It isn’t a zero sum game. It’s possible for all students to get As and for that to still be a meaningful measurement of skill. Grades don’t show your ability relative to others, they show your mastery of a set of…
Perlmutter reportedly said audiences wouldn't notice a replacement actor because "black people look the same," and was a major blocker to woman-led superhero movies because he thought they couldn't sell.
The apartment analogy doesn't quite work, as the scanning only happened with photos that were going to be uploaded to iCloud. It wasn't like constantly monitoring your private residence, more like setting up a…
I have a vague childhood memory of looking through a large illustrated book about spaceships in our public library and being in awe. When I came back on another trip, it was gone. I never knew the name or author, but…
What’s vile here? The art looks unique, detailed, and dynamic.
They're saying neither; they're saying that politics is inextricable from life, and that work is part of life. You can't extract politics from work any more than you can extract personal life from work. People aren't…
I can confirm that in Thunderbird 102 on Windows 11, you can use View -> Font Size via the menu. It changes all UI font sizes I could find. I don't remember if this setting existed in the 9x releases. The default is…
You think that China, famous for it's nationwide firewall, will provide open solutions?
> I ran Rails in production years back and swore it off then. We had constant memory leaks that seemingly came from Rails itself, and the only solution we had was "just restart the server." This hasn't been a serious…
How do you celebrate one’s accomplishments while ignoring one’s behavior in the process of making those accomplishments? Or rather, is it actually too nuanced to think the ends don’t justify the means?
I don't understand your point here. In literally all these scenarios, you would still be billed, and it would be appropriate.
> What is it that you FAANG developers do that is so much more complex than what regular developers do? A meager defense follows. I've worked both "midwest design shop" and FAANG-adjacent jobs, from junior to staff to…
Is this sarcasm? Population controls are a massive change to quality of life for most people.

For what it’s worth, the 2->3 update was by far the most consequential; they merged in Merb, rewrote how routes and controllers worked, and completely flipped expectations on how JS and views should work. Rails 3->6 has…
You still need SREs for using cloud services at large scale, and they can manage more cloud infrastructure per person than if it was colocated
Unfortunately, the newest models do not have optical audio out, only HDMI.
I don’t think that’s an accurate translation at all! Skinning a cat is not a common thing. It’s not a normal food for English speakers, so the phrase carries some sense that what you’re doing is unusual. It’s usually…
Along with iOS 12, Apple released a new app called Shortcuts. It is not preinstalled as far as I know. I think they got it via acquisition. There’s a bunch of new hooks that app makers can/must use to integrate with it,…
What you’re talking about is already happening with podcasts. A group of players get together, record their session, and publish. The bills are paid via advertising, donations, and sponsorships. The two most promenant…

In React / Javascript land, isomorphism means, "the same code is used to render on the server and in the browser"
Not only that, but they did it a second time with Captain America: Winter Soldier.

This looks pretty neat. Looking forward to you getting the disabled features ironed out. Some notes: * Project generation with most of the features and a couple models is taking a really long time. I'm sure it's a…
