“It’s a religion/identity” is true of just about everything these days (sports, political movements, subreddits, whatever). It’s not specific to crypto. It’s a symptom of the lack of meaningful identities for people to adopt, and the

Well, that’s the conclusion the authors want you to draw. IMHO, that’s a higher burden of proof than a correlation study like this can offer. As in, if I didn’t already drink coffee, and I was worried about stroke, I don’t think this study

The take away here is: there is no obvious evidence in this data that coffee and tea cause stroke or dementia. So if we were worried about that, at least there is no obvious relationship.

I think the article also applies to teams - in particular, how not to destroy teams by ignoring the individuality of the team members, and indeed of the team itself. Each individual grouping of humans is unique in its social dynamics, relat

You are correct. What is happening is USD has gone down strongly relative to all non-printable assets.

We had people do this. It sounds good in theory but in practice you wind up scheduling the next meeting 45 minutes later because you know the first one will run over. The second or third time the “boss” rolls into a meeting 30 minutes late

I think not allowing late people in is bad, but ruthlessly starting on time (with no “catching up” people who are late or revisiting decisions) is good.

If they’re in the same “project” it will detect them. This is also a good way to use IntelliJ because it makes it easier to do large changes that span many code bases / repos.

Appreciate your point but this is a false dichotomy - (to me, at least) there's beauty in function. In fact, it's sort of the only non-subjective aesthetic. Code like the Linux kernel isn't necessarily all beautiful in terms

I’m looking for tips around this too, but a couple things that I have noticed helping me are: - Extend your competence at least one layer below where you are working. So if you’re using Java, read through the code for the SDK data structur

How do you actually deliberately practice and improve programming? What about data science / research? Curious if anyone has suggestions.

Use Linux, pretend you’re in the 90s/2000s. If you can’t afford a team, you’re too small to need more. - Use NFS (EFS), put builds in a /releases folder - Bash scripts for build, deploy, release - Bash scripts to wrap apps (writ

You would need a valuation for the painting you disposed of. The fact that you never actually received USD is irrelevant. I had this problem in 2018 - I bought BTC in 2017 before the boom, exchanged a bunch for ETH at the peak of 2018, and

What excites me at the moment is space - and specifically the advent of space as an accessible, valuable, but dangerous place to be - a perfect place for robots. I think there is a massively exciting amount of development to be done in spac

This would be illegal. You have credibly expressed an intention to murder someone. However, if during your trial you could somehow prove that you had planned not to actually harm anyone, that would certainly reduce the severity of the cri

What’s your story for exporting from Google photos? I would happily use this service if it could automatically backup my Google Photos to protect me against the possibility of Google killing my accounts.

Pretty much any kind of rational or truthful reporting on the CCP is going to look like an attack on the CCP. And their overreactions and undisguised attempts to shut down all criticisms just make it worse, in an ever-deepening spiral where

These are the same thing. The policy is to remove educational disparity. Naturally force flows along the path of least resistance - rather than raising everyone up, which is hard, we are simply removing anything difficult from the curricul
