"When the compassionate revolution came, he wrote, it would 'mark the termination of the past 50,000-year epic of evolution.'" This is one of the scariest sentences I think I've read in recent memory. We are living

This reads like a pre-COVID startup story and I find that refreshing despite the slight Silicon Valley (the show) vibes.

Disclaimer: I don't know how space modules are welded or what forces act on a space module. Welds fail for multiple reasons - heating too fast, cooling too fast, material defects, human error, equipment issues, oxidation. The best huma

If you are in a remotely suburban area, a 10' tall post near the compost pile will act as a raptor perch and take care of most of your issues. Alternately, a "hot" compost setup generally is not amiable to rodents or other ma

We studied the Gaia hypothesis in college, and, mirroring the article, it really is a "it is what you make of it" type of hypothesis. A room of ~20 people had 6-8 different ideas about the meaning and outcome of the hypothesis.

Google shares an enormous part of the blame for this. We were on the cusp of a semantic web 13 years ago. But the Ad supported Internet can't persist if the Internet is content. So we have 2024's crapfest.

Facebook has a very thorough code review process, and their product is heavily data driven. They've even productized their code review process internally, and that product is also data driven.

> Decentralize decision-making authority as much as possible. Remove barriers in their way, slash approval layers, attack dependencies. This is awful advice. You can only operate in this mode for at best 2-3 months before your entire SDL

We moved from sprints back to work queues for exactly this reason. Output is exactly the same but no one is cutting corners to "finish" the sprint. We still use a kanban and do estimation the same exact way, but rather than arbitr

Onlyfans is more than porn. DMs with your "star" (her assistant), exclusive content, and other parasocial interactions create a kind of connection that is a lot deeper than just porn. When you can combine that experience with AI g

I wish they had done this for altruistic reasons, but I doubt it. Unity is still better than Godot in a lot of ways (mainly the support ecosystem), but by March that might be different. Godot is catching up quickly. It has more momentum beh

If a dev can put in 30 solid hours of fingers to keyboard work in a week, they are already outperforming most of their peers. I've been a startup manager for 12+ years and I can count the number of times I've asked someone to work

The US is in desperate need of a labor movement. The Democrats dance with the UAW and are deeply tied to the AFT/NEA, but most labor unions in the US are getting the crap beat out of them and both parties turn a blind eye. It's go

A Hershey bar is like a dollar. You can find good chocolate bars for $2-3 and there's no real difference between a $7 chocolate bar and a $20 chocolate bar (unless you're buying it right at the chocolatier). The cost of "upgr

For those who don't want to read, they distill the cacao juice, mix it with the pureed husk, and then use that instead of sugar in the chocolate. The process is more expensive than using sugar itself, which is the cheapest part of choc
