You mistake the author's central claim. The central claim is that certain things cannot be taught or even researched if they appear to hurt the feelings of students. Sex being bina…

Communication and honest debate about facts and details, such as the ones you bring up yourself, is impossible when the people you are attempting to communicate with don't care abo…

There is a no right turn sign on the post to the left of the vehicle just before it begins the turn.

There are always trade-offs though. 1) If you're busy maintaining backward compat, you're not busy building innovative new things -- Microsoft. 'nuf said. 2) You have a built-in ex…

Wonderful story. Both the janitor and the CEO epitomize Ayn Rand's "ideal man": > "The moral issue is: how do you approach the field of work given your intellectual endowment and t…

Another gotcha with HSTS + includesubdomains is if you have a naked domain e.g. https://example.com redirecting to a www prefix e.g. https://www.example.com , but the server is con…

I find the the amount of traffic and comments articles with this message generate quite amusing, given the article can be boiled down to: don't use tools like Cassandra, Kafka, etc…

Leaving aside the (unconvincing) possibility that Boeing was actively covering up issues (which, if they were, is potentially a criminal issue due to fraud), there is a deeper phil…

This comment is profoundly ignorant. You're dismissing her philosophy because of two descriptive words (and not even the best two, which would probably be "rational selfishness"), …

Agreed. Microsoft Azure Portal is taking up 934 MB, Gmail is 502 MB, Pocket is 309 Mb. Google Keep takes 180 Mb or so.

You miss the point. I don't think they are acting shitty. They're acting according to what both you and they agreed to in advance. You knew (or should have known) what they were (a…

Which should have been clear to you when you joined the company and read and signed the employment and stock options agreements (you did read them, didn't you?). If that isn't to y…

The comparison to kbfs and IPFS seems relatively straightforward based on a cursory reading of the three web sites... kbfs still stores files, and I still depend on them to keep th…

There was a better story about a printer / print server I remember reading somewhere -- someone here will remember and link it I'm sure. This story is so obviously contrived -- wha…

Unfortunately, there is indeed a lot of truth to the statement that it is a PR gimmick. The problem with wind and solar is that they are intermittent. Therefore, Google's consumpti…

Not "hard" as such. Just requires a completely separate code path than the local cursor and selection machinery. That isn't too much of a barrier though... I look forward to its im…

Demo is updated now to fix the newline bug.

> If, on the other hand, you mean showing the cursors from other people working on a collaborative document This is what I meant. Good that its not very hard. Though I'm curious: h…

The primary data structure underneath is a "causal tree" CRDT. However, import/export to a JSON structure representing rich text is the "native" format. Example is the source used …

Quill is good but not great. I looked at Quill extensively before embarking on writing Ritzy. Its collaboration features are minimal -- as far as I know there is no way to do colla…
