Hell yeah

Fresh out of baked beans.

I like how both of those facts are well known and thoroughly documented, yet millions of people support this guy.

I must remember this every time I read “think of the children!”

Nope. Mine was Aldi store brand both times.

The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment observed a particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from WIMPs, a dark matter candidate — but researchers will need more data to confirm.

This has happened to me twice.

I’m glad that opting out is available, but there is no practical, technical enforcement. Who is to say that they don’t collect the data anyway? Google is exactly the type of business to ask for forgiveness.

Seems lowering our standards has been in the news a lot lately.

All of a sudden? I’ve always known Russia to be a common source for torrent content, especially repacks.

No worries. They’ll just ship a development version to your machine and see what happens. That should be a good enough test.

It’s the same as speaking out against Facebook or TikTok practices but not supporting consumer protection.

It’s lip service! They don’t actually disagree with anything that Flock is doing. They’re hoping that dumb voters will confuse their concerns with Flock (getting caught) for their actual positions (dystopian surveillance state), something grossly unpopular if people actually voted.

I personally know plenty who are dumb enough to believe that these people have their interests at heart. It works, and that’s why they do it. Politicians see Flock as a sinking ship. They see an opportunity to deflect and distract from their own nefarious goals. Flock goes down in the medium-term while they wait with open arms for the next generation of tools that they will use to crush dissent and make you afraid to leave your own house.

Very cool. It’s hard to get into file system development because it’s a very small audience that’s willing to test, and it takes years to build trust. Administrators prefer boring and rock solid stability which is not typically conducive to innovation in this area.

Mega corporations are not meaningfully distinguished from the government. We should always assume common goals unless we have strong evidence to support otherwise.

Indeed. He’s secretive and staunchly anti-transparency.

He’s firmly in the pocket of corporatism.

Good point! Good point.

I’ve seen bubble sort implemented because we had data that said it was faster and was slightly smaller for the exact type data we were sorting and its expected distribution.

A great first step to combating the tide of stupid should include being able to call out dumbass questions.

It’s deeply concerning and tends to be a bad omen of atrocities to come.

Congratulations! You’ve won! 🥂 Enjoy your new cat.

It really depends on what you’re building. In an embedded shop, lookup tables are first class solutions to most problems. Computer scientists though, 100%!
