Not sure why you posted something so specific and fairly recent, it was easy to find more data. They could put you in prison for this dox.

I’m sorry, I support a thought experiment but 50% is not a realistic heuristic at all. I’d be surprised if even 10% of comments here were from women. Don’t shoot the messenger that’s just been my experience when it comes to tech forums.

Both views are valid in different circumstances.

If your business is a well automated machine where technology acts as a force multiplier for some level of human input that is approaching 0 over time, then it becomes a possession. Most tech people aspire to have this kind of business. It is easier to do with it whatever you please, including taking it in a risky new direction or even shutting it down completely. The only person you hurt is yourself.

If however your business is driven mostly by raw human labor and more and more families are depending on the jobs you create as you grow, then you are mostly in the stewarding category. You will lie awake at night knowing that many people are counting on you to make the right decisions and to be merciful to them.

No mention of vim or neovim?

Is this what we would see with the naked eye if we were close enough to the black hole? Or would we see nothing, because at this distance we would be dead (or the universe ended all around us)?

Are we witnessing the end of Udacity?

I can certainly see imagery, but never to the level it becomes hallucinatory.

Instead, it feels more like a background process. The more I focus on a mental image the less I "see" the visual input to my retinas. I've attempted to figure out how many visual streams I can see at the same time and I struggle to imagine more than three. If I focus very intently on all of them it seems I don't see any of them in great detail.

Certainly if I block out my visual input or focus on some unchanging imagery it becomes far easier to make my mental imagery more intense and detailed, but they can also be disrupted quite easily again by some new visual stimuli or an errant thought.

In a situation like this the best action is to install a puppet who you can blackmail. Then use them to push policies you find favorable to you.

As they should. That is the point of technology.

The argument that Democrats are all the best people who always have a genuine interest for others and the environment has it beat.

I doubt few would argue that gaming is a passive activity. What they seem to argue is that any gaming experience specifically designed for entertainment is ultimately worthless.

There’s games all around us if you look. I like to play the “I broke my kernel and my entire system is fucked and now I gotta repair it” game or the “write a driver for some obscure hardware” game or even “demonstrate a vulnerability exploit on a live system” game, all which lead to greater value creation and self fulfillment superior to defeating some imaginary creature.

If this is what you want just sign up for Netflix’s dvd service. Problem solved.

And for good reason, because if those working class young take a risk and it doesn’t work out (and it usually doesn’t) they are doomed to a lifetime of poverty and anguish from which there is no escape. There is value in taking the safe bet. Having a degree in English will be a cold comfort then.

I have a hard time believing this would be the norm at a sufficient number of companies that it would justify picking up one of these degrees. Knowing technical skills when applying to technical companies seems like a safer bet.

I am not convinced it is wise to abandon an opportunity for a STEM degree in favor of humanities when it seems like it’d be far easier to DIY a humanities education than it would be to DIY a STEM education.

Miami doesn’t worry much about hurricanes either.

Thank you for making your CLI a first class citizen. I have been growing tired of typical web app interfaces and am glad to see something that just gets straight to the point instead of trying to “Wow” me with graphical UX.

I’ve heard the same protest that MITM attack should be changed to “person-in-the-middle” attack. From west coast professionals no doubt.

Ah Eternal Return, it brings comfort to know that we may simply be living our exact same life over and over again for all eternity. Really motivates me to live to the fullest, to have the most enjoyable eternity.

Seldom isn’t good enough. When it comes to security you have to be right 100% of the time. An attacker only has to be right once. Good luck.

It’s not used because any serious attack is going to come from multiple unrelated sources, think a botnet full of compromised IoT devices hitting your server with 20TB a second worth of requests. So you might as well plan for that scenario instead.

I think it’s clear we will inevitably need those floating ocean cities that Peter Thiel talked about, where tech companies can be free to operate outside of irrational and ill-drafted geopolitical laws, and any country that doesn’t want citizens to access their content must simply block them off with a country wide firewall, and make criminals out of those who go around it. It is unlikely they will differentiate between child pornographers and unauthorized social media perusers in that case.

Even if a Democratic regime takes over in 2021 I promise you it will be no different. One of the largest expanses of the surveillance state was a consequence of the previous President, and there is no reason to believe that won’t continue into the foreseeable future.

Yes.

Nobody is killing anybody. We need a peaceful, sustainable solution to let those who abuse power fall and those who have the good interests of people at heart to rise.

You may be joking, but I really think some of these posts may be by design. Some of these frameworks are so easy to use and in skilled hands lead to such impressive results, that it becomes harder to get a competitive advantage with UX. A single developer can do today what once took a small team. Thus we see these fucked up ladder kicking posts where people are encouraged to go use last generation tech, so they get left in the dust by companies pushing ever forward. By the time they realize how far behind they’ve fallen, it’s too late.

How do you hack around it?

The environment doesn’t require such enhanced levels of intelligence for individuals to survive long enough until they can reproduce.

If we required IQ tests of a certain score as a prerequisite for breeding children, then maybe you would see progress in human evolution in this area.

This religious rule comes from a well known scientific observation: meat blocks calcium absorption.

Let me tell you something: No matter what you do, evil always finds a way. And when it does, do you really want to live with the regret that you could have done more, but chose not to for fear of some imaginary future evil?
