Your artillery fires on my THOR but its projectiles are taken out by my C-RAM. Your artillery’s position is noted by my ISR overhead. Your artillery is destroyed by my longer-range artillery. Your 200 cheap drones attempt to attack but are

You assume that a novel virus is as bad as it can get. We might be wishing for 2020 if war in Europe, banking crises, inflation, or layoffs get any worse. I think for a lot of people, COVID was an eye opener that the world can indeed go off

Extremely scammy company. Not surprised. They take credit card information first, then do a questionnaire, then tell you if services for you are available in your area. If they aren’t, you’re still charged and they make it extremely difficu

Yep, and if you click the three dots next to the debugger config selector on the top left, you can access the debug console and play with a live terminal with access to all of the variables and data that are currently paused.

Hah, that is indeed a good description of most “Data Science” work. At the end of the day, the point of corporate analytics is to provide actionable insights to improve a company’s profitability. Descriptive analytics are the lowest form of

Seconding this. Take Tableau off of your resume unless you want to be a dashboard monkey (sorry, “BI Developer”). Dashboards != analytics, but lots of companies seem to think they do. I would suggest looking at the Certified Analytics Profe

Not sure I follow. Sounds like the aquifer was depleted, so they decided to add more water to the aquifer. From where did they get the water to recharge the aquifer?

I'm having trouble believing that figure. I read the article, not the study, so shame on me for that. 11% of Americans will make, at some point, over $300k per year? That is an obscene amount of money. I cannot believe that 1 in 10 peo

You could describe MLK’s protests as disruptive, causing gridlock, damaging to businesses, etc. BLM protestors danced on and destroyed statues as well. The whole point of protest is to be disruptive. Being anti-vax is super stupid but prote

Well executed FOMO ad, complete with time pressure and competition. Parallels how to promote crypto to the public. 1) "What is it?" 2) "I don't know." 3) "Other people are doing it." 4) "What if I mis

Just wanted to add here for anyone considering St. John’s wort - it has a ton of negative interactions with lots of very common drugs, so check to make sure you aren’t already taking something that will interact with St. John’s wort. Ask yo

Well, they sold out over 800 Olive Gardens at $20 each, so that's $16k off of a joke. Good for them.

I have read that brake pedal locks are actually more effective. Those steering wheel clubs are easier to cut off, compared to trying to get a saw down in the footwell to cut off something under the brake pedal. Without being able to depress

Can't you just click "15 more minutes"? I find the iOS screen time limit to be worthless for this reason (as pointed out in the article).

I almost never work without an external monitor (or two), so the laptop screen is really just for chat and email for me. Honestly anything below 20 inches is too small to be usable for serious work in my opinion. Hunched over a little scre

That’s the notation for an analogy. A is to B as C is to D. For example, Fins:Fish::Feet:Humans, or Green:Trees::Blue:Water.

Even if only one external display is run? That’s a bummer. Having a high refresh rate laptop screen with a 60hz monitor is not good.

Wow. Do you daily drive the ‘60s vehicles? That’s an impressively old vehicle if it’s driven regularly. Still cool even if it’s just a collectible.

Penalizing the unvaccinated is currently proposed to happen through their employer, with loss of employment (loss of being able to provide for one’s family) being the main incentive. I am proposing a more direct penalty, which is only put i
