> I find coroutines a really strange and leaky abstraction. I've only used Kotlin on Android, but from what I remember co-routines are not necessary to use. If you don't like them, then don't use them. Kotlin has a number

That’s a solvable problem though. Regulations could be changed to require more buffer areas for the landfill. Also, another thing to think about it is that your parents likely picked the best place available for their means. Not many people

This article contains a logical error that I see quite frequently, which is the belief that something being anti-X is somehow pro better alternative Y. In this article, the author believes that writing that stimulates critical thinking and

I'm in the process of building a new kitchen in the NYC area and I can't really find a way to make it cost more than $150,000. And that's including demo work to expand the size, new floors and windows, and entirely new appl

Changing DAs is not like deploying a software service. It takes time for changes to propagate.

Definitely can blame DAs for not brining charges. The rule of law is literally the only deterrence to anti-social behavior.

That’s not really accurate. There only part that’s accurate is the US “sucking up all the dollars”, but it’s not due to a credit crisis. The U.S. is the most aggressive in terms of raising its baseline interest rate. The interest rate is hi

Are you then incentivized to work on managerial features rather than core product features? The disincentive comes from the fact that profits aren’t tied to the quality of the product.

Light, in the GP’s example is also traceable back to a source. Observing an effect in a 3rd party isn’t directly attributable to anything without a plausible mechanism of action. Using light to detect stars as defense of dark matter isn’t a

A lot of that is polish to make the game feel great. You should play Matty’s game Jumper. The game was made with Game Maker back in the early 2000s, which was targeted to low-code users back then. The game mechanics are very similar to Cele

One thing that’s beautiful about game development is how you can create a fun game from the simplest principal. How complex is the gameplay in a game like a Celeste? Yes, there’s a lot of stylistic polish, but it uses pixel art and doesn’t

> Again, the multiplier effect is only applicable when dealing with an external input to a system. Otherwise, you are arguing that simply raising prices creates economic growth which is clearly not true. No, that's not what I'm

Having maintained an open source library, it’s actually really helpful to see features people want. Not everyone needs to contribute directly to the code base. User feedback is valuable, too.

Yes, I linked to the wrong Wikipedia page. Thanks. But no, it's not an instance of the broken window fallacy. Let's say the store owner buys the bread directly from China, and by doing so can offer bread at 20% less than before. S

A call center is not really a collaborative job at all, so it's unsurprising that there would be some gain from WFH. I don't think you can generalize what works in a call center to what works for knowledge workers, though.

I'm not arguing trickle-down economics. The concept I'm talking about is called the "money multiplier" [0]. Think about it like this: You go to the store and buy some bread for $1. GDP has increased by $1. Now the store

It's basically been disproven at this point that simply lowering cost does not necessarily lead to better outcomes for the country. This was basically neo-liberal orthodoxy until the mid 2010s, by which point it was clear that lowering

I've removed that link to the BLS data as I agree it is erroneous to try to correlate that data to any broad trends in WFH / WFO. However, the Apollo Technical link is filled with misleading summaries and questionable sources.

I don't think so. "an end" means a goal. "People are an end", to me, means that the creation of people is the goal. This is a common belief in religions like Catholicism that are against contraception.
