These feel like recipes for failure because it doesn't acknowledge that most people lack the ability to: A. Earn enough to employ these strategies B. Succeed at their "passion" in a meaningful way. Here is a more realistic ap

This stuff is terrible, but if it's framed around "what are the dark secrets of Americas national security agency." It is kinda pathetic. I am glad no Unit 731 level stuff has come out about the USA.

Yes it would happen in JS/python/etc as well once (2 * allOrbitFiles) > Memory. Cool fix I never think about my arrays being larger than memory haha.

Could you have achieved the same thing by just delete/free() the old arrays after copying them? I suck at manually allocating memory, have always worked in garbage collected languages where this wouldn't really be an issue.

Kids who have wealthy/involved parents that push them will always outperform kids who don't. The government can do whatever they want to try to equalize that (except encouraging parents to do better), I just hope they waste as lit

I don’t think we do fire suppression because we are too dumb to understand that unburned materials will build up. We do it because people live everywhere and it is challenging legally to tell people to evacuate their homes because we need t

Was it an intentional genocide? Or was it repetitions of human/neanderthal clashes that resulted in us wiping out male neanderthals and breeding with the females until their genetic contribution got reduced to current levels (~2% on th

Its true that other media outlets are doing it as well. Maybe each one believes they are manipulating and exploiting their audience in the "right" way? I wish we could get more Cronkite style anchors, who prided themselves on deli

Not to be pro-military or anti social programs, but the social programs are why we have a humongous debt. Military spending is ~12% of the budget? Social Security, Healthcare, Medicare and other social programs account for ~80%, so slashing

Visited Subway for the first time in ~10 years. Growing up their jingle was "$5 foot long" (this lasted til 2011 or so?). I figured there was no way a $5 price held, but I did not expect it to have almost tripled.

Thats kind of a crazy valuation to employee count ratio. 237 = 27% of company means they have ~850 or so employees for a company with an 11.7b evaluation. Seems off.

Managers who are well studied in management techniques are often unbearable to me. They lack the acting ability to pass off something they read as their genuine response, so it feels artificial and further divides us. It's like being c

This seems like a global phenomenon. What is happening? Is this related to globalization? It feels wrong to blame any countries internal policies when it seems to be happening in every country simultaneously.

its $799. Also if you are an apple fanboy you probably have a 13 or 14 which you can trade in to bring your total price to <$400. Not a crazy tab for something you use 40 times a day.

Why does it feel more exploitative in my brain to create an AI boyfriend to manipulate women than to drown men in pornography and sexual advertising.

I am really surprised more CEOs don't do this. If I got a business to a few million in recurring revenue it would be very tempting to slice expenses down to just maintenance mode, take a huge salary while riding it into the dirt for a

The ratings for those movies are so far away from how I felt about them (they all landed < 30% for me) it actually gives me an idea for a site. You rate movies. The consensus ratings you see are based on people who have rated movies simi

I dunno about SK but in the USA the road to kids was: partner up, get a stable income, find a home, start a family. The second and third links in that chain are broken for most people. The older generation wants to work into their 70s and

This seems better to me than sending an entire generation of young men to die miles away from home. I imagine if a nations automated robot army gets decimated by another robot army they will surrender immediately rather than send their citi

I've had covid 3 times. Would rather get it 3 more times than get the flu a single time. Other than paranoia about having it, the actual symptoms have been a mild to bad cold for all my family/friends.

I… don’t like this. You are basically saying we should take a name that conveys info about its content (companyName) and change it to something that contains none (pageTitle). I can tell if a field is being used for a page title by looking

You should really try something like NextJs, all the nightmarish parts of FE development are abstracted away. It makes me hopeful for a future where all the config files and tools are invisible and you just develop applications. All the TS,
