Way to twist things around. The article does not suggest anything like that. Seems to me you are reading about a pretty factual article about the cost of maintenance of nukes but interpreting it as « let’s declare war to Russia, their arse

Because Putin might see it and nuke us to prove us wrong? I don't see why it would be reckless to consider the possibility of the poor state of the russian nuclear arsenal. The article even points that the tactical or battlefield nucl

I doubt it would happen. But I imagine even if it did, the more secretive organisations and people become, the more there will be to earn to be the one sharing, which should ensure a certain balance. A prisoner dilemma that works in society

Being a true passive investor is much harder than most people think. We are flooded with stories of "amazing opportunities" and "systemic risks".

I wonder if they were looking for a way to back out without losing face or if those changes were genuinely enough.

I get that it is a classic but arguing that understanding less words and examples in a book makes the message stronger is a tough sell.

by it_citizen 3y ago
I said the examples are brutally outdated, not the message. The book is filled with acronyms and names I didn’t know because they are 60 years old. I’d rather read a 2023 version if I could.

Agree, but sometimes looking for recent books with the same underlying message is better than going through the classic. I read the mythical man month recently and the examples often involving OS/360 development are brutally outdated.

First way to shoot myself in the foot: not using it. Too often, I ruled out Postgres as a solution to a certain problem before even trying and jumped to more specialized solutions or moved the problem to the application layer. It took me ye

If it is loaded in the sense that they will keep their beliefs despite the vast amount of data proving that not only it exists but it is happening, I am fine with that.

The other big difference is that methane stays only around 12 years in the atmosphere compared to centuries for CO2.

I am curious how much video-to-text content represent compared to pure text. I have no idea.

It helps with the tedious tasks but great programmers are great because of the way they approach and solve problems, not because they write code faster. On a sidenote: You shouldn't take anything said in the "all in podcast"

I wish I had an extension allowing me to upvote/downvote websites and showing the karma ratio of the website when I navigate to one of their article. It might not change anything but at least I would feel that I was able to sanction t

To be fair, the joycon was drifting only once in a while (which is super annoying when you play platform games). I am not sure it was worth their time to try to reproduce for too long.

They replaced for free a joycon of a 5 year old product, and we are talking about a portable device with which i played intensively, traveled with, dropped, eat on it, splashed water, left in the sun, played at the beach in the sand etc… As

I don't know how it is in Europe, but in North America, their repair service is top-notch. 2 months ago I sent them a joycon of my 5 year old switch because it started to drift. I simply filed a form on their website and dropped the jo

I get that feeling when I try to imagine if I would prefer an AI to drive my car. Rationally, I know it would probably be safer, but at the same time I would still feel safer driving it myself. I imagine it is a mix of an illusion of contro
