The TSA is definitely the worst innovation of the last 20 years. Additional to that, lost luggage, missed or delayed flights, expensive changes - and I will still happily get on a plane without a second thought whereas I may have abandoned

I don’t prewash and it works pretty well. The problem is if bits of food sit overnight in the washer they spoil and make the whole wash stink.

I do think this is relevant to the conversation. I don’t copy/paste code from SO but there is sometimes inevitable duplication because sometimes there is only one right way to do something! Copyright can stray into the case of the ridi

Only in part - and it would certainly not be “just fine”. Edge is pretty nice nowadays. It’s the tactics to promote it as the default - now and in the past - that have drawn so much scrutiny. And IE did used to be objectively inferior to th

And yet the experience of Safari on iOS is overall pretty good. I think I would not hate the Edge experience quite so much if it did not shove MSN content in my face, display a garish bing search page, and aghressively promote their browser

I have had so many of the same thoughts! Therapy has benefitted me greatly over the years and I have definitely grown from the experience. It has also helped me sort out the aspects of my life that therapy can help me address, and those are

Living debt free feels great, and is a huge privilege. Debt is perhaps the biggest economic driver humans have invented. It gives people leverage they would not otherwise have. College. Small business. Home improvement. Of course there is t

This is particular, specifically problematic territory. I cannot imagine handing over proprietary data to a third party without a contract in place for how that data is stored and used. It’s not about innovation, it’s about using someone el

I was confused by the tone, this helps explain it. It comes off as a relic from another age, other people doing the equivalent of investigative journalism nowadays don’t typically use phrases like “our investigation revealed.” It really bre

You find all kinds of approaches in the Eastern traditions. Buddha rejected the eternalism and theism of the Hindus, but most of his teachings were really quite similar. The yoga sutras emphasized asana prior to the practice of dhyana. Go f

There is a famous Dijkstra quote, “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.” Do the intrinsic properties of the system really matter at the end of the day if it p

I recently found one on Spotify that is 10 hours long. If you find a shorter one just put the track on repeat and up the cross-fade to like 3s.

I have lived this too. Likewise ask culture can only be healthy if there is not a power imbalance: is the asked party really free to say no? The title is catchy but I’m not sure how useful this dichotomy really is.

Says it right there: CuS. You should read the whole thing, it’s really well-written and thorough.

“Therapy” provides many modalities, and generally they are based on pathology, which I feel is very limiting when you look at the broad scope of psychological wellness. One niche which it can end up filling is that of the (paid) friend. If

I see no reason to believe this will actually be the case based on anecdotal evidence from folks I know who have tried out the early module implementations. I’m hoping they are wrong, but I do not think that modules or anything else is goin

Lots of men are hooking up with some rotation of four women semi-regularly, yes. A lot of those women are doing the same. Not necessarily all at once, but that too. There are plenty of people who date casually like this without labeling it

Where I live, Tinder is mostly millennials looking for long term relationships. I suspect younger people have mostly migrated to social media, I hear a lot about using insta as what is effectively a dating platform, and is certainly a bette

For clothing, baking soda is remarkably effective at eliminating odors, which I assume means it has some antibiotic properties.

Yes but it is changing in very specific and problematic ways with well understood causes that are at least partly under our control. We do not understand it perfectly but we don’t need to.

Instead of composing libraries into an executable you can use containers to compose services into an application [0]. As noted in the sibling comment, this still can have a high utility for just a single workstation/service. Also as yo

I am in the top 10% and live quite comfortably in a house I own, provide for two children, and have some disposable income. I would say I live a similar quality of life that my art professor father did, who was making ~$35/yr over most

Do you not talk to your coworkers and understand how they spend their time? This should come first. Maybe they spend half their time socializing. Maybe your code is voluminous but ridden with subtle bugs, and your teammates are spending mor

Why should prices be the same? Airlines are private companies in an already heavily regulated industry with thin margins and high operational costs. It may be nice to have something more like public air transit, but we can’t even figure tha

I know someone who landed six months in federal prison for doing just that, and a multi-million dollar civil suit for underpaying those workers. The penalties for failure here are pretty steep.

It really depends on the comments. Best practice is to comment “why” something was done, not “what” is being done, or “how”. Every programmer can read code, most code should be pretty self-explanatory. But in any sufficiently complex routin
