This is correct behavior. There must be a name for this effect of having some more or less shallow understanding and feeling like an actual expert with decades of experience from various sides of the topic. SWEs I think are more susceptible

I work on 90% contract, meaning I get cca 10 weeks of paid vacations yearly, and its usual 5 days a week workload. Net income hit is somewhere around 6-7% of salary. There is maybe tiny overhead, but there is also more efficiency during tim

We discuss this while half of the world is malnourished, there are entire regions with fanatical religious extremists doing (successfully) all they can to keep those regions in medieval times, and west has no real way to change that. Its no

I've had few close calls, they are easy to come by in specific environments. Typical situation - tight winding mountain (but well paved) roads to some remote villages where even basic small European cars need to slow down to walking pa

AFAIK nvidia cards dont work in tandem (aka sli in the past) very well these days. So that aint true. Also, 2 gens old means bad performance at ray tracing, abysmal path tracing if at all. Pretty sure it can't run smoothly CP2077 in na

Stuff built long time ago still serves its purpose - the people. Anyway yes we have some comparatively old stuff here, you get used to it quickly. Colleague lives in cca 400 years old house, nothing special. Just more building restrictions,

Do something helpful for community, don't want anything back, no ads, no monetization, for a change reader is not a product. Show it. Get shit on it by snarky depressed/envious folks. Internet at its worst.

This ain't true, even in many cca popular places in European alps you can be alone whole day. Just don't go into most popular hotspots on busy holidays days, traveling rule 101. People just taking selfies and generally big crowds

Indeed, they were visitors and were given no permission to alter mountains in such ways. If it should have been done, it should have been done by owners of that terrain - I presume Chile / Argentine. The arrogance of this... I see no d

Interesting statement with various meanings :) I just can't get his popularity, he isn't smart, he isn't a great speaker, his opinions on actually important stuff is often... just sad to hear, hyping up a 'bro effect and

Clearly you don't work in game development, this comment put a smile on my face. Although I expected a bit more from hacker news crowd

Yeah, but folks doing scams to get visas are hardly the "best immigrants", rather amoral scum that is largely incompatible with mentality and moral values of host country. Clearly not the type of immigration they desperately want,

OK how about some real achievements in life, is raising kids the hard way? Career is but a small portion of QoL and overall achievements as human beings, basically all of us software devs these days live have very above-average incomes alth

Well, here is where we differ - what is basic trip for you may not be basic trip for me or next Joe. Maybe they don't even have walking path to their house. Maybe closest grocery store is 5km away on roads which are incompatible with s

FOMO at its best, fuck their personalities and development and having happy childhood as base layer of personality for rest of their lives, its grades at all costs! Famously most of asian kids wear glasses from studying all the time, well w

Kids do what parents do, and what parents allow them to do. Allowing X hours daily gaming/screens is already bad parenting (depending on age but we talk about kids here), like it or not ask psychologists. At the end its just same genes

Yeah apparently we need to get our ass kicked seriously to get our shit together to make it further and not die choking in our tiny blue spot. Maybe not for 3500 years, but look what world WWII brought after it ended. We need that millennia

No its much more straightforward, but I get it - there is no warm fuzzy feeling of discovering yet another global evil conspiracy out there set to get all of us. We are family of 4 with 2 small kids. Whenever we travel, its a series of back

Like it or not, this is how people perceive output from llms. Those ultra rich companies can't forever have the cake and eat it too, just milking global markets forever (I know they of course desperately want and need to, but that&#x27

If you judge people by their ancestor's actions, there is literally no place, no human being that could be called moral or good. Neither you (or me), you just need to look far enough in time.

I wouldnt be so harsh even with chinese combustion engines, its at this point a meme that is just copy pasted because everybody says so, but without actual experience. People dont understand how China is 3x bigger than Europe and 4x bigger

I don't get why many folks are missing the obvious issue - even if you manage all that, its at most a copy command, there is never actual move. You yourself would be staring at this other guy, probably being envious since form now on i

Lol we, even you, talk about additives and then you bring up nutritional content of the food itself. Do you even understand the topic discussed? It certainly doesn't seem so, or you have an agenda to serve, for whatever reason. Or ar

There is certainly more that we can do. Ie being more careful with introducing new chemicals with largely unknown long term effects. The burden of proof shouldn't be decades of research seeing thousands of people developing serious hea

Strong claims require strong evidence, not just throwing random fashionable words others are using. Your claims are very strong.

I don't eat bananas I can buy in Europe, not after doing some travels. They are extremely bland, doesn't matter where I buy them. Now when traveling in exotic countries, what a beautiful experience to taste one!

Thats some mighty hyperbole, not everybody is breaking some minor (or not so minor) laws 50x a day. Or a year. Societies where there is high amount of respect towards each other and rules tend to perform much better over long time, ie Switz

Its not pre-internet travel, rather backpacking. I do it to this very day, by far the best and most rewarding way to travel, the further and more exotic the better. It has a downside - I'll never do these pre-arranged trips where one i

Well they were neutral, its just most folks, even otherwise smart ones, don't like true neutral behavior if it doesn't actually favor their side, hence such 'smart' snarky remarks I can see all the time, by people feelin

You should check Geneva then - they are building apartment buildings like crazy in past 5 years. Too much if you ask me - in very center, almost every small park or green spot is now 6 story concrete building. Only the biggest protected par
