Not because health codes are a hard problem to solve, it's because the proprietors are lazy pieces of shit who make up their margin by storing their bleach next to their raw chicken.

I'd love to see a restaurant use that line. Food safety is hard!

Category theory doesn't make someone a better Java applications developer, which is EXACTLY why they should be learning it

I'm happy to take 'yes' for an answer.

On some glorious day, notorious vampire Peter Thiel will be hoisted by his own petard, find himself stranded in the sunlight, and turn into a column of ash.

In the meantime, this was an appropriate stance to take.

then let me clarify for you: don't say things that literally any HR department would summarily fire you for, don't make a public position of condoning sexual assault

Given Twitch is owned by Amazon, do they have the same cost considerations as the rest of us? Or do they get steeper discounts on EC2?

It makes sense to autoscale as hard as you like, if your cloud fees go back into your own pocket.

Heh. Reddit, huh?

. . . DID YOU MEAN 'false rape accusations' ?

You don't see my point? You're frustrated and defensive, and all I've done is address you by the wrong gender.

SICP, dearth of practical experience... MIT? Any case, you live in a daycare. Remember we're talking about someone incarcerated.

and I'm using 'lady' asexually. Is this triggering you?

You mean to tell me that set theory is too abstract, but full-adders and VHDL are right up his alley.

Sounds like a great opportunity to learn set theory, abstract algebra, number theory, linear algebra. You could get a working comprehension of cryptography or computer graphics. You could get a handle on category theory.

Those are topics that one could make progress on with only a pencil, paper, and the occasional phone call to a mentor.

I cannot imagine submitting punch cards and reading JavaScript stack traces by mail.

I was using "lady" asexually.

Would you care to share where you work, so I can mark it down as a nightmarish hellhole I should forever shun?

I agree with the lady who wrote this post.

Great product for people who want to film women in public, but not be noticed. Game changer

Funny, I can't recall any hacks of mine where the public ended up footing a $150,000 ER bill to save my kidneys or my liver.

Real computers are finite state machines, not Turing machines.

Based on loose and generous extrapolations of my current mindset, I will be very impressed.

Integration with Domino's Pizza is a real win. If you're eating two to three deliveries a day, those few minutes of friction are costing you hours a year, never mind the overhead of the mental context switch. Buying this product is, in effect, adding quality years to your lifespan.

> Until a court has convicted Appelbaum of the crime of rape, he is not a rapist.

Let's be clear that there's a vast difference between "a court has not convicted him of that crime" vs "he did not commit that crime". A statement can be factually true, even if you can't prove it in court and thereby you lack a legal defense against defamation.

Legally, I'm defaming Al Capone right now, because was into racketeering. It might be unwise to say that, as it would open me to prosecution, but it's certainly not untrue for that reason. (I've thoughtfully considered the risk, and will accept any libel charges from his estate.)

In any case, were Al Capone still alive, you would have to be a complete idiot to treat him as anything but a gangster. Feel free to extend the analogy on your own, and conclude what you will about the public figures in tech who face several rape accusations.
