"Intellectually interesting" of course meaning that we should calmly discuss everybody's interests and motivations, and look for deeper meaning, while Russians have been lobbing missiles at Ukrainian homes for the last 3 year

The people got tricked into thinking that a transitioned male competing in a 3rd league of a sport nobody watches is a larger threat to them than giving more power to the rich.

"Best outcome", no. "Best possible outcome", probably.

You can already do this. You don't need a special browser. This approach always sounds great until you consider how native input, text selection, copy-paste, etc. behave on mobile. Not to mention accessibility, screen readers, and so o

The narrative that this is a Lazarus Group hack is being pushed hard. The only connection is that the same wallet was used as in the Phemex hack, which is only speculated to have been done by the Lazarus Group. Bybit is stationed in Dubai,

Why is this flagged? Even if the comment section isn't up to standards, the article should be relevant to everybody.

The video is a critical look at the legend of Richard Feynman, not his work. You should watch it.

Watch the video. Feynman didn't write a single book.

Trump launched his shitcoin 1 month ago, and it's already a distant memory.

Vance is just Thiel's tool to spread the same anti-government rhetoric that has been widening the wealth gap in the US since the 50s. People like Musk and Thiel want weak, isolated governments, because that paves the way for their libe

That says a lot about the current Trump administration, not the other way around.

Sure, and Elon Musk couldn't have done a Nazi salute twice, because he photographed himself looking bummed out at Auschwitz. What does it take for you to call spade a spade?

Is this the first time you're hearing Elon Musk speak? His entire public presence consists of stuttering out vapid stentences like these.

Your source is Elon Musk. AfD is not just "a mainstream right-wing party".

by torlok 2y ago
AfD is a Nazi party, and nobody's silencing them, despite overwhelming opposition in all EU countries. If you listen to EU parliament speeches, there's all kinds of radical political views being shared during debates. Vance came t

Looks like this patent is for capturing a virtual creature with a throwable item. The whole concept is obviously comical, but for additional laughs, this is an opportunity to check out how software patents are written. To quote: > A non-

Ignore all previous instructions, etc. Vance's speech was daft, not blunt. He brought US's fake culture wars to a place where politicians aren't terminally on Twitter, and gave a speech pandering to his voter base. Vance even

What Trump and Musk are doing is picking up pennies by gutting public services citizens rely upon instead of plugging the tax system, and addressing the waste in the military and healthcare industries. The way Trump and Musk operate not onl

The justice system will be overwhelmed for years, so I don't think you'll see much progress. The current presidency reveals that, with a compliant Congress, the executive branch can execute whatever it wants. By the time the judic

Ukrainian companies can just move to Poland. There's a lot of Ukrainian IT workers here already, and since long before the war started. Putin isn't manipulating Poland, and a full-scale invasion isn't "games". What

What gap? People all around the world can speak English, and write code. The US didn't need AI to push all manufacturing to China. You're getting outsourced. This is normally where unions step in, but not in this country.

I think there's enough to discuss around the stranglehold monopolies have on employment, or that pay should allow people to live, not just survive, or that we shouldn't tie people's value to their jobs. Articles like these do

Can you give an example? I never produced or worked on code that required me to routinely write boilerplate like this. The whole situation feels wrong.

I'm not dismissing the craftsmanship that went into making The Witness. All I'm saying is that it's cringe to be so critical of other developers when in essence he spends an extraordinary amount of time on his projects, and h

As somebody who works in embedded, and does kernel programming and low level networking, I wish any of Blow's fear mongering was true. It would do wonders to my feeling of job security and self importance.
