I'm broadly in favor of RFCs but they need to be dictated from top-down. That's easier said than done. Most RFC committee debates ime devolve into firing squads in which the presen…

the phrase I've heard about LA is that its "a company town for creatives."

> This means that I have to try to guess the state of mind of the questioner rather than solve a logic problem That is an excellent way to put it! It explains why it appeals to non…

I agree. It reminds me of the math "puzzles" on Twitter which go: 1 shoe + 1 shoe = 2 2 shoes + 2 shoes = 4 3 shoes + 2 shoes = ??? And the answer isn't 5 because a) we're not coun…

People really hate coding interviews but they now exist as a "stupid test." Academia has a problem with possibly fraudulent papers and grade inflation. It is inevitable that compan…

this is an insane reply and proves why NATO never put nuclear weapons in russia-adjacent states like the Baltics Nuclear war is not something to be lightly risked

So we all blow ourselves up and kill everybody? † To own Russia? †: everybody == a lot of people, just to be clear

does nobody think this will risk nuclear war? Is this really a place we want to risk it? I'm amazed at the comments section here

how did they try him in absentia? I'm pretty certain that's illegal in the united states.

This guy is a glorified gym teacher and runs an MLM. It's astounding he's become so popular. Many, many people try the "I state harsh opinions and do stereotypical manly things and…

JSON is much easier to parse with your eyes and there isn't much of a performance difference anymore..

Not saying you're wrong, but its very defeating to participate in online conversations and hope somebody sees the URL on your profile.

I'm fairly certain this piece is meant to drum up support for gas stove bans in places like Los Angeles or NYC. Too coincidental. Certainly inspired by it. If you really believe th…

I think Brian Armstrong downsized his stake from ~300k shares to ~30k late last year. Has any company ever done well after such a sell-off from insiders?
