I understand that. I am in a very similar position. I make time for my hobbies and it is often very difficult, especially as an active parent who makes a strong effort to be present regularly in my kids' lives. Sometimes, I don&#x27

While impressive, that is a project that is basically perfectly suited to gain the most from this kind of optimization, and the fact that it already was incredibly fast means that there are fewer low hanging fruits for performance, and othe

Interestingly close to a Seinfeld episode plot for a guy named "Cramer".

Bit of a tangent, I asked a friend if I could rip and burn one of his CDs about 15 years ago, and he looked at me in horror and told me that I absolutely could not, because he liked that disc. It took me a bit to realize what he understood

The era is not the same. Our scribing in the margins is significantly less valuable than that of medieval scholars, because our mediums for recording, storing, archiving, and sharing information are significantly less restricted. The levels

Many people I've met really could use more fulfilling hobbies.

Addiction is often extremely distressing. Dulled pleasure can be far better than drinking yourself into a stupor every single night.

You still have the right to complain, you just don't have the right for anybody else to care about your complaint. The ability to complain doesn't need to be earned, only the respect itself needs to be earned.

When manually modifying JSON, it really helps avoid accidentally missing a comma when you add or reorder elements. JSON isn't English. The comma doesn't mean what it does in English, so I don't see why a period would be appro

In countries that don't force every citizen to file, you still can report things they aren't aware of and still can do your taxes manually if you choose. The majority of the population doesn't know anything about their taxes

TurboTax doesn't charge for standard federal income filing, but they do charge for some forms of return, and for state taxes, and for audit protection. Even with the "free" standard offering, it's been lucrative enough f

Less money to Intuit and H&R Block and more in my pocket and my government's is a win to me. I'm all for productive businesses, but I'm sick of these tax companies influencing public policy and collecting rent by solving

That is really interesting. I wonder if they considered Linux too late in development to shift to something platform agnostic, or just decided that Wine was reliable enough for them to depend on it. It's interesting that anything other

People care about what they're paying in taxes whether they're manually punching in the numbers or not. For most people, you just put the numbers in the right places when filing taxes, and don't consider the policy implicatio

And it should be required to file a tax return only when those kinds of situations actually apply to you. The majority of the population doesn't actually have those concerns.

It's still almost entirely about consent and safety, though. Rubbing it in other peoples' faces violates their consent. It's really not black and white, it's a spectrum. People have a right to have their sexualities safe

Some pro-sex communities often forget that "consent" doesn't just apply to participants. Bystanders should also have the right to avoid being exposed to sex acts and concepts that they don't want to see. Call people prud

Weird title. The actual title is "Human activities and species biological traits drive the long-term persistence of old trees in human-dominated landscapes". Looks like the nonsense title here is the result of removing a bunch of

Most compression algorithms don't take more work to decompress at higher levels, and actually perform better due to having less data to work through. Gzip consistently benchmarks better at decompression for higher levels. It's not

mysite.localhost works fine for very simple development, but can easily fall down with containers, VMs, or multi-machine development. Technically, you can point it to a non-loopback IP, but I wouldn't do that. .localdomain is used some

I get it, but I don't agree that the defense is having a smaller number of tldns. I think the problem is with an omnibar in the first place, because it has to heuristically guess what you want. I preferred having a separate search bar

I don't think the top level comment was inherently about money, though. "Contribute back" can mean non-monetarily, or even be implying an indirect monetary gain from them contributing non-monetarily to their families. Economi

An additional personal counterpoint: I know three very productive knowledge workers over the age of 70 who all say they'll stop working when they're dead. My wife and I can only both work because our elderly parents take on childc

The way social media acts as an echo chamber and may intensify extreme viewpoints and isolation from fellow citizens isn't extremely controversial. It has also been leveraged as a tool for good, helping prevent many people from being e

I don't disagree with you, and I find Switzerland a really interesting example. Building good education, good culture, and good social values is often a much healthier outcome than regulation. In my experience, trying to build effectiv

Economics of scale come into effect as well. Gzip decompression speed is slightly better at higher levels as well. A one time higher cost of compression can pay off pretty quickly when you are decompressing it a lot of times, or serving it

It is still a regulation, and supports the argument that a tool that can be used to do damage should have rules to reduce the risk and severity of damage where reasonable. There are already laws governing phone use while driving in many pla

Who banned AI? This discussion is about regulation of AI to reduce its capability for harm, not to ban it outright.
