The Up Series[0]. It's a series that follows a group from children from age 7 through old age, and it's still going (in theory - the creator died last year). Seeing entire lives compressed into a few hours was very impactful to me

> Why is it... Because it's more exciting to punish Bad People for doing Bad Things than it is to create systems where the Bad People don't want or need to do Bad Things as much.

My very first tasks as a new software developer were to revamp some legacy installers created with Installshield. It made me think that I chose the wrong career path. Just about everything I've worked on since then feels easy and painl

Absolutely, that's actually what exactly what I use it for. The only time it can be a little wonky is when RDP'ing to remote servers. #SingleInstance force if not A_IsAdmin Run \*RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" ; L

I'd argue that the more you're stimulated, the greater your need for stimulation becomes.

Aziz Ansari? I mean, he's sort of back but I think it's safe to say his career was stopped in its tracks and lost its momentum.

My experience is that that option becomes re-enabled pretty often, even when I'm logged in and on the same device. It should be an account-wide option that's preserved and respected across all devices.

So by your logic, everything that doesn't literally exist (laws, businesses, emotions, software, governments, money, etc.) are all things that can't be measured or improved?

I've always liked Ben Franklin's thoughts on this topic: "It is true that, if you can clamber and get to the top of a staircase without using the steps, you will more easily gain them in descending; but certainly, if you begi

I was going off the Webster definitions of these words, which do not make this distinction in their antonyms. They both seem to be the opposite of simple. The opposite of easy would be "hard" or "difficult". I understand

I agree with your premise but I don't think you're using the correct terms here. "Complex" and "complicated" are synonyms as far as I can tell. What you're describing sounds like "essential complexity

Maybe I misunderstood GP. I thought by "people who already wanted to cancel plans" he meant people that didn't want to visit for reasons unrelated to the virus.

> Android is the hardest to do this in. The Firefox addon LeechBlock NG can delay access to sites. Of course, that can't stop you from opening Chrome - which as far as I can tell, you can't uninstall from Android.
