While it's true that doing any amount more exercise is beneficial to the average person, they may not necessarily know/feel it. As we so often see super fit people in the media, it's easy to think we need to do hours of exerc

Your point is very valid. I know I would certainly have less awareness of global topics if social media didn't exist (and I don't even use it that much). Social media is definitely contributing to mental health issues too. Do yo

With stories like these, it's easy to blame the guy and say he should've known better than to get into debt. To an extent I agree, however there's probably a bigger picture takeaway. There is a mismatch between what people ex

The "loosey-goosey" approach to data in coding is one of my biggest pet peeves. Some people absolutely insist on making everything as dynamic as possible, and then wonder why we end up with a buggy mess. I always found it very n

I have seen the insides of an options market maker, and can say this is not really true (at least for some regions of the market). Black-Scholes is used to derive theoretical prices for options. Good option traders will have an opinion on v

Video calls do work to some extent, true. Just having some form of rapport with someone helps. However, I think there are some downsides to calls: - The person has to agree to the call (tricky if they are already not responding and/or

From my own experience at a hybrid company, sample size 1, there's a marked difference in interaction between me and other devs when we meet in person. It's basically like I don't exist and am worth 0 to them before we'v

It's come to fascinate me how modern medicine is simultaneously miracle-performing and devastatingly primitive. We can repair tiny structures, regrow organs, eradicate diseases from existence. And yet, you could fall unwell with someth

I propose a theory/rule that every new C++ version takes superlinearly longer than the previous to implement. Currently the Standard is at C++23 and we are ~4 years behind (C++20 is not portable, as you say). At this rate, by the time

Astounding how many people here refute the premise of the article. For many of these products it seems uncontroversially true, you are indeed paying more and producing more waste (and sometimes receiving a crappier product) for a small conv

I feel like this article doesn't address the crux of why multithreading can't be faster. Kinda smells like LLM-style writing too - a lot of text that sounds like it's explaining something but skips too many details to be a gr

This seems plausible enough. I guess I'm surprised that one can live sustainably with such a lifestyle and income. Wild because I would consider myself "barely getting anywhere in life" living the typical 9-5 job, probably ea

My first impression after reading a bit about their lifestyle was "how on earth do they have time for all this?" Things like maintaining the boat, sourcing fresh food every day for cooking, making games, creating art. Meanwhile th

As a person who works in HFT, I don't really understand the supposed edge of hedge funds. The article makes it sound like the core strategy is buying some stocks and selling others. Why is this revolutionary though? Selling is just off

Looks like the author is into game development, and STL is often avoided in that context. I think one of the reasons is performance - STL has made some design decisions which prioritise general use over performance. Often cited example is `

Agreed, I find it astounding how so many people seem to be ok with devoting almost all their useful hours of life to work (although maybe they aren't ok but cope / convince themselves somehow). My weekday: get up and immediately g

That atomics talk by Sutter is a superbly high quality explanation, albeit long. He addresses the topic with exceptional rigor and plenty of examples that show what can and can't happen. It for sure took me from 0 to 100 knowledge on t

The article says a lot about CPUs reordering memory instructions - is this actually the main cause of the issues with the shown code? Speaking of x86 specifically, instructions are aggressively reordered but as far as I understood it, the r
