OT, but seeing "alot" always sends me here: https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-bette... Language is what people use, and "alot" is close to critical mass, so you'll out

Cameras are a mitigation for high waistlines, and only a partial one. Keep your cameras and alerts, and give me a car with better fields of vision. I think there are important dimensions of safety that go unmeasured. You have much less road

That raises an interesting point. The big religions of the world all explicitly teach kindness - personal and concrete kindness practiced by you, the follower. Is that what they effectively teach? Or is it just window dressing on top of und

I agree that "metaphysical" and "unverifiable" are traits of spirituality, as i understand the word. I consider theorem and animism to be categories of spirituality, but not the totality of it. I describe myself as a hum

I'm also impressed, but not in a good way. I consider certainty to be the biggest tell of falsehood, and I wish to deny the vote to people with certainty. Certainty of opinion on a complex topic reveals a belief that organic brains can

The usual distinction between rent and mortgage is that your housing costs build equity when you are paying off your mortgage. Either way, your salary vanishes, but if you pay off the mortgage then you own a six-figure asset. What the calcu

OT, but "ferriting” made me think of a steel stoat, or a magnetic mink. (I did also appreciate the insight in your comment.)

What killed it in truth was RAG, but let's stipulate that it was policy that drove users away. The thing that killed it was the thing that made it prominent. According to a blogpost i can't find any more about "how to speedru

I think you're ascribing intent to a stochastic outcome. China's rise comes because it acquired, from inauspicious beginnings, competence at planning an economy. Britain's decline relative to China comes because it is a democ

It is candid about the negatives of off-shoring. It certainly does have its back foot in economic orthodoxy, but a mouthpiece for the Rothschilds? Read three editions and see if you still think so.

You can infer direction from observable actions, and Microsoft is visibly going for dev mindshare with e.g. Typescript and VS Code. They recognise that they lost the battle for the dev desktop and the server OS, hence the pivot to xplat. Yo

Well, let's be friends then - I'm somewhat robust. But your calibration is off for good-natured ribbing. Either you skewer someone and they have the self-awareness to acknowledge it in good humour, or you reduce their life experie

Php does not distinguish between arrays and hashmaps, which means that an empty dict serialises to json as `[ ]`. You can configure it to serialise to `{ }` instead, but that's a global setting. No, i don't think I'm being ha

The reason you need AV on windows is because you are a granny who gets an "FBI" warning on a dodgy webpage and clicks the "pwn my shiz" button. If you don't install trojans, you don't need AV. If you do install
