Recommend me a programming language
  • Nothing I have done in my career has given me even close to the benefit I got from learning Haskell. I don’t get to use it professionally, but the patterns I learned to recognize in Haskell are everywhere.

  • New Theory Suggests Chatbots Can Understand Text
  • This is a really interesting train of thought!

    I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”

    Bro! What if consciousness isn’t real, and we’re just faking it

    brooooooo

  • 23andMe Blames Users for Recent Data Breach as It's Hit With Dozens of Lawsuits
  • I get asked to prove I’m making a legit login attempt all the time because it’s from a new IP address. 23andMe could have implemented something similar, and given the sensitive nature of the data they host and given how we all know that people can’t be trusted to have good password hygiene, I think they should have been required to do so.

    IMO this whole thing is just more proof that we need better regulation around how companies treat users’ private information.

  • Michael Dukakis tanks his presidential campaign, 1988
  • Was the payout actually from campaign funds? I thought the problem was that it wasnt and that the money needed to be reported as a campaign contribution because keeping it quiet was obviously for the benefit of the campaign.

  • Prime is adding ads to their streaming service
  • Home Depot prices were 5x the online retailers for the cat6 cabling. (Not an exaggeration. They wanted over $100 for 250ft vs the ~$35 I paid online.)

    Also, fuck Bernie Marcus, trumpist shithead. He doesn’t need my money.

  • Prime is adding ads to their streaming service
  • This is also a fair point, but it only takes a handful of one-day deliveries to “cover” the cost of prime with what most places are charging for fast shipping. And then that’s not including the many products I’ve never found a decent alternative seller for.

  • Prime is adding ads to their streaming service
  • I mean fine; you’re right. I could have sat on my thumbs for 5 days with no WiFi in my living room while I waited for someone else to send what I needed, but why should I have to? Is it completely impossible for a company to provide that convenience without also being a bag of dicks? (Or is that what you meant by regulation?)
