I read the article carefully, but I still can’t figure out how Royce Williams managed this feat. It seems like a situation out of a movie in which the bad guys miss when they fire, but the good guy always hits when he fires. He should hav

What God creates is not science fiction, but rather reality. He does indeed "make up a guy". Psalm 139 expresses this insight: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I

I guess maybe I can just permanently attach the brick to the cable in some way so that I only have to keep track of one thing rather than two things.

I don't want to have to keep track of two things. I only want to keep track of one thing. I suppose I could use some kind of superglue to just bond the cable to the brick, but I'd rather just get one that was built that way. Ide

People don't know their neighbors anymore -- everyone's acquaintances are online and the guy who lives next door to you is a stranger whom you barely nod to on the street. To have a party you need a bunch of people that you know

One guy I worked with whom I would describe as a 10x programmer was not only unbelievably productive as a software engineer, but he had a fantastic attitude. He was the antithesis of arrogance and was universally beloved. He was both a le

It has always been obvious to me that 10x programmers exist and I've been bemused by the backlash against the idea of the 10x programmer. I've worked with two different people whom I would consider 10x programmers and I might even

There is a massive community of people who are only eating ribeye steaks. Many have been doing this for over ten years. They aren’t getting scurvy. So that’s the end of that story. And you don’t need to eat grass-finished beef (it has a

I know -- common knowledge on this subject is atrocious. Also, being fed on a lot is not the same as being "factory farmed". It sounds like you just equate "raising cattle" with "factory farming".

Fresh meat contains vitamin C. Also, vitamin C is needed for the synthesis of collagen and an all-beef diet contains a lot of collagen. Scurvy is only a problem for people like sailors in the old days who did not have access to fresh meat

Beef is not factory-farmed. All cows are raised grazing on grass and are taken to feedlots for fattening only just prior to slaughter. Cows don't go through the torture that chickens and pigs go through.

The externalities of a plant-based diet are enormous, from the use of pesticides which then leads to the decimation of the bird population to the massive amount of fossil-fuel-based fertilizer, to the explosion in the rate of obesity and di

I AM saying that red meat is good -- both for your health and for the environment.

I am an advocate of the all-beef diet. I didn't consume a single calorie from any plant-based source for the entirety of 2021 and I ended the year feeling fantastic and in the best shape of my life. For some reason, I went off the &quo

I remember the first time I heard about someone getting a 1 GB hard drive -- I was astonished. I mean, I just could not believe it. Now people are complaining about only having 8 GB of RAM, lol.

I’ve completely lost any sweet tooth that I ever had. Sodas and fruit juices taste sickening to me, and I have zero interest in dessert. The longer you stick with this diet the more you appreciate the negatives of cheating. I really don’t

Oh sure, this makes sense -- treat them like chatbots that can actually help you. And by the way, treating them like a chatbot really is treating them like a human being -- it just means speaking slowly and clearly, not adding extraneous i

I don't buy this line of reasoning -- if you have $10 million then you can just go to the front lines yourself and fight malaria directly. The idea that you're going to make a lot of money so that you can pay other people to live

I don't understand people who are motivated by making money that is beyond the amount of money that they would need to buy a nice house and feed themselves well. Ten million dollars seems to me like enough money to immediately retire

"Does code just flow from their brains into their fingers?" Honestly, it does feel that way sometimes. You move so much faster and with so much more efficiency and power that you can just think at a higher level while you're

I eat a high fat diet of only beef and eggs -- as far as I can tell it is impossible not to look good naked if you really stick to this diet. I guess I'm just lucky to have discovered a diet that is easy for me to sustain over the lon
