Harsh, but fair.

Or be in the business of selling .ai domain names.

Funny, Telegraph readers also seem to believe that the BBC can harmfully influence people's minds.

Golang? Pretty easy to pick up coming from Python and proper concurrency.

Reminds me of https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/aug/17/thailand.famil...

I came across this yesterday for golang: https://sqlc.dev which is somewhat like what you want, maybe. Not sure it allows you to parameterize table names but the basic idea is code…

Don't entirely disagree but the investigation of misgendering tweets most likely doesn't need anyone to actually leave a desk so a "thorough investigation" sounds like the police a…

In the UK this was normal for IT (and other) contractors because there were tax advantages to the employer and to the employee/contractor. The employer could avoid paying National …

Whenever a search leads me to a question/answer on Quora I'm inevitably hit with a Sign In popup that blocks the whole screen. Feels obnoxious and I just back button away.

While I don't disagree with the overall premise, Rishi Sunak has only been an MP since 2015 and this scandal has been going since 1999 so I am not sure the relationships you presen…

Maybe it's a small thing, but Wilson uses the adjective "wrecked" where the other translators use "sacked" or "plundered". If that kind of loss of fidelity/nuance is typical of the…

I also feel that generating HTML from string templates is wrong because its so fine-grained. We use a lot of boostrap and its verbose, repetitive and hard to keep standardized usin…

+1 for the additional information. Also, nice username, upvoted.

A good book which addresses the perception that "possessions are a projection of my true self" but it lost me when the author describes limiting himself to a single towel to both d…

I think Jesus Mouse was onto something. I've been to the Vatican. I don't think Jesus would have been impressed.

Don't get involved in company Patent applications.

Thanks for the link that leads to: https://medium.com/@andrewjrogers/the-story-of-builtwith-e3b... Main thing that comes out of it is "focus". Focus starts to dissipate the larger …

Thanks for clarification.

But the rest of the quote is "....and unto God the things that are God's". Context is rather important. Jesus (reportedly) says this to avoid speaking out against the tax which wou…
