    It's a common Tactic to pretend children are some sort of tabula rasa full of innocent wisdom that can be use to prove points. It's ridiculous, usually fake and hide the biases of …

    If you are not doing this same thing to every comment trying to remove my freedom, which then will call me some label for disagreeing with COVID policies or whatever then I can't r…

    This is what the crowd shouting misinformation and "protect X" asks for all the time. You want nanny states and nanny corps and authoritianism through and through (remember covid p…

    No they aren't. Of course you cans also call it's sonar eyes but it isn't. Anthropomorphizing cars doesn't make them humans either.

    No. Cars don't walk. Submarines don't swim. You can call it navigation if you want but words have meaning. > to move through water by moving the body or parts of the body.

    Noted. Probably the best thing would be simplified color coding in separate graphs showing 3 types of movements from worse to more efficient. And a good statement around what's the…

    Analyzing the typing experience in vim by looking at pure keystrokes would be a mistake if you don't understand the tradeoffs and benefits of having a modal system and operating th…

    They won't have the same phones we do. Elites don't follow rules. They push them into others.

    I love waymo but I think people rushing to defend this are making a mistake. It should come at a high cost to the company, if they make any sort of tragic mistake like this such th…

    I'd say git submodules have such an awkward UX that should probably not be used except in very rare and organized cases. I've done it before but it has to be worth it. But I get yo…

    That's great, what about when Europe does the same? https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eu-age-ver... It's a corporate lobbyst push and UK/Australia are just the cana…
