Yeah, like the cops have never gotten caught claiming someone accidentally fell on 43 bullets before. Or like there haven't been numerous cases of misattributing COVID deaths becau…

Users trying to kill kernel_task sounds like an uncaught design problem. Replace the kill options in context drop-downs with "Why can't I kill kernel_task?" and have it pop open a …

"Are highly effective" is a massive understatement; they finance their campaigns and provide their unofficial retirement plans. The reward structure is what it is, and the behavior…

The flag button is the report button. Flagging puts stuff in the moderation queue to be reviewed for abuse / spam. Please don't abuse it for other purposes. Downvotes exist, but ar…

Elixir and Erlang both yield BEAM bytecode, which is what actually runs. There's zero difference other than a choice in interface design, which is why they're also completely inter…

Wow, one character from a region that makes up 60% of the world's population? How radical. Next you'll be telling me that I should be worried because they included a black characte…

We have lots of abundance. The problem is that the future is, as they say, not so equally distributed. It's hard to solve things like poverty when a tiny minority is hoarding most …

Between Elixir and Erlang, there's no difference because it's all BEAM bytecode when it runs. Between arbitrary individual functions you might encounter, there can be differences, …

It's often worth parsing "people would like" as "marketers think people would like." Or even, "although people would like, someone's trying to maximize profit margins." And that se…

The two named species from the research are Homo sapiens denisova and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis . We're Homo sapiens sapiens , because we ate the wise-wise fruit. (The other tw…

Addresses that are obviously professionally inappropriate are one thing. Otherwise I pay approximately zero attention to them, outside the context of "do I have the right one" and …

"Pseudonymization but with an extra syllable" sounds just as confusing as the other two. I wouldn't be sure which of those words I was looking at on first glance, which is what you…
