Never underestimate the poverty of India. India is huge and while in some places there are bubbles of wealth, it's still a third-world country.

It's incredible that a fucking TV is also a scam. I have an LG TV that only works as a dumb screen and it's really beautiful but now when I look at it, I don't see the technical marvel, I think "is someone at LG reading

I honestly believe that certain cultures are measurably worse than others, and skin colour is unfortunately a great proxy for that. I am strongly against celebrating cultures that provably have more negative influence on wider society than

Some time ago I made an abstraction "hey, most people in our company who use CloudFront don't care about all the implementation details, they just want some paths to be somewhat cached". I explained this idea to a coworker. I

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another

I live next to a road and combustion-engine mopeds vary from "holy fuck this is loud" to "I can't wait to move out". I used to live close to an airport and that was much better. The specific noise that mopeds make d

Seriously though, I'm gay so if I want I can literally go to a sex club and have sex, but scrolling is 100 times better than sex with a random person. IMO the problem isn't that we choose scrolling over sex, but that having a smar

It's kinda funny that we all agree that code review is important but we cannot agree why exactly it is important. Imagine a bunch of ancient shamans arguing why exactly local volcano needs to be fed one virgin a year but all being in a

My controversial idea: midnight should be where current 4AM is because 04:00 is the lowest point of human circadian rhythm. Currently we have nonsense like "1AM is technically a part of the next day but for all practical purposes it&#x

Android started mandating all icons to have the same shape like 9 years ago. In 2026 there are still some apps on my phone that haven't updated their icons yet.

I never understood the concept of "learning questions from previous years is cheating". Like, does the entire field of study answer hundred questions and that's it? Or is the professor just too lazy to invent new questions ea

There is something unsettling knowing that AI takes over literal parenting. I mean, I'm not trying to argue with your particular use case of AI, but the general idea that AI might be better at raising children than humans. Imagine know

> but to be fair to them we didn't have the consensus we have today on the topic. This is my pet peeve of teamwork. We can choose solutions A, B or C. Each has upsides and downsides. We debate for two weeks, then we choose nothing.

What do you think of life there in general? Do you think it's a reasonable idea, or one of those things that sound great on paper but then turns out only very specific types of people will actually enjoy it.

I have a theory that the housing crisis is caused by the dating crisis. Statisticians estimate that in the Netherlands we're missing 400 000 houses, while we have 1,2 million people aged 30 to 60 living alone. If two-thirds of those pe
