   But when the concept of deep fake porn is well known, even real porn leaks become suspect and rule 34 ceases to be societally meaningful. I think “in twenty years no one will care” is an absurd overestimation: in twenty minutes no one wil

   I recently used a WhatsApp bot to fix a flight ticket issue and it went fine. I didn’t have to install a worthless airline app thank Gilgamesh.

   I thought this article was railing against the lumping together of entire spans of hundreds of years as being alike (ie, we lump together 1901 and 1999 under the name ”the 1900s” despite their sharing only numerical similarity), and was int

   Confounding variables, perhaps? There’s also a correlation between those specific happy countries and their median wealth, which facilitates survival, peace and opportunity. Or is it that deeply religious countries are susceptible to povert

   As someone who actually has acquaintances outside the US, I have used and do use WhatsApp so I’ll chime in. I’ve basically done (had to do) this for lodging and transport in parts of the world where a web presence (and digital business arch

   I don’t have a disclaimer. Dunno if it means anything? What would you think if you saw such a thing on a blog? Would you believe it? I might doubt it, though the typos do lend yours some cred.

    If you devote a couple hours a day to it you can acquire significant proficiency, just like with a classroom setting. But just like with a live course, merely participating and doing the homework will not be enough to achieve conversational

    I have caps lock remapped as escape: I decided long ago that the standard escape key is not accessible enough for me, so maybe some people do need a wide escape key

    I’ve been traveling for the past year and meeting so many Israelis and Russians who are terrified of their citizenship being revealed in hostels and bars and other places travelers congregate. It’s a shame to see people demonized for the ch

    I think you have the wrong approach in fretting about what you should learn rather than taking the opportunity to pursue what you want to learn. Don’t chase the market, chase your life. The market will keep going but your life will eventual

    Text selection/cursor placement has indeed gotten quite terrible, but at this point I don’t think they care because people are just dictating and sending audio messages now. The world is moving on from smartphone typing

    But then this just contributes to brain drain in their home countries. America maybe secures a chance to remain highly competitive, highly wealthy, but at the expense often of developing nations’ development

    It’s fascinating to see how the other side thinks sometimes. Most of the places I’ve worked have been dogmatically averse to scarequote “microservices.”

    Sorry it wasn’t meant to come off as an accusation, more of a thought experiment: what would prove they would be successful in the job: proving they can solve a trivial problem in thirty minutes? I assume your team is not only solving the s

    I used kitty for like a year then went back to the stock Mac terminal with tmux. But I don’t remember why. Maybe this is why people blog about their software migration experiences.

    That’s what my mom said to me. Didn’t really get me used to it though… maybe that’s the point? Tell them life is going to be boring during their phase of rebellion and you’ll set them up to chase something better for the remainder of their

    I’ve had DST impact so many DB migrations and code deployments in such weird and hard to trace ways that I get superstitious within around a month of the changeover. “It’s the time bugs come for us! Throw some salt over your shoulder!”
