It’s not about the computers. This individual has demonstrated he has no regard or respect for others property, and may very well go on to commit other more serious crimes if he ge…

So much of the life coaching industry reeks of this crap. Follow any 20-something “life” coach these days and you’ll probably be treated to a stream of flowery feel good quotes tha…

Depends who is doing the watching. Wouldn’t want to be watched by some oppressive liberal government trying to change my life by forcing me to “progress” how they want.

Emojis are too jocular for the tone we are trying to strike here. They lower the level of discourse down to something more like Reddit or Twitter.

If you ever see emoji in hackernews comments then hackernews, as it has been, is over.

No matter how hard I think, I cannot seem to manifest any true pain in my mind. I doubt a pig could either.

I don’t see why they bothered drugging the brains. Even if they became conscious, the pig’s bodies are dead and gone. There is nothing to feel, one is simply alone with their thoug…

When you are working in software, you are not “sitting at a desk”, you’re sitting at the helm of the future. All of the advancements and evolution of mankind and life on this earth…

Good luck repairing the level 5 drywall finish these mansions tend to have.

Excuse my outburst, but I'm wondering when these social network algorithms are going to realize: I don't follow "interests", I follow PEOPLE . If you want to show users random news…

What exactly does an "illegal" facial recognition machine look like?

It is almost certainly for self-protection. Responding seriously in response to someone's sarcasm or snarks is a fool's endeavor. The person doesn't care and their only interest is…

How would one go about becoming a flash boy, if it were still feasible?

But it’s not the whole story. If we had no connection to the past, it would feel like there’s no way to ever have a connection to the future, and thus it would feel pointless to do…

I thought this was going to be a more direct kill, as in maybe a slide that flashed bright colors very quickly and killed people who got seizures from it.

It is not possible to ever see a scene like this even if one were sitting in deep space is it? These sorts of images are the result long exposures, but a human would only see black…

He’s fine. A typical developer’s true work day is probably all of one gallon.

And developers should study it, then create a simple site generator where you can enter the palette, a name, some text and spit out the same site for whatever custom scheme you wan…

Many years ago when I was no longer happy with my job I began to quietly search for a new one. My current job paid well but I had hit a wall and felt I was not going to make any pr…

Not when they bite your toddler and it dies damn near instantly.

There is no rational, people who simply don't understand or use a certain feature are more likely to write it off as a bad or useless feature. Pay them no mind. COPY TO/FROM PROGRA…

I see this as a good thing. We need less people in the world, it will be better for the planet, and civilization will be more sustainable. Better to have a highly automated more em…

This isn’t so bad if it kills off water moccasins which will definitely kill you if they bite you. They like to hide in bushes or under trash cans and can easily lash out at you or…

The company has a right to hire contractors or outsource work.

These groups tend to be invite only and don’t publicly post this code as it reveals usernames of people on blacklists, but if you search around discord channels or some subreddits …
