You assume they're talking about the video, I think we're talking about the claim in general (which the video was just evidence of an example). It doesn't really matter which one of us is right, as I was just trying to add to

I think where those videos (at least the first one) miss the mark is where they assume the ones running the systems to scam kids are also kids. Some were, I'm sure (kids have to grow out of being sociopaths or having sociopathic behavi

No, culture is different. Enjoying the people you work around is not culture, it's having good coworkers. You can have coworkers you don't like but a good culture, and coworkers you do like and a bad culture. Culture is distinc

Interestingly, I'm sure a lot of people that want to compile to a binary would love an option that had trade-offs for the size even if it greatly hurt performance. For example, my case was ~100 lines of code not including the parseArg

Yeah, I used Deno to build a simple URL switch case utility in late 2021 to handle sending different URLs to different browsers, and that was ~56MB compiled at the time. I don't know if it's changed in the base size since then, b

Any conclusion drawn that excludes a bunch of similar situations because the ultimate outcome ended up being different seems likely to be flawed, IMO. It's easy to point at climate change and say that's a deciding factor, but if t

My point is that it may be hard to tease out how much of that is survivorship bias (survivorship of records of failed states, that is). If it often takes multiple things failing at once to actually have the societies fail, then when you loo
