The trend right now is AI, which is mostly written in Python. Most people want to write their whole stack in 1 language, whenever possible. So people just default to Python servers and React clients. There is tooling like Carton being devel

The FT has a notorious problem with trolls, if you’re looking for an example. I suspect all manner of agencies are looking to influence the rich and powerful in their newspaper of choice. Every article is filled with whatabouts and wedges.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Org Mode and Emacs have been a revolution in how I interface with my computers. It’s the closest we have to a BMI as long as your hands are dexterous enough. In the spirit of equine metaphors, I would only add

A successful political system is more about surviving to the next round of the game than scoring highly in any particular round. And voting usually boils down to choosing between what makes you sick and what kills you. Politics is certainly

I would submit that it’s influencing the public discourse, since it’s being reported in the Standard and now we are contesting the issues in these comments. Public discourse affects politics, and politics affect our lives. Some people think

The “tech bro” angle of critique is getting stale, although I understand the reasoning. People are fine with those who solve problems. It is the people who modify the set of problems they must deal with that upsets them, even if the problem

One phenomenon I don’t think psyop brigades seem to have caught on to, is that by flooding comment sections with controversial statements they invite vigorous debate, which ends up boosting engagement. In the end they bring more attention t

A better term would be “propaganda” or psychological warfare, something CCP and PLA each have dedicated units for.

Absolutely, that's why STOVL is the defining feature of the F-35B. It's common knowledge where American and allied air bases are, by making them able to base anywhere with modern infrastructure it makes "zerg rushes" unt

This has a significant deterrence effect because it means you can’t just massively attack all airbases and expect the Air Force to be disabled. Even if you destroy all runways there will still be air units with all manner of destructive wea

This is a dangerous analogy because single atom differences in a molecule can change it from a medicine to a poison. While all drugs are not problems in themselves, only in how they are used in individuals and society, it would not be wise

If you fly or drive, it’s about the same time but you arrive feeling drained. The train is cheaper and you arrive feeling refreshed. Travel should be pleasant and enjoyable, like the golden days of aviation!

Remote work seems like one of many missed “Jetsons opportunities.”[a] Why wouldn’t we, given the ability, work from our own comfy homes instead of rolling into a crowded, stuffy office everyday? Why isn’t this practice that workers clearly

Always optimize for the long term. They should all be able to go to college, get healthcare, food and clothes and housing, but once that’s settled invest in your relationship with them. Set them up for long term success. It looks a little d

We have an inalienable right to privacy. That means it doesn’t matter what others say or do, it’s ours to have. The UK government is now failing to guarantee this. “He who sacrifices liberty for safety deserves neither and will lose both.”

Part of longevity terminology is healthspan vs. lifespan. Lifespan is how long it takes you to die. Healthspan is how long it takes you to become effectively disabled. For example your lifespan might be 80, but if you had severe Alzheimer’s

Very simply put, there are many more important values in Japanese society than “having as many kids as your parents did.” What these factors are and why they exist is a topic so vast it borders the incomprehensible. All of the reductive, fr
