It's the right lesson because the difficulty of the bug often depends on the dev. For example it might take one dev weeks to figure out that a hang due to a sleep(.001) call within asyncio whereas another can identify it with a glance

Seems like a non-story, why wouldn't trump simply pardon them? These would be some of the more obvious pardons to hand out, and there's clearly no longer a precedent by either party to hand out pardons sparingly.

For me, he was incredibly right. Steam is so much easier than pirating games, you generally did need accounts to pirate, monthly subscription to either rapidshare/gator equivalent or a VPN to torrent. The vast majority of steam games

Product leaders that apply world-changing technology breakthrough names to their yet-another cloned SaaS product deserve more shame. Antigravity would be a world-changing technology. This isn't.

Could it be because we are subsidizing that soda and garbage via SNAP? Especially in low income areas? As the great Charlie M used to say: "Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome" but we can't change it be

So why not reform it? It seems like an easy way to get bipartisan support and compromise. To put the numbers in perspective, the US only had 3000 deaths due to starvation (almost all of which are mental health issues rather than lack of a

I'm not sure this is very fair because humans are often not given the right tools to make a good decision. For example: To gift to a 529 regardless of the financial institution, you go to some random ugift529.com site and put in a cod

Note that they don't have to be a monopoly to cause a problem. Usually the way things go is these state-run grocery stores get subsidies. The goal is to provide food in food deserts, not to be profitable. Over time the subsidy inevi

China found a way around this by manufacturing all their civilian ships to military standards. Maybe guns or butter is a false dichotomy. Or perhaps the even tougher lesson: a country with an information economy ends up with neither.

I'm going back to the Airpods Pro 2. Pro 3 is a step backwards, there are these ANC noise issues not only on flights but also during heal-strikes when running down a hill, a staticky thump rather than high-pitched. I've also had o

Word2vec can/could also do the seahorse thing. It at least seems like there's more to what humans consider a concept than a direction in a vector space model (but maybe not). https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog&#

The YouTube recommendation homepage used to be quite good. It's disappointing that youtube is throwing it all away because they want to be TikTok. Meanwhile TikTok is striving to embrace STEM and trying to go for more quality over pur

Rational/risky experiments are illegal currently. For example take the famous mask debate. It could easily be solved by having volunteers willing to stand in a room with people with covid at various distance, each using randomized mas

Rational and science might be pretty far apart. Flying a key in a thunderstorm for example isn't the most rational decision. Neither scraping open your family's arms and applying cowpox pus. Pretty irrational, but definitely cel

I think we need Wikipedia competitors. Wikipedia is a victim of it's own success, it was excellent at avoiding bias for quite awhile and the vast majority of articles are extremely well written. However it's massive popularity and

Agreed, flying in a plane is far safer, it was the full stop thing :) I also would recommend flying in a small plane at least once, the small additional risk is worth the experience.

This is an overgeneralization. You are far more likely to die in a C172 airplane than you are in a modern car.

Charts like this are misleading because they don't take age into account. It's not really noteworthy that old people die of heart disease and cancer. I believe a better chart would be weighted by life expectancy loss. For exampl

Idk I think the plow still has similar scaling. You can make a much bigger plow now maybe it replaces 40 humans. You could make it bigger still and have ox pull it, now maybe 400 humans since you still need one to lead the ox. Farmer Joe
