This scenario is highly speculative and recent research has cast a ton of doubt on the assertion that melting ice is causing weaker jet streams. People are desperate for doomsday s…

I agree, but it comes across as unprincipled and reactionary when this stuff is always done as a consequence of bad PR or high profile subs throwing a fit.

At the moment Docker and Kubernetes are the reason I’m using Linux at work. Without those I’d just use the M1.

I don’t like Joe Rogan but his earlier episodes were my first introduction to real long form, off the cuff conversations that have become pretty common now. Even relatively recentl…

Strip just under 50% of the country of voting rights to combat creeping authoritarianism? At least you’re shameless I guess.

I don’t mean to be too critical, but this article is part of a larger trend. I can nod along with all of its central claims and walk away with exactly zero actionable advice or pra…

It really depends on the settlement, but yeah they're not exclusively religious fanatics of course. In any case, the parent comment claimed nobody was fighting over theology, not "…

They quite literally are. I would encourage you to listen to the arguments put forth by the Israelis currently settling across the internationally recognized borders in the West Ba…

I think they’ve correctly learned that these concerns aren’t sufficient to prevent users from flocking to the next new app that their friends are using.

I hear you. I get where people are coming from in a general sense. On the other hand, it strikes me as a kind of provincialism. I feel like the same argument could have been made i…

I remember when I lived there everyone was so against the “manhattanization” of the city, so it was a big uproar every time a new building went in. I never quite understood how to …

A somewhat similar thing just happened to me with Apple. I did an AppleCare express replacement for an iPhone (swapped out my old, damaged phone for a new one via mail). Fedex then…

This is somewhat tangential, but I'm feeling a bit ambivalent about all of the popular options for building RESTFul APIs lately. With every new entry in the ecosystem, the same lib…

That consciousness arises from the physical world and not something like the soul.

My disagreement with the fsf is pretty fundamental. I don’t see anything wrong, all things equal, with paying someone for software that is closed source provided there’s some way t…

This entire discussion is about laws regarding minimum wage, the act of literally making it illegal to hire for less than a certain wage. I’m not sure I see the confusion

In this fictional scenario every single community member has become a racist but the government legislative and enforcement bodies are immune from this trend? Making something ille…

I’ve tried a few Ubuntu distros as of late and truthfully they’ve all been pretty impressive. The last issue I really have is fractional scaling on a 4K.

Do any of the Ubuntu flavors support fractional scaling without big performance hits? That’s really my last remaining gripe with Linux on the desktop.

Such a clause is pretty common in employment contracts.

Yeah I saw that, but just wasn’t sure how using intrinsics played a role.

Gotcha. Thanks. So presumably Clang would have done the same for C?

Are compiler optimizations like summing a series done on an ad-hoc basis? Certainly the compiler couldn’t have discovered or inferred (not sure what term to use) that formula, no? …

How specifically does the addition of static typing encourage spaghetti code?

I experienced this with Lambdas behind a VPC, and yeah it's completely crazy. This is true with the DB offerings as well? I don't see what the use case is then. Intermittent backgr…
