RCortex··on Design Your Way to a Happier Life
Or, pursue what fascinates you? Does there need to be a book on this?
RCortex··on Artist Peter Doig victorious as court agrees '$10m' painting is not his work
Thanks for writing this up, helped me clarify different interpretations. From my point of view, whether or not the painting is Doig's affects his brand and the value of his name, which I do think he has the right to control.
RCortex··on Bay Area Startups Find Low-Cost Outposts in Arizona
I lived there for about a decade too, had many friends who weren't white though.
RCortex··on Bay Area Startups Find Low-Cost Outposts in Arizona
Hardly, I lived in AZ for a while and it's a very legitimate fear. Minorities (not just those who are racially profiled as illegal immigrants) routinely are asked by officers to present identification at fucking barnes and nobles of all places. Source, friends, family, and observation.

RCortex··on An Open Letter to Warner Bros CEO About Layoffs and Donuts-
Fuck around or fuck up, and your compensation is only hit with a pillow. And people make excuses for how you failed at your responsibilities. Sounds nice.

If CEOs are afraid to take necessary risks because of consequences, they suck at their jobs as leaders and should be fired. CEOs need to know what they're doing, they shouldn't be given a lower bar to clear than everyone else. That they do is mindboggling.

RCortex··on The Linux kernel hidden inside Windows 10
Anyone know if it's possible to somehow port the linux subsystem to windows 7 and 8?
RCortex··on Uber's Move Away from PostgreSQL
> "It's human nature"

Rather than making difficult-to-prove statements about humans that imply some sort of just moral backing for behavior, perhaps we should just refer to it as "something [lots of] people do."

RCortex··on Microsoft forks Unreal Engine 4 and ports it to Universal Windows Platform
> (GWX aside,)

Really, that lawsuit not enough to convince you it's a big deal? They're "upgrading" users without their consent/knowledge using ui dark patterns.

At least be honest if you work for Microsoft.

RCortex··on Goodbye, Object Oriented Programming
Err, not exactly, Berkeley and Mit use python now and have been for a while.
RCortex··on Coup attempt underway in Turkey
Gonna need a source for that.
RCortex··on Coursera courses preserved by Archive Team
Does anyone know if they archived the webpages, assignments, and quizzes too? Or did they just manage to download the lecture videos? I'll try downloading it myself and checking, but I don't have the fastest internet connection.
RCortex··on Investor Day
From the way they've set this up, it appears to be optimal for investors and pessimal for founders. Anyone else notice the same or disagree? It's in the proof for a particular theorem.
