It isn’t an unbounded problem, and we aren’t powerless. Our bodies even have mechanisms to handle copy faults, either destroying the rouge or repairing the damage. There are gaps and holes, but our bodies are not naive to the problem (which

Fragmentation is often cited as a fundamental cause of Android’s shortfalls, which doesn’t seem like a minor impact. Fragmentation turns out OK when there are strong convergent forces pruning unsuccessful branches or pulling them back into

Espresso is different from other coffee types. There is a tight sweet spot where all the variables are just right, and you get amazing coffee. Espresso equipment is therefore all about making the variables easier to control, because you can

It seemed ridiculous on the face of it, but with time people started to find kernels of insight in the idea. The idea itself has a certain sultry allure. That probably helped keep it wedged in the back of the mind long enough to find those

A good hobby is one that follows the arc commonly seen in movies. Crushing defeat, hopelessness, despondency, perseverance, great triumph. I don’t think I’ve stuck with any hobby that you just do aimlessly.

I try to reason about this a lot, and the trouble is everything I aspire to do happens across decades. Nothing that can be accomplished in a day or a week seems satisfying.

We also inherently expect most people play by similar rules as we do. For example, we anticipate other people have a conscience and feel bad when others suffer. Our interactions with others are partly based on this. However, for example a p
