If you're a physio and you promise to mend people's scoliosis but cannot mend your own, you are a fraud. By all means, go get scammed. Go buy books and fall for the mythos and appeal to authority.

If the ideas doctors recommend worked, they would be employing them. And I don't want to hear about "busy family man" excuses. Would you ever go to a dentist with crooked teeth or a physio with scoliosis?

Doctors should lead by example. Get fit and start prescribing working, tried and tested methods. No reason to listen to a chubby doctor over a fit youtuber.

Books are free though?

There seems to be a wave of naturalistic acting in TV series nowadays. Actors who simply play out the script verbatim as if in pre-premiere. No idea when this started. I'm thinking of the new she-hulk series.

In an age of early access and pre-alphas, Rockstar could sell this as-is for $20. No shame here.

Ultras are a menace. They fight each other, throw flares or smoke grenades, and leave stickers everywhere.

If LWN disappears tomorrow, I'll get my news elsewhere. Thank you for your concerns.

Well that is within the context of young, impressionable, geopolitically and economically sheltered people expressing emotional views. So it's good that we don't enact these amendments on a whim

Oh like USA's endless amendment debates and "common sense X" acts?

Why are you so irrationally afraid of politics, specifically the Royal family? Did they form a child army, did they smuggle heroin, did they kick puppies?

They're not? So how come nuclear reactors keep ticking for decades while photovoltaic properties whither away, wind turbines are taken offline for maintenance, and hydropower plants are a geographic rarity? Most importantly, an NPP doe

All the nuclear reactors losing their cooling is less likely than global thermonuclear war. Actually, one nuclear reactor in the middle of war losing its cooling and going off is less likely than global thermonuclear war. Source: recent eve

It's nuclear or nothing at all. It's nuclear or upper middle class gets energy. It's nuclear or "stoneage-with-smartphones". It's nuclear or we need thousands of 24/7 on-call maintenance jobs for all the r

Why should most of the internet change their habits due to one website? Or a handful if you include Chan's.

There are no solid principles, times change and people change. Would it have made a difference if a month ago they forbade websites that dox people?

Yes and you only need two dishes of it to get a chicken breast's worth.

And there you go. Self driving cars won't take over because AI is as good as humans, rather because humans regress below AI.

Oh I'm sorry, did he rewrite the firmware and algorithms of a Roland synthesizer? Did he fork Blender and optimise the render pipeline? No, he made side projects that people don't use or want. Which is great, we all did it in coll

Literally none of that stands out. These are basic programs whose core anyone can find on stackoverflow. The reason most people don't have these on their github is because they move on to harder, long-term accomplishments like college

Nurture > nature. Bloodlines are an archaic form of currency since there's no influence/treasury/crown to inherit.

Most programmers I know don't fulfill all the above, so it's a great way to climb up a standard deviation or two. All programmers are within an order of magnitude in ability and productivity anyway, so you can't be a "su

Quit the industry and go into academia. Professional programming is slow and rarely innovative. Go forward with a PhD and post-doc, and do research on solving climate change via computers. Win a Turing award for groundbreaking language and
