Nah, it's just a convention adopted from French after the Norman Conquest.

You’d do it lowercase in van Goch’s name because it’s the correct way to write it for him. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tussenvoegsel

How is that his biggest problem? He has no impulse control, or no desire for it; he lies incessantly to further his interests; he's a horrible manager; etc.

You're looking at it backwards. White people get an automatic advantage because they're white. Any advantages given to minorities are an attempt to balance the game.

‘The future of mankind’ only rests on life beyond earth if everybody gives up on keeping earth livable. The biggest threat to humanity is humanity, and a colony on the moon or Mars…

These days polyfills are seen as a bad practice, and instead people recommend ‘ponyfills’ that export the relevant functions but don’t monkeypatch.

I don’t think it’s a very persuasive rebuttal. I infer that McQuinn is a libertarian, which explains the issue: it amounts to ‘well [as a white man who automatically has power in e…

I’ve built lousy versions of these features multiple times, and I’m glad I won’t ever have to do it again.

I’m sure that’s true, but the premise of giving the responsibility to a machine is that it will consistently outperform humans. There should be less evidence available for FSD crit…

Is it actually better than a bad human driver? (And what’s your metric for ‘bad’ — tired, drunk, distracted, a teenager who just got their license but didn’t actually practice enou…

This is just another anti–affirmative-action/anti-“woke” grievance campaign with the same the same “diversity reduces quality” claims, but framed as a health issue. The only notabl…
