I’ve seen people bend over backwards and jump through flaming hoops to score Uber Eats credits via referrals. There are definitely people out there who value a monetary reward.

Most languages don't let you (or at least make it hard to) directly convert user input into memory locations though. The scope of the issue in other languages would likely be much more limited.

If you’re lost in the woods you’re not orienteering. You’ll know your general location and you can see things on the maps like rivers relative to where you think you are. “If I walk west from here, I’ll hit a river and then I can follow tha

Apple breaks stuff all the time when updating their APIs. If you hold yourself to decisions made long in the past, then your platform will undoubtably become crusty and stale. Maybe Node maintainers are ok with that, but it shouldn’t be sur

Well, people in this thread are saying the people in cold countries should have a lower cancer rate. My point is that people in cold countries may keep their homes warmer, and they might not spend much time below 22C, whereas people in more

I believe there is some evidence that those who grew up in colder climates prefer warmer interior temperatures. Imagine you live in Norway. In the winter, you need to heat your home so you pick a temperature you prefer. Now imagine you live

Why is there an incentive to grow more mustard? Subsidies have shifted the supply curve for mustard. The opportunity costs of growing mustard have increased due to subsidies for other crops. Now less mustard is grown and a new equilibrium p

That’s why I really like SSBU. Once you learn the controls, the game becomes more about your understanding of your opponent and your own weaknesses than anything else. Sure, there are combos and “tech” you can learn, but it doesn’t matter u

That’s the average. Many pieces of clothes are worn hundreds of times. Which means the median is probably lower than 6. Many pieces of clothes are probably only worn once or twice.

I think the GP’s point was that social relationships are increasingly becoming irrelevant to people. Having a personal relationship CRM seems cool, but this shift in society is happening not for lack of good social tools.

Burning plastic is only good if you capture the released CO2. Otherwise, I have a hard time imagining plastic is a more efficient fuel than most fossil fuels, meaning you release more CO2 for the same result when burning plastic.

How are you going to woo “prosumers” with ads in the start menu? Id pay extra not to see ads, which means I’m happy to pay a premium to use an Apple computer. Seems like the team was doomed from the start.

I had a shower thought the other day: clearly conservation of energy is just a guideline and not a fundamental law. Otherwise, how could anything exist?

Unless the author is correct 100% of the time, it should be easy to point to examples where the author admits they’re wrong, which would trivially negate the hypothesis that autistic people can’t admit they’re wrong. Instead of providing ex

I can’t imagine dedicating this much time analyzing whether or not I can acknowledge when I’m wrong. It’s almost like this entire piece is an elaborate rationalization the author is making rather than admitting they are wrong.

In 2019, the Fed decided to raise the benchmark rate, but then reversed course after a few months. I wonder if his prediction in 2019 was before or after the Fed started lowering rates again. Rates were also rising in 2004 when he made his

Unity’s value decrease is mostly (solely?) due to market conditions. That means that their underlying business is the same as it was before the broader market downturn, which means their value should increase as market conditions improve. U

They’re like 27% down from their IPO price two years ago. I don’t think their business has deteriorated so drastically that 17.5B would be attractive. I could be wrong though.

Unity is currently valued around 15B. 17.5B is an embarrassingly small premium, especially considering how down the tech broader tech market is. You have to think Unity will shortly be worth more than 17.5B.

Yes, a better language would protect innocent programs. Take stack canaries. They are to protect stack corruption due to an application bug, e.g. unsafe input handling. Input handling is perfectly safe in many other languages, but C has a l
