You can use public transportation, bikes, car pooling, taxis and rentals for your rare-use needs, and its usually cheaper than owning and operating a vehicle.

Unnecessarily negative imo. I like the video because I cant read a blog post in the background while doing other stuff, and I like Gadget Hackwrench narrating semi-obscure CS topic…

It's easy to win an argument when you get to construct both sides. You can easily be direct and to the point without being brash. You could, also, be wrong or misinformed, so I don…

That doesnt necessarily track. He could have stolen the data, then reported it to clear his own name. He did access more data than he needed to prove that there is a likely breach.…

Is it? if 10 people may have committed a crime, should we exonerate 1 of them because he reported it and promises he didnt do anything?

If you flip it, we have a dude here admitting to breaching a large number of accounts and gaining access to PII -- including PII about minors. Are we and the Maltese government jus…

we should be worried about both. there is a real risk of this rendering human trust and the internet pretty much useless

eh, words are reality. insults are just changes in air pressure but they still hurt, and being constantly subjected to negativity and harsh language would be an unpleasant work env…

I'm not being factious, but is there any Linux distro with a desktop experience that matches Windows and macos? Like, yes, I know there are many flaws with both. A lot of sound, te…

Spoiler: No, they dont. They never do. Reports will say "yeah, probably" and in 10-40 years will change to "oooh well they didnt".

not only does OP imagine a powerful customer base, theyre all aligned enough that one configuration fits all. im doubtful

Aren't you the one building on suppositions? We know that they don't have flight hours. We cannot conclude what condition they were in aside from that. to jump from "they could be …

You, and the OP, are being unfair in your replies. Obviously, it's not worthless for all applications but when LLMs obviously fail in disastrous ways in some important areas, you c…

a wonderful thing to do in that case is to either ask, or present your concern as a concern. An expression of uncertainty and fear. Not as a statement, or counterclaim, or by tryin…

for given values of "smarter" and "dumber". i've yet to encounter a smart digital to-do system. most are terrible and pretty dumb. a paper todo is pretty much as smart as you make …

What "is" JavaScript then? It's not the language specification (that's ECMAScript) and it's not the interpreters (that's Node, Deno, Bun, V8, Spidermonkey…), so what... is it? And …

Roman-built roads and the spread of Latin were tremendously important. Noone said they were invented by them.

Personally I disagree. IMO, devtools were better when competing with firebug, but I haven't experienced much of a difference in the past... 8? years. Something like that.

It also doesn't work properly, since it sets cookies before you make a choice.

There are parallells to human complacency, and there have been military incidents due to it.

Not sure about "fix" but cooling the body via hot showers is a fairly common recommendation for anxiety relief, especially prior to sleep. Supposedly, if you cool the body down ext…

I'm willing to bet that a lot of the times, the issues are 1) overestimating how much laundry detergent they need 2) not putting some extra detergent in the dishwasher

So you're supposing that Musk will use his influence with american politicians to threaten Sweden with revoked NATO membership? ok

one idea could be to produce less chickens

TypeScript became so much more pleasant to use after we started using parsers regularly. We use Runtypes in some projects and a hand rolled lib I wrote in others, and being able to…
