Sometimes a tool has been invented to do X but people end up using it for Y because it’s so useful. I think "!important" is a good example. Like duct tape being used for much more than attaching ducts.

Can anyone explain to me how much different the process to refine light & sweet is different from heavy & sour?

I use a framework even when it’s not 100% necessary because it’s easier to collaborate with other developers. The framework documentation and best practices helps a lot. What’s more, 5 years ago I started a simple app that didn’t require a

I also hate password emails. I use a password manager and find it much more efficient. However, I can see how this solution is interesting for small projects where users might create an account once and forget about it. I wouldn’t want that

If you could store Pi (3.14159..) with all its digits on your computer, it would contain all past and future revenge porn. I wouldn’t really make anything of it but I wonder what a judge might want to do.

Yes, of course, it’s not for all cases. One interesting thing though with gold is that it can be melted and reworked basically forever. This means that if you own gold today, your great-great-great-grandchildren could still be using it in 1

If it was that bad in the 40s, imagine now with a mountain of student debt. Money is more tempting than ever.

This. And I always laugh when people say gold has no value. It’s literally the best metal known to mankind. The reason why it’s not used much is because of its price.

They don’t want to emit greenhouse gasses because of a few kbs and they don’t want future people to deal with Vue.js. Talk about first-world problems…

Sorry, but none of this works - although it’s a fun thought experiment. It’s very hard to predict human behaviour and it’s impossible to know how things will unfold over time. Closing coal mines without having an alternative power source wo

In Canada you are not allowed on a commercial flight if you are not double-vaxxed. Not surprised to see a rise in people seeking alternatives.

I used the term “networks” and not blockchain purposefully. I wanted to mean that having thousands of decentralized nodes with such computing power is astounding. The blockchain technology is cool but I also believe it won’t be a revolution

I don’t know if you’re serious. Your username does check out at least. I also believe crypto itself is worthless. Only the networks behind them and actually providing a service (transaction validation) have some value. The question is: can

Exactly this. If you take your team from green to red without raising flags and asking for help, you will be frowned upon. It’s like pulling the fire alarm at the smell of burning toats. It will piss off people.

In real life it’s even worse. None of the suppliers actually show up, they ramp up the price and deliver a failing product. Then they all blame the previous guy.

I have always been baffled at how software companies start with few developpers who have this insane challenge: build an app from nothing, get traction, conquer the world. Then the company starts hiring like crazy and engineers pile on. How

Their methodology might have been flawed. The author is speculating. He uses Zillow to explain how datasets – especially the ones with money tied-in – can’t be trusted blindly. Building a high-quality dataset is an expensive endeavour.

You say that but if your debt is on credit cards at 20%, believe me, you don’t feel like inflation is your best friend. If you’re the government, it’s a very different scenario.

by human 5y ago
What is important is how much debt you have that cost you less than inflation. Governments and wealthy individuals have tons of 2% interest (or less) debt. Inflation at 4% erodes that debt pretty fast. The poor and middleclass have debt a

We mostly need to sue the hell out of companies that don’t identify correctly their customers when making important changes to their account (like transfering a phone number)!

I’ve mostly decided to take normal precautions and not to live in fear. I’ve also decided to wait for more information before getting vaccinated. I work from home and have little risk of contracting the disease. I’m taking a break on social

The day I realized the government and health officials are not telling me the full picture because they don’t trust me to act intelligently is when I completely stopped listening to their advice.
