How can a soccer player be loyal or illoyal to Xi?

That Blender Gitea theme is really nice! I wonder why exactly it's so much easier on the eyes? In a lot of ways all of these are "just Github" with minor changes, so the one that i…

Every time I see this my brain reads it as "Beware of Drunk Beer" - truly, it is the beer I have already drank that has done the most damage to me so far

I too am only a software engineer today because I wrote crappy games for the TI83 in middle school. The day I discovered you could download games from the web, the scales fell from…

First time I've been jealous of Claude as a Codex user. When does it say "Stop poking me!"?

I'll join the chorus of praise for Homeworld. It was a big part of that era for me. I must have spent hours just zooming the camera as close as I could get to all the different shi…

Wow, they just opened a brand new one in Philly less than two months ago. I've yet to shop there and I guess now I never will. It must have cost millions to clear that site and bui…

The iPhone Pocket is a pocket for your iPhone and not a pocket-sized iPhone??? Unbelievable. So disappointing.

Kraftwerk were hugely influential on the pioneers of hip-hop. One clear example is Afrika Bambaataa sampling "Trans-Europe Express" for "Planet Rock," one of the earliest hip-hop r…

Even a net zero effect would mean some people were replaced with AI and the same amount of people were hired to use AI

It's the developer performance benefit of catching type bugs early, not the application performance benefit from a compiler, that Python developers find compelling

GP has edited the comment to make more sense

Paying their executives exorbitant salaries

But it can be tricked into delegating incorrectly - for example, to the "allowed to use confidential information" agent instead of the "general purpose" agent

I never realized Brian Wilson and Sly Stone were the same age. Small world

That's what's neat about the simpler C# version (and this proposal): it's bound to whatever block it's in and doesn't need its own scope/indentation

You are aware that scientists have to eat and pay rent, right? A lack of funding in the US will draw scientists to places that do have funding. You're confusing "science in the US …

He used a metaphor in which he slaughters his entire team? Sheesh, talk about making the subtext text.
