In a pandemic, we make weird friends. I much prefer some pro conservative anti abortion org asking for less censorship than a dozen woke newspapers and rumor mills calling me a fascist or antivaxxer because I don't…
Just because Wikipedia says it, doesn't mean it's widely known or accurate. Labeling things as denialism is itself a common trick in misinformation. It flattens whatever the original argument was. There is a common…
I had the same impression. Kory vs his detractors gives me a persistent sense of street-smart vs book-smart. The same kind of thing that made some people realize that lying about masks early on in the pandemic was an…
The real generational divide is people who feel this post in their bones and people who will nitpick at it because it's not in fact an unbiased survey. The point about focus is very true. The socialization of…
Speak for yourself. The rest of the world mostly did not look, because the American media refused to objectively cover those protests. I only know about it but following local independent outlets in Portland.
Which of these principles demands you let a cabal of intersectionalists flag their enemies off the front page? Just curious where the intellectual curiosity and lack of reflexiveness comes in. I ask because if there's…
If you truly believe abortion is wrong but is better than the alternative of bringing unwanted children into the world, then you should also support fathers having the right to opt out from supporting a child they…
Your attempt at couching your comment in disclaimers is hilarious. You don't just give supremacists ammunition, you make everyone laugh at the absurdity. "Part of the culture" is bad... And "correlated with the culture"…
It also allows for plausible deniability to surgically remove certain viewpoints without anyone noticing. This is not an acceptable trade off if you value freedom of expression and have an understanding of how bad…
This very site does the same, and is proud of it.
The more you do the more they will rely on you. But this is on contributors too. They start out hanging out in their clubhouse, working on their hobby, and people join in. Then a few years pass and you realize your chat…
Women were not pushed out of CS or discouraged. Just go look at the evolution of degrees by gender and pay close attention to the absolute, not relative numbers. What happened is that as personal computing took off in…
Every time people breathlessly relate the tale of Cambridge Analytica as the day privacy died, you should know they have no clue. Because the Obama campaign built the exact same kind of dataset, using the same APIs,…
They are academics, so likely, no. Notoriously bad at actually accomplishing something with real world constraints, an actual timeline, and customer requirements.
Rule of thumb: You should only include code that you could write yourself if you took the time. Otherwise you don't understand your own software.
I hate tutorials that don't explain you how something is actually implemented in the framework, as if you don't need to know your own tools. I'm inferring suspense is based on exceptions to interrupt unrenderable…
I wonder how much of this is actually about Adblockers... vs Googlers just wanting to make some performance numbers go up in aggregate to make their own internal company stats better. Cos sure as hell no user is waiting…
Yes, it is the dumbest thing ever, and demonstrates they've forgotten what Exposé was all about and what the innovation was. Instead of showing you labels or icons in a task switcher, they just showed you all your…
Everyone should be spamming the hell out of Apple's feedback form if they: - have 32-bit apps or games that won't be updated - don't think there is anything worthwhile to upgrade for - don't need mismatched marzipan iOS…
"Past time" The only thing that's past time is that more people start to realize the real bullies and harassers are the ones who post medium posts saying "Remove $person"... in which they misrepresent or outright lie,…
As opposed to shifting responsibility from the people who command the work to those doing it? Is that not an equal denial of agency? OP has it right. They want the engineers to talk ethics because engineers are the new…
I wasn't aware they weren't talking about it. Are you sure you're not just confused? You may be thinking of some impostors instead of engineers. There's a lot these days.
If gender studies had a consistent purpose, we would understand gender better after decades of it, not worse. Men and women are at each other's throats, because gender studies started by giving bitchy women undeserved…
Perhaps. Or maybe freelance artists are frustrated working with someone who doesn't seem to understand what they like to see in good work, and what gives them a sense of satisfaction in a product they have worked on. I…
Yeah and because art has vastly different constraints from coding, wanting to swap out artists is just counterproductive. Then again, the older I get, the more I think the same should apply to developers. You should…
