Nearly perfect. You missed the mandatory post on how I can read the author's blog post for 400 hours without recharging on my superior Mac M1, versus just 10 minutes on pleb Linux boxes.

Early in my career I had a job at a small startup with about 3 other full time devs, including the founder. All of us were more or less clueless. Project management consisted of the founder telling us what to implement. One day he told me t

If the newbie was ill-fitted for the seniority level, its a recruitment screwup. If he's just someone with little experience, then the author is just being a dick. Also, this kind of poorly-thought, hasty, angsty blog post makes me wis

The flaw with that line of thinking is that we are not robots (LaMDA and Zuck, you can stop reading now). We don't always (want to) make optimal decisions based only on how objectively healthy they are, and that's perfectly fine,

Allow mixed zoning and higher density. That's it. The whole non-anglosphere world works like that, more or less. Why are people so afraid of it?

Right, that's why I said "I'd say a very long time, probably centuries", not "for eternity". >But isn't that how it's often deployed? "Don't look at me, blame the previous boss!" is

That's a really poor example. >Russia was ruled by tyrannical czars for centuries before Communism - does that mean the actions of Communist leaders like Stalin were really the czars' fault? Absolutely yes, a thousand times. Ma

Yes, needless to say an unmarried couple is not what I was referring to. I'm saying that for a long time people have known that not everyone is cut out for marriage, and that it has never really been seen as "the only path".

>marriage is not for everyone For quite a long time this was a very obvious and common sense statement. That is literally the traditional view of the Catholic Church on marriage, for example. Things changed only very recently.

I'm in a very similar demographic as the author so I empathise with how hard things can be, but this: >there’s not a lot of time for communication with my wife. We’re on the go from sun-up to sun-down, and at the end of the day we d

But what if we hack death?? Joking, obviously. But it is amusing how many people (Kurzweil, Harari) seriously have faith in this (and believe there is something novel in this pursuit).

This is wrong in so many levels. What does eating Thai food have to do with anything? I sense you tried to make an analogy, but it's so obtuse I honestly can't imagine what you were thinking. Are you honestly saying that empathy i

Don't be disingenuous. I'm not talking specifically about the UK. I made that clear in the original post, but just to avoid further tangentials like this I made an edit so it is triple clear now. It is so tiring when people nitpic

I'm baffled how this seems only to apply to the Ukraine this one time. Any meaningful discussion is labeled "whataboutism" and dismissed. You will surely agree with me that Russia is not the world's pioneer in wars of ag

This surprised me. What's particularly bad about them? I mean, I don't love billboards, but I wouldn't think them being made of LEDs or not would make them worse.
