Indeed. Humans still created the shape, they just used a tool of their choosing to do so…

I adore that film. It is nuts, but has a dreamy metaphysical quality to it that I love.

Fentanyl in MDMA, an easily synthesised empathogen stimulant - i.e. the complete opposite of an opioid high? Are dealers just sprinkling it like fairy dust over everything? What on…

Quietly, I hope…

Surprising precisely no one, I suspect.

Around 86% of Firefox’s income is from Google, yes.

The UK seems to be doing its best to top France in that respect. As is tradition.

Just wait until they can start executing AI-related tasks with quantum computing in 20 years time. The hype will no doubt be insufferable.

I suspect the existing implementation and it’s downsides are a feature not a bug.

The bullet would act as shrapnel and pling off into something expensive.

When this time comes I’ll make sure not to torrent my flu vaccine, and ensure I download it through the proper channels!

As someone from the UK currently in Tallinn and about to start a job search here - I hope the (non-crypto) startups stay! Estonia is such a beautiful country, with such a wonderful…

Sounds absolutely wonderful, I would love to go there! I think that sensuality is much underrated, and often overridden by and confused in society with sexuality. While the two oft…

It may not get sick, but it does hallucinate. ;)

Datagrip’s main selling point for me is that it’s a familiar UI over most databases one uses day to day. I hop into the native apps for more complex, database specific features (GI…

I concur! This describes my situation - and I suspect that of many others here. It’d be great to have some insight into how you navigated all this.

What a great name, too!

The most incredible thing about The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster is how casually prescient it is - first published in 1909! Instant messaging, video calls, the internet…

That the rabbi gets some too?

If they have something against modern microwaves, I hope they never discover office printer interfaces. It may be all too much.

>"OH we forgot to tell you about this caveat", then we'd go back to the drawing board, update the schema (thank heavens for migrations), rinse and repeat. Doesn’t sound that differ…

That sounds absolutely amazing! In a similar position to you regarding an amateur interest. I’d have loved to have been there too.
