this seems like one of those articles that’ll give me a small panic attack. if “everything you experience is just action potentials in the brain” sets one near to existential terror, should one avoid reading this article?

does “simplest” here mean simplest for the user to use, or simplest for the dev to build? these are sometimes completely opposed to one another. an example: filtering a large table of data on multiple fields in an otherwise fully-server-ren

quick answers from my personal experience: - keyboard-only workflow is fast and comfortable for me. less friction, no “aiming”, scriptable actions - typically faster and smaller apps - easily organizable and navigable (again entirely keyboa

oh give me a fucking break you know what it means, stop being obtuse. “how to live entirely in a terminal”. the author is talking about using terminal-only applications (which of course have interfaces and “graphical” components)

how did this post even end up here? OP says he reads and takes notes. is this interesting or news to anyone?

off the top of my head i can think of a few non-racist, potentially useful motivations. here’s a random one: say you’re an EMT responding to a medical emergency and you have limited time to check for the top few health emergencies likely in

i think you’re misunderstanding the important parts of the analogy (and as a result calling me a racist, which is ridiculous). i’m saying all people are on a continuum of genetic difference and that some groups are clumped together along th

you say “obviously” there is no genetic criterion for being Latino... there’s nothing obvious about that at all. you say here yourself they aren’t a random sample of the population - then what are they? and whatever it is that ties these in

by vcavallo 7y ago
we are not talking about the same meaning of “race” then. you’re talking almost entirely about socio-cultural elements (here. not earlier about Latinos, you should notice). see my above comment about Inuits and Pygmies and notice how your t

What else could it possibly be determined by? Perhaps we're talking about different definitions of the word "race". Are you saying that the phenotypic differences between an Inuit and an African Pygmy ( https://en.w

how about “a phenotypically and statistically relevant portion of one’s DNA can be traced back to X region over the range of Y years ago”? nobody is saying anything about “racial theory” in society at large. more so that certain particular

i think it’s a principle thing. for 90% of people, they’ll use it with default settings. seems like OP doesn’t want to support the usage of those default services in general (say, google search default?), so supporting a product that implic

i basically agree with you and would want the same if i were to be paying for it. but. usually when companies try to sell a thing they try to make it _less_ alienating, not more. loosening up wallets is hard enough; when you pry out all the
