All former US presidents who died in the 21st century died well over the age of 90. Don't underestimate what access to the best medical care in the world will do, regardless of your lifestyle.

I have a somewhat popular (yet still niche) app in the store, when I first launched it it was the only result. There are now a number of copycats. Report filed with Apple, nothing was done. I’m considering spending the $1k or so to file a t

Plenty of bad things that are no fun (microplastics, air pollution, pesticides in food, ...) that are near impossible to escape, so don't deprive yourself of the fun stuff (with moderation).

They are not within 10% of each other when you consider human mortality rates. Ie if you live to 100, you do not have 10% chance of living to 110. Eg this study says: "Three percent of females and 1% of males in the 2019 birth cohort,

Most of the pogos don't require the full diagonal range, you can just trigger the attack when you're really close to the target, which makes it almost a regular downwards jump.

Everyone repeats this, but is there any information that confirms it? Yes, it started as a DLC for Hollow Knight - but the devs have known for the past 5 years that it would be a standalone sequel. Is there any evidence that they designed i

Why would you expect opinion pieces from different people to agree with one another? I’m curious about exploring the topics “What if the war in Ukraine ends in the next 12 months” just as much as “What if the war in Ukraine keeps going for

Oh yeah, my experience IRL in Japan is that 80% of Japanese learners are Chinese (and 15% are from other Asian countries, eg Thailand/Vietnam/Korea/India/Pakistan).

Heh, at that level the job is just meetings and emails. You can do 996 of meetings and emails for a few millions a year without burning out. Actual craft tasks like writing code tho? Definitely a recipe for burnout and shittier output, yep.

Notch, Carmack, Spolsky may have engineering in their skillsets, but they are also product (game) designers and executives (and world class ones at that). I don’t think that’s really what people want when they’re looking to hire an engineer

As I understand it, "return" is a shorthand for "carriage return" - as on typewriters, going to a new line meant returning the carriage to its original (start of line) position.
