I don't really care whether money changed hands. Secretly putting an ad into software that you know will be distributed to many people is the oldest scumbag move in the scumbag book. All sympathy ended there, and that was weeks before

I had the same question and it mostly looks like rationalist/libertarian space posting like you saw a lot of on the internet in the 2000s in particular. His wife seems to be active in similar areas (went on a far right think tank podca

Same. Yelp is for finding pics of menus and food. Googling "<name of city> restaurants reddit" is for finding good places to go.

Not surprised. CodeCommit was released alongside a stable of other mediocre tools for CI/CD (CodePipeline and CodeDeploy if I recall correctly) that reflected the pinnacle of AWS's mid-to-late 2010s attitude, which is to find some

Interesting article, but FYI, I'm not sure if it's because of my mild color blindness, but making out some of the colors on those first couple pictures is next to impossible.

Not unless you want to or someone does it for your own benefit. Especially if you play an instrument where getting a baseline level of competence in reading and playing written music is all you need to be able to do to be part of the ense

I think it depends on the grower. Fairly certain some take some liberties like growing one of the plants under insane conditions to make this happen and then get their lab sample from it. My experience has been that the THC-A stuff I'v

Yeah, it really is surprising how explicit most cases of it are. UberEats won out in one of the cities I lived in because initially it offered free delivery , discouraged tipping, and had next to no fees. I just gave you some food at home

I would also say that it was never even close to reasonable competition to commercial alternatives until it open sourced, and it was a while after that before it started to catch up. I still remember some of the artists at Gearbox laughing

Foucault was a genius with many of his critiques of power. The panopticon, biopower, his genealogical historical narrative techniques, etc. His works are also often a surprise to people I know who read them for the first time because they e

One of the impressive results of this to me is that it can capture illocutionary meaning, which is something that language modeling struggled with in the past. This is why if you say "Are you sure?" after one of its statements, it
