Soon--like sooner than we want--no code will be the norm. AI is going to expand the field significantly.

I get the opposite effect. Instead of reading each word, I start reading the parts of the word which is not normally how I read. It's very jarring.

Often times I read the code instead of the documentation. Why? It's faster, but more importantly the documentation says what should happen. The code says what does.

Every state I have lived in has had a land value tax: you are assessed on the building and on the land and you pay tax on both.

Ironically it's the wavelengths at sunrise which have the greatest affect. If teenagers are sleeping in they don't get to see these: > Researchers said the wavelengths at sunrise and sunset have the biggest impact to brain cent

I'm not arguing that the sun isn't good for you or that bright lights don't make you feel of more awake. Of course they do. My argument is that you can override this with good sleep hygiene, which teenagers don't have. Y

Of course they will right away. Then after a year or two it will be the same problem again. Changing the number on the clock to get more sleep is like taking out a loan to pay down your debt: sure you will be able to pay off your housing an

Except it doesn't. Anyone who has traveled more than one time zone away knows this.

Tell me: If you go to bed at 11pm and wake up at 7am every day, and then change time zones, do you magically go to bed at the new 11pm and wake up at the new 7am? No, of course not. Because the times you get tired and wake up have nothing t

The other thing is responsibility. Tech jobs generally don't have set times to be in. But most jobs do. Teaching teenagers responsibility (to go to sleep on time and wake up on time) is an important skill to have.

The sun rises between 5am and 7am where I live. But anyone who has flown between the East Coast and West Coast of the US knows that the sun doesn't determine when you feel tired or when you wake up: your sleep hygiene does. I used to f

From the article: > Adolescents in the U.S. are chronically sleep-deprived, in part because most schools start too early. The goal of changing the start time is to allow students to sleep more. But changing the number on the clock doesn&

This is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Just like daylight saving time. You can't make teenagers sleep more by changing the number on the clock.

I have doubts these numbers are real. As someone who works for one of these companies and has seen the averages, these numbers seem way high.

What is strange is the article stated this only held true for white people.

I looked at Amica for car and renters insurance. They were 4x the price of everyone else. They wanted me to pay $3000/6 months for car insurance whereas progressive was $650.

You can hold your phone with one hand vertically. People like that and naturally record video vertically and like to watch video vertically.

Yikes. Maybe if we didn't "defund the police" and treat them like guilty criminals, we wouldn't be in this problem.

No: I never use a calculator and never need to do calculations. If I do, I use Google Sheets or Google search. Just doing a Google search with an equation is generally enough.

What's amazing is they were even able to determine race "even from corrupted, cropped, and noised medical images, often when clinical experts cannot" and after accounting for differences in body-mass index, disease distributi
