  • As a non-sciencey person, can someone explain the chasm of ignorance?

  • I don't usually find myself agreeing with Danielle Smith but I certainly support this initiative. There are many things to criticize her about, but I don't think this is one of them.

    Edit: this feels like a weird piece for the CBC to put out.

  • To be fair, you originally brought up Israel/Palestine in your initial post.

  • Hold up, let me just make up some numbers real quick to prove how wrong you are!

  • Seems like a shame to lose the window access too!

  • I know nothing about 3D printing—is there a benefit to putting this thing in front of the window?

  • Their post history indicates a clinical obsession with... being an asshole about shit that doesn't matter.

  • Sure, but you should still have a conversation to set expectations with that individual beforehand.

    If you hire someone who's incompetent, allow them to believe they're performing well, and then fire them when it's easy for you—well, that would just make you an asshole.

  • What a title.

    The words that come next will shock you!

  • The spice must flow.

  • Technically not misogyny—just good ol’ fashioned objectification.

  • Can you please explain this idea—I’ve not heard it before? And who, specifically, has designed and implemented this?

  • Some people are desperate for employment.

  • Why? Those are just abstractions. Why do you get to decide at which level of abstraction is the baseline for a person to use a computer?

    Especially considering most computer users are operating at a higher level of abstraction (i.e. phones/tablets).

    You are not the average computer user anymore.

  • Conflating two concepts can be funny (e.g. puns) but this isn’t that. “Dereferencing a movie ” has no meaning outside of manual memory management.

    I understand humour is subjective but some jokes aren’t as strong as others (and some jokes aren’t jokes at all).

  • I personally don’t find it funny because these types of jokes essentially boil down to “I used a concept outside of its context, and for that reason alone it is funny”. However, with a lot of these jokes the context is so narrow (i.e. programming) that they are almost universally not understood by wider audiences.
