Anything that challenges the status quo is inevitably going to make some people uncomfortable.

The only parts of this video that are relevant to piracy are: 1) does it prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic (it does), and 2) can you trust a VPN when they say they have a “no logging” policy (depends on the VPN but IMO there are several that can be trusted). The rest is just debunking false marketing claims about how VPNs improve your security or whatever.

I’ve always felt that pair programming is more useful on early stages of a task, where there is enough doubt about implementation details and discussing them is worth.

Is pair programming the right way to address unknowns around implementation? It seems like a brainstorming / whiteboarding session might be a better fit.

“The research has been very clear that cursive writing is a critical life skill in helping young people to express more substantively, to think more critically, and ultimately, to express more authentically,” he said in an interview.

What research? This sounds pretty far fetched to me.

SEO and propaganda / misinformation campaigns

It really is. And now I’m excited to see how Rick & Morty does it.

What is interesting or helpful is entirely subjective

Nothing is entirely subjective, at least not in the sense that you mean.

There are different degrees of shared opinion (“inter-subjectivity”) among people, depending on the group. One of the advantages of the “communities” (or “subreddit” / “magazines”) model is that you can find people with whom you share opinions, and if that community doesn’t already exist, you can create it.

By joining a community that shares your interests, and customizing your feed to show those communities, content that gets upvoted will tend to reflect your interests, and upvotes will be a signal of quality.

People have limited time. By having an algorithm that can sort by likes / dislikes, everyone saves time by delegating some of the time-consuming task of discovering relevant content to the algorithm.

At the end of the day arguments for or against a particular solution are going to depend on what threats a person considers most important to protect against and where they’re willing to put their trust.

I use GitHub Desktop for 95% of my git needs, terminal for the other 5%

This is epic level malicious compliance. Best way to run a SFW sub into the ground is opening it up to NSFW content.

Slow for me as well (North America). It can take 10-15 seconds to load a page or perform an action like upvoting.
