Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Intelligence is being able to _consistently_ make accurate predictions of the future.

The main benefit is that markdown is really readable _without_ rendering. You don't need to edit and then open in a browser. You can comfortably read plaintext that has a little structure, while HTML adds some ceremony that makes it a

I consider 'fuck you' money to be enough that it'll last until you die, while living comfortably. This is still an amount that you burn through in a lifetime. Something _like_ 'financial independance, retire early'.

Give yourself more opportunities to latch onto the card. Instead of Name -> Birthday, try "X's birthday is in {month}", or "Y's birthday is the {N}th of January" or "Z's birthday is just before {so

They MAY have an X bias, but I think a much more generous interpretation is simply that they are highlighting which _alternative_ platforms BBC have given up on. Threads and Mastodon are both _alternative_ choices, with Twitter being the ma

I think it could much more fairly be read as "...out of alternate sources for real-time short-form communication, BBC has given up on Threads, but is sticking with Mastodon". Twitter/X is the 'default' and the assum

If you have a reasonably long `updatetime`, you could try something like `autocommand CursorHoldI * stopinsert`. On both vim and nvim, updatetime is 4 seconds, so if you have 4 seconds of inactivity that autocommand will automatically put y

It may be more than the _hosting_ cost, but what about the labour in actually generating that insight or maintaining and updating the content. Or what about recompense for, you know, providing such value in the first place? 'The bare m

If a result is incredibly hard to replicate, that's a good indicator that the effect is either so niche, or so small, that it's not actually telling you any details of the world worth talking about. If 'priming' only wor

Krashen is speaking with regards to languages. He doesn't expand on this to other fields. It may well be the case that 'comprehensible input' is enough for languages because we already _understand_ at least one language to a

I actually find it a helpful reminder. "People spout shit. Don't just blindly trust it". Otherwise, you end up chasing things, thinking they help, when there is little evidence backing it up other than someone's opinion.

It's very _easy_ to swerve at speed on a motorbike. In fact, it's part of the UK's motorbike license test ('hazard avoidance'). You are required to go through a speed trap at 50km/h+ and swerve approx 1m out of

I actually disagree strongly with (part of) this. Having a singular target menu I think is a good design decision (I used OSX in the past, but currently use windows+wsl at home, and linux for work). Having a singular menu position is consis

I get entirely what you mean, I just consider it naive utopianism. Dreams without any plan are just delusions. The system is going to continue on, for the near future at least. If you've got some plan to fix 'the current shitshow&

I didn't say you asked for it...I said you're going to get it either way, so make the best of a bad situation. Sticking your head in the sand just gives more opportunity for _you_ to get the worse outcome.

In the case that the greater of two evils wins, you are then complicit. The world isn't perfect. There will always be issues with candidates, because the world is messy and complex. If you chose not to vote for the lesser of two evils,

I hope a browser add-on comes along that just replaces all these blog posts with "Just use ChatGPT, lol". What do you mean by efficiency here...just getting an utterly shallow understanding of some random topic, trusting that some

The author links to their timer script, which links to what looks like dotfiles[1]. The author uses awesomewm (window manager), and loads the default font[2]. Default font is noto sans[3]. edit: add missing 'h' to start of ref 1.

If that's the case, your direction doesn't matter. You've got a task to complete. Your boss sets the direction and requirements. You might disagree with a 'new person's' implementation, but that's a disc

The initial paragraph talks about {author} creating a project and not putting it on github. That seems directly to me to be personal, and related more strongly to the idea that you have a direction for the project. The followup seems like a

It seems to me that the author is talking about _personal_ projects, and people coming in to hijack them...not about working as part of a 'team' in a company. Many of the replies here seem to conflate the two, which I think is eit

...and how do you imagine they do that (spend their time waiting for gig work by working minimum wage)? Work at McDonalds, and then walk out to go do an uber run? It's often claimed that the flexibility of gig work benefits workers to

I took the parent's comment to mean they would rather 'free' viewers leech off other people's bandwidth, as if they're not Premium and not watching ads, they are just consuming bandwidth and costing resources. If th

What's your solution for letting a citation be easily parsed within the flow of text? E.g. if I was reading an article and saw (Jmole et al 2020)--and was familiar with the field--I could easily continue on with an idea of what your pa

As an academic, I don't think this would stick as it makes it hard to refer to papers in a common way (if you're chatting with your team). Referring to something like the "Lin transformers paper" or the "Vaswani att

Companies told customers what they want, because they get to dodge regulations, thus more profit. Manufactured demand.

I'll try to find the source, but previously read that the reason SUVs are so popular is that there was some law that let 'utility vehicles' be taxed or something differently, so the manufacturers could make much more profit o

Then you have a very naive view of reality. People, society, 'facts and numbers' are complex machines, and don't exist completely separate from anything else. There isn't some disease that just comes along and flicks an

I would suggest looking at different tyre brands or models. I have been running tubeless (on road) for about the past 3 years...varying between 30mm and 42mm (gravel bike, but running basically slick tyres). Different tyres have different w

This seems willfully antagonistic and simplistic. There are degrees of effort in any lifestyle. Degrees of 'veganism', or 'anti-AI' use. Is there _really_ cognitive dissonance of someone doing some action to reduce their
