It would also be more efficient if everyone lived in boarding houses and huddled together for warmth in the winter instead of using a heater. Fortunately we were born into a wealthy society with technology that lets us produce all the energ

I'd prefer MultiplyVecs(v1, v2) + MultiplyVecs(v3, v4) myself. Makes it easy to jump to the function definition and see exactly what's going on.

Politicians have been claiming they're going to fix public schools for my entire adult life and haven't made an inch of progress in that time. We need to abandon the delusion that there's one weird trick (that doctors hate) t

Yeah I don't get this either. I can't believe a $10 angle grinder from harbor freight wouldn't do the job.

If you click the title of the post it takes you to an article where you can read the context instead of having to speculate. >Wisconsin governors have expansive partial veto power, and Evers got creative with his use of it in this budget

Wouldn't you have to define a new struct type for every function return type?

Or even just straight up auction them off to the highest bidder and the government keeps the money. Then you don't have to keep track of their salary or hours once they're here.

The study in the article was on call center workers so I wouldn't necessarily expect it to scale to more complex tasks.

I illegally smuggled medication that I needed in from Canada when I didn't have health insurance in college. I had a prescription but couldn't afford US prices.

>The team consisted of an engineering manager, an engineer, a designer, an APM, and me. I feel for that lone engineer with 4 people breathing down the back of his neck.

I cancelled Prime and got Walmart+. They have all the same cheap crap Amazon does plus grocery delivery.

I don't know about Switzerland but a lot of dams in the US are highly seasonal and also restrict output for flood control or irrigation purposes.

The command line is really unintuitive. Like using 'checkout -b' to create a branch but 'branch -D' to delete one.

They do have example Matter projects for the ESP32-C3/S3. I assume it's over WiFi and not thread. https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/tree/master/...

I've never seen a study but Planet Money interviewed some waiters back in the day and they all said the trick to making a lot in tips is turning over tables as fast as possible.

I agree but I just want to know the price up front. If they have to sell the sandwich for $12 then put $12 on the sign, don't put $9 and then try to pressure me into a $3 tip.

Hardly unique, Israel and Ireland both had high birth rates at the same time as the USSR while being richer. Plus the USSR had the Muslim republics inflating their numbers, those are still the highest birth rate regions of Russia today.

How convenient that it's morally ok to make jokes about groups I don't like but not about groups I do like. It's fortunate that this principle cleaves those two groups so precisely.

It sounds nice to keep failing executives around indefinitely while you try to train or mentor them, but in practice the company can't keep losing $100 million a movie and remain in business. Being nice to bad directors means laying of

I think the evidence that school is extremely important is weak at best. For example, students who don't learn any math until 5th grade caught up to their peers by 6th grade: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/bl

She should have at least had the decency to give it a Latin name.

I would bet that it's more related to older mothers and higher obesity rates.

I think that's purely a practical question that should be decided by the owners of the company since it's their money at stake.
