I don't know why I even bothered to try to push back, beyond the fact that these kind of "philosophers" plague the anime community. The pattern is very predictable. Tons and tons of ink spilled to try to explain why they&#x27

I don't even know what this show is, but I can guarantee you any pedo-related stuff in there is highly unlikely to be for the purpose of "depictions or explorations of psychology". Come on, don't try to kid me. It's

The whole "us vs them" being manufactured in "remote vs onsite" is really suspicious to me. I have never actually heard from a single person who wanted to force remote people in, or a remote person who wanted to force on

So did the year of the EUV lithography happen? What year was it? (Genuinely asking, I don't know anything about chips - I'm the kind of programmer who is profoundly comforted by pretending like my CPU is like a really fast version

Is amazon's model even profitable for these low-price high-volume parts without its binning system? I literally do not buy things off amazon that fall into these "binning problem" categories, or anything easily counterfeitabl

IME, it's based off of "performance", not performance. So what happens is someone 4 levels above you on the org chart has a google sheet of all their underlings, their most recent grade - erm I mean performance review result

Humanity is going to face a reckoning about free will and agency at some point, I think. If the gambler is but a slave to their lizard brain, then isn't the murderer too? Surely no-one sits down and performs calculus and determines &qu

The author mentioned significantly more notable prod/dev differences than the posthog API key, which I suspect is where they looked first and second. So no, not an obvious place to start.

This is going to come off as tangential at first, but I am beginning to think that the next great human progress will not be engineering, or science, but philosophy. We discovered nuclear fission in the 40s. We can fix atmospheric nitrogen

Don't we pretty much understand stars though? Big ball of gas, hydrogen fusion, etc. Are there any unaccounted energy outflows that would leave room for something like this? The main reason we look at black holes so hard is because qua

It's clear that huge swathes of physics are deterministic! Or at least anything non-deterministic is on a small-enough order that we can still build rockets and keep clocks on satellites and earth in sync. And I agree that a world comp

No mention of `errors.Is` or error wrapping? IMO that's where the pain starts. I definitely agree that in many programs, when an error happens, you're done, you just blast up the stack and then the error message goes into a sentry
