It is weird, but any discussion on safety is in vain: we will NOT wear helmets. Period. Increasingly, it has become mandatory to wear helmets on the several varieties of slow motorized vehicles like scooters. I think we're now down to

Too much fluff. Keep it simple. A good PM can clearly articulate what is to be build and why. In my experience, the why is often completely lacking. Zero research. Shady A/B tests with unclear conclusions. Pretty much the "why&quo

As many commenters have mentioned (as does the article) hierarchical tags are a pain, if not an impossibility to get right. Related tags, though, can be done on the cheap and are surprisingly powerful, fun and cool under the right condition

"The fact that people think that they should have any inherent trust of anything you see or hear (especially online) in the first place is a severe negative". This is inherent of our species. The idea that you should distrust anyt

Really? I thought it was high inflation triggering consumers into savings mode. And monetary tightening destroying investments.

The article is a mess. It suggest that all people are intellectually curious as children, after which this curiosity is destroyed in the education system. It provides zero evidence for this sweeping conclusion. Education not being very fun

"The middlemen said they worked with agencies affiliated to TikTok in China and the Middle East, who gave the families access to TikTok accounts. These agencies are part of TikTok's global strategy to recruit livestreamers and enc

You might try and read the article. They reported it, it did nothing. Only when the BBC got involved did they take any action. "Don't want it" -> they have middlemen directly connected to Tiktok actively helping to set thi

This is the thing that so many people miss. New buyers want lower prices yet when that actually happens, new construction stops. Thus creating a massive backlog and shortage for the future, leading to the next bubble.

Well, no, it isn't. Clearly you don't do old people tech support. Passkey? What's that? New word thus meaning unclear. Doesn't seem to ask for an actual pass-anything, so more confusion. No email identifier or thing to r

It's funny, this divide between the old world and new world. The old world has a heavy emphasis on computer science itself, theoretical correctness, long term thinking. It has led to the role of the careful software architect, design p

What 'maintenance' goes into symlinks that already exist? The only thing one needs to do is nothing at all. It is in fact more 'maintenance' to delete them.

I'm noticing very little discussion about the user aspect, and I say that with non-savvy users in mind. I run a mid-sized web app/community where I've been supporting such users for a long time. Right now, I offer a classic l

Fully true. Also people considered well educated gravitate towards convenience, not truth. It's a fundamental characteristic of our species: to seek immediate short term benefit and to avoid discomforts. You can escape it by training y

Agreed. I think the biggest problem is that category I mentioned: skepticism on the basis of simply not liking the scientific conclusion, because it negatively affects me. This lazy skepticism has been suppressed for good reasons, but proba

Or an association/placebo thing. My brother and I once accidentally gave our dad NA beer. He didn't know. We soon realized it yet kept giving it to him all night. Bizarre, he actually got "drunk". Slower talking, ever mo

Yes, one should be skeptical of "the science says so" or "one specific expert says so". It's very much a mindset to embrace. But it doesn't really work that way, the cost of good faith skepticism is so high as

Think of the economy as a machine that needs to keep going. It doesn't really care about what keeps it going for as long as it keeps going. In fact, it doesn't even care about the production of value either. You'll see this i

It makes sense that when you take consumption into overdrive, you don't gain much happiness. You can pay a 1000$ for a meal, but it won't taste a 100 times better than my 10$ meal. You can build a house with 20 bedrooms but you ca

Not sure if that's true. Every single study on this topic concludes that women date upwards whilst men are far more flexible. It's a dynamic as old as our species is. But I do very much agree with your overall point that this is a

No, your designer sucks. Don't reinvent well known controls. Stop doing it. You can give it a border color and an accent color (check out the new accent-color CSS property) and for the rest you leave it alone.

The examples you give are a 100% fit for the SPA model. Nobody would build Google Docs or a game from server-side HTML. That's not the discussion. The discussion is everything except that. The typical example being a CRUD app. A bunch

This is why when you buy a car, you go in with a person that knows cars. Or consult them whilst you browse online. Be frugal with options/extras. Don't show excitement. If you're poor at negotiating, try the brute force appro

It can be even cheaper. Midjourney, in case you appreciate their output, has an unlimited plan for 30$ a month. The only limitation is that if you're an extremely heavy user, they may "relax" you, which means results come in

We don't disagree here. There's merit in taste. At the same time I'm painting the macro picture where most artistic labour is of a commercial nature. Where output is leading as long as it is good enough to serve the purpose:

It depends on what you mean, detection of specifically a deep fake, or the detection of AI involvement in image creation in general? Detection of a deepfake, for example a generated photo of a person of something that never actually happene
