I think perhaps the ability to distract ourselves with the internet means we're just worse at having painful conversations. The idea of the conversation overwhelms us causing "fight or flight" and we "flight" into d

I think the true use of physical gold is as a means of carrying wealth from a collapsing financial system to a new one. That is, it's not a hedge against inflation, it's a hedge against financial system instability/collapse o

I think the issue was in the old rules writers got paid very differently whether they created an original script vs working on an existing script. The fear was, studio's would use AI to generate a garbage script then pay a writer far l

You know that pretty much all large sites are tracking you and most smaller sites probably are too but they couldn't be bothered with the consent popup because nobody will ever enforce anything against them. Advertisers still do everyt

The vast majority of websites are probably small business websites which almost all run Wordpress. That number doesn't surprise me.

I think your comment comes off as "concern trolling" whether you intended it to be or not. And indeed we are now off the topic and discussing "going brr" instead of the subject.

Youtube is different from the web. You can't just be informative you have to be informative and entertaining. There are lots of channels that manage that, sometimes it's fun to watch a knowledgable person explain something or revi

You're not going to convince the wider public to wear masks forever. They're too annoying and they curtail too much of societal activity to be feasible. That's why even the country most dead set on their usage (China) is now

The wider public doesn't see the need for them and won't wear them even if the law states they should.

I think it's because all advice is useless without personal context and that personal context is "knowing yourself". If you know yourself, know that you're not wired to be a particularly ambitious person then this advice

I think a lot of games over the years have borrowed elements from DnD and so there's a massive audience out there of people primed to be interested in the real deal when it arrives. The fact it had such a great reputation from the fanb

It might ultimately be the banks who are in trouble. "For an office landlord, abandoning a building can be the best of bad options. Commercial mortgages on offices are usually structured as “nonrecourse” loans, which means that only th

They will and less information will be put into places that are freely accessible. If it's put anywhere at all it'll be put behind login only/paywalled/unscrapable places that LLM's can't access.

Yes, I suspect people saw a wall of text and went back to look for a shorter answer. I would guess google A/B tested those results till python.org fell off the front page. More to the point, I don't think either google or the peop

It doesn't seem like python.org answers the question very well? As in the implied question of "What is python __init__?" The returned sites do? If I google "php __construct" I get php documentation as the first resu
