Spot on. This controversy doesn’t surprise me at all. I am a little surprised Mac wasn’t aware of her album, though. You would think the Mac world and Mitski world are relatively close circles in indie rock. What I really wanna hear, is som

I imagine it’s much easier psychologically for a vandal to do this than anything obvious with a hammer or water. Also, you would think he’d probably get caught after the first or second monitor if he walked into a library and started smashi

He told us some good stories and also told us about how much money he made in the industry. Good on him for being open about earnings. Most Americans are not so transparent and I wish I had known that many trades offer similar earnings po

When I was a student I had a different viewpoint on this, but it all depends on the people, and putting everyone in one bucket is rarely accurate. Kids whose parents sign their leases and pay their rents will almost never fail to pay rent,

That is an incredibly low view of people and has not been my experience at all in life or as a renter.

XML, which I consider to be unreadable by both machines and humans. Really? Depends on how it’s structured, but I’d say XML is much more READABLE than JSON, although it requires much more typing to write by hand. And it was a much more ri

Dumb attitude. For every extraordinarily recognized academic/professional person, there’s always going to be many times more people who are never publicly recognized for their achievements. Maybe they fly under the radar, maybe they pi

Hm, kind of like race versus ethnicity. My mistake. I think I have heard this before.

I'm not against LGBT representation at all. I've just had the thought that 1/4 (lead) characters on shows I watch seem to be LGBT. And that's probably an exaggeration, like someone else said. I do think it's importa

> Fucks given after all, I guess? I knew that was coming eventually ;) You make several valid points. I will check out the video you referenced. On the other hand - I have wondered if maybe Hollywood is over-represented by LGBT persons (

I'm in Austin, so it's definitely similar to SF in those regards, but I think overall we're talking more like ~5% of the population identifies as LGBT*, while at times it seems like any show with 4 main characters has written

This isn't about being gay, bisexual, or transgender. I don't even see why they lump intersex with all the others. Intersex people are born with variations in the chromosomes/genitals/gonads and, as far as I know, that s

They shouldn't be pushing this stuff down teenager's throats, that's for sure. I'm fully supportive of equal rights for intersex people, among other disenfranchised groups, but this is ridiculous. They aren't going

I prefer a clever dripper to a french press. Much less cleanup... toss filter and grounds in the trash in one fell swoop, rinse once or twice under some water in the sink, done. On the other hand, I much prefer a latte to any pour-over or

Long hours is a failure, we should know what failed so it doesn't happen again. Their response? That's just the way it is in games. In my experience, that attitude is common and not limited to game developers or even programmers

Got it, I was aware of this and many of the performance benefits another user mentioned, but wasn't sure how it could be useful in daily operation or quick Django shell_plus style scripting (one-off commands) when inspecting something

Not a data engineer / scientist here. What am I missing with data-frames? I've written products that utilized them before (years ago), but it's been long enough that I don't know what I would even use them for in daily p

Django is my number one, but I think certain languages and the communities behind them - including Go and Rust, for sure, fit much different use-cases than Python/Django and thus there's good reason why you don't find massive

As for Louis, before he closed his door to the visitor, he was asked if he was concerned about the new play turning the media spotlight on them, and said: "Don't worry, we're used to it. You people knock on our door every we

As far as I know, Node.js was used inside in a limited capacity, but they had an alternative for npm for security reasons, and you had to get an npm package approved to use it internally. FWIW, this is a very good thing . A company as la

Good point. I miswrote the original comment, anyways, I meant beats. I thought a bar is 4 beats, a measure is 4 bars (in 4/4)? Going to have to look this up but is measure == phrase == section? Or I guess, a section can be arbitrary nu

Has this guy never heard of a bar or measure? Reading through the first section where he describes the song as sections of 16 beats makes me cringe, and this is coming from someone admittedly horrible with music theory. Edit: I was turn

It also seems unfair for hundreds or maybe thousands of unlicensed copies of an artist’s music to exist on a service like YouTube and that artist not receiving any revenues for those streams. At least Spotify and Apple Music pay royalties.

I wonder a little about the source of the name "Rust". That seems like an odd choice for a language name - not that it matters. Rust - being associated with old metals - makes me think of something that's been left out and ab
