Microsoft has a chrome and Firefox extension for similar management lockdown

This sounds really interesting but possibly qualitatively different than programming/engineering where automated improvements/iterations are part of the job (and what's rewarded)

Not even kidding - the AskHistorians reddit. I use their Sunday digest links as a magazine: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/search/?q=title%3A%22... It's filled in both so m…

That is somewhat mitigated by grouping comparisons of S/M/L change sizes. It would be interesting to group changes by line-deletions, say to indicate rewrites (and size of them)

on top of that, I personally know several women scientists that had to put up with his misogyny first-hand.

All my teacher friends (before this article) had joyously reported on lunch rooms being loud again (and even fights and lol, sex) happening.... But in a good way. If kids aren't ge…

I can't imagine the Cloud Act being effective without Microsoft (and French gov) complicity. If they can make successful tax shelters they can architect the entities and the archit…

I do this with audiobooks/podcasts and then can start with the lights off and lying down. (important part I find is making sure the dynamics are low -- no high-volume ads or flashy…

From the article: > Another argument supporting the suggestion that species which have lost their GLO gene were under no selective pressure to keep it, is that all species which ha…

Well, xz is a rare event too. There's no knowing how many backdoors were added by small network companies or contractors. But there's rarely accountability when it happens because …

I was so sad when I lost xmonad support on Ubuntu 24. I think the closest thing that could get most of the way there is https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell/

The headline is a little crazy. This is like someone talking about the Human Genome Project and the headline reading "scientists discover humans have DNA" The diversity at many lev…

I'm pretty sure they weren't unrecognizable or mystery and it's just being used as a pejorative for food they didn't like

A friend of mine argued that "math is invented" rather than discovered. This seemed wrong to me and in arguing against it I found https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nominalism-math…

Just balance that as well with what chemicals and elements show up in farmed salmon and wild salmon (heavy metals, micro plastics, PBDEs,...) Not saying one's better, just that all…

In the profitable cases (and maybe just as open offer), why not just sell them back to their staff/former owner? There's no point to keep the IP of games that are shuttered. Maybe …

Well the evidence is circumstantial. A bunch of Canaanites celebrate a spring festival with unleavened bread. Later they adopt a different religion that has a spring festival and a…

I'd answer a bit differently than replies so far. Later monotheist post "merging" of El and YHWH didn't really have space for El's son so they had to treat him as a lesser and then…

There's definitely some relatable and transmitted stories like the flood, etc. However, the Levant and Egyptian gods "grew up" in different contexts than Mesopotamia. Egypt was pre…

I don't want to completely refute this because I'm also an amateur and there are a lot of instabilities of consensus, but Baal was at least also the son of El in Canaanite religion…

Agree in general -- I think the tiktok/shorts wave is biasing strongly for shorter video and then the time format kills any followup/2nd iteration-explanation But this one was pret…

I'm trying to read the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.10732 to get a sense of things in more detail (probably quite helplessly). It's talking about ellipticity. Should I be imagi…

Against the Day is by far my favorite. It has the same sweep-of-history as Gravity's Rainbow and some others of his epics but I think it's the one where I actually feel for the cha…

I think we need to adjust society so fewer people feel they have nothing to lose than in the status quo.

I explored this idea a while ago https://ouwi.org/ I wasn't able to get the perfect crystal I wanted but I think whatever works will need to be a lot more visually differentiated t…
