Re:Ableton Extensions SDK on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @05:57PM (#48390702)
This is great to see. Not widely known, but it's already been possible to write Python extensions for Ableton using the LOM, which I was doing via ClyphXPro. But this looks easier!
Whether or not positive and negative sterotypes are used are kind of besides the point, its the fact that a stereotype was used at all. Let me give an example, if you say im a jew so I have money, os that negative or positive? Even if you think its positive, the fact that the stereotype is validated implies that other stereotypes are true.

Now this particular joke is pretty tame, certainly. If he wanted to he could have add the qualifier " more talking, bringing more perspectives to the table" or something. But the way he said it could have been interpreted as a stereotype, and therefore is problematic

Wow this is so useful for um security
Re:Code boilerplate: Is it always bad? on Saturday June 10, 2017 @01:02AM (#14526234)
I assumed the title was about boilerplate in terms of some skeleton or framework you download. Turns out this is different from what youre talking about (verbosity). Its interesting that even in programming jargon we have two uses for the same term. They are not totally separate though. The repetitive, DRY violations eventually get abstracted into a framework, at which point the boilerplate becomes ok. And if its still too verbose, than another boiler may arose to encompass it.
Also a fucking shitload safer
Re:Ask HN: What linux distro should I start with? on Monday May 29, 2017 @02:14AM (#14437662)
Ubuntu.
I know one building in particular that may be problematic. It also happens to be sinking.
Being obvious here, but what about pot? Have personally done mushrooms 5 or so times. and while it can be pretty casual with a small dose, it easily gets into the realm of somewhat-spiritual meta-thinking (after a few of these experiences I didnt much desire them anymore) . Similar to LSD in this regard, and probably not the best thing to mix with alcohol.
This is funny but dont get cocky because STEM is not immune. Think about abstract design patterns or something

Re:Reddit is introducing User Profiles on Thursday May 18, 2017 @12:56AM (#14364905)
I could see this leading to more youtube style personalities on reddit, even stuff like streams could find a place on their user profile.

Re:The next big blue collar job is coding on Thursday February 09, 2017 @02:08AM (#13605246)
I found the statistic interesting that for 11 jobs there were 950 applicants. How does this sort of competition compare to traditoonally blue collar jobs?
