Similar enough is double entry bookkeeping and generally I think event sourcing is more common for fraud detection, log analysis for security, etc. - use cases where how the application got in its state is as important as the state.

I hear you but the magazine and newspaper can’t adapt to your engagement levels in real time to maximize their addictive potential. Many people don’t struggle with their screen time but it’s clearly a common problem.

LeetCode, concurrency, system design... each contrived in its own way and you can only figure them out by burning good opportunities. Reminds me of the Bridge Keeper in Monty Python's Holy Grail. My tip is just to ruthlessly ask questi

It’s more of an arts and community festival than a music event. There’s a smattering of respected DJs/producers each year and some good sets, but otherwise there’s a bunch of art cars roaming around thumping generic party music. Absolu

I read that book as well and it was pretty clear they wanted people to take it without exactly knowing what they were getting into; at least, it escalated to that point. They being Ken Kesey and his group more so than the Dead. One of the c

The lacrimal duct doesn't produce the tear film lipids, it's the meibomian gland. Also I think he meant the lacrimal gland, not the duct, but that'd still be incorrect.

Enshitification. I’ve been buying honeycrisp for a while and noticed more mushiness and flat flavor recently but I didn’t realize there was a whole apple-buying meta to keep up with if you don’t want to buy garbage fruit. Edit: All the hone

IIRC what Columbus didn't know was Eratosthones calculation of the circumference of the Earth that was <1% off, but believed Ptolemy's ~30% short estimation and figured there was no land in between Europe and the East Indies.

Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert is a good read on this - it essentially covers many psychology experiments on happiness. I mean, overstates what the studies actually say and gets repetitive by the end as you might expect for this k

That's certainly much better. Did you prompt it to use a more casual style? Edit: Though I'll say it doesn't really interpret the 50/50 the we intended, but perhaps with additional context it could.

Not academia, but my impression is that’s it’s a fragile self image thing - all their eggs are in one basket - “the smartest guy in the room.” Of course being the actual smartest person in the room isn’t possible, and at some level they kno

They actually dropped the Impreza sedan in the latest gen, it’s only the hatchback now. I always disliked the crosstrek since it’s a heavier Impreza on an already dogged engine but they are/were the only manual version so some people w
