Underestimating the complexity of autonomous cars, overestimating his abilities and domain knowledge, continuous lying about it (even if not consciously) sound pretty stupid to me. Like, textbook Dunning-Kruger.

Same here. I finally brought accidentally deleting stuff down to zero by having them type the number they get to lose: "You have 55,231 GitHub stars. Please type 55231 if you want to delete them all." But I guess, if you delete re

The way out for people like you and me is to realize that most problems don’t need to be solved with software. When you find an effective solution that doesn’t involve code or computers at all, you can congratulate yourself.

It's not just you. I avoid this website, too. I don't want to read a book in my browser. There's too much going on visually, and all in the same color. Three types of links, footnotes, icons, artistic first letters, ... for m

This is how conspiracy theories start. Take a thing that has some truth to it and extrapolate it all the way up, dismissing that the whole system is probably more complex.

A standard urine-based pregnancy test turns positive ~10-12 days after conception. So the embryo must’ve been even younger. Probably 3-6 days. Conception happens in the Fallopian tube, it takes 2-3 days for the fertilized egg to reach the u

It also depends on your timezone. I live in Germany. When I get up in the morning, most heated discussions have cooled down, a consensus has been found in some way or another. I hardly ever see the most toxic comments, because they are down

Some devs want to use the native UI, but this isn’t okay either apparently. So are you advocating that every dev should implement their own alert modal?

The conspiracy theorists always claimed that there is some kind of master plan to enslave the human race by the elite and that masks and whatnot are just the beginning. How does a minority protest stop the evil masterplan? This makes no sen

2 (Sidebar) is not usable on mobile, because there is no good hover event. Since mobile-first is almost a necessity, it won't work this way. Accordions make most sense as a table of contents, although they are often used in FAQs. But i

This post resonates a lot with me for several reasons: 1. I know exactly how this passive state of mind feels to me. It's good to hear that others feel the same. 2. 3 days might not be much, but it doesn't matter, if it is long en

You have never played Wild Rift oder LoL, have you? Disabling the ingame chat is the most sane thing you can do. Games are won by playing, not by typing.

How did the participation in the survey itself develop over the years? Do people get tired to take part? I participated in the survey for several years in a row now, but this time, it was slow as heck and buggy and I almost didn't part

I agree, I'm not a believer in the efficient market hypothesis anymore. I think the stock market is driven in large parts by narrative, which explains outliers a lot better. I just found the tautological advice of my parent poster a bi

That article is… useless. But actually, it shows exactly what the parent poster said: the real riches came only after you had a lot of capital. Sure, $1,000 to $85,000 is a great performance, but not life changing in itself.

I like to explore the game mechanic. I abandon games once I feel like I figured out the game loop and don’t want to invest in the grind. Why do it? Because building stuff in the real world isn’t necessarily better. What are you gonna do wit

Descriptions like these always miss one crucial thing: The time component. In a similar vein, there's this saying that if people get in a terrible accident and lose a limb, they are back to their normal happiness after a year. Now imag

Which I don't understand. Marketing is part of what makes the product. You can't simply promise stuff on your website and then put something else in the fine print. If you market the thing as (almost) self-driving, then the fine-p

This might be an annoying bug, but I wouldn't call this a doxxing vulnerability. Your userid stays the same, no matter what your handle is. Of course, the userid is mostly hidden for the end user, but there are a few services that trac

Websites are shopping windows. They change all the time and that is okay. But somehow, people have the expectation that the entire web is more like a permanent archive of written content. That is simply not true.
