I told my wife that we should consider being farmers in the future. She said we'd starve to death. Can't figure out if I agree with her.

Even so, my regret over buying an M2 Pro just before the M3 was released decreases each day. In fact, it might start going negative such that I’m happy to have bought the M2.

They have to. I remember my family paying $2000 CAD for a 15" LCD monitor in the 90s. That monitor was crap, looking back at it, but it was state of the art. Electronics always go down in price over time, the question is how long is th

I got a new M2 Pro 16" just a few weeks ago. I was pissed when I discovered that a new M3 Pro was coming out. Reading all the comments here, I feel a bit better.

I suppose the interesting question is whether this is true of the newest devices or not. My wife's MacBook Pro lasted 11 years. It finally died this year. Can I expect the MacBook Pro that's replacing it to last 11 years too? Only

I think it's as simple as they have a ton of cash and they don't know what to do with it. This is well-documented. So they're just trying to put it to work. If it works, they get exclusive content that acts to strengthen the

Academics in general can be rude and condescending if you look up all the stories on the phd subreddit about the experiences of phd students with their supervisors. There are lots of stories of academia being a toxic workplace. I would pres

Well, I suppose the question then would be getting buy-in from leadership. That’s a completely different force to change and is complex for its own reasons.

I think this perspective is easier when one is single, certainly not married, and CERTAINLY without kids. Before I was married, I'd be annoyed if married friends weren't as free-spirited as I was in terms of hanging out late. Even

For both parent and GP comments, would this not simply be explained by the quality of the engineers and engineering culture working on the tooling? I'm sure that Google today are perfectly happy that they did not build on Oracle, but t

You have completely missed my point and I am not sure how to get you to see it. My point is that you did not respond to what someone has said, you ignored it and went on your own tangent. And you did it again.

The interesting question is if passive voice is so bad, how did it come about in the English language and why did it survive? That directly contradicts a lot of this advice. Though I try to use primarily active voice because it helps me sav

I presume this is a joke. Languages evolve over time (centuries in the case of English), there are very few examples of designed languages. English is especially complicated because it emerges from a melting pot of germanic, Latin, Greek, F

Writing tips in OP seem great for certain types of nonfiction writing. Are the most prominent works of Hemingway and Nabokov (and Carver) fiction or nonfiction? Why are we treating fiction and nonfiction writing styles as having similar goa

GP was speaking about the problems with carbon offsets today. You're talking about the need to decarbonize without acknowledging or addressing the points that GP made. Most are not stupid enough to say that we should set down "the

False positive punishment is more common than one would think. It's fine to ban accounts for alleged fraudulent activity. The question is why isn't there a path for recourse when you're only a false positive? And... can I ple

Having now looked up what the word priapism means, I'm now trying to imagine what moral priapism would be, and I can't think of a definition that makes sense. What is it? Is there a simpler word you can use?

I attended a lecture where the point was made that AI is just a name for whatever is the frontier of technology. At one point, barcode scanners were apparently called AI because it was this amazing development that would allow computers to

This is an interesting comment. I once took an exchange course at Oxford regarding the history of business. One of the professor's lectures was on innovative edge and the issues it brings. He brought up various examples in history, but

I'm fascinated by stories of lost data. I wonder what is it that we're really losing? I can't tell, but there must be something. I lost my USB drive that had years of files on it last year. I don't even know what I lost

Interestingly enough, it's the a-holes that seem to be getting the most credit and rewards in recent years. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, all the populist elected heads of state, etc. The kind people seem to be the losers in recent history. W

Sure, but there are SOME that aren't selling snake oil. I'm invested in one of them. But yeah, most are. I guess the interesting question for me is how long does it take for the real wheat to stand out from the chaff.

This emphasizes how much you need to know before you even get into a program. If you don't know that much, you NEED those classes to just catch up to your peers as to understanding what the world even says about various things at a fou
