I'm two weeks into a vibecoded Illustrator, actually ( https://orochi235.github.io/weasel/swillustrator ). It's built on top of a more generic WebGL presentation layer for canvas-b…

I'm not saying diplomatic realism is useless, or that countries shouldn't act strategically to further their own interests. I'm saying that you have to balance those needs against …

> I am not sure there is such a thing as "respect" at the very high level. The public opinion is easily swayed and important actions are dictated by pragmatism This seems like a co…

Noam Chomsky has had a remarkable career, but he's really old and was never anywhere within shouting distance of the political center. Neither is Current Affairs, for what it's wor…

What's the alternative, though? The leader of your country is terrorizing Europe in ways not seen in almost 80 years. We all know all-out war between nuclear states is not an optio…

You can be as sarcastic as you want, but these stories are absolutely indicative of a much larger problem. It might be beyond the capacity of one company to fix, but in the aggrega…

No tests. At all. Ever.

Am I the only one who finds this editorial morally repugnant, especially considering it was written by a VC who runs a fund that specifically invests in startups facing "regulatory…

These claims are pretty flimsy. For one thing, Yahoo's search engine is Bing, so it's fallacious to say that two of three search engines yielded the same result, and that result is…

You make some good points, but her contributions to the US's surveillance program are barely more than a footnote on the campaign page. Most are about past economic or geopolitical…

> I don't understand your overall position. I understand that one aspect of it well enough to call it idiotic. This assertion ('I admittedly don't understand the context, but I'll …

I guess they don't teach you that until Entrepreneurship 102.

It's pretty smooth of you to call me an idiot, double down on that, and _then_ say you don't understand my position. This sort of intimidation (of Dr. Rice and anyone who associate…

To be clear, I'm not trying to say this sort of action should be illegal. Just that I think it's tasteless, shortsighted, and somewhat hypocritical to do anonymously, given that it…

There's a critical distinction between voting with your own wallet and launching an (anonymous) campaign to ensure someone never works again.

I can't help but notice that whoever is behind this campaign found it necessary to give attribution to the people who produced the images on the page, and provided helpful links to…

I hated the Eich thing and I hate this too. Even if she has been wrong about basically everything she was ever put in charge of, this is not how we settle political disputes in a c…

Sketchy Internet behavior from Nigeria? Astonishing.

It looks like they ripped all those diagrams off from a three-year old Tom's Hardware article: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplain... http://www.tomshardwa…

I'm an experienced web developer (Backbone is my preferred framework) whose team is migrating to Ember. It has its high points, but on the whole, it's been driving me nuts. Ember, …

DUPE ARTICLE! DUPE ARTICLE! OMG GUYS IT'S A DUPE! I just migrated here from Slashdot; am I doing it right? :p
