I was born around when you were and screen time never came up, the more time I spent on my computer the better, honestly. I had many problems, but generic “screen time” was never one of them.

Is this a UFO investigations office??? I know what I want to be when I grow up…

This is nothing at all like self driving cars; firstly the risks are not even in the same ballpark, and secondly every piece of advice given includes, “check the response independently.” It says nothing about a tool like this if people cho

It doesn’t get the kind of things taught in most classrooms wrong in the way it gets business applications wrong, because there’s a (mostly) correct response that isn’t going to vary a ton from source to source. The weighting will always p

Same, and if you have a manager like that, just recognize that they're not going to be able to do much about it if you do help others. Just kind of ignore them if they suggest doing otherwise.

Yes. Artificial alloys exist from humans, once you start suggesting nonhuman metallurgy you venture into the science fiction, and at that point why not suggest alchemy? Because alchemy doesn’t support his little pet conspiracy. In academi

You absolutely have to substantiate possibilities; otherwise we could just list off anything that comes to mind endlessly. There must be a reason why this possibility is worth mentioning but not all of the other unsubstantiated ones.

From this very paper: > Another possibility is that this unfamiliar abundance pattern may reflect an extraterrestrial technological origin. Gotta love unsubstantiated paradigm-destroying claims thrown in casually at the tail end of paper

Eh, I wouldn’t think of these as “demos”, really. What you want to show is that you’re going to be building working products that solve peoples’ problems regardless of what happens, and by hiring you they’ll be putting that energy to work

Teslas marketing has been in direct conflict with its capabilities, and hopefully they’ll get smacked down hard enough to stop being reckless with what they claim vs. what they disclaim later on. It’s called Full Self Driving. That matters

I’m trying to come up with the right way to convey this thought and I’m not sure I’ve nailed it, but here’s my attempt: How you feel about these engineers is how lead engineers feel about how you feel about these engineers. It’s hierarchica

"Should"? Or else what, they don't get the gold star you hand out every month to devs you consider "worthy"? A dev can go an entire career never having needed to set up a CI/CD pipeline on their own.

The argument is that it’s unnecessary, or less necessary, if we reconsider how we build our buildings.

Why avoid the rewrite? Why require your work to be "skillful" in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to focus all of your time and effort on the hardest problem of all, finding customers, and leave whatever wisps of brai

You'd be surprised by how few people find "Set up CI/CD for a basic MVP" a trivial task.

Try looking at this through the lens of a Native American parent circa 1880, and you may understand a bit better how these people feel. They’re wrong, but we can have sympathy for them, at least.

We covered this literally this week in my intro to astronomy class, my prof said he paid a guy to walk the distance and measure it out.

A straw man won’t help you here, nobody is talking about complete transparency.

They’re both transactions yes, but one has actual medical consequences, whereas the other has precisely zero concrete harms. This is the fundamental problem with privacy alarmists; despite the dire warnings, millions upon millions of people

Despite the many protestations otherwise on this site and others, the line between "remove kidney" and "inflict harm" is a hell of a lot clearer and brighter than "give up some privacy" and "inflict harm

Presuming King Narmer is an old guy, it was probably also true that slavery has been the paw for nearly all of the time since his rule. Doesn’t make it right.

Sure, but you are in agreement with what I’m saying; good code implies specificity towards the line-by-line writing and structuring of the language (that’s what “code” is, more or less), and I argue that’s useless, as do you here by citing

I’m responding to a number of top level comments that seem to presume the idea that the government ought to restrict what happens to my data, without consideration for what I want.

You’re falling for the trap I’m suggesting you avoid. Stop caring about platonic ideals of what Good Code ought to be, and start focusing on how well the code solves the problems it was built to solve. You can call that good code if you wa

Notion + GoodNotes is where I’m at currently. I do wish I could combine the two, but no app I’ve found does tablet+pen and typed notes seamlessly together, so I just split them out for this setup. I’m also experimenting with Asana to track

But that’s paternalistic; you are disallowing me from doing what I want with my data. I should be allowed to sell it to corporations in return for services, knowing full well they intend to sell my data to others. That’s what makes my d

Hold on; the US government should not prevent me from willingly giving my data away in exchange for goods or services. Maybe make it clearer that’s what is happening, but if you truly believe my data is mine , then you don’t get to tell m

Or maybe “code quality” really means how visually pleasing the code is, or maybe it means it takes up the least amount of disk space, or what if it means code that doesn’t use the letter ‘e’? This is why the pursuit of “high quality code” i
