Having been myself on grand juries for drug prosecution and subsequently reading more about the process, this is not just a baseless assumption. Including carrier weight is SOP from police+DA for drug charges, and they're not upfront a

Marginal cost is often not a good way to evaluate things. A person who focuses only on marginal cost will say "It only took you an hour to make that" while discounting the decades of training it took to be able to. A person who fo

I have a theory that modern Excel forces the display to redraw too much. It's the only thing I can think of that would cause my 2018 MBP CPU to peg at 100% while (jankily) resizing the window on my external monitor unless I play games

America is a very large nation, and it has more people in it than almost any other. It's also, as an aggregate average, wealthier than almost any other nation. And at the same time, most people inside it are not individually wealthy en

If it makes anyone feel better, most U.S. citizens have _never_ had access to any part of the world because they've been too busy barely making ends meet working dead-end jobs with no healthcare or vacations. So, in the grand scheme of

Except that this idea is always a farce. People talk about cost of living as though it doesn't vary wildly within a city from neighborhood to neighborhood.

I don't consider it offensive. I consider it vague and euphemistic. It happens with all non-specific language. The word "problematic" is vague; it doesn't say anything about what the problems are, just that someone think

What is "parameter mono set to min. 0.5" and where do you find that? [edit: Oh I see. It's not on the linked page but on the font's homepage.]

HN's gonna HN. I try not to worry too much about it.

"Problematic" is a kind word for cherry-picked, misinterpreted, hypergeneralized, and contrary to available evidence with a hefty dose of noble savage xenoromanticism thrown in.

I think so, and I think they ("Jorbs", not the commenter) said a dumb thing. They're saying that winnable is bad when it's actually good. Being able to win or at least not die[0] is a pretty big precondition for being fa

I think you're misunderstanding and getting caught up on my use of the word chance. "Chance" here means that winning is not foreclosed. If you prefer, let's change it to "opportunity". A winnable playthrough is

"100% winnable" just means that you have a chance of winning if you do the right things at the right times in relation to what's happening in the game. Nobody wants to play a game that they don't even have a chance of wi
