I don't think this argument is logically sound. Your eating habits are something that you personally have fairly high control over and can change with reasonable ease/effort. Society at large does not have the same characteristics

This is simply not true? Or maybe I misunderstand what you mean?

I don't know if there's a way to say this without coming off as rude, but if the hardest thing you can come up with is podcast hosting, then maybe you didn't spend too much time thinking about hard things? If it works for you

Emdashes don't really tell you much anything these days tbh. Many languages use them regularly and those people often bring the habit with them when they write in English — me included. Plus I would imagine every major model has tuned

In broad strokes, learning leads to better life outcomes just like brushing your teeth leads to better health outcomes, or any other example you may prefer. Brushing teeth is a chore so a child won't generally pick it up all by themsel

Showing up in search results, or in this day and age LLM results, is still king. If your famous product is known as the ESP32, it doesn't hurt sales to spin other products off the same line. It might hurt clarity, glance value and many

Nearly every manufacturer does this though? It's often simply done in such a sleek way that customers don't even know it's there.

You would think so, at the same time we live in a world where the £80 million Louvre heist was made possible by the fact that their surveillance system's password was "Louvre" [0]. [0] https://www.independent.co.uk

As with anything in medicine, if it was that straightforward, someone would've already discovered that right now. Human physiology (and biology in general) is such a messy field that the simple act of using isolated facts very rarely g

To be fair, personally I wouldn't think much of the law enforcement ones. We used to have a department for that at one of my previous gigs and it's mostly just uploading files and making sure the contacts line up with official con

Because the production environment might be a completely different architecture, these details matter a lot. Works on my machine is not useful if your actual target is a small embedded system on top of a cell tower in the middle of nowhere.

The upper limit does not mean that water actually has that amount in it regularly.

Was the sense of wackiness wrong though? Nearly all UFO claims went away once high quality cameras in smartphones became ubiquitous. It's useful to play around with ideas, yes, but it's also important to acknowledge that some idea

I don't think this argument holds much water. Each state in the US has their own legislation and taxes and it works just fine.

Isn't the answer to both questions straightforward? Real life is complex and has nearly infinite degrees of freedom. This means it's hard to approximate in software. Over time, real life, your understanding of it and your approxim

I worked in the FOSS space for roughly half a decade. Comments like this are easy to make and also add absolutely no value whatsoever. If you actually feel strongly about it, do the work yourself, no one is stopping you.

If someone gives you a nonsense URL, the correct response is 404, not to try and guess what they could've maybe meant.

by Etheryte 6mo ago
Not sure I agree. The correct thing is to not mess with the URL at all if you're unsure about what to be doing to it. Doing nothing is the easiest thing of them all, why not do that?

The whole world can't migrate all of their hardware on a whim. There was a period of time when it was a very common quip to say that Amazon would have to buy every new IPv6 compatible router in the world for a year if they wanted to up

Predictability matters. The whole point of paying someone else to handle a problem for you is that you don't have to worry about it. If you go all in on a provider and then suddenly find out that you've been switched to a paid pla

The truth is most apps have no business having a menubar icon, but many of them cannot even be disabled out of the box. There's a number of third-party tools that help with the issue, but really this should be handled at the OS level.

Whenever you combine two things into one, the complexity and cost go up considerably. A regular coffee machine is pretty cheap. Add high pressure so it can make espresso and it gets considerably more expensive. Add milk so it can make cappu

The US could make homelessness a thing of the past with a minuscule fraction of what it is spending on the military. It is very much a choice.
