Just look at the size of American football players. William Perry was considered a giant in the 1980s coming in around 330lbs. College linemen are often bigger today. Up into the 70s the average lineman was 250.

Does your home have working windows and are they double hung sash windows? The intent was the bottom sash would be opened on the cool side of the house and the upper sash on the hot side. This would create an airflow of cooler air entering

It’s funny how the concept of rights have been twisted from things the government can’t do to you to things they must do to you.

Many turn of the century homes have large “sleeper porches” as the science of the day thought there were health benefits to sleeping outside. TB was an issue back then.

Don't worry about it. You were exposed to a very small amount a single time. It's the repeated exposure day after day that kills people. Saying that, yeah it's not nice. But the single exposure to dust isn't going to hur

Adequate food and water and shelter is available to everyone. We spend billions on it every year. People choose not to access it either due to mental illness, drug/alcohol addiction, or some other antisocial or personal reason. And alt

GenZ own homes at a greater rate than any previous generation for their age. Millennials are a bit behind GenX and Boomers but are starting to catch up. This myth that young people can’t get into the housing market is simply that - a myth.

I never said examples (video, text, discussion) weren’t valuable. They’re essential. You had know-how of the game. You were shown the key and were able to execute because you’ve attempted it a bunch of times and failed. Someone given all th

You don’t gain know-how though. You get acquainted with the concept and gain knowledge by watching or reading a thing. But until you do it and discover it’s intricacies you don’t have know-how. My point being that many people stop at watchi

Right but the price of dental work goes up in price over time too. And healthcare has dramatically outpaced inflation.
854.
by nemo44x 3y ago
Healthcare (including dental) costs have outpaced inflation though. The price of all those procedures is likely to increase more than inflation. Similar to how it would be a bargain to have paid for a college education today 20 years ago.

by nemo44x 3y ago
What’s a fair price? Spending well over $20k on dental work over a lifetime is easy for many people. Adjust for inflation and it’s a steal. Cavities often lead to eventual root canals which require a crown which one day will probably requir

The only way to acquire know-how is by doing. Failure and repetition are the best teachers. People are lazy and entitled and believe they should just be able to passively acquire knowledge without doing work and they blame incompatible “lea

How is it different than a search index? It takes existing content as an input, processes it and then outputs data structures from it. Those data structures are then used to power full text search. A LLM does the same thing but instead of s

Yeah sure I guess but that’s not a real problem, at least not now or in the near future. Good chance it won’t even be a project I need to budget for by then. I’m really more interested in getting shit done today rather than worrying about 1

Even as much as knowing there will be a bottle of water in your room or what type of meals will be served on your flight make a huge difference. It’s one less thing to think about. There’s a lot of these types of things and being a regular

by nemo44x 3y ago
This was the sweet spot for the ELK stack really. You could get the main functionality that Splunk had and self manage it (or run out of a Cloud more recently) and scale to whatever you wanted to.

Yeah if your goal is to offer it as a service then you’re out of luck. But if you plan on building anything else then you’re fine. Mongo is a thriving database so I’m not worried about it being abandon.

by nemo44x 3y ago
Because just about no one cares and I want to burn down a backlog quickly and often mongo enables that. Developer productivity is far more valuable that open source purity.

by nemo44x 3y ago
Because the developer productivity is great because the language drivers that interface with the database are seamless with your code. MongoDB lets you burn down a backlog better than any other database. It’s not right for every problem but
