GP quoted "microseconds" i.e. 1000x smaller.

I personally liked the full RGB color change option, which I use to help with sleeping (e g. lower and more orange lights at night). Hue also lets me control six or eight lights at once, instead of doing a full circle of the room to flick s

I personally have a hard time being creative. But the more I dug into it to comment on the post, the more I thought it was a series of emotional defenses rather than something intrinsic to the disorder. Creativity is inherently going to inv

This was my feeling as well. And it doesn't even mean the thesis is wrong, it just means the article is tainted by the desire to wish for a different world.

I think that day is already here. But it's hard for an industry to suddenly reverse course on billions of dollars in business funding even if the industry collectively wanted to do it.

I think it's audience-dependent. For readers with less background and less pre-existing motivation to learn the material, I think it helps to cut down on the density a little. It's kind of a cruddy experience to have to pause and

I agree with the sibling comment about small cats hunting very very frequently, and I'd also add that animals cache food for exactly the reason of avoiding starvation. Small mammals also have quicker metabolisms, and their surface-to-v

Not the GP but https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/liver-disease-fatty-l... I have never personally heard that a cat could get fatty liver disease from undereating, but I have heard it's a risk if they don&#x27

Are these the techbros of community life? I can see a bunch of parallels.

That's both a horrible thought and a near-certainty.

It's really, really close though. The kill distance of six miles is what tips me over the edge of reading it as sarcasm.

"Just deal with it" is usually not a good option for children. Some children are very independent, but in 2024 I think most are not.

I think that can work if they really are convinced you're not going to judge them for it. I have friends I can ask such a question; if I'm asking more distant friends or acquaintances then I'm going to make it really clear th

I wonder if the problem is that, when you give someone advice, you're not giving them the whole thought-structure you've built that strongly implies the advice - you're just giving them the result. So they don't have any

Overexplaining can also be the result of anxiously trying to get the explanation perfect. EDIT: I agree with your overall post, though.

The modern version would be "don't severely penalize players for failures they can't prevent". I think in 1989 having to start over was considered less of a punishment, because games tended to clock in at low-single-digi

To add to your point, one can't even pick out a brand-name product directly from Amazon's website and be sure of getting the real thing.

Humble Bundle doesn't own Humble Games at this point, they sold it to Ziff Davis.

All of those things are copying. Browser caches probably fall under fair use. CDNs are contracted by the distributor so literally licensed.

The author of a work has copyright automatically, so what would prohibit it by default is copyright law. In the specific case of Wikipedia I would guess it's allowed by the license, but that's not generally true.

Intellectual property and privacy aren't the same thing, so the third-party doctrine doesn't apply.

This isn't strictly true. Parties definitely care about motivating their base and arguably the stay-at-home vote has pushed the US away from visible centrism in Presidential candidates.

Do you happen to have a link to an example or explanation?

It's not particularly easy to do, the parts that don't lead to a solution are boring, and people may make nitpick criticisms that aren't at all helpful. I work at a place where design documents are supposed to include the alt

I think the difference is that it's really hard to tell how difficult SWE work is and whether or not someone's doing it (since the real work is all in the brain). So it's comparatively easy for a fraudster to skate on very li

I think you need a clearer and more up-front indication of how you're different from other sites before asking for an email address.

Working from the office gets more useful when more people do it, because of easier communication with teammates, so mandates can absolutely make the work environment better for someone who wants to work in the office.

I'm not saying it's not a trojan, but the description sounds like something that a malware detector would flag even if it was perfectly innocuous.

When I hear stories of programmers who put a moat around their jobs with incomprehensible code, I usually assume it's exaggerated, but in your case I wonder if that's exactly what happened.

I don't have a cure but I've pushed back hard against the symptoms and tech is less of an all-consuming interest than it used to be, but I'm still quite good at it. I personally don't think a cure is going to take away t
