The answer is kids. They consume all free time. This really is what most people do.

He used to point at schools. He has since figured out that school improvement isn't the fix, and especially that throwing money at schools isn't a fix. He now points at household income. These are just things that happen to correl

Benchmarked? For one lookup, or for repeated lookups? Hashes have terrible cache locality. Unicode itself has locality, with the greek characters generally separate from the chinese characters and so on. The tree-based and array-based metho

Me too. What am I supposed to do about it, divorce my wife or take away her car keys? This is not a battle I can win without major collateral damage. My car is nasty. The seats are brown with aftermarket goo. This is how it is when you must

Less than 0.1% of software jobs are FANG. This is not a sensible comparison. Picking something more normal, Tesla pays software developers just $78k to $147k. Raytheon can beat that. This is without even trying to adjust for hours (a 9-to-5

The juice problem is easily preventable as long as you don't have a spouse who disagrees with a no-juice policy. You'd also have to diaper kids for years after you'd normally consider them potty trained. Small ones don't

Lithium is available in seawater. We can have as much as we want. Seawater was also the source of magnesium for the US before China took over that market.

I really don't see "Entire Congressional Districts" losing anything. The whole point is probably to get more votes in congress. The more districts the better. It's amazing and refreshing when a company breaks this costly

If the train is elastic, you'd recover that energy. Going into a curve, kinetic energy from the speed of the train is turned into spring energy by bending the train. Leaving the curve, the spring energy becomes kinetic energy. The flex

You'd think so, but this is where we hit problems: zoning, real estate transaction cost, 2-income households, property tax rates that reset if you move... Fixing those problems would fix the traffic problems.

I would love to hear more about this: "lot of things I want to do, and having children would destroy my chances" I assume you really just mean that those things would be irresponsible if you had kids. I can make a few guesses, but

What about security? The remote worker is going to need a development workstation that can't be accessed by a non-employee. It'll have to be in a room with a lock and an alarm. Houses shared with family members make this difficult

Florida prefers to upgrade the poles to ones that hurricanes can't bother. Concrete is popular, with some poles being 2 feet thick. Ductile iron is becoming popular. Buried stuff is hard to fix and is at risk of flooding.

One of my favorite comic strips features the topic: https://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/so-i-married-a-kern... ...but seriously, he was in fact busy developing that filesystem capability at the time.

You stop that by isolating the cows from badgers and any other wildlife. Workers and their clothing and tools get cleaned when entering and leaving the facility. The only thing hard about disease management is the competitive race to the bo

Food animals don't get the option to travel around town at will. There should be no possible way for the disease to spread. The fact that the disease does spread means that farms are failing to provide biohazard isolation. We can see a

Stop-and-frisk feels like a major violation of rights, but it does work well. I think that doing this by surprise, or around where people live, is problematic. Setting up a limited region, with posted signs, is pretty reasonable. For exampl

Believing every slippery slope to be a fallacy is itself a fallacy. The same goes with conspiracy theories. They aren't all wrong!

People in for a suspected heart attack should get bacon, right? I was at a place that did it. That is either an assumption about what heart attack patients like to eat, or it is an effort to get repeat customers.

I'm lucky to have avoided BART last time, choosing instead to rent a Nissan Maxima. BART was on strike. To me, that is a bit like the air traffic controllers going on strike, and you resolve it the same way. Strikes by government emplo

When I saw "Fried", I though it was going to be about RF burns and a memorial service. Evidently, she's as OK as she ever was.

This idea that "Me taking responsibility for my part here is me leaving." is simply stunning in how upside-down and backwards it is. I'm not sure what the point of marriage is if you show it so little respect. Tax break? Taki

We're not solving this unless we can teach all people, even newborns and coma patients, to do 8192-bit RSA in their heads and to generate and remember suitable private keys all in their heads. We're not solving this.

Somebody needs a pair of math classes to meet the requirements. They ignore it for 3 years. They then begin a 2-semester sequence of really basic math that is pretty much 7th grade (12 year old) level. They drop the first class, tray again

Those are not the words of someone who intends to stay together. Relationships are not automatic. They require stubborn commitment. If you are planning for an exit, you're going to get one. It is certain that there will be conflict, an

What I'm saying is that yes, we do switch name order for Korean. Maybe I met a weirdo, but he was from Korea and he did put his given name before his family name ("Moon" can be either) when living in the USA.

I won't claim that that would be perfectly fine, but I don't think it is much different from a megacity dweller being evicted from an apartment. It's not the end of the world to have to move. This shouldn't be so scary.

Those aren't universal rules. I knew a man by the name of Moon Kim, originally from Korea but then a US citizen. We change name order for the same reason that we change the order of anything else in a sentence. Partial translation crea
