We need to be critically honest about how our system operates. Land is finite. As population grows, supply and demand dictate it will rise in value if you hold. If you rent property that someone else would prefer to buy for habitation if m

It’s even crazier if you imagine that whole universe might be countless universe lengths away from its starting point every microsecond for all we know. Acceleration is the only thing we feel. You’re very likely to travel into an undefined

Sure, but how big is your contact patch? They’re low friction for a reason.

Thank you for your contributions. You are quite literally saving lives. Are there any good local (op-so ideally) tools and/or libraries one can experiment with? I have access to a couple HPC clusters and would love to learn more.

Many trackers will add dummy data to prevent profiling. There is no validation to claims. It’s nice to look at, but not reliable.

I was concerned by this and humidity also, two summers in (one extra hot) and no issues yet. It even handles the MPEG2 transcoding locally for good measure.

For reference, I just pointed my antenna in the attic towards the nearest metropolis, picked up 108 channels, sent them to an HDHomeRun box that sends them to Plex which handles the guide data and DVR to an SMB share. It took a couple hours

110% this. Real web search is disappearing locked behind large datasets unavailable for normal users. The AI screen ensures you’re fed exactly what they intended while siloing off the web more and more to block competition. All the while

The age old value vs perception of value dilemma. The issue is that recruiters and many times the first few interviewers are not at all technical. They have all the time to make their outward appearances business aesthetic, and their skill

Let the App Store contain backup providers that are allowed to compete with iCloud while you’re at it. The ability to self host it yourself would be a game changer for the lockdown. There are too many apps with local data that can only be

I was trying to be vague to see how pedantic the audience here is when the meaning of a statement can be easily inferred from context. Seems very.

Knowing NK, they’re probably part of a genetic breeding program targeting complacency and intelligence. Why fix the system when you can fix the individual?

In a similar but different vein: Two people are sitting side by side in a police car. One just committed a crime. What is their profession? They always say police officer instead of reasoning through that maybe an innocent person and a th

They are automatically drafted when the email comes in, and you can accept or modify them. It’s like you’re asking why you would want a password manager when you can just type the characters yourself. It saves time if done correctly.

Across dozens of studies, the evidence is clear: Exposure by itself produces a predisposition to engage. Just seeing drugs/alcohol/sex in media increases the likelihood of trying them by 25-50%, further increasing with number of e

HTML and CSS with a sprinkle of JS, combined with the hardened web standardization we see today paints a pretty clear picture. JavaScript is here to stay, web browsers are here to stay, they can make GUIs that are durable. I find it comical

I tend to agree with you that defining truth as: “These elements interacted like so,” is difficult to bias unless you introduce relativity. The problems arise when why comes into play and ascribing intent.

You’re very confident in your opinions. It’s not immoral to recognize that you and your family and most of the people you know are split between penis and vagina. It is immoral to police thoughts you disagree with. Believing race exists le

Advertising is like pollution. Normal people realize they’re getting poisoned, but they still get to where they need to be, so don’t bother to change it. We need to make collected data and metadata public. If a cabal of advertisers is con

Maybe I’m missing something, but why have a single piece PCB instead of individual parts with a 3D printed slot for the sensor and LED. A few wires later and a model scale up and your chess board can be a different size. I suppose one piece

Or I’m in a different industry and it’s ridiculous to require years of schooling for a skill that’s not my primary interest? Or maybe the numbers looked jumbled and they really didn’t enjoy STEM classes? You sound arrogant. Have you ever pa

It’s interesting it took you this long to substitute “junior coder” with LLM. The implicit safety is just as applicable to teams of human error prone devs.
