    There's two ways of looking at it. One is with a sense of personal accountability. "If you use Facebook, then the first thing you should do is stop." A humorous example can be foun…

    People are certainly talking about excessive social media use whether FB likes it or not. The goal of propaganda is not to make people think a certain way; it's to get people to ac…

    Who cares? Even if she is a fraud, the result of pointing this out is only going to give her more support and attention. The only reason young or female developers get weird media …

    It’s probably easiest to download boot3.asm directly. This is kind of funny, since this is the only link that's broken. http://3zanders.co.uk/2017/10/13/writing-a-bootloader/boot3.…

    This isn't news, is it? Google hates decentralization. Visa and money transfer restrictions force them to improve the areas they're based out of. Open communication makes it harder…

    But for many people, the initial learning curve just isn't worth it. I don't believe that. The people who snub Vim and Emacs, but are willing to sink time into learning new editors…

    You can make your Emacs setup minimalistic by hiding the toolbar and scrollbar. This blog post gives a pretty good starting setup. https://emacs-doctor.com/emacs-strip-tease.html C…

    No, it's not even sort of a Lisp. JavaScript is not secretly a Lisp. JavaScript is no more a Lisp than Python, Ruby, or Lua. Crockford is right that JavaScript is closer to Lisp th…

    Price isn't the only issue; speed has to be considered as well. If you have a program, and it only uses a small amount of memory, it'll fit into the cache and run fast. If you have…

    I fail to see how political correctness is both a nebulous concept and a dogmatic belief system at the same time. I didn't say political correctness was a nebulous concept, I said …

    If the author didn't want to talk about the banh mi thing, why even mention it? It is relevant to the discussion after all, since the portrayal of such instances in the media have …

    Wow, a snarky straw man based off of the first sentence in the article. Then you make points that the author specifically refuted in the article without discussing what he wrote. I…

    It inevitably comes down to a choice between institutionalized discrimination and latent discrimination. You could weigh it based on which drives more talent away, but I don't care…

    One very simple, coherent way to arrive at Pike's position without sacrificing the notion of merit is to accept the idea... By accept, you mean assume, and assuming is what Oxitend…

    I've already got enough films, thanks, you don't need to make any more. Or telling writers that there are already enough books. That is a reasonable opinion. http://www.gwern.net/C…
