That’s a completely delusional viewpoint. Russia can claim to need anything it wishes to, but that doesn’t entitle it or a resistance-free conquest. Russia invaded another sovereign country, which is obviously the thing that is costing all

You make the decision based on your priors: the conditional probability of the prize being behind a certain door is updated by the new information. The information content of that update can certainly be affected by your knowledge of his co

Hmm, you are right. If the host chooses randomly, we get this tree: - 1/3 it is behind your door - 1 host picks a goat - switching always loses -> 1/3 chance of losing - 2/3 it is behind one of the other two do

The choice happens after the door is opened. If in this variant you are allowed switch to the revealed prize door, you win 100% of the time the prize turns out to be behind the door they open. If you aren't allowed, you lose 100% of th

This is a weird framing. “Prolonging the war is a US strategy” only makes sense if you believe Russia has an unassailable right to conquer Ukraine. If Russia wants to stop the war, it need only withdraw its forces. The US is only prolonging

I wish people would also stop publishing water bottles as AUR packages. They never fit through my modem.

I guess I’m not sure what you want though. If you want to render things dynamically, that dynamism has to live somewhere. And wherever that is, it’s possible to abuse. For example, what does “fill in the data” really mean? For a non-trivial

I almost did this in a literature class. I think it was the second day of the class, and we'd read James Joyce's "An Encounter". The prof read aloud sections of a published analysis of the story -- out of some big tome -

This doesn’t really make sense. The article isn’t flipping you off. It’s an implied fictional website designer flipping off hypothetical impaired users, as a metaphor for what these design decisions might imply if done in earnest. It’s har

I suspect the film critics themselves would disagree with that take. Imagine a film a generative AI would make on based on those desiderata. The critic might agree the film is, as you put it, technically well made, but they could at the sam

What’s weird is that American higher courts are often quite good at eviscerating this kind of nonsense, usually by pointing out that such a “workaround” would make the constitutional amendment toothless, and it was not meant to be toothless

Doesn’t sound like she actually stalked anyone. She’s using the term colloquially to mean “I spent time browsing a stranger’s social media profile”, which is a common usage.

So timely. This (and the replies) are just what I needed. I am 40 and getting back to chess. I was never really good to begin with (I think I was in the 1400s in high school) and I’m quite awful at chess now. But my 7yo has become obsessed

> buying up DEI coins and exchanging them for $1 worth of collateral Doesn’t seem like this would be possible? When the peg fails, wouldn’t all the people holding the coin flood the redemption process, immediately draining it of all USD?

I didn’t follow that at all. That page shows the change in stock price for the companies, not the unrealized gain/loss from short positions. That doesn’t tell us how their portfolio has performed, but it suggests they have a good trac

You'll ship your org chart whether you try to or not. There are two questions: a) will you architect your software to make this process (relatively) efficient? and b) to what degree are you willing to change your org chat to improve yo

"Fast enough" is sort of complicated. There isn't really a fast enough, per se, just an amount of effort you're willing to put in vs some amount of efficiency gain you get for it. We all hit some point at which more effo

I’m not trying to convince you to change editors —- it’s a highly personal choice —- but you might be interested in a couple thoughts from someone who’s used practically every editor under the sun but uses neovim by default: - the main valu

You have this backward. There being more at stake is precisely why we need better oversight and accountability.

For me it's someone opens a jar or other food container with a seal -- like the little layer of plastic of foil between the lid and the food -- and instead of removing the seal completely, they just peel it back enough to get at the fo

It’s like any other job requiring specialized skills. Imagine a plumber came over to your house and did a bunch of stuff, and when he was done, there were a bunch of weird pipes running through your house and you could hear water gurgling i

This is moving the goalposts: "it's inappropriate for you to have an opinion" vs "you are a powerless peon, so ha". Also, I don't know what you mean by "in theory"; government by the people is very mu

While this makes sense, my experience is that you end up with just a handful of dependencies for your actual product (“dependencies” in NPM parlance), but a whole herd of them for your build toolchain (“dev dependencies”). This happens beca

A friend of mine got into a Rubik’s Cube in college. As a prank, we swapped the stickers on his cube and were amazed when he noticed it in a few seconds and correctly identified what was swapped. Familiarity with the invariants

This is my approach almost to a T. Managing upward, be direct and take personal responsibility for saying something with friction. Only use we when taking credit. This what your bosses want; their egos are secure but they don’t have time to
