Self published uncontroversial statements of fact about individuals or companies are permitted but they don't establish notability, which is the whole issue here. You need broad third party coverage to decide if you…
Amazon just ended support for older Kindles. Not sure how that's any different.
Virtual Threads aren't quite the same as green threads (they don't block the OS thread) and they work extremely well now.
Nice site, but missing the Law of Conservation of Misery.
> A lot of it was unfortunately organizational politics The hardest bugs in my experience are those where your only source of vital information is a third party who is straight-up lying to you.
My recollection is that before subreddits were a thing, Reddit was not that far off how this place is now.
On wikipedia: don't trust it blindly and always read the talk page.
The original is almost impossible to debug when something inevitably goes wrong too. I have encountered dozens of places where streaming API calls have been reworked into imperative by whoever ends up maintaining it…
One of the most prescient of the 20th dystopian novels was Fahrenheit 451. This was not about a totalitarian government burning books. This was about a population numbing themselves with bright colours, bland…
I first encountered this at SCEE in 2008.
A while ago, Google photos autogenerated a video for me from my photo library. It was about a minute long, stitched together dozens of photos, called "dog video", and with a horrifying yapping dog soundtrack. Every…
At a large organisation I worked at years ago we used to call it Coder Shopping - when a manager would do the rounds trying to find someone who would say "yes" in a situation like this. Invariably there would be someone…
My personal favourite was when my partner bought a book on breastfeeding through my account, and for weeks afterwards my recommendations were full of erotic novels.
Which was adopted by trolls as a "white power" sign, very much to muddy the waters as to what is or is not an intentionally racist gesture, and to have fun with the idea of offence and racism at the expense of anyone…
It isn't about ideology it is about ease and quality. Facebook is legendary for introducing breaking changes to their API without warning, for having terrible documentation, baroque and inconsistent APIs, flaky…
Having in the past crunched like mad on multiple titles, I will say that few things annoyed me more than non-essential people staying late and just messing around, eating the free pizza.
There is a difference between being willing to work at the current pay, and tolerating exploitative conditions out of fear of destitution. Which is where UBI comes in as the missing part of a liberal capitalist economy.…
A Wizard of Earthsea, and then The Tombs of Atuan. Then read the rest of the series, which are all good, it is just the first two are particularly wonderful.
But then both are just a kind of polygon, with an arbitrary number of sides of arbitrary length. At which point you really want a variable length list of Sides, each with a length property. Or you want a series of…
I would say it is far more of a process and managerial failure. That it was even possible is to me quite damning of project oversight, for allowing the system to get to that stage with such inadequate procedural and UI…

I didn't even know that there was an anti-Catholic element to it, until I went to Lewes one year. It was eye-opening. For example, the Cliffe bonfire society refused to join the main parade because it meant giving up…
Not to mention the anti - catholic bigotry that is still evident in some parts of the uk on bonfire night.
Requiring comments be attached to a real identity invariably does the exact opposite of what it intends to and lowers the quality of commentary. Sure, some people use the cloak of anonymity to perpetrate abuse,…
