By that logic: How can you actually increase utility for trains if you don't build a train? If public transportation is eschewed in favor of more roadways, then unsurprisingly the utility of the roads increases. But, many studies have

1. I have narrow shoulders, switching to a smaller keyboard has dramatically decreased the amount of shoulder and elbow pain I had. 2. I almost never do number entry, but if I do I have a dedicated number pad.

I think the fact that machine learning so hyped is a problem; there's the Dunning-Kruger effect. A lot of people are entering the field, who don't understand mathematics behind the algorithms, but they can make Keras models that r

Wow! This looks so fun and definitely reminds me of when people were less about their "personal brand" with their websites. It feels less intimidating and serious. I loved looking at the random pages.

I left WhatsApp when it was acquired by Meta (née Facebook) in 2014. I actually lost friends because of it-- they didn't answer calls or texts or any other form of communication on another platform reliably. It was surprisingly difficu

I think it's worth it, if you are a tinkerer and if you look at that kind of software as a "Personal Development Environment" a phrase I first heard in this video[1]. So, yeah the focus is on creating software that is tailore

I also read it that way, but thought the article would be about her character, not musical compositions. Regardless, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou was a remarkable person with tragic circumstances in life.

Nerd culture has been mainstream since The Big Bang Theory ; le geek c'est chic. D&D, Comic books, nerdy plastic-framed glasses, etc... are all "having a moment". So is nerd culture dying? No, it's just being sold n

They are referring to the extreme notion of individual responsibility that forms the basis for neoliberalism and also alluding to the notion that market-like logic can be applied to nearly every aspect of life[1]. They didn't seem to d

Why is that a problem? You can create a branch called "in-progress" or something like that and push that to remote.

Women's clothing at the time of the Rational Dress Society (1880s) was beginning to shift moving from huge pockets, to adopting menswear integrated pockets. Older pockets were typically little bags that were worn under the dress[1]. Mo

I think a lot of people romanticize the Amish... they are pretty much an oppressive cult with quaint appearance to the outside that does not carry over to the inside. The Amish in my former area were infamous for puppy mills[1], but there w

I agree on your first point, but disagree on your second point. Lots of artists use theory-- jazz musicians use the circle of fifths and their knowledge of chords to give them a framework, from which they can improvise. That means practicin

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but what I think you're saying is: for most adults it's not about the wellbeing of young people, but a cliché "think of the children". If that's the case, I'd agree and disa

In my opinion, LaTeX is useful for typesetting (1) unwieldy documents (2) using as a template for documents you write often and scripting it. (1) By unwieldy I mean a book or academic writing. Typesetting a thesis or a book is "easy&qu
