Sorry I was snippy, I thought they were casting aspersions on the science inside the article due to the date, which is a pet peeve given anything biosciences related moves much more slowly than CS giv…

>Published in 2014. Yes, that is in the article. Anything you wish to add? Developments since then the article lacks?

>It's morally repugnant to blame someone for their own death from cancer like this. No, it's rude and weird to chastise someone for rightfully advocating treatment. He didn't state t…

But what is the "best outcome" when you have your house paid off and ample savings? He got ripped off by Jobs early on, but Jobs also let him do the work he wanted -- it's rare to have …

Thanks, the open course is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

>6 minutes is late for DB This is what I was getting at... they equated a ten minute delay in the same category as an hour plus... it was atomic, binary -- that's what I meant to get at in my …

Interesting. Are vim on the CLI and Vim the gui program two separate things? (I actually used "MacVim" on MacOS for basic note taking in class since I could alt tab to it, but tended to do a…

I thought the appeal of vi was it can mostly be used "as is" vs emacs being infinitely customizable? The folks I know who use vi do so because they are at their core, sysadmins, and somethin…

Must be nice, declaring any argument contrary to one's position "spurious nonsense" and darting off into the night. (A parody is a form of art.)

>I gave you a definition. You could start with that and highlight anything you disagree with. You did not define parody, you simply stated that "Creating fake nudes of people is not 'par…

>Creating fake nudes of people is not "parody". Parody says something, that's what gives it the artistic value we weigh above the targets desire to control their image. Fake nudes do…

What was that job?

On the other hand, Swift is a public figure, and with that comes parody -- I'd be more sympathetic if it was a private individual, but existing harassment and defamation laws could handle that mo…

They ran away.

I wrote a network security tool (if you can call a glorified shell script that) and it was used by script kiddies to harass people. It made me feel maybe magicians had something, when they decided som…

comedy option: visit as a tourist and show up in their office. I did this to someone who ripped off my master's thesis, word for word, as a side trek on holiday and it was like steam came out the…

Not only an industry, it can make you isolated an even drop out of a PhD if you're not part of it. I found myself subject to demonstrably false claims in paper reviews because I stood up for acad…

I got the impression they have a different cultural definition of "late" -- they'd get as mad about a 15 minute delay as folks in the states would get about an hour plus delay.

No longer? They were bitching and moaning when I visited fifteen years ago in my hostel. They got horrified when I told them they're coddled to be annoyed about 15 minute delays and spoke on how …

Does anyone have the canonical link and care to share?

I'm surprised DuckDuckGo doesn't offer to sponsor them, but maybe they lack the income to make an offer comparable to Google?
