Someone who is upset enough about being being called out for using gendered language that they post a complaint about the interaction, on hacker news, I would bet real money that t…

Holmes made one single promise on which she couldn't (possibly) deliver while Musk makes dozens of promises and delivers well enough on enough of them that he'll never be fully dis…

I always thought that the benefit of the physical device was that it was decoupled from the main device. If someone steals my laptop, for example, they won't be able to access my M…

Thanks for sharing. Seems painful. I've seen similar things where people seem to just lose their moral compass along with reasonable inhibitions and I've also attributed that to su…

This is a side effect that I'm not aware of. Can you share more, please?

So, it's nowhere near every street corner or playground, but I encounter a surprising amount of second hand smoke here in (legal) Seattle. Although it's not really much more than i…

I'm probably doing standups wrong... And then you describe some of the healthiest standup culture I've seen...

It was when Ryan Davis died that I realized just how intimate the podcasting medium could be. While I also loved the rest of the crew, I couldn't listen to Giant Bomb without him. …

The "uhhhh, this is a private venue, they don't owe you a soapbox" rhetoric rings increasingly hollow when we just went through a multiyear period when society collectively forced …

I'm using the TP-Link Omada access points and router along with the software controller and it's pretty great.

The cynic in me is wondering if that will make any difference. It's not like people need deep fakes or even the possibility of deep fakes to believe that the world is flat or that …

There's something subversive about that... a display of things that other people are pretending they have ownership over.

Nope, nope, nope, and nope. He bought the bragging rights to say "that URL of that image of that tweet, if you look at this particular public ledger, you'll see that the ledger say…

> How does one view list(s) of NFTs? A better question is "why" anyone would want to look at lists of URLs pointing to things that someone is pretending that they own by having an …

I like hearing about different heterodox approaches.

I guess that's good if you only care about you?

I'll take moral guidance from... checks notes... anyone other than Orson Scott Card, thank you.

Not a dumb question at all. JDK choice is intimidating when you're not in Java-land all day, every day. IntelliJ lets you download + install + switch between JDKS really easily, wh…

Or even, "we've just upgraded to a new version of our health system and it has effectively shut us down"

I actually remember it from the time. It was part of the discussion why the page's stylesheet would "win" over a user specified stylesheet when there were conflicts... sometimes th…
