This article echos the common complaint I've seen from people hesitant to adopt TS. "I always used to get some compilation errors which were hard to understand initially, and I scr…

The data wasn't to prove a point. The data was there as an example that you can construe different results from the same data. Given that data, you can make claims of "safety" quot…

If Adam shoots Bill with the intent to kill him, leaves the scene, and paramedics rush Bill to the hospital, and he lives, Bill is not murdered. Bill was the victim of an aggravate…

Just wanna make sure I got this right. "ASS", automatic instant suspension with 0 human review. "King's Throne: Game of Lust.", with advertised gameplay content such as "I, [the Ki…

I dont have citations on hand, but my understanding is that this claim is largely attributed to a single/small amount of studies of dubious validity funded by US Beef industry, and…

Readers may also find the Copiale cipher[1] interesting. It has been around since the 1700s, unsolved, until 2011 when a team figured out (with the help of a computer or 2) it was …

There are a few. I am using VSCodeVim[1] with the default settings (besides the typical `jj` command) I love it, and using anything else feels weird. I remember having some problem…

I'm not from Europe, but if I saw "BBC converts night images to perfect daylight in ~1 second", I would assume it meant the British Broadcasting Corporation. CNN is just as big of …

I 100% believe every anecdote you just presented. I'm sorry that those things happened, especially when unpunished. As you said, cops are just people. Most people are okay. Some ar…

Do you have a citation that police are as _equally willing_ to beat a password out of someone as they are to use existing tool to image a phone in compliance with a lawfully obtain…

I was a cellebrite certified operator/analyst. The answer is a combination of "The iPhone is that secure" and "Androids usually aren't". The tools that Cellebrite sells will handle…

CSGO just broke their record # of players at one time, at around 900,000[1]. Steam alone regularly has over 10,000,000 people logged in at a time [2]. I think saying "Adults dont w…

Oh man, I'm glad i'm not the only one. Please let me know if you have a solution. It is really difficult to, in a kind way, tell my generous friends and family, "Please don't buy m…

While googling for "combinators birds", I received an Angelfire.com page[1] as the #1 search result in google, which I thought was fairly impressive. [1] http://www.angelfire.com/t…

Proton is pretty great, but there are hardware limitations. Im running a pretty old video card. I can run games like Deep Rock Galactic on Windows, but it wont work on Linux as Pro…

Rocket League's creator, Psyonix, was bought by Epic last year. The is concern/belief that this move is a precursor to making Rocket League an Epic Store exclusive, as the Epic sto…

For anyone looking at picking up Ramda, the docs at ramdajs.com are great API docs, but don't tell you a thing about how to actually use lenses, transducers, and point free data la…

I mean, I think one of the big arguments against a pipeline operator is that you can easily roll your own with const pipe = (...fxs) => x => fxs.reduce((v, f) => f(v), x); If you'r…

50% write their passwords down in a notebook or sticky note near their computer[1] 1% use a password manager[1] [1]%100 of these stats are assumed

Im a big fan of a cli program called tldr[1]. Usually when the internet says "Run these commands", they either don't tell you what they do, or tell you to just check `man`. The pro…

They weren't trying to imprison him, they were trying to gather evidence of who murdered Jane, which would result in imprisoning that person. Jane's killer was in a strange circums…

Retired cop here - listen to this dude. My job was to sit down in a room, read a person their rights, make sure they understand it, have them initial 4 places, sign, and date that …

I think that is painting with a fairly broad brush. Head into Target, and somewhere near the centerish of the store, diagonal to the greeting cards and cosmetics, is aisles and ais…
