When would this be useful? Microsoft's best examples are that the user forgot the location of a chinese food place your friend told you once.

Then those books aren't any providing any deep knowledge, just superficial trivia about whatever is fashionable. some people do that as their job, though, so do what you want.

It's not a "tech" book, as if it were a 2008 book on how to use a specific version of Access. It's on programming practices. Most good programming books from 20 or 30 years ago are still relevant today. Instead of acting

Good idea. Other books I hate for you: Game programming patterns, Crafting Interpreters, the C# player's guide.

This book is beyond parody. I send it to people I hate and want to sabotage, along with clean code.

Sure they did. The tribe representative they interviewed in the original nytimes article said they had minors watching porn, and only backpedaled afterwards in this article because it make them look bad. Minors sharing porn in group chats i

There's nothing in this blog post that proves it's wrong other than one guy in the tribe denying it because it looks bad for them. We're going to need access to the tribe's entire search history to sort this one out.

I'd be more fine with companies behaving like a swarm of locusts if they at least had to put on the box the ways they were going to fuck you over. A monkey's paw printer should have to prominently display "Proprietary ink onl

But I knew something before someone else did. How can I feel smart if I don't make a big deal out of it?

From the way you write, I have a feeling you overestimate your savviness on "the industry". It's insane to me that you act this shocked and hysterical or someone not knowing all the bullshit "play" formalities that

All serious compilers go through LLVM or have their own optimization passes. The person writing the compilers needs to know how the architecture works to make it possible for the pipeline to do its job. It's no different than the progr

I think they'll be studied as universal basic income. There's so many college graduates with no skills who basically unemployable, but are still collecting a decent salary to teach things that no one wants to pay for in the first

It sounds like it's good practice to get two copies of a document from two different sources, and to compare their hashes before publishing them. You can embed data in anything, so this would include images, audio files, PDF files, or

I want to reclaim the word engineer from Americans. Turns out everyone is an engineer, even the chatbots.

I hope you're joking about wanting to become a "fluffy quadruped". Or, if not, I see why we had asylums.

The amount of people who can actually work on anything meaningful in this field is double-digit at best. Sure, if you add up "many different things" you have plenty of people who can work on plumbing, programming, and gene editing

The US has been socially destroyed in the unrelenting pursuit of diversity, and as you've observed, our life expectancy has been dropping for years. Nobody cares about anything, the game is already over. This isn't our country any

by vsuperpower2020 2y ago
Yes, this is a diversity issue. If you want people to play the game you can't replace them with hostile outsiders and call them "white trash". Thanks for illustrating my point.

Where does wealth and healthcare come from? The natural state of the world is no wealth and no healthcare. Someone has to build civilization, humans have to work hard to support it, and every future generation has to be committed to maintai

Aside from being about 1/80th the size of the US, and far less obese, their "scale" of obesity is far lower. I had a super-super morbidly obese teacher in college who took up an entire table, and had students do anything for

Here's two I can remember off the top of my head. This one is just a magazine profile story with a musician. It was titled "First recording of tinnitus raises new questions", which instead of sharing the recording, was an int

I appreciate the heads up. I'm getting tired of all the magazine, tabloid, and sales pitches getting to the front page here.

This is apparently normal for magazines. I understand people wanting trashy fluff pieces, but I'm surprised people here do also.
