Odd. Personally there is something exceedingly off-putting in the aftertaste of Impossible and I occasionally get rancid smelling burps afterwards. Beyond is fine, but still not in my top 5 veggie burgers.

I was going to say the same. I suspect that anyone who believes that fast-food is more expensive than a grocery store has never lived in a poor neighborhood.

The person you are replying to had a job (likely in tech), a house, a car, and a chance at promotion when the child was conceived. That seems like a better position than most. If your implied threshold for conceiving a child is that you mus

I suspect that the goal of the OpenAI/GPT usage restriction is not to prevent Every Bad Thing, but to avoid contributing to them in a way that draws negative attention. After all, "Political Campaign Uses AI to Make Attack Ad&quot

I feel you. Tooling for programming often seems to presume that programming is your primary focus and that you can afford to spend time every month keeping up with changes. For a small passion project the overhead of this churn eats a large

This seems common in my experience. I am not brave enough to name and shame, but I worked as a low-level manager at a US-based financial services firm and my boss asked us to discourage our reports from discussing pay or bonuses. He seemed

I may have missed it, but it does not look like Meister Singer makes a version with a 24h dial, is that correct? I think that would be the main draw of a single hand watch for me.

In my experience this is true and Linux has come a long way. But given how far it has yet to go it may continue to be true for the next couple decades as well.

If you are someone who can read and understand the kernel doc then I agree that you can be more efficient in Linux. For the vast majority of the population the response to errors is identical on both platforms: reboot, internet searches, le

Of course an event like this would cause me to rethink my position. But I don't think I would wait until it actually happened to my child. People have been raising these kinds of concerns to free speech absolutists like Musk for a whil

I could have written the same comment and have mixed feelings about turning into the old person who feels that everything was cheaper "back in my day". I try and remind myself that for the most part it's not that cars are tha

Agreed that they are expensive cars that have gotten even more expensive over the last decade. But comparing absolute numbers for a car you bought five years ago may be misleading because the majority of the increase is likely due to inflat

When I took a course in game design years ago I recall a lecture that distinguished between "toys" and "games". A game has an objective whereas a toy does not. Now, you can start with a toy (like The Sims or a regulation

It is interesting that there are so many products that replicate Emacs features for people who don't use Emacs. ("X without Emacs" seems to be the open-source version of "Uber for Y".) It makes me think that if Ema
