I think his attitude of quality and direct feedback is good and definitely contributed to the success of his projects. But even so, why can't we still call him out on his callous and offense delivery? There are better ways of saying wh

Linus is such an asshole. It's not even cute or funny. He's just an ass.

I'm interested in chatbots for learning foreign languages. In that scenario I really don't care how dumb the conversation is, just that it's grammatically correct. Does anybody know of such a service?

This would be a terrible study to try to ascertain the impact of the internet on mental health. You would be comparing two populations who are completely different in many many ways.

This is great advice, I often use programming to distract myself from some pain or other. It can be a useful tool but can also become a long-term avoidance which isn't healthy.

There are a couple of language features in Python that I thought were cool when I discovered them, but actually have never ever find a need for them in my code. The first is using an "else" clause in a "for" loop, and th

I'm no ML expert, but my understanding is that the bias is usually in the training data, not the model. The idea here is that you can generate bias-free "garbage" and therefore reduce the bias of the trained model

I've never seen PEP582 until now, but it looks concerningly short. It doesn't discuss tradeoffs, alternatives, and is nowhere near comprehensive enough in its examples. It just doesn't seem very thoroughly thought through...

Soy is exported at about 380 USD per ton, and yield is something like 3 tons per hectare. I'm not sure how much the farmer doing the deforestation gets though. But deforesting the Amazon is sadly very cheap. Much cheaper than it should

Very true that it's focused on just a few companies. Mostly JBS: they are massive. However while these companies take the lion's share of the profit it is poor people who are doing the deforestation to improve their standard of li

It's surprising but true that shoes come out top! A breakdown is hard to come by because supply chains are proprietary information but see this article: https://medium.com/trase/european-and-us-companies-need-defo.

A lot of the people doing deforestation in the Amazon are incredibly poor, and deforestation is the only option to them to increase their standard of living. However, to say we are preserving the Amazon as a "landmark" is not quit
