And also the algorithm here is title-blind. The content of the story bears no sway over its place in the rankings. I do not believe dang cherry-picks either except for the very rare sticky?

Work hard so that the next generation is better off than you were, cascading down for generations to come. I’ve heard it said that the meaning of life is to plant trees for shade that you will never personally be able to enjoy.

There’s just no reason to traumatize kids that early. It’s perfectly fine to be a happy Disney kid until 10 and then find the trauma gradually. It’s not like Bridge to Terabithia didn’t exist for the previous generation either.

Do you find it better than Wheelock’s? As a casual language observing hobbyist, it’s really scratched my itch of learning why Latin is the way it is.

At some point, it’s not a shortage. Everyone naturally wants to live in the best city on earth but expecting one city to house 8 billion people is silly. It’s okay to admit that some cities are at their natural reasonable capacity.

I would really like to see professional, established coach running around with young prodigies on a peak of their biology. Bill Russell is (was) the guy you’re looking for and he is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time.

What are the alternatives? Only a massively moneyed corp has the resources to fight vulns at acceptable rates. Firefox doesn’t count because they’re being funded by Google.

Having a credit card is like having a video game passive that makes everything permanently 2% cheaper. Everything should be put on a credit card for that discount as well as fraud protection provided you are disciplined enough to never ever

Also the naming department. You can tell that this is the AI company Microsoft chose to back because their naming scheme is as bad as .NET's.

Corn is grown for food security as far as I'm aware. Corn ethanol fuel is just an outlet so that the corn grown doesn't go to waste.

Does the author not respect the Programming Language subreddit as a platform to discuss these things? Sure, it’s weirdly vacant most of the time but the space is there and ready to be used.

I’m pretty sure the myriad WoW Classics are money-laundering operations. I’ve known several guilds over the Classic revivals since 2019 and every single member is buying gold. The bots are egregiously obvious and Blizzard only patches the g

Yes but Newsom isn’t even solving problems. It’s the worst of both worlds.

No it’s not. Xi has power as absolute as Newsom and manages just fine. When your country has large, but solvable problems, absolute power works great for quelling unrest by fixing problems quickly and efficiently. Newsom is just generationa

…except very few died. The Iranian and US casualties and entire ME casualties since the operation started combined are less than 15% of the Iranian citizens slaughtered a month before this all started. Do we not care about deaths anymore? A

I wish you were getting replies instead of downvotes. I want to know why people think Bun is preferable here. For cross-platform non-performance-important code, I’ll use Bun all day. Once speed enters the equation, I don’t see why you’d sti

Pfffff the rules for flying drones as set by the FAA are already draconian as is and that’s before you begin to run afoul of city/state rules. They’re usually banned in residential areas to begin with (without permits) so you’re screwe

in 2018 the administration warned Europe of the dangers of Russian gas and badgered Germany into building an LNG port with the Trump-Juncker agreement I don’t know how fair that is. Modern leaders looked at Appeasement in pre-WW2 and thou

Lost in the cacophony is the fact that Anthropic fumbled a strong lifeline while hemorrhaging cash without a business model. It’s fun to look down at OpenAI but they may not get another chance like this again.
