> implying 4chan is one person

Person says overly angry thing on the betweentubes Yeah, stop the presses. If commenting online and especially on places like 4chan has taught me anything, it's that anonymity lets…

I actually agree with him, but I'd word it somewhat differently: Rules and legislation are made for a reason. Before you break a rule for your own self-interest or due to your own …

As the old adage goes: NEVER EVER build your business as completely dependent atop a Microsoft product. Or if you must, expect to go out of business at some point. In the 21st cent…

My opinion is that we're not sure how the social dynamics will change with a guaranteed basic income, so making predictions like this is not really constructive. I favour the exper…

I have done all of that, except tried different ships. I only played with the starting ship, on hard difficulty, because I wanted to finish the main game before trying the extra mo…

Too bad the unfair, uncontrollable, unmitigateable randomness turns this otherwise excellent game in a poor joke. There is no planning you can do, since every shop is random and th…

I'm more interested in why employees don't band together to game the system and ensure a given outcome, then split the winnings. Like a sort of a pyramid scheme - you and a buddy a…

All of these things, including the int division "thing" are present in python 2.7 already. For division, you need to import it: from __future__ import division And then dividing nu…

In my view, if you actually do 8 hours of work in a single day regularly, meaning you perform a physical action which is directly attributable to your work description for a total …

I highly suspect that impersonating someone online fall foul of the CFAA.

If I am not mistaken, I personally maintain at least 3 distinct identities on the net. I think I might have more than that, one-off accounts made with a one-off email for some site…

"Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" is real though. Or rather I personally can't eat most things at chinese restaurants and this article was the first time I heard that this is actually …

Indeed you can https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy

You took the metaphor explaining a part of the original argument, not the argument itself, a metaphor used to illustrate the argument better, a metaphor that was just there to make…

I think your first two points are mostly trivial to address - put a board going beneath all the steps and add a handrail. The bed seems a poor idea to me too though. Maybe if it we…

Kind of offtopic, but it really grinds my gears when a site is perfectly functional without javascript, but then it has a noscript element blocking you from reading it. I know how …

A more likely explanation is that the author frankly doesn't give a damn about such restriction.

Why not this: You book a flight. Then when the day of your departure comes, an armoured van with 3 paramedics, 15 SWAT officers, a dog unit and a team of anaesthesiologists come to…

Actually you maybe don't even need the key. I don't know what algorithm Adobe used to encrypt these passwords, but for most standard ones it holds that if you have two encrypted me…

I wasn't trolling. It feels positively deranged. Like having all numbers be written in Roman numerals for instance. I don't get your point about Fortran. Deeply flawed languages ha…

I'm a youngish carefree man and I fucking hate DST. In the summer everybody switches to going to work one hour earlier and, unfortunately, that perfectly screws with my sleeping ha…

I would like to point out that the modern way to er.. "sidestep" the windows activation process on a UEFI system is to simply install a new bootloader. This is accomplished simply …
