The EU’s problem is that it doesn’t foster company growth on any level and doesn’t help with problems specific to the EU (e.g. multiple languages, differing laws, varying levels of unionization, and more). Blaming Trump for their own well-k

In pop-science articles and videos, the concept is usually illustrated using the dated but intuitive model developed by Niels Bohr around 1918. The model envisions electrons that travel around the nucleus in circular orbits: Please stop t

There’s got to be a happy medium between using canvas to make the controls you actually want and browser-provided one-size-fits-nobody controls. I really thought MS was onto something with Silverlight’s with XAML but that died.

Yeah, I don't think people realize how many times the franchise has been updated over the years. I'm conservatively counting five times (marked with asterisks) but I think the number could be as high as seven. And then you've

Came here to say this. It’s rare that you can blindly copy/paste an SO answer. Sometimes it looks like you can but then it doesn’t work and you have to not only carefully read the answer but then also fill in the missing pieces with

Surely price caps are the solution here, no? I don’t want big tickets items like Total Hip Replacements price-capped but referrals certainly are not a high-skilled line item.

That’s nice to say but there’s a dark underbelly of quietly firing people who don’t quite fit the team culture to achieve such strong relationships. Not always and not immediately, but eventually you either have a black sheep slowly bring y

I’m OOTL with all the Phillips hate in this thread. Is there a good reason to prefer other patterns or is it simply bandwagoning?

The most common one might be the diminutive for a pot - potty. Potling or potlet would have been much better in my opinion.

Yeah, you’ve come to mostly the same conclusion as Mark Cuban(whole thread [0]). He agrees that you need some sort of watchdog to prevent fraud/waste/mistake but that insurance companies don’t work because their for-profit natur

Shoulda named it “stroopwafel” in honor of Bjarne Stroustrup. Never mind that one is Danish and one is Dutch. Also naming things is surely the most fitting use case for ChatGPT, no?

There’s no excuse for C not to have some syntactic sugar around function pointers at this point. They’re miserable to use.

There are a lot of people in Texas and the biggest cities are quite close together. In fact, you can start in Dallas, drive down to Waco, drive down to Austin, drive down to San Antonio, and you've only driven four hours to do so. If e

Because these models aren't the end goal. The end goal is AGI in 5-10 years and these models are measures of each company's ability to move toward that goal. If someone is plagiarizing someone else's model, then that seriousl

I’d rather have this for the rest of my life than have any more of the cryptocoin/NFT flood we had prior to this. Even better if we get a C/Zig/Odin bone thrown our way every once in a while.

Yeah fun fact: the books were already well enough known by the time WarCraft 3 was released that the final mission was named "A Symphony of Frost and Flame".

That's not how it works for millions upon millions of Americans that are not fortunate enough to work at a job that provides tens of thousands of dollars in healthcare insurance as a benefit. Wal-Mart provides pretty decent health in

Would you feel the same way if you had effectively infinite money? (e.g. you were Bill Gates' secret daughter he sends a million to each month).

You could ban every non-ethnically Chinese channel to push Chinese superiority. That would be bad, right? And before you say, “but they’re not doing that”, remember that we’re discussing how this theoretically could be a bad thing.

SVN has always worked for me. You don’t have to “teach” people SVN because it’s intuitive and works just fine for the 99% case. I wish we would all stop larping as 1337 hackerz and just admit that git is overkill for the vast majority of pe

Dune or Twin Peaks are probably going to be more accessible than anything else. For Eraserhead, I understand the metaphor of how parenting can be larger-than-life and terrifying and I see how Eraserhead was trying to embody that but I very
