    No, it isn't. The comment we're replying to here is about someone adding a message to their code repo that's shown to Russian viewers. Are you saying that if people don't do this, …

    > Inaction is equal to support of the Russian invasion No, no it isn't, in this or in other situations. More than two choices _usually_ exist. Statements like this present a false …

    Understand things like, "what is in shampoo", to take an example from the article? I like to understand things too, but there there's plenty of things to learn, and I think one can…

    Sure you can- don't be discouraged. You can dump your leftover household chemicals in your yard, or in a storm drain!

    I wish America had more bikeable cities and better public transport too, but I don't see what that has to do with the linked article. I would also really like a dumbcar.

    It's just as easy to argue that leetcode-style interviews are because companies are afraid of being discriminatory in hiring. If you aren't allowed to consider culture fit (because…

    Yes- death to Philips and slotted screw heads. Torx, square/Robertson, or (internal or external) hex heads are all so much better.

    Several people mention DuckDuckGo in that Twitter thread. I use DuckDuckGo for my main search engine, and it's not obviously any better than Google regarding SEO spam.

    Eh... regardless of how it's generally used, I think "leech" implies a parasite that is actively harming a host. Generally users who don't contribute aren't directly _benefitting_ …

    Isn't the usual complaint that people (politicians included) _under_estimate exponential growth?

    What is this website? Is there an "about" or something? What is it doing differently from the official AWS status page?

    I don't believe this one. I guess it's possible it was originally true, but I don't think it's relevant now. I've lived in a house where we let the lawn go. It got very brushy and …
