There are still tons of games out there with gacha/loot box style elements, basically gambling for kids.

Funnily enough, if you're sorting small amounts of stuff it does not matter what algorithm you use. If fact your O(n log n) sorts are probably a lot slower on less than some millions of elements.

IMO it doesn't matter if your theft is a felony or misdemeanor, police should still patrol and try to pursue it. Cops, however, claim they are overworked and understaffed to do this. This is the "broken windows" theory- if yo

My biggest gripe is "all-hands" meetings that often run over an hour. I'm pretty sure it's just upper management stroking their egos. I have no power in the decisions that have been already made, and are then relayed in

A Shinkansen going from Boston to DC would be massively profitable. And I'm talking above 120mph. None of this 70mph "high speed" slow stuff.

Not trying to criticize the Forest Service, but is it politically feasible to cut down large amounts of trees in the right areas to prevent this?

As a software engineer, the fact that the elevators in the office don't have an up-peak mode in the morning and a down-peak mode at 5PM drives me up a wall.

I've experienced this firsthand. The company was acquired, which caused a lot of work to be assigned in order to bring us into compliance with government regulations. This resulted in thousands of man-hours of re-creation of build envi

Agreed 100%: it's a basic economic problem- climate change is a classic tragedy of the commons scenario, largely caused by fossil fuels being too cheap, with easy-to-dismiss externalities. Only political intervention (carbon taxes, gre

As far as I know, you're still on the hook for contractual payments, like most gym memberships and cell plans.

Walmart is also one of the few stores that interrogate you on the way out as to what you purchased. Just not a good look.

It's ridiculous that this is still an issue- cheap fiber optics have been around since the 80s. The blame rests on the ISPs for their monopolistic behavior.
