Cool idea. But also, apparently this is a website for submitting and rating ideas themselves?

Polanski raped a child. That's a whole different level of awful than everything else being discussed here.

There was, and like so many other things these days, it's pointless listening to partisan summaries. If you want to know, dig and read the source material.

Awful headline. They're supposed to provide infinite product for a fixed price because the author wants it?

Dupe. Quite a hateful screed, but it's somewhat heartening to see the virtually complete lack of support for it on Twitter.

Even if true, that's more of a description than a solution. Generating new f*s to give is a hard problem.

Fork/exec time for extra processes is usually unimportant. If data transfer is truly a bottleneck, shared memory is as fast as threading. These costs, though, are generally trivial…

It is, and I go there only as needed.

Put the computationally expensive task in its own process, and have the UI monitor it as needed as part of its event loop. (That won't work in every case, but it should be thorough…

A serious practical problem with threads mirrors the same problem with C++, which is that many programmers reach for it first when they should be reaching for it last . Both of the…

If a Canadian state decided to rename itself Maine, pretty sure Americans would have zero f *s to give about it. To quote Peter Griffin, "Who cares?!!".

Remember, power corrupts . If you're not worried about Google's power, you're probably not paying attention.

Currently having a mild panic attack trying figure out how I could possibly fit all of that into my weekly schedule. (Props for #10 especially, though. I've recently sworn off the …

Quillette is absolute gold. One of the few outlets left doing journalism and rational commentary.

Maybe Twitter should be shut down, to atone?

The question is rhetorical--it's quite clear that she already does hate us, and enjoys it. (Next up, "Why Can't We Hate X?", for other values of X.)

Their explanation does not agree with the (clickbait) headline. Rather, they say that VCs better evaluate pitches made by women, apparently by letting through fewer risks. Presumab…

The homeless and drug addicts operate outside the law--hence the difference. Personally, I'd be fine with scooters if they were never used or stored on sidewalks. Which will happen…

I for one welcome our new NoKo overlords!

The slurs against cops, both here and in the original article, seem unwarranted and unfair. There may indeed be numerous such examples, but without an account of the (almost certai…

At the moment, give it all to my ex and hope she doesn't develop a drug habit. But had I any, Vanguard's Target Retirement 21XX funds would be very hard to beat. (Source: lots of r…

Someone did this for me a few years back. I didn't cop to anything, but I was down, and it was deeply touching. And honestly, I'm not sure there was much more that anyone could hav…

This seems far too dismissive--almost like a variant form of "just cheer up". "Relationship trouble" includes mental agony that can drag out over many years. And the fact that many…

Like many others, I've lived this. The worst is over, and currently I'm merely deep in debt, without material possessions, and signing over my entire paycheck as alimony (yes, all …
