$999 for the best choice seems really high to me. I understand that they're trying to generalize a broad range of applications, but still. They mention the Ryzen 5 is better bang for the buck, but dismiss it for having "low overal

I get what you're saying, but I think it's fundamentally wrong for two reasons. First, it is "big" when you consider how that money could be used. Cynicism aside about funding wars and filling walls with cash, it could b

Every generation is galvanized by serious injustices. But, it feels like we're far less effective at turning that anger into change; though maybe that's always how it feels at the time. I'm almost sure I once saw a quote fr

For those not following Canada's economy. Two weeks ago no one was sure if they'd hike the rate again, and no one thought they'd do it so quickly (though it seemed likely they'd do it ~oct/nov). But, Canada posted e

I don't disagree. It's just more tedious in static languages. Let's say we're doing a user registration. In most dynamic languages the JSON body will get parsed into a map. Excuse the fat controller and pseudo-language,

I definitely agree with you that Go codebases has a high level of consistency. It's certainly one of the many good things Go offers and something I hope other languages look at to see if they can replicate. But, that doesn't reall

I did Go for years, but stopped doing any serious work in it about a year ago. In general, I found it a chore to maintain Go-based systems. There's a lot to like about Go. But it doesn't seem pragmatic for the types of application

Re kids: I was saying if you have kids, surely that's even more reason to act. I'm not a survivalist. No idea if you want to prepare? Move north and stock up on guns, ammo, seed, water and soil? But, I'm not sure I understand

It's pretty hopeless. I used to think we'd adjust in time, but that was when the decline looked more linear (or at least I thought it looked more linear). Of the many people who I know who are seriously concerned re climate change

You're mixing two things, though my original question wasn't clear. You're talking about calorie restriction with respect to metabolic disease. This study seems to further support your view and, I don't disagree with you

This almost answers a question I've often wondered. Whenever I see research on calorie restriction, I wonder whether it's directly caused by eating fewer calories, or indirectly caused by eating fewer bad things. For example, meth
