If you select "I don't like this recommendation" for a video on youtube, you will get to provide feedback on why you did so: either "I don't like this video" or "I've already watched this video."

I knew a guy who was a chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons guy in the army. He took bomb diffusal training, studied old soviet missiles, the lot. What did he do on a day to day basis? Mostly blew up grenades that didn't blow up o

And if you want to be a firefighter, you have to pass fitness tests and climb ladders and stuff. If you want to be an actor or musician, you have to audition. The employer wants to know what you know. I guess maybe some people think of thes

The Soviets met their production quotas, at the cost of unrelenting and dangerous working conditions for little to no pay, a stark lack of consumer goods, and in many cases starvation and mass execution or deportation. But they got Stalin h

Buying treasury stock is what happens when you're undervalued in the market, but don't have many expansion opportunities. They don't want to raise capital because they don't think the demand exists for more airports, mor

You're just not sending the database - you're sending whether or not it's the database. If you can only send a binary "is the database or is not the database" then 0 and 1 is indeed fully losslessly compressed infor

This is true of all compression formats. The receiver has to know how to decode it. A good compression algorithm will attempt to send only the data that the receiver can't predict. If we both know you're sending English words, the

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has had poor results in the past, failing to live up to its previous hype. So I want to know what they did that's fundamentally different from past results. If what they did differently was do a poor j

It's not a conlang in the sense that anyone expects it to be taken up as an international auxiliary language. It's a conlang created for creative and artistic purposes. It's not meant for "wide adoption." It's

The point at which the government should have rewritten their COBOL systems into a language that would have a talent pool to draw from was at least 30 years ago.

I didn't say that. I didn't even suggest that he didn't create the term. I just said that there's no reason to assume, just because a phrase exists in famous work of art, that it is the origin or popularizer of the phras

First, that's a different, much more specific variation that is clearly from Howl. I have heard the phrase "the best minds of a generation" in old movies and books before, but they would have been around 1950 so maybe Howl ca

I see no reason to think Ginsberg originated the phrase "best minds of a generation," but it doesn't appear cliche enough of a phrase to even have an etymology I could look up.

Comparisons beyond 100 years or so are largely meaningless. You're right about purchasing power, and that leads to your last point which is that what could actually be bought was so fundamentally different that attempting to do so is a

Lesson I've long learned: never bookmark anything. Bookmarks are to temporarily remember a URL, not to archive content. If the content is important or meaningful to you, save the page.

I understand the problem that touch-screens solve on cell phones. How do you squeeze the most functionality onto the smallest surface? By doubling up on functions, and reusing existing functionality to be context-sensitive. The trend of mov

I discovered I was accidentally undertipping people because of this. I had set it to 20% and it got reset at some point. I felt like a shitty person for it, but systematically underpaying people who work on tips is such a fucked up thing to

This is what people mean when they say Haskell is "opinionated." Haskell shepherds you into separating out IO code from library code to such an extent that literally any function that has an IO action taints the value returned fro

That's somewhat ingenious. I sometimes hear about walkouts when a company has some military contract - I bet that would be a good time to unionize; make ending the contract part of deal.

As Calvin Coolidge said "there is no right to strike against the public safety." People can organize all they want, but they can't conspire to harm people, holding lives up as not-that-metaphorical hostages in a negotiation.

I'm not sure that's a good assumption. Introverted users may be more likely to participate in online discussions since they prefer it over in-person conversations.

That's what I did, too. It helped me more than AA.

Interesting. I was never a fan of AA and I was very critical in the lack of science and rigor in addiction treatment, and actually for mental health in general. I always felt there were better treatments, but CBT-based group therapy /

This is why academic articles (should) contain pseudocode. I do prefer functional concepts illustrated using ML-family syntax over equivalent C-family code because C-style syntax seems to be verbose, full of boilerplate, and just overall no

I did work for a company where they had a few important vendors who would run legacy versions of their software and demand a bugfix for that version. They did this only once or twice a year, but being able to reproduce and patch old version

I don't trust any repository, but I still need to install packages to get things done.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I had been told that the reason the US added fair use exemptions was to make sure our copyright laws were compatible with the first amendment, or else risk them being struck down.

You definitely own the copyright of your own recording and playing of a tune in the puplic domain. It's not fair use at all. You own the copyright a recording of a classical composition, even if it contains non-copyrighted elements. Fa
