Everyone's "poo-pooing" the article because the title doesn't mention mice, but, FWIW, stories of gut biota affecting humans behavior have been documented for a while. Memory gain is noteworthy, which is the article&#x27

I agree with your statement, and cursive has extra benefits like leading to better hand strength and so on but outside of that, signatures aren't a good counter argument. Signatures aren't cursive, they're a curated, custom a

Ha! ^_^ That text is literally the only thing hardcoded. It's inside a PNG, sourced in. I get it though. Reproducing that cutesy "hand drawn" text would be a pain in the arse if you didn't just have the font.[1] [1

I gave a bunch of details of my personal history to a verification service thinking naively that it would be used to prove I was me. Instead, they didn't know much about me apparently and just stored what I told them. Then it appears t

Feature request - be able to change the text and re-share it. Half the fun of this xkcd is referring to it in context of whatever just went haywire.

The "Helping You Not Become Your Parents" commercials (from some insurance company I think) make me sad. They're basically making fun of people for trying to connect. I'm in a spot where I don't really bump into str

I'm curious too but the phrase "random is clumpy" comes to mind.

> that makes labour effectively cheaper. But it isn't cheaper yet, right? Your current salary was defined pre-AI. Now, though, maybe you're only worth a third of what you were but you can't live on a third, and your employ

I honestly didn't feel like the article even feigned rigor. It felt like some parent's personal blog ruminating on an idea, not an "article". Claude followed links on a single Wikipedia article and visualized the results

A few days ago there was a discussion about how Singapore forces their people to save and invest in bonds. The country makes money on the difference between the daily/compound rates and it keeps their workforce working. In other words,

Arg. What's the quippy internet adage for this? Where someone (traditionally in a FOSS project's support / bug report / feature request pages) posts some angrygram of "Fix my pet peeve OR ELSE YOUR PROJECT IS DEAD T

We avoid catastrophe by thinking about new developments and how they can go wrong (and right). Catastrophizing can be unhealthy and unproductive, but for those among us that can affect the future of our societies (locally or higher), the re

I've flipped that switch for book adaptations. I let go of fanboying on what Hollywood "did to" the story and instead just decided to be thankful something I love was given a new medium / audience / interpretation..

With Access, a business doing data entry could -- with a business user not a software engineer -- craft a Form and voila, easy onboarding to train new employees instead of filling out sheets of paper and filing them.

IMO for a cartoon like W&G a little wonkiness and skew is entirely on-point.

That's not a fair statement. Every institution (let's say - my household) sweeps problems under the rug. It's the euphemism for problems that aren't worth dealing with. Institutions (in the form discussed) are either rei

Cute, but that's an ineffective belittlement of his argument, not only because it's irrelevant but because he covers that even in the abstract: > Purpose-driven institutions [...] empower individuals to take intellectual risks

Helping people is 100% my love language. My SIL queues up household tasks when I come over. "Hey I got this new thermostat, can you help me put it on?" kinda stuff that she could do herself but she knows that's what makes me

Tut tut, judgemental one. The point is the sharing - with us - let's not discourage that. After all, if he didn't feel foolish for it, he wouldn't've held it in his memory, and thus wouldn't've shared it with u
