I don't live in London, but my city has a similar low emission zone. My dad is poor and must drive an hour to work because he can't afford to live in the city. When he last brought a car he stupidly listened to the government reco

So if it has nothing to do with cost, why are people no longer driving? Why don't they just get compliant cars and continue taking their kids to school as normal? Either the ULEZ charge is changing behaviour or it isn't – which is

Twitter is excellent if you're looking for a social network where you can consume content and interact with domain experts in various fields. In my experience it's really only those who go there for politics that get annoyed by it

Reminder that it's still not too late to change the direction of progress. We still have time to demand that our politicians put the breaks on AI data centres and end this insanity. When AI exceeds humans at all tasks humans become eco

I think this is too simple a rule personally. What you want to optimise for is the discounted long-term cost of not automating vs the upfront cost of automation. While I'd agree developers often prematurely optimise, advocating to put

My old AI professor used to say that every problem is a search problem. The issue is that to find solutions for useful problems you're often searching through highly complex and often infinite solution spaces.

I really dislike this idea that someone can be "too old" to be president. The issue isn't age, it's the conditions and diseases that often come with age. The issue with Biden for me wasn't his age at all, it was tha

This mostly depends on what you want to do. Languages have their unique pros and cons so excel and are overrepresented in certain use cases. If you want a corporate IT job languages like Java are great because Java is an old, slow moving, b

I like imageboards. I think it's partly nostalgia for me too. They remind me of the tolerance and freedom that was present on the early internet. Everything in contrast feels so heavily moderated or censored. Forums can be good too, bu

In my experience monoliths don't reduce complexity, they just shift it. The main issue with monoliths is that they don't have clear and explicit separation of concern between domain concerns, therefore it's very easy for your
