This is a type of discussion where I'm always infuriated that I have to use the wrong terms to describe both the problem and potential solutions. Being forced to choose in terms of "growth" or "degrowth" reduces eve

Why do you say that? Most individuals that aren't respected by society had that respect, yet lost it through some action (like dealing drugs). I think we're seeing things in different frameworks, and I'm considering the end r

If you want to take purely moral grounds, there's nothing to make prostitution or Onlyfans "wrong", except if done with exploitation. At the same time, it contributes to the demographic crysis, and if you care about results,

So the US borrows annually around $1.6T and pays in interest almost $0.7T. That means that it's burning $0.7T yearly to increase the debt by a trillion? And the entire amount of taxes collected from corporations is less than two thirds

The dimensions of these punishments have no reason other than pure intimidation. While I'm against the practice of releasing private data, years of prison without needing to even prove damage but only intention is absurd beyond all mea

Almost all of the existing licenses were designed many years ago, before LLMs and enterprise cloud abused the open source model. Only half jokingly, I wanted a couple months ago to change the license of a Javascript project I made to allow

In most bookstores a Moleskine really is the best brand available, so I completely understand your choice. Good luck that you won't need to use the codes though.

Honestly, I now think most people with a Moleskin are doing it primarily for show. They do have nice quality paper, so it's not really a bad choice, only could be better depending on what your exact needs are. For work I ended at Marum

What's absolutely amazing about that is how far people go to do everything in pure CSS, without Javascript, that they put Javascript inside their CSS.

I'm sure you mean well, but this is exactly the the non-founder response I'm talking about. And maybe things were different 20 years ago, I don't know. There's always something better I could have done as the person in c

After two unsuccessful but still alive start-ups, I've come to very similar conclusions. Absolutely every single time I've tried to say to it anyone other than a founder I was met with disbelief that eventually turned into accusat

Sure, I did read it too quickly, but why didn't he simply extend the generalized implementation instead of saying at the end that he was limited by the amount of RAM he has? Those runtimes seem quite a lot slower than what I would have

This can easily be optimized to use less memory, since pi is thankfully random. Do N passes over the data, and at each pass only put in your hashmap the values that mod N equal the current iteration. If you take N~100, the runtime would pro

Yeah, ironically in a post on writing well, the author turns a verb into a noun and then uses it to mean both "questions" and "requests".

At this point, Windows 11 is the Vista of this generation. I wonder how longer I can stay on 10 until they either fix it with Windows 12 or I'll get used to native Ubuntu with KDE.

Cool, someone should update the story now with the Collatz conjecture.

Sure, I won't put a case on my next phone as well, even if it's glass, but most people do use a case, which keeps incentivizing manufacturer to get away with more fragile designs. I'm mostly lamenting on how durability is a n

I abhor all these phones with a glass back, that look great in the store and then everyone puts an ugly back cover on. I'm still rocking a Pixel 5, which is actually my second Pixel 5. I really like using it without a case. It's l

You're right, generalizations are difficult, and I can't give a second hand summary of how the younger me perceived Tim's posts. One thing I remember is that he didn't give off the dogmatic stubbornness or indifference t

Before Timsort, I knew of Tim some 20 years ago from the ranking and online forum of SPOJ[1], a Polish competitive programming website where he always seemed to top the speed leaderboards with unorthodox usage of Python. He's exception

Yeah, I wrote my post as a joke, but I think that before modern medicine it would have been measurably better to be born in the autumn, so that your mother would have fresh produce in the most important months of fetal development.

There's a famous study that found that hockey players are statistically more likely to be born in certain months, due to them being the biggest in their year-groups, which created a self-fulfilling cycles of attention from coaches. Rei

One big reason for this I think is the big investment that Google made into the Chrome development tools, that were simply better than Firefox. For some reason as well, Firefox tabs just look wrong to me, as if the label is separate from th

I used to think like that, but after reading Anna Karenina I realized that I only get empathy from remarkably few works of fiction. Good writing is very very very hard.

You're right, it's a totally different thing that they're doing. That's why I'm conflicted, since I'm openly against digital nomads. It's still glamourizing a lifestyle that I can't see working on a l

I'm always a bit conflicted when I see these kinds of stories, due to the message they send. I remember vising the Seychelles a few years ago, and finding it an earthly paradise, the kind that everyone should experience at least once.

Nice coincidence! Last week-end I remembered watching Connections in the 1990s on TV, blowing my 7th grade mind back then, and then watched it partly out of nostalgia. I ended up binging it, and was surprised that it felt even better now. E
