Yet people learn best from examples, so I don't get why every monad explanation is in reverse like that. The Z is Y. The Y is an X that does W. ...omitted... Here's C, B and A. Now you understand! First comment in this thread is e

An internet finds a bitter satire of his industry and is endlessly amused at taking the piss out of sincere but naive youngsters who debate technical concerns without understanding the appropriate context and history. The mocker misses the

Slack, minus the ability to gracefully run in any sort of long term roaming context without babysitting. There's no decent reconnecting logic on either client or server, you just have to notice it's gone quiet, and then figure out

I thought pointing out post-truth politics was good? But only if the left does it, I suppose... Character assassinations from afar are nothing new. It's been the progressive activists' favoured weapon for sure.

That donation ad at the bottom is hilarious, in context. Sorry Guardian, but you're not getting a cent from me after all the tripe you published. Throw out all the click bait opinion pieces and stop removing comments that show they&#x2

"Diversity of opinion? For starters, American newsrooms are not very diverse along racial or gender lines, ..." They're just categorically unable to see what's staring them right in the face, aren't they? Stop. Equa

Not everything has to be equally discoverable. By that same logic, the majority of right click interactions are off the table. You can right click window icons in Windows too, with no visual cue either, they just act different and the surfa

You can right click on the folder/document icon in the title bar in any app, and you can left click it to drag it. The icon, not the window. What's bizarre is how Windows has trained people to see icons as non interactive stickers

I recently discovered the detailed and amazingly accessible Aqua Human Interface Guidelines from their golden years have been completely gutted and replaced with the macOS guidelines that cover only the basics. They've abandoned years

If you're ever in doubt about the regressive left's tunnel vision and lack of critical thinking, just visit one of these threads, and watch the people unable to distinguish descriptive from normative claims come out of the woodwor

You know that thing about how old ideas in science can only really be replaced when their supporters die? Unix greybeards, this is about you.

No it's because XMPP's multi device semantics are the opposite of what you want, and they never got offline messaging and file sharing to work reliably across clients. XMPP was created for and by geeks who roam from workstation to

I like the party line analogy, and for once the spectre of anonymous trolls isn't used as a catch all. Twitter definitely jumped the shark a while ago. The hashtags got hijacked by brands and activists for hollow signaling and market

You can flip this around just the same. These "women in tech" have never heard of men being treated awfully, while women complain loudly and get easy attention when they do, so it _must_ be much worse for them. This too is a bias,

Nobody seems to be capable of explaining this properly. It's like monad tutorials, they explain what happens while mistakenly thinking they are telling you why it happens. I keep trying to fit this idea into my head and I can't be

If they were good sports they could've gotten their revenge in the fictional realm. Or the DM could've intervened. As explained, there was an unspoken rule broken, and the response was to escalate to complete silent treatment and

"Stop, apologize, until you understand what you did was wrong." The OPs coworkers are pulling the most obvious high school mean girls routine, and OP must grovel to be let back in? F that. It's just a game, and instead of giv

Except that WP has its own arcane laws and policies used to great effect by regulars to ensure no outside voice is given a say in truly contentious articles. e.g. If you try to get involved, you are a "single purpose account". If

This thing of turning fan bases into named tribes weirds me out. Yet another sign most people just want a club to belong to, and actual principles don't matter.

Strange how this new awareness about class lead to identity politics becoming the left's focus for the subsequent campaigns and activism efforts, resulting in a president who ran purely on her own gender losing to one who ran on econom

No, signaling in this context is a term referring to conspicuous behavior meant to substitute a difficult to prove characteristic (e.g. being a principled person acting morally) with an easy to perform ritual (e.g. sharing opinions with lik

There's a lot of scrutiny on the present, but the same applies to the origin stories around us. If history is written by the victors, what did the people who lost have to say? Reading books from the early 20th century for instance show

The problem is the new MBP is a new product masquerading as an upgrade. Had they called it the Macbook Touch and just bumped the specs on the current Pro, everyone would be happy, and they could see for themselves whether anyone cares or wh

You cannot teach taste and vision. Apple giving up monitors is the clearest sign of that: it's the face of the computer, so much that novices confused it for the computer itself. The Jobs-style answer was the all-in-one iMacs and the m

It's not so much one group as an ideology spread though media and academia, but some did try to take on the label sincerely in an attempt to reclaim its reputation (Guardian columnist Laurie Penny comes to mind). Regardless, columnists

Unfortunately that sub is as politically left as it can get. Downvotes galore if you dare to disagree with the agenda of identity politics. Best part: they upvoted and agreed with NPR that lefties are impervious to fake news and can quickly
