I am confused. Who says credentials only apply to undergrads?

Don't confuse the credential factory with the skills and quality of the underlying students. Harvard is little more than a toll booth for students who were already smart and over-achieving. It's not like the teaching is extraordin

He has at most 3 to 6 months to get this sorted. After that a recession is all but guaranteed. His voters may not own stocks, but the people who own stocks are responsible for a huge part of consumer spending, and when they cut on spending,

I don't know the exact numbers but it is consistent with other stuff I heard (notably the Brett Easton Ellis podcast which I recommend). Script writers churn a lot of scripts, many of them get bought but never produced. Or sit as a pro

Actually I did. Saw some kids just googling an exercise question instead of googling the topic. Trying to find the answer to the question while avoiding to understand the underlying topic.

It's going to be interesting to see the AI generation arriving in the workplace, ie kids who grew up with ChatGPT, and have never learned to find something in a source document themselves. Not even just about coding, about any other kn

In fact as a configuration file, spreadsheets are a much superior UI, you can change lots of numbers very quickly if your config is tabular in nature. Whether it is a good idea that what you type should modify a prod environment live is a d

In C# the quasi mandatory async/await for everything has many downsides, particularly for debugging. It breaks all stack traces. It also makes it impossible to pause the code.

I remember a surgeon who does a lot of transplantation (and where they have to check DNA for compatibility), telling me that it also depends a lot on which child. The first child is almost always from the father. Second child a bit less. Th

That's just not the case. Look at every conflict of the past 50 years. Major powers trade very carefully against a nuclear armed nation. Which by the way largely explained Biden's tepid military support to Ukraine, giving them jus

No country will risk its own annihilation to defend the borders of another country. That's why de Gaulle left NATO in the first place, he didn't want anyone else's finger on the french nuclear button than his own, he didn&#x2

Why more dangerous? I am worried about religious fanatics armed with nuclear weapons. I am not really worried about Germany, South Korea, Japan or Taiwan armed with them. The more deterence, the less likely there will be a war. You go to wa

From a practical point of view, I think anyone who has written any substantial amount of code is aware of the cost of context switching. Now picture a diary where you have 5 to 10 meetings a day with 30min free slots in between, and staying

It is also pleagued with high taxes, something the tory party did nothing to address. And labour seems to think the solution is more taxes, and oh surprise, this hurts the economy further.

Doesn't mean you go back all the way up. And I don't know if the resistance wears off if you stop taking it. What I am hoping is to end up in an end state where I can keep the weight within a 5-7kg range and go on the drug for 2-3

Hum, I don't know, here in the UK, no one is forcing you to do anything. I am free to chose if I want to step up, down or stay on the current dosage every month. And I took the cautious approach to only step up when I stopped feeling t

Same for me, I don't recognise those symptoms (loss of taste, loss of impulses). My understanding is that all it does it to replicate the signal the stomach sends when it is full, and so you just feel full / a bit burpy, even on a

I am 8 months in, you do develop a tolerance over time to the drug (and why you need to increase the dosage progressively). I have gone up slower than the prescibed steps but still, this drug is to help doing diets, I don't think it wo

Not sure I agree with the article. 1) Making a loss doesn't prevent you from paying a dividend. Dividends aren't paid from the current year's profit, but from retained earnings, i.e. from accumulated profits since the creatio

But also when you make cuts, you go hard, fast, and recover from there. Any effort of small trimming over a long period achieves no saving while producing the same negative publicity. I doubt such cutting effort will happen for another 30y.
