Where's the quote from the Air Force saying the F-35 failed? There is none. As far as I can tell this article is just misrepresenting a quote to push a narrative.

You can compare yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre to a lot of speech, for example, speech that is against a military draft. This was the original comparison. Luckily we (the United States) prevent our government from restrictin

What's it like being an SRE for a FAANG? To me it sounds like you need to know practically everything about software engineering (network stack, linux stack, web app stack) so it appeals to me as a generalist.

The carbon that makes up the cardboard was carbon that was once in the environment. I’d rather landfill it and remove it from the carbon cycle than spend resources attempting to reuse it.

And the cost has to fit in to your budget. I'd rather spend my budget on learning emacs, for example, instead of spending it switching to a new shell.

How often do you find yourself forced to use bash? ssh/machine init scripts/etc. I could never use an alternative shell full time because I need to stay good at bash.

I do this using magit. I’ve never split a commit directly (I’m sure its possible) but manipulate commits at the file/hunk/line granularity which I did not think was possible with git. Same with histedit, that’s in magit as well.

Sometimes popular science is itself the misinformation. The authors stretch the findings to land in prestigious journals. The news stretches the findings further to sell clicks (c.f. Gell-Mann Amnesia effect). The people on the internet sel

I have no doubts about the safety of vaccines in healthy people. I have some harmless curiosity about people who are not known to be healthy. How do you actually determine if someone is "too immunocompromised" for a vaccine? This
