On the ops side, /r/selfhosted and /r/homelab often come up in searches with pretty good content. /r/aws is also okay, but there's obviously also a lot of certification and amazon event noise. On the dev s

I don't think reddit is a good use of a programmer's time these days if you are seeking community. There are a few exceptional subreddits, but /r/programming, /r/learnprogramming, /r/webdev, and &#x2F

Why would you automatically assume a hiring manager wants the exact opposite of what he/she claims? I tend to take people at their word.

I love your work Felix. I've been using Cold Turkey for a couple of years now, and it's a pretty irreplaceable tool for people with focus issues.

What does this have to do with capitalism? Some people just don't want to have to deal with their grandmother criticizing their garden productivity on the daily, or their dad picking the mail up from their mailbox and bringing it to hi

This is it right here. Most people are comfortable using the Times as a high quality news source, in spite of it's role in manufacturing consent for the Iraq war under false pretenses. The bad behavior isn't the problem, the probl

I tend to agree actually, and would go a step further and suggest that citizenship should be a requirement to vote in any election, and that persons born in the US should not be granted citizenship without being able to pass the citizenship

I flagged your post, so I owe you an explanation: This comment comes across as dismissive ("amirite") and is unlikely to generate good discussion. Inf act, it's the exact kind of comment you would make if you wanted to flame

Hey, I've recently been marathoning this show. I'd say your description is as dishonest as you accuse penn and teller of being. In that episode, they mainly point to paper and plastic recyclables as being net societal losses in 20

Is the coronavirus a psychopath? It seems pretty obvious to me that it too, is amoral rather than immoral.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Safari is the new IE 6, but I do feel that calling it the new IE 11 is very accurate across multiple dimensions.

>- Actually decent dev tools (used to be terrible) As someone who has to support Safari, I can still say that both Chrome and Firefox are better by about an order of magnitude. They are bad enough that I've given up trying to debug

This isn't true. They wanted a one-to-one language replacement for ventrilo/teamspeak/mumble. "Hey hop on my mumble server" "Hey hop on my vent server" "Hey hop on my teamspeak server" "Hey

I don't think this is true if you turn your eye towards later sword technology. By the 14th century, Swiss sabers were simply more generally performant than just about anything that came before. They could stab almost as well as a long

Xbox's financials last two years have been flagging at roughly -2% revenue over expenditures both years, making them the least profitable division within microsoft. This, coupled with the fact that their games software itself had a +3

One of those companies is going for a last ditch hail mary while facing financial ruin, and if they aren't successful, they will end up out of the hardware game.

The Appalachian mountains are present in Southeastern Ohio. The hollers don't just magically appear when you cross the river over from Marietta to Parkersburg.

When the government (congress) first sought to prosecute Standard oil among other companies in the late 1880s for noncompetitive behavior, the monopoly label was applied. This was a part of the actual formation of the Sherman antitrust act

You realize when standard oil was ruled a monopoly and trust busted, it only had 19% of the US oil market share, right?

Not if the delta of both counts decrease, which is exactly the point the person you replied to already made. Divorce lags marriage by definition, since you can't get divorced without getting married.

While I think a slow trend of increasing contention exists, I don't buy that hostilities were really so much better in '08 than in '16, and I think we've a ways to go yet before we starting debating whether capping our p

This is a tremulously rose colored portrait of history. The most openly hostile, contentious election in American history didn't happen in 2016, or 2008, or 2000, it happened in 1828. Many American institutional families would say that
