It is if all your customers are in the US.

It’s totally reasonable to assume your users are in the US if your business only sells to people in the US. I work in the health insurance sector; there’s absolutely no chance my company ever sells these products internationally. We can’t e

The other thing making JavaScript a little better in practice is that it very rarely was used on the back end until Node.js came along, and by then, we were fully in the AJAX world, where people were making AJAX requests using JavaScript in

It's a strong case for loose coupling, but that can be achieved with object oriented programming, functional programming, or any number of other paradigms.

On the other hand, imagine if you had to go through your car insurance every time you had your oil changed or your tires rotated (going for an annual wellness check). Or worse, every time you had to fill up your gas tank (picking up a regul

Overall, the incidence of cancer in the US among people under the age of 50 rose from 95.6 per 100,000 to 103.8 from 2000 to 2021.[ Colon cancer is one of the biggest drivers, but there are also a few others like kidney and thyroid that hav

That’s only true if it’s actually a cancer that’s going to spread. Certain things like benign prostate cancer are often not worth treating. Testing everyone for everything leads to overtreatment and anxiety and worse quality of life.

Sure, but most people are by definition not high risk.

None of those things are necessary most of the time, and they’re usually just going to make you paranoid. It’s why doctors don’t generally like to do full-body scans on healthy people: they’re rarely going to find anything clinically signif

I agree with you on Markdown tables. They're pretty horrendous to write by hand. I wonder if there's an alternative that would be easier? Maybe something that's essentially a CSV embedded in a Markdown file? I'm sure CSV

Docker Compose is a super easy way to run Postgres, Redis, etc. alongside your tests, and most CI platforms can either use a Compose file directly or have a similar way of running service containers alongside your tests. Example: https:&#x

The problem is not with opinionated engineers. (Almost every engineer I know is opinionated; the ones who are not tend not to be very good.) The problem is with engineers who are excessively opinionated about the wrong things. Having opinio

That's a great point. If your experimental methodology is flawed, it doesn't matter how big your sample size is. A study like this lets you gather some compelling evidence that you may have a real effect. Then you can refine the t

That’s true of most neuroimaging studies. Have you ever tried to get a bunch of people into an MRI for a study? Not easy, not cheap. Like they said, the effect size is large. With a large enough difference, you can distinguish the effect fr

Other than pricing and any anti-competitive deals or collusion that DOJ digs up, CUDA seems like the obvious place you would attack by forcing Nvidia to open it up. But I don't know if that's likely to be an angle the government w

This is not true. Sure, humans can lie or get things wrong. But normal people will also admit when they don't know something. LLMs tend not to admit when they don't know something, and they use an authoritative voice that sounds l

I suspect that such a move would draw significant scrutiny from regulators, potentially far outweighing any impacts from users switching browsers on their own.

I can ask ChatGPT to write code and assess myself whether it's correct or not. (It's frequently not, but it can still be useful for certain tasks.) I can ask it to explain something about the industry I work in or adjacent fields

Thank you for sharing that. I’m not going to address every example in your comment, and I agree that there are many ways society could be more accommodating. But I also think that not every difference can be accommodated in every situation,

You don’t even have to go to the extreme end. Ask people with milder presentations, and they’ll be able to tell you about all sorts of confusing interactions and frustrating situations they’ve experienced that wouldn’t have happened if they
