I'm not arguing that it's good, only that it's not as exploitative as the parent made it to be. Also, until now, the most questionable thing would be the 100 days in a circle one, and the reward is $500k. I think most people,

A lot of context lacks here. Is this in the workplace? In your life? As other commenters have said, sometimes being less opinionated isn't good. There are some core principles that you maintain strongly. But, if you really want to be l

Although TikTok is fairly addictive, I find it's far better at showing you content you actually like instead of outrage/emotional/clickbait content. It's very easy to get into niches you actually enjoy with actual decent

But irrevocability is a problem for this use case, right? Someone is bound to get hacked, lose keys or whatever, and then there's no way to actually prove, inside the blockchain, that it wasn't a legitimate transfer. Anyways, I th

I mean, if being secure requires an average person having an airgapped computer holding the wallet keys, it's not going to see much adoption. Also you can't really use it as a currency if you do that.

In my experience, about 30-40% of the reviews I've seen are a mix between "axe to grind" and "I have no idea what I'm talking about". Some are extremely blatant, such as reviewers "suggesting" you sho

Deployments depend on what you're deploying. A web app, maybe that's ok. A desktop application with automatic updates can be updated daily at most. Other products without automatic updates are probably better served with longer re

But you don't really need rebasing in this case, right? Merging the main branch into the feature branch would work too, and it's not too difficult.

Medication can make one healthy. It can cure, prevent or control many diseases and conditions. Of course it's better to not need that medication, but when you need it it's better to take it than not.

Jobs had a pancreatic cancer with a very good chance of complete cure via surgery and chemotherapy. I think that a cure would have been a happier ending than suffering and dying from pancreatic cancer.

The Whipple procedure in pancreatic cancer is usually only performed with curative intent. It's not a palliative treatment. I think most people, when faced with the possibility of getting a cure for pancreatic cancer (which, believe me

> very hot - about 35.5C or so, when you cannot dissipate heat with sweating. 30C is just uncomfortable but totally fine. That's not only subjective but also depends on humidity. 34º with high humidity can feel far hotter than 38º

And if I moved to a Fahrenheit country I wouldn't know what to wear when it's 60 degrees. That's the point, that both scales need some "getting used to". Fahrenheit is no more natural than Celsius in that regard, an

I've seen the temperature argument and it never has made sense to me. What does "very cold" and "very hot" mean? For me living in Spain, 40º is "very hot", but I've seen people living in northern coun

I'm honestly a little confused here. For starters, the "X considered harmful" clickbait title that doesn't actually talk about X but about a certain use of X to sell you an alternative tool feels weird. I also don't

Honestly, that's quite the list. From the title and even the home page, it looks like yet another dotfiles manager, but it looks like it can replace what I've gotten with half-baked scripts. Integration with password managers is g

A lot of modern cars have an automatic brake that keeps your car from going downhill in those situations. Some are smoother, some are weirder, but it works.

I know some developers test with VMs with emulated architectures, but it almost requires manual testing and seeing how things work. As you say, it's fairly impractical and impossible to scale, you can't really get too much useful

Well, the list says at the beginning that the point is to choose the questions that matter to you. On time alone, you probably can only ask 3-4 per interview. I've asked similar questions on interviews and the truth is that they reveal

This is a fairly limited point of view. For starters, you need to realize that the candidate is probably interviewing for more companies and having more offers. If the offers are similar enough, I might end up making a decision based on whi
