eh. Containers will have their day.

No. Wasm is not useful enough yet. Neither are containers.

> Why would the CIA council things? It would be president and state department. The CIA absolutely counciled ukraine. Why would you think otherwise? This is precisely the CIA wheelhouse.

I just don't care. I hate my car. I resent relying on it. Whether it works or not is something for my employer to care about.

I can't say I care without any recourse to remediation.

I don't really care about how it performs so long as it's better than a CPU. I just want to target the GPU myself and remove the vendor from the software equation. Nvidia has taught me there isn't any value that can't be

Damn I could have gotten the "no fluff" version by looking at wikipedia or just googling. Why do people expect their non-fiction reading to be entertaining? That's not the point and I inherently don't trust your judgemen

> I’ve definitely met people that were equally competent at both Tbh this is a meaningless statement. How on earth is any sane person supposed to compare competencies? I both describe myself as full-stack and associate with other people

Gee let's consider here why nobody trusts the cia. Anyone who says otherwise is either trying to get along with another american or is simply retarded. But I repeat myself. We americans are not a terribly skeptical people and absolutel

Even framing the conversation this way is quite odd. What's wrong with being old? Since when did software expire? All the best software is old. And, frankly, all software is boring. So this leaves us with no way to distinguish quality

Yes, he's an amazing writer regardless of his target. I primarily think of his christian apologetic work, though, hence why I was teasing his obsession with western (and particularly christian) text. I love Chesterton. I was just ribbi

The second part of that adage was added on I believe centuries after the attestation of the first part. It's still a nice saying, of course. I think there's a third part to the phrase but I can't remember it for the life of m

The vast majority of people learn this on the job. This is certainly not taught in schools (or is only barely scratched as a topic).

Bro you found the most biased news sources on the planet. How about you cite the financial times if this is so clear? I don't see any evidence that the CIA counciled Ukraine to avoid war. I see a lot of evidence that they'd push f
