I think the UK has been handling their end shockingly well, fwiw

>We have standardized tests, already, nationwide. And voting is legislated by individual states, that would theoretically implement their own standards though this may be intervene…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test The problem (like with voter ID laws in the US) is that it's a very slippery slope to voter suppression, and in the US we have a very cr…

What state do you live in, and what is the density of your neighborhood (e.g. urban, suburban, rural)?

I've similarly wondered if I could get a pre-2024 Wikipedia if just for the "fact based" flavor LLM

It's beyond disgusting to me that the "News Bias meter" on the bottom of the article claims this is "unfairly" biased towards the left. Just because it doesn't reflect well towards…

My pet conspiracy theory is that leetcode is used to exploit imposter syndrome in candidates. After going through an hourlong session where you came up with the less-than-optimal b…

My heuristic: If you have 5 or more arguments, you should use a config object.

I always got the impression that downdetector worked by logging the number of times they get a hit for a particular service and using that as a heuristic to determine if something …

The one true hybrid work model for tech (in my opinion anyway) is to just have everyone meet in-person in some cadence for sprint planning/PI planning/whatever your cycle is. Every…

I've been more and more of the opinion that hobbies are what drive our sense of meaning and no so much work, but occasionally it's hard to remember that when you're dealing with th…

I should clarify, the point is to not discriminate against a protected class.

It's common in fintech for data/ML models to go through similar overview. If you happen to disenfranchise a set of people because your model said not to lend to them, you risk lega…

I think what OP is saying is that documenting the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere does nothing to actually remove it, and hence is of little value to anyone except wh…

It's called piracy via a box set up in Eastern Europe and a Plex server.

Maybe a total coincidence that I read this morbid news on South Korea while I've started watching Squid Game, but watching a show that's effectively an allegory of capitalist decli…

One perk I've enjoyed with error verbosity is the ability to spit out different logs depending on where in the function you've failed. I'm not super familiar with the shortcut bein…

The lay down movement is the start of this, imo.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Actually though this is a fucking big brother atrocity of a policy that people will inevitably circumvent and the government…

Comedy Central runs a Youtube series where comedians talk about their drug trips, and the DMT ones always seem INTENSE. It seems like if you take enough you basically check out of …

My parents will still try to pay for me sometimes, but my mom has venmo now so I can at least fire her whatever my costs were. For all the weird shit I put up with in my family, at…

>Data transfer isn’t a finite resource like oil or gas. Clearly you haven't seen those crappy limited data ISP contracts floating around. It's an issue for some people.

It could be that you haven't added the domain they're served from onto your blacklist. A weird side story: I had a situation where an app on my Roku TV would crash if it failed to …

So these "information requests" could be, say, checking a user's IP to track fake news?

I tossed in a screenlock and my screenshot tool and loved it. I did miss the f* keys though, I just wish they'd kept them.
