I think it's just a perception thing. I don't see emptying the dishwasher as part of the task that is filling it. My last task of the day is normally turning the dishwasher on and …

Have you seen the Krazam fantasy FAANGball sketch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIZt9YPAPZo It's funny, but with the AI hires/moves it feels more like satire now.

I'm someone who really enjoys the process of learning, and struggling, even when it doesn't immediately get me things. This sometimes pays off, but it also means I'm often slower a…

A similar but not as strong decline. Taking the one but last datapoint for both (stackoverflow/tex respectively): 4436 and 394. If you compare this to how it looked like between 20…

I don't think this a fair interpretation of the parent comment as it's not about ownership of language. The website literally says "The next generation of ANTLR" and says "It's the…

They really wouldn't. Even people who BOUGHT VR, are barely using it. Giving everyone free VR headsets won't make people suddenly spend a lot of time in VR-land without there actua…

The UK should not be included in here. There is no official national system for keeping track of citizens and municipalities barely cooperate. This means you have to keep proving y…

I think this is a good point. I found the following sentences of the article shocking: > I am frequently asked for my PowerPoint slides, which basically function for me as lecture …

There are good devices for only music / audiobooks, but they're often aimed at younger kids. For example Yoto players ( https://yotoplay.com/ ) or Toniebox (haven't used this one).…

Not really. Google tries to recognise it when you re-upload the same game using a different dev account, and will actually ban you for this.

I get maybe 50 or so tomato plants in about 1 square meter in my garden, just from the seeds that are left in the ground from last year's tomatoes. (Of course I don't let all 50 gr…

Location: United Kingdom (near London/Cambridge) Remote: Yes (or hybrid) Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Haskell, Scala, Java, Go, compilers, ad technology, theorem proving, …

I don't think that's a fair analogy. One forces 99% of websites to make a change, while the other is something that would need to be done by the big companies doing the scraping. A…

FYI: YouTube Kids does have ads, although a lot less so than YouTube. It also mainly shows an ad at the start, and often only after one episode (for me at least).

The UK government has done this various times in the last couple of years to argue against (high) pay rises for the National Health Service and other government institutions. One o…

Things I am or was actively using (and mostly liked): Inbox, Domains, Reader, Wave, GChat, (Hangouts, but it doesn't fully count), AdSense mobile app, Google+, goog.gl, Play Music …

You would assume wrong in the case of the UK. "Extreme pornography" is already illegal, even when staged, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_63_of_the_Criminal_Jus... .

Stadia also failed as a technical solution on various of the boring bits. Stadia did not even support the new Chromecast for at least half a year, so you were expected to get the o…

One of the worst things is that the great online course for SICP (6.001 iCampus) is now also retired, and MIT is not willing to recover it. I remember seeing a message that their s…

Maybe if you live in the US (and quite a few other countries), but if you live in the UK, you can get a prison sentence just for not disclosing your encryption keys: https://en.wik…

This might depend on where you are. If you're from the UK, the only way of getting this diagnosed within any reasonable time frame is a lactation consultant. Most NHS staff is not …

Sure, I don't disagree and it's silly/illegal when it happens, but this doesn't mean you can't protect yourself (sometimes without much more effort) to prevent damage or even just …

I think an email from support is more like "confirmation that they checked whether the car has seen me". I'm not sure how successfully you've dealt with support with companies, but…

I got hit by a car in a situation similar to this. They made eye contact (I thought), were slowing down, and still hit me anyway by accelerating, despite me having the right of way…

Thanks for linking this, I loved this video. I'm surprised it's relatively unpopular compared to the rest of the channel, but I suppose that supports her point...
