I understand that some people have trouble apologizing to children, but could someone help me understand why? I’ve been a parent for almost a decade now, and I can’t count the numb…

How much is that needed? There was very little text on those buttons to begin with. Are there significant cultural differences in the iconography associated with them?

Why not address the actual problem: ability to drive responsibly? Otherwise you’re just creating another privilege for the wealthy. Licensure is already an established practice. Ed…

With Roku built in as well as whatever ad pipeline(s) the TV manufacturer wants. These days my AppleTV is allowed to talk to the internet. My television is not.

I submitted a request for exactly that to my city clerk a few days ago. They confirmed receipt from the clerk and the local PD, but still waiting for anything substantial.

I’m not sure how to say this, so please know that I’m not trying to downplay the experiences you’ve had or the strength of the people involved: I don’t think it’s fair to character…

It’s sad that pragmatically adjusting quotas is never the loudest argument in the room. I’m in favor of greatly increasing legal immigration, providing paths for safe work and citi…

It’s a cool concept, but I can’t imagine what would make me want to frequent a message board that was explicitly designed to give wealthy users more of a voice. The wealthy have en…

I believe whoever solves the emotional dysregulation that leads to some persecution complexes will genuinely deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. While I doubt this will solve the problem …

That’s a solid point. I guess profiteering probably isn’t the best impulse.

Honestly it feels more like setting up a lemonade stand along a marathon route that goes right through our collective vegetable gardens. LLMs are on a quest to scrape and steal as …

I would argue that UPS has the right to know the location of its packages and trucks, but not its drivers. If a driver has to leave for a few hours for a family emergency, UPS no l…

My rule of thumb is that if you’re not measuring anything you’re not engineering. It’s not the whole picture, but to me the engineering part sometimes means being able to explain (…

I’ve been coaching my son’s team for the last four years, and this sounds like the breath of fresh air the program desperately needed. Keeping the kids engaged and invested has alw…

The former. I didn’t realize how few of my projects have even had an intentional architecture. So often they go from feature designs to mockups to tickets to code without any real …

I don’t understand why you’re bringing up Obama. Nobody is defending him, and I think you might be inferring some sort of tribalistic defensiveness without any evidence. I see that…

I buy mine from VCoins. They’re pretty inexpensive if you don’t need them certified or anything, and many sellers are very above board and professional.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’m actually getting to the end and wondered where to go next. Perfect timing! I’ll go ahead and order those today :). > Where did you acquire cheap…

> requiring little to no government/regulatory involvement I think you lose this battle as soon as you start providing residences to people. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure t…

I’m reading Domain Driven Development and learning why so many of my projects have been tough to maintain. I also recently learned that you can get ancient coins for very little mo…

Didn’t you just reinvent the trailer park? What you’re describing sounds like an urban trailer park, and that sounds less than great.

I’m a recovering alcoholic. I’m almost positive that the effects of alcohol are wildly different between the two of us. When I drink my brain spits out more reward chemicals than I…

In my experience the higher up you get on the corporate ladder, the less you’re going to be held accountable for anything. Executives only stick around until they get bored or can …

Let me know if you find a good privacy-focused alternative. I’m absolutely replacing mine after this.
