Although clearly bad, at the least in optics, this may also demonstrate how few evil company emails manage to find themselves in the news cycle. Just saying, you can’t possibly think this is even in the top 100, probably top 1000 of most ev

I went through a few stints in my late 20s when I literally didn't leave the condo for a span of 9 months, and at another point 6 months. It was within a span of a few years of deep social isolation. I had frozen meals delivered and le

I feel it’s worth giving credit to Python f-strings in that case. They blew my mind in terms of convenience vs printf.

In software we call this a bug. Just need the following unit test: ASSERT(!find_aliens()) And follow the stack trace(s) to eliminate the bug.

I’m tired of having subscribed to one of my favorite artists, then release radar gives me a horrible song by an artist who apparently took their name. Then when I hit dislike every single week and unsubscribe it still keeps giving me their

It seems to always give me the best songs first and last in the Discover Weekly and Release Radar auto generated playlists. But in the middle there are sometimes unbelievably ill suited songs for me. Maybe it’s the artificial intelligence a

So much angst. Cheer up, it’s the holidays and lots of your conservative peers are every bit as kind and decent as you think you are.

I’m about to turn 40 and have never felt less in crisis. Although I have never had any fear of my own mortality which could be what drives the crisis for many people. I also don’t tend to care much about what I’m “supposed” to do in life vs

There are many ways to be deeply evil, in some sense it’s just chance which style of evil any particular person grows attached to.

Hasn’t narcissism long been thought to have two forms: superiority and inferiority? Lots of behavioral overlap but basically opposite causality.

I never found the perfect note taking and/or scheduling software. So I wrote a Python script which combines several tools which together give me what I need. My entire life revolves around it, can’t imagine living without it anymore. G

I don’t mean to pile on China, but these things are a product of statistics. If you have a very large number of people culturally treating animals a certain way, the odds become high you’ll occasionally produce a virus like this. It isn’t a

Is there a way to pre-approve cookies for all sites? The law to require those pop ups has done more to ruin the web for me than ads have (since you can block ads).

It had a surprisingly hard time with grandfather clock. Although the fact that my clock is white, so I had to say they can sometimes be white, probably led it down the wrong path. It gave up eventually but then the first in the list of extr

The main takeaway here might be that two 25 year veterans both make function level and line level comments. The particulars are somewhat of a matter of flavor preference :)

I’m somewhat self conscious about the sheer volume of commits that I make. The reason there are so many is that I want each atomic unit to be distinguishable. Part of that is motivated by the will to save often in case something goes wrong.

For my tastes there is way too much whitespace and I usually only use multi-line comments to describe the high level algorithm for a full function. I prefer to pepper single-line comments which describe the sequence of events in a human-rea

In many places they aren’t even correlated due to changes in testing prevalence and other factors. So even saying “related” is only sometimes true and not in a way which is easy to distinguish.

Having an online network of professional contacts makes sense. LinkedIn has that. But on top of that it also has unbelievable amounts of toxic profit seeking garbage which makes us abhor the thought of even logging in. The network effect ma

The affect of the title seems to encourage dropping your daily dose of vitamin d, even though as you say it doesn’t conclude that is the best advice. Maybe my criticism is subtle but it seems important.

That’s the crux of the problem. Top tier academia and ethics both attract the absolute best and the absolute worst. So I suppose we need both the critical cynicism and the optimists in threads like these.

This seems complicated for various reasons. Can it be decriminalized federally but still criminalized at the state and/or city levels? I’m so confused by the whole subject, and don’t smoke anyway.

That’s very cool, although I’d imagine that several nations have much stronger quantum tech than what is made public. Hasn’t it always been that way?
