I’ve often wondered why vegan cheese is so bad (compared to vegan meat, which I generally prefer to actual meat). I ate vegan for a few years and cheese was by far the thing I missed the most. It sounds like if these solid precision ferment

This reads like sarcasm, but I don’t really understand it. Is the cutthroat dating world not tough for the older single women out there?
304.
by zztop44 4y ago
Not if women are dating older men, or if there is a gendered difference in the way people interpret the question (ie: what the definition of single is). Probably some combination.

No one is demanding anything. VS Code exists. Lots of other code editors also exist. Many are native. Choose whichever one you want.

Yes, quite obviously yes, I would have thought. All imperial states are military states aren’t they?

The original Defense of the Ancients custom map for Warcraft 3 was heavily influenced by a StarCraft custom map called Aeons of Strife (iirc). It is probably the first proto-MOBA. It’s true that it was Defense of the Ancients (or more prope

Although it’s interesting that the book publishers, record labels and movie studios of the 1950s and especially 1960s did actually put out a significant amount of extremely controversial art (along with the mundane, uncontroversial stuff) a

Fair enough. Happy for it to be changed to the original piece (although it is paywalled). I found it interesting that the chatbot proactively “confessed” the “secret” that its actual “name” is Sydney, which goes completely against the instr

To be fair that sounds like an architecture issue and sounds like in reality the task was a lot more complex than a#foo -> a#bar. If the href needed to come from the api and the ID needed to be incremented and unknowable ahead of time th

I think this is probably not true. For certain types of businesses email marketing is shockingly effective at generating revenue. And extremely cost effective compared to paid advertising. Of course some people are of the opinion that all m

Actually in December last year the US government voted to block a widespread union-planned strike of railroad workers. Railroad workers and unions have been vocal about these and many other issues for a long time now. But no-one has really

People are a lot more likely to pay attention to you talking about rail safety and labor policies when there’s a giant cloud of toxic black smoke belching out of a derailed train. Next month, probably not so much.

That’s simple, but it’s not a solution. Can you imagine writing software in a world without open source (that is also free as in beer)? I can’t.

And to echo the top reply to your original comment, nope you don’t get to decide to for everyone. I personally think that releasing free software and then complaining that the multibillionaire (trillionaire?) companies that rely on it refus

This is an industry with so much more money than it knows what to do with, and yet critical software rots for the want of a few thousand dollars here and there.

JSON columns are very useful in some circumstances but you shouldn’t use them as a replacement for a database schema, and if I’m honest I’m yet to see anyone truly suggest that.

Not to be too provocative, but hugely expensive precision equipment being fooled by a microwave oven with the door cut off is exactly what I’d expect from the US military.

It’s painless compared to trying to do the same thing without it. But yes, that’s essentially what I mean. Infrastructure is easy. What technology (in the broad sense) can help can you quickly spin up a worker who has context, can navigate

My first instinct was that this model wouldn’t work because employees need a lot more context/onboarding than servers. But then I thought about all the technology that was developed (docker, k8s, CI/CD) to make spinning up virtual

The inflation Japan is experiencing has not been caused in large part by a wage price spiral. It has largely been caused by US and Japanese monetary policy being out of sync.

This is really wonderful. I’ve been considering a trip along the Silk Roads via Pakistan for some time so this site was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience.

Mast snapping happens. Rudder snapping off is also bad. Often the issue is running into rocks/a reef due to a navigation failure. Sails do tear, but for sailboats I don’t think it’s as simple as the clothy bits being the main weak poin

I agree with this. I moved to a new city and struggled to make friends. I’m a natural introvert and kinda shy so reaching out for friendships doesn’t come naturally to me. But I joined a language school class and made friends there. I joine
