Thanks for an amazing explanation that I feel can both reach someone who is not a parent through how it modifes the local maximum, but also verbalizes the feelings and "justification" for being a parent so well.

Oh god, you're not joking about Missouri. I just read about how it came to be, and - well, I don't know what to say.

I've switched to Linux from Mac OS about 2 years ago, being frustrated by memory consumption, slowdowns and freezes. After trying a couple of distributions / DEs, I've settled on Manjaro (Arch based) and KDE. Delighted with f

Completely agree - the vast differences in the Earth's species and their intelligence should be an indication of the enormous range of possibilities we should expect...Saying that, since "most intelligent" species on Earth ar

Apart from that, it's also fast, rock solid, has UI on the bottom, which is much easier to use, syncs with desktop (if you want that) etc...In general, it's excellent and I don't understand why it isn't hugely more used

This matches my thinking as well...In general, we are relatively close to breaking new ground in longevity or even aging reversal on multiple fronts...Yet, we are utterly socio-economically, ethically and morally immature for any side-effec

For better or for worse. When you say "connect", that means get them in front of a couple of hundred platforms (globally, comes down to couple dozen in the west) to transact on and generate revenue for those market players. It&#x2

In that case, I'm not worried about medicine, I'm worried about how our socioeconomic immaturity will play out the future in which the elite has access to aging-reversing and potentially disease-eradicating drugs, while the rest i

True - my only gripe with it is that video icon is in the same place - if I have 5 YouTube tabs, 1 playing, that one with audio icon is very hard to distinguish from the other 4 with video icons. Not sure if video icon is useful to some peo

That's interesting - the one in Antarctica, for example, really tickles the fantasy, doesn't it.

Good points and I agree that they can help in a lot of cases. However, I would argue that, if you're an engineer and the best use of your time is to report 2 times a day, for things to be "working", it might be that you'

I was hoping for a friend to buy a laptop for me in Germany (generally low availability of new products where I live) and was positively blown away with how detailed and useful their (geizhals.de) search based on laptop specs is. Excellent

Thank you for your comment. I unfortunately didn't know of John Tiller before seeing this post, but I feel it's anecdotes like yours that do disproportionately more to help put color on someone than what you can otherwise just rea

I think the process of a young person learning a huge amount of manual skills from their grandfather, putting in the sustained long-term effort and building something from scratch with your hands that has lasting value (like a cabin) is pre

Unless you want to consider all those people who contributed as not really smart for spending their time on something that a single person can easily do along the way in their project, I'm not sure why you would suggest doing so as a b

Uh, sorry to hear about the migration - it's understandable given the (over-)simplicity of Trello, but Jira seems like a jump to another end of the spectrum. We migrated away from Jira (Cloud) to Quire which has been amazing. The poor

The problem is in what the person said above - it works for them, with 30% conversion rate...they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't get money from other people that way...

Exactly - but they do it because "the other side" is trying to show protests as exclusively violent because it serves the narrative that "normal" and "peaceful" people don't have reasons to protest, only v

From 9:30pm, when both kids are asleep, I can spend 2-3h feeling exhausted, trying to get myself to do something , trying not to fall asleep and failing at it. It's fun.

I suspect it has to do with number of windows required for your work. If it's a couple, I guess switching desktops/screens/windows via shortcut is equally or more efficient than separate screens. However, if I have ~10-12 win

That interpretation would indicate that they - Instagram - are fixing an iOS 14 bug, which is pretty unlikely to be the case.

Same here - I don't have a separate room for work (never needed it) and have 2 pre-school kids at home. Average period without interruption: 10 minutes. I do so little "real" work during the day, that I need 4-5 hours at nigh

I'm genuinely curious - would you be so kind to share what kind of coding do you do, and for how long have you been doing it, when you can code for 12 hours not needing to look up how to do something online (syntax, example for a best

Adding to anecdotal, same trajectory for me, for web development. Really happy with Manjaro on Razor Blade 15 for a year now.

That's pretty nice - but people who need to interface with a wide variety of devices in their line of work, or don't know upfront what the situation in the field will require don't have that luxury. So instead using a laptop
