In Australia, public schools consistently outperform private schools, despite having less money. If you want to spend thousands to send your child to a private school, so that they get a mediocre, spoon fed education, with superfluous &#x27

I revisited this series recently and was even more disappointed than the first time I watched it. That sandwich should have been DELICIOUS. Instead it sounded very ordinary. You would think that if you were going to that much effort, you co

You're generalizing too far I think. Yes, a lot of recipes have fluff that doesn't add anything. But some don't, some have crucial information that helps you understand techniques, ingredients or thought processes. If you use

Sure, people who just need a rough recipe will be fine. But most people don't fall into this category. And more importantly, lots of people really _think_ they fall into a category where they don't need recipes to "cook well&

I'm on your side. I need the author of a recipe to explain why their recipe is interesting, different, or better than others. And I need that to match with my own culinary reasoning and knowledge. Otherwise it's likely to be bland

This is why most people's cooking sucks. It's not that recipes with meandering SEO tales necessarily have better recipes. It's that recipes without any explanation usually suck. If you pick something with a meandering SEO tal

This is kind of where grand parent's thesis (that the paper is in fact novel and useful) falls down. I'd be stunned if the concept of integrating an unknown function that needs to be guessed based on measurements taken at irregula

> Costs at most $35 Well there's your problem. Where is that $35 heading? For a $35 transaction fee, I'd expect my money to arrive instantly and to work reliably. Sounds like that's pretty far from the truth. I'm sure

If you're viewing everything through a rational and sterile lens (and probably, a privileged lens), it makes a huge deal of sense to just avoid "contentious" terms. It's no skin off your back, and it makes it more likely

Your argument makes sense, except this is somebody who published a game that almost nobody knows about. You're assuming the worst case scenario (that finding this person leads to huge amounts of harassment), when the likelihood of that

> no one is forcing women out of the tech industry Nobody said that. They never end up in the tech industry to begin with, because they're either dissuaded in high school, or they start and then leave because it's such a male-d

IMO this is part of your job, and not something to be done on weekends. I had a manager that would set time aside on Friday afternoons to write some code or play with new tech, worked well for him.

Serious question: why? It's a buzzword for sure, but there are billions of dollars being invested in real companies with real customers solving real problems that all would identify as cloud native. All it means is 'we existed aft

Apologising and distancing yourself both work quite well. People are usually too proud to do either.

It's reeeeallly easy to avoid guilt by association. You just say 'no, I don't agree with Mr white supremacist'.

This is a good question. I think there are a number of things to think about. * Are your docs organised in such a way that it's easy to find what you're looking for? Do you have search? Does the search work for people? Do you have

Have they? The Apple Watch is selling well now after a few iterations. Have any other products launched that have sold well? M1 looks good, but it's on the back of several years of lackluster laptops and things nobody wants like the to

Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. The only people that are 'frightened' by equality are those that have historically benefited from the lack of equality.

I don't want to malign the transporters in your business, but the chance that they actually meaningfully understand the nuance of this is slim to none. This is a trust problem. Either people trust you, or they don't. You've a

As an Aussie, that would be great. Doesn't feel like it's going to happen in Australia, we're still addicted to digging things out of the ground.

Do you want a cynical answer? Because a lot of the types of misinformation that are being spread from abroad (conspiracy theories and dangerous anti-science information) are equally generated and spread from within the country, and by elect

I'll spell it out explicitly, since nobody else has. In a semantic sense, deregulation is the same thing as removing laws. De = remove, regulation = regulation. But what de-regulation really means is "the reduction or elimination

That's purely semantics, and everyone knows it.

In the same vein, justice isn't being done any favours by pretending that 'embarassing the US' isn't the real reason why he's on trial.

I'd love to have other sources to read. Unfortunately it seems like there aren't any, because nobody is being allowed to sit in the gallery on this pretty important case. Huge red flag right there.

Ooooh nice! When I saw the title I was hoping this is what it would be. I'd dreamed of building something like this, but never had the time or the buy in. Aside from making it easy to generate k8s manifests, this could also be a great

I'm an enthusiastic home cook. A friend of mine has a subscription and let me watch one of the cooking masterclasses from Massimo Bottura. The quality is pretty garbage. You're getting a very surface level look into a smattering o
