There's a line between rude/toxic and direct/pragmatic. The whole world at large would be much better off if we made that distinction. Also, that both tones can be found in the same piece of prose; we don't have to label

I have an amusing anecdote to share. It's definitely related to your question but, anecdotes being what they are, I'm not presenting it as any form of final word on the matter. I got my current job through the SO job board. When

I fundamentally disagree. You are basing your tenets on two overly-broad ideas that don't make for a good basis for an actionable framework. You are kinda motte-and-baileying. First of all, I dispute that "human autonomy" is

It's easy to call that a "tell" in light of Matt Mullenweg's recent activities. No one was saying shit when Wordpress was the darling of Web 2.0. Justifiable evidence of Matt Mullenweg's unhealthy/excessive nar

Yay it seems I don't have to wear the Dunce hat but also, honestly, I'm not even trying to be pedantic on what counts as "git" here. I'm more annoyed that the contribution calendar is considered inherently "git

Honestly, after ~13y in this, I only know a handful of items from the famous latency table, notably those I've used a lot (mutexes cost 25ns, is only 1/4th of main memory reference tho, then disk seek is x100K of that). I'm &

I agree on two points in your sidenote. The first is that online moderation is rarely, if ever, "censorship". The second thing is that the majority of us have no idea what it's actually like being terrorized or assaulted. Tha

Cool hack if I've ever seen one in this place! I love how "steampunk" it looks (for lack of a better term). Though I feel like if they're gunning for global appeal they would have to streamline the looks a lot. This is s

My hot take in this forum: this attitude is a sort of damn-if-you-do-damn-if-you-don't Catch-22 clause for traditional media which, among other things, has lead to over-cynicism towards these sources which, in turn, has allowed the ris
