The belief that one can or should judge another person (ie, on the normalness of their emotional intelligence) is quite boring, and is particularly annoying in coworkers. It is by …

I'd rather work with someone who makes good (or even bad) jokes about my code in reviews than a humorless bore who spends all their time policing everyone's appropriateness accordi…

I live in Minneapolis less than a mile from the fifth precinct. There are in fact metric F-Tons of out of state cars in the neighborhood since late last week. Tons of violence tour…

He's capturing availability, the manufacturer made the availability. There is no value-adding middle man role with a 10x value here (well value to anyone other than the middle man)…

What is the roadmap for supporting an Action that can push a commit (say a version bump) to a protected branch?

Cookie AutoDelete.

Also there's some weird bug with external monitors where after waking up from sleeping the TrueTone is maladjusted leaving the screen super dark- turning TrueTone off and back on a…

Learning German, he says, is particularly useful when applying oneself to the task of understanding the Germans, which he seems to be implying may be quite soon something of intere…

Found the smoker. Joking aside, non-smokers should not have to pay the insurance costs of smokers. It is all fine and good if you want to do that to yourself, but you should also h…

I upvoted you because I agree that thought and speech are clearly different things. However, regulating people's speech leads to contradictions that can only be solved by picking a…

European cities have much higher population density, and the lower personal income (often via higher taxes and, ironically, worker protection laws) changes the tradeoff between dri…

And what other master is comparable (in demonstrated authoritarianism, number of tanks, willingness to roll said tanks, etc...) to the Chinese communist party?

An important aspect of leadership is the courage to do the right thing, even at risk to one's own personal comfort and safety. In light of facts, you could make the argument that e…

Yes, but only if you access from within Madrid.

This really seems like the Right Way(tm) to approach this because it acknowledges that the google isn't attempting to be an authoritative source for what's really a subjective trut…

This of course. Why is anyone in the least surprised that Google doesn't want the ads that fund Chrome (and everything else they do) to be blocked by the users of Chrome. Shall Goo…

Just out of curiosity, what was considered cool?

It's surprising to me how many people seem to think that the FBI should be taking into consideration things that (I would think) belong to the realm of parenting. Maybe that viewpo…

There are several paragraphs that only serve to imply the narrative that the FBI sent him there and are covering it up. > The FBI’s Confidential Human Source Policy Guide said a ha…

Surely the point of the article was not that the FBI has one less asset now.

A hit piece is a story. Presented in a biased way. The title says clearly that the FBI is responsible for losing him. But it sounds like he actually wandered off into the wildernes…

Yes, that sucks. But. Assuming the FBI asked him not to go, why and how should they FBI put resources into finding out what he did and what happened to him? Whether the FBI sent hi…

It is a sad story, but from reading it, I dont think they manipulated him into going overseas. If you just look factually at the statements of the FBI, not the implications, it sou…
