In a pandemic, we make weird friends. I much prefer some pro conservative anti abortion org asking for less censorship than a dozen woke newspapers and rumor mills calling me a fas…

Just because Wikipedia says it, doesn't mean it's widely known or accurate. Labeling things as denialism is itself a common trick in misinformation. It flattens whatever the origin…

I had the same impression. Kory vs his detractors gives me a persistent sense of street-smart vs book-smart. The same kind of thing that made some people realize that lying about m…

The real generational divide is people who feel this post in their bones and people who will nitpick at it because it's not in fact an unbiased survey. The point about focus is ver…

Speak for yourself. The rest of the world mostly did not look, because the American media refused to objectively cover those protests. I only know about it but following local inde…

Which of these principles demands you let a cabal of intersectionalists flag their enemies off the front page? Just curious where the intellectual curiosity and lack of reflexivene…

If you truly believe abortion is wrong but is better than the alternative of bringing unwanted children into the world, then you should also support fathers having the right to opt…

Your attempt at couching your comment in disclaimers is hilarious. You don't just give supremacists ammunition, you make everyone laugh at the absurdity. "Part of the culture" is b…

It also allows for plausible deniability to surgically remove certain viewpoints without anyone noticing. This is not an acceptable trade off if you value freedom of expression and…

This very site does the same, and is proud of it.

The more you do the more they will rely on you. But this is on contributors too. They start out hanging out in their clubhouse, working on their hobby, and people join in. Then a f…

Women were not pushed out of CS or discouraged. Just go look at the evolution of degrees by gender and pay close attention to the absolute, not relative numbers. What happened is t…

Every time people breathlessly relate the tale of Cambridge Analytica as the day privacy died, you should know they have no clue. Because the Obama campaign built the exact same ki…

"The UVA rape was real" - Rolling Stone "That ESA guy's shirt is sexist." - Too many to count "That nobel prize winner made inappropriate jokes because one person said so and shoul…

They are academics, so likely, no. Notoriously bad at actually accomplishing something with real world constraints, an actual timeline, and customer requirements.

Rule of thumb: You should only include code that you could write yourself if you took the time. Otherwise you don't understand your own software.

I hate tutorials that don't explain you how something is actually implemented in the framework, as if you don't need to know your own tools. I'm inferring suspense is based on exce…

Protonmail has a huge gap between promises and what's delivered. Their IMAP bridge is slow and buggy, their mobile app hasn't been meaningfully updated in a year, and even as a pay…

But the smallest sync interval is 15 minutes and it won't sync sub folders until you open them. It's not usable for real work, and I'm pretty sure that's how Google likes it.

I wonder how much of this is actually about Adblockers... vs Googlers just wanting to make some performance numbers go up in aggregate to make their own internal company stats bett…

Yes, it is the dumbest thing ever, and demonstrates they've forgotten what Exposé was all about and what the innovation was. Instead of showing you labels or icons in a task switch…

Everyone should be spamming the hell out of Apple's feedback form if they: - have 32-bit apps or games that won't be updated - don't think there is anything worthwhile to upgrade f…

Wow, not a single feature managed to spark any interest whatsoever. Have they fixed mission control's top bar not expanding by default yet? That would be the only reason to upgrade…

"Past time" The only thing that's past time is that more people start to realize the real bullies and harassers are the ones who post medium posts saying "Remove $person"... in whi…

The really dumb part is that GraphQL has more restrictions than JSON on property names, so you can't actually render arbitrary JSON data with gatsby without breaking the GraphQL sc…
