  1. old, but gold on Apple Should Stop Selling Four-Year-Old Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    i still i own and use on a daily basis an iMac from 2011. It's still a great computer, and beyond a planned RAM upgrade, there isn't a thing i would change on it

  2. if only life was this easy on Wikipedia Editor Says Site's Toxic Community Has Him Contemplating Suicide (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    lots of comments here are saying 'get a life', 'get out', 'stay away from them if they make you miserable'
    if only life was this easy
    'get out' of the place you have been dedicating a lot of work
    'get a life' when life and internet are something mixed up together now, and the people you most speak with are the one part of the community you are supposed to leave
    'stay away from them if they make you miserable' and ignore all the ones that make your life brighter
    i was part of a wiki community (UrbanDead Wiki), and it was a toxic environment at times. There were several occasions were i felt bad about what was happening there, and left it for a while, only to return a few weeks later and resume my work there. In other occasions, i prolly was the toxic guy, which helped drive some users away from it. Its insane, and full of Drama, and reflects the same kind of toxicity that i noticed on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia communities. Its not part of the code, but its something embedded on it like a curse.

  3. given how little detail we can see from it, one can only wonder it - if its in fact a UFO - is miles away from the space station, and therefore it should be HUGE! bigger than the space station
    therefore, people would've been able to see it from the ground

  5. i just had a WOW moment reading this post. Yesterday I used the account kit login to order some pizza and i was wondering what was that. Looks like iFood was quick to implement it. Kuddos for them.

  6. i once created a backend application from scratch, everything homebrew
    it was easy to mantain, it was easy to improve, the code was as human readable as the abc
    sadly, there were some gotchas : i had to follow some management decisions, the backend didn't validated some features of the application which were to be validated only on the frontend
    months later, , a new manager comes in and berates me for the lack of validation of said features, the manager who told me not to said that if the backend wasn't "subpar" it would have been validating it
    i quit the same day

    ps. there were other reasons for me to quit, the 'subpar' comment was the last straw

  7. i think i need to get my eyes checked

    the law exists for a long long time already, its not something Dilma created
    and she is also going to be investigated on accusations that she tried to disrupt the investigations

    and i am not arguing if due process was followed or not
    i am questioning whatever is written on instuto lula's article, cuz it might be full of lies created to discredit the investigation
    the institute also critized how Lula was brought to justice to be interrogated, but it failed to highlight the fact the he was asked to come to justice several times before and he kept presenting excuses not to

    i for one would love to see due process being followed
    but when the people being investigated are the one who control the due process, and you are dealing with stuff that is so fragile as digital data, due process becomes a luxury which you shouldn't expect to last

    if it were only Rede Globo broadcasting it, i might give you some reason to doubt that. But there isn't a single news outlet that is covering this situation in the same way. So, yeah...

  13. biased article on In Brazil, Police Overstep Court Order To Sieze Former President's Email · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The article, written and hosted by instituto lula itself, should be taken with a grain of salt The institute is already under investigation because of massive cases corruption.
    Also, someone leaked that the police would be seizing the institute, and they emptied it from most of its documents. Its like watergate in here, and the judge presiding the investigation has a lot of popular support because he is finally going for people which seemed to be untouchable in the past.
