I got 10/10 and I know exactly zero about VFX and CGI. I did it really fast too. The only one that I hesitated was the aurora borealis. That said, this isn't some sort of great victory. I expect that soon my intuition won't b

If you wanna be relevant to the conversation you're gonna have to clarify for me: are you in the camp that thinks Gnome treats its users like they're stupid, or not?

I know absolutely nothing about Gnome, but my comment wasn't about Gnome specifically. It just grabbed my attention when people say "software X treats people like they're stupid", and then they want things done for them.

Right, thanks for that. My fault for skipping every other word. This had really soured my day for a bit there, but you brought it back. Debian is one of those things that I consider a source of stability in my software life, together with g

Why do people like IRC? Separate question: is it encrypted?

Completely irrelevant. A manager at a bank is not pushing for RTO at the bank because a restaurant has a loan. You're missing the point of this conversation.

I'm in the UK. I buy the cheapest t-shirts in bulk from Primark. They're still going. I bought them about 7 years ago for 1 pound each. I think they're 2.5 pounds now.

People in the Western world are comfortable and people in China are very motivated. I've been reading "the man who solved the market" about Jim Simons and his hedge fund Renaissance. This reminds me that there was a period ju

Good optimizers will not react to half empty office space by pushing for RTO. They'll react by pushing for smaller office. So the problem that you pointed out isn't optimization as a concept, it's dumb people.

This is what I'd really like to know. What really REALLY is behind managers/executives pushing for RTO. My theory so far is that they believe that employees working from home take advantage of decreased supervision to slack. Now o

I'm talking about the index. No, you haven't. Because if you did, you woulnd't be looking at an exponential and saying "but but but it reverts!!!!"

You're making this sound more complicated that it is. Correlations, random walks, backtesting, strategies, rebalancing, kelly criterion, have nothing to do with this. Bonds give you cash later. Cash loses value over time. Stocks give y

Maybe it hasn't been an active Mozilla mission for a decade in practice , but they did paid it lip service many times in the past decade, so still counts as breach of trust.
