Would you say the people fell for the Metaverse? I saw Zuck pushing it and everybody making fun of it throughout it's existence. NFT bubbled up, even if only short-lived. Crypto is still bubbling sometimes I guess. Metaverse...? Cricke

The more markets worldwide connect to balance out local weather issues the more predictable the outcome. The problem however is international cooperation when there's global shortages.

Don't buy Nestlé then? I'm also not doubting that some products went up by 50%. My point is rather that most products I buy have remained surprisingly stable in price.

My point is rather, if she had invested all her money back then and if she never used any of it she would have a similar amount of money now without insider trading. Most people don't lump sum in the market like that, it probably ignor

Designers really like to nerd out about typefaces because it's such a minute detail that average people don't notice. And because they like to nerd out so much about it, they put more effort into it.

My energy bill is up from 32 c per kWh pre-pandemic to 37 c per kWh now. Gasoline was 1.79 yesterday and was about 1.70 pre-pandemic. Food prices have risen, but some more some less, but 50% seems too high. But maybe Germany is different.

Apparently SSRIs and SNRIs. Drugs that act on similar brain circuits. Maybe the pharmaceutical companies should study these interactions more and have the warnings printed there.

The question is rather if there's sufficient evolutionary pressure to rule this out. It led to a handful of people dancing till they die, ok, but maybe only in a dense urban setting which wasn't an issue before. Maybe that gene co

The opposite to this: sum types (enums with values). You have all the logic in one place, and if you forget to handle a case in most languages you're forced by the compiler to be explicit.

I don't even think the syntax is too weird. It's terse, but it's also small enough to remember most things you need, if you regularly use it to search for stuff. Regex everywhere isn't what makes Perl hard to read IMHO.
