cema··on The Bawdy Graffiti of Pompeii and Herculaneum
Somehow the passage of time gives it a modicum of respectability.
cema··on Ask HN: How do FAANGs document their infrastructure?
When you know where to go (go/righthere) it's great. When you don't know where to go you need an external source (document or person) to tell you.
cema··on Government audit of AI finds no AI
Not just flame wars; wars.
cema··on Ask HN: How do FAANGs document their infrastructure?
Athenahealth has borrowed the go system. I should say discoverability is not great.
cema··on Math Problems for children from 5 to 15 (2004) [pdf]
It is not a trick so much as thinking what kinds of operations can be done with these vessels and water. Not necessarily a good interview question, but may be a good discussion with a young student.
cema··on Math Problems for children from 5 to 15 (2004) [pdf]
Well, it sounds awkward in Russian as well as English but it works.
cema··on Papers every developer should read at least twice (2009)
Is this written by a racist? http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/racism.html
cema··on Modern Javascript: Everything you missed over the last 10 years (2020)
Is called a trampoline, a standard trick more or less.
cema··on Pentagon surveilling Americans without a warrant, Senator Wyden reveals
Did he really collaborate?
cema··on The Plan for the Rust 2021 Edition
I just want to wish you good luck on your journey to software engineering. It is an incredibly satisfying and rewarding experience, and I know that many people who have chosen this path as a career change are happy and successful!
cema··on “About one-third of Basecamp employees accepted buyouts today”
Is it true or is it hearsay? I have not had much contract with remote parts off the country during this period and am not sure.
cema··on Why the United States has the best research universities
Could you please elaborate on how "American fascists" are playing a role here? Sounds far fetched.
cema··on Developer tools can be magic but instead collect dust
Then there is this saying that if a lawyer represents himself in a court, he has a fool for a customer
cema··on Far-right supporters move to open source to evade censorship
Stallman is, unfortunately.
cema··on GitHub, fuck your name change
You are right, but I would add another item. She forcefully inserted herself in the conversation you had with your friend, and did it in a way that changed the conversation to the worse, with the tone becoming adversarial, and the direction of the thought rather different from what the original participants of the conversation intended. When it happens to a friendly group of people (as was the case here) it is okay, the confusion can be resolved peacefully and the conversation can move whichever way the three of you choose, being friends and all. But sometimes it happens in a larger scale, and then the conversation can be destroyed. I really wish people had been more conducive to maintaining a dialogue, we need to maintain a decent level of discourse in the society (and, more particularly, in our industry).
cema··on Why are most climate models in Fortran?
Also Julia. A rising star, with a vibrant community and ongoing improvements such as performance optimization
cema··on Israel's autonomous 'robo-snipers' and suicide drones raise ethical dilemma
Your line of comments is really our of line here, not related to the substance of discussion but only pushing a political agenda. Please try to stay close to the topic.
cema··on The blissful political incorrectness of Soviet comedies
To add a little background, the "White Sun of the Desert" belongs to the genre which is sometimes called the "eastern", in the footsteps of the American "western". It describes what was known in the Soviet historiography as "the establishment of the Soviet power in Central Asia".
cema··on Thanks HN: Lessons learned after Google nearly killed my site
I do consider it injustice, in the everyday sense of the word (not legal).
cema··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
It looks reasonable to me. And why ad hominem? At least you were polite; but the argument does not look compelling.
cema··on Microsoft collaborates on standard for tracing the origin of digital content
Could be. But from the article I do not see why. Could you elaborate?
cema··on How Google Ruined Waze and Consolidated Mapping
I keep using Waze over Map but I have noticed what looks to me like a one sided data flow from Waze to Map: traffic information, road closures etc. Too bad that it extends well beyond end user experience.
cema··on Despite a steadily slipping market share, Firefox is snappy and feature-forward
Tried Brave?
cema··on My experience as a Gazan girl getting into Silicon Valley companies
Or it could be automated.
cema··on My experience as a Gazan girl getting into Silicon Valley companies
People with MS and 6 years of experience are judged differently from fresh graduates.
cema··on My experience as a Gazan girl getting into Silicon Valley companies
Congratulations and good luck!
cema··on Choose Boring Technology (2015)
I am not sure about the down votes (no reason for them in my opinion) but the casual jab at capitalism looks gratuitous and does not help making the argument seem stronger.
cema··on Statement on New York Times Article
True more or less everywhere in the world, and does not make attempts to apply it in a different direction any better.
cema··on B8ta closing another San Francisco store after armed robbery
I think that the study you refer to is open to interpretation.
cema··on Program teaches prisoners coding so they can land tech jobs once released
Possible but costly. The US lacks a single information system regarding criminal history. There are private investigators, other private companies in the business of "record retrieval", but the results are not 100% accurate.
