Sorry, but "good people" who are involved with all the evil things Facebook does by working for them aren't good people. I know it's hip to absolve yourself of responsibility by saying "I just work here" or "I didn't…
It's not just the US at risk here. I feel like nobody here pays attention to what China does. Look at all the tensions between China and... Literally nearly every country around them. This isn't a US-only problem.
I'm not sure a bunch of techies who have no clue about geopolitics and have zero interest in the welfare of the US or even European or non-Chinese populations to be the arbiter of what's okay or not okay. Apple/Google…
National security issues override your freedom to use a spying app by a country's primary geopolitical opponent. That's just how it is. You paint China as this innocent party and the US as the sole aggressor, which is…

If you say that, then I don't think you've paid attention to what they did to ROM sites in recent years. No other company has been as aggressive as they've been on this front.
I'd say it's worth it to use JoyCons even if you're emulating the games on PC. When they're not drifting, they're great controllers (if a bit cramped). I sold my Switch but I do miss the flexibility of holding my hands…
Look at the comments. He has barely any files on that server. "Yeah, you can use ZFS with barely any RAM." (if you don't have any files) Doesn't do me much good with my 10TB's of data.
Why wouldn't I want deduplication though? "You can use ZFS just fine, just turn off one of its most useful features." Really? And I'm being downvoted for it. Thanks, guys. You realize my home desktop is doubling as my…
I'd love to switch to ZFS, but the RAM requirements are absurd. I don't have a separate storage server, and I'm not really to sacrifice 10GB of RAM (1GB/TB of storage if I'm to believe what I find through Google) on my…
I'm not aware of any neuron that functions differently from other neurons. You have a soma, dendrites, synapses, electrical impulses and glia. Even if there are subtypes, they are all based on this basic functionality.…
Probably Linux. I don't understand how people put up with things like PulseAudio. If I use Windows, the audio sinks behave like I expect them to. They use the device I expect them to. They don't mysteriously set the…
rupa/z Being able to type something like "z ab g f" to reach a fairly deeply nested directory is almost akin to magic. I absolutely hate cd'ing everywhere, and often I'm cd'ing between the same couple of directories for…
A part of what makes the brain so special and capable is how it's able to structurally and functionally layer regions upon each other with their own specialized functions which all funnel their outputs up and down as…
This looks incredibly interesting. Going to give it a try.
I have no idea how anybody can look at TikTok with a straight face and not see that they're a threat. Maybe if you've conveniently closed your eyes to the CCP's behavior in the past, say, 10-20 years regarding corporate…
It makes me wonder. Is there enough research and sufficient good data to make evidence-based software engineering? It's not something that comes up much and whenever I do see research, it usually feels disconnected from…
I'm still mad about Campo Santo. I couldn't give two shits about Alyx or Half-Life or any other of Valve's games. But they had to consume one of the most promising story-focused indie studios and relegate them to making…
> This is wrong, misguided and naive. I'd appreciate it if you didn't jump straight to insults. > International trade when done with effective reciprocity and managing the trade deficit, can lead to competition on a…
I think the issue with comments is that they lose all temporal and situational context. You see a comment next to code, but you have no idea if it's actually still addressing that piece of code. How out of date is that…
People like to pretend that protectionism is such a bad thing. But Western nations built themselves through protectionism, it's something China has been doing to great success and the Asian tiger economies (primarily…
