Because reading Harry Potter is more fun than reading an economics textbook. And eating pizza is more fun than chicken + broccoli. tl;dr FUN!!

I was getting paid £200k/yr as a Software Engineer for a company with an unresponsive offshore IT help desk. I would often spend a few hours (!!) a day helping various stakeholders with their desktops/printers/email. This was

I use a Tommy Bahama beach chair for this, and I love it. I find it comfortable, reasonably adjustable. Quality is good value for the price but not incredible. Size is not too small, but it has a storage bag + cool bag on the back so it can

Yes and the prescription is even more new builds. We need immigration, we are aging.

The majority of people cannot afford their own home at today's prices. That is the simplest metric I've found for the intergenerational robbery taking place. The government will try their best to keep housing pegged but it will bl

Honestly these stores add a layer of functionality to Japanese life (along with vending machines) that increases QoL much beyond reasonable expectation. They have become a bit of a meme, but it's one thing I really miss from my brief t

The last 20% of any project is where 80% of the work lies. At the beginning its fun and frenetic, you can write tons of code and feel like you've made big progress. The last 20% is integrations, debugging, sometimes painful bits you ha

100% of the renewable capacity is backed by the equivalent capacity for natural gas. This is fine it it is intended, and people understand that intermittent renewables are inexorably linked to natural gas. At least for the time being. The

Investing is just anything you buy with an expected return. So you can buy boots with the expectation of selling them - and that is an investment. But I completely agree with your fundamental point - it would be better described as a sunk-c

It is petulant - but it is also politically savvy. This is exactly the kind of rhetoric the UK government tries very hard to dispel.

Ah yes, I whack out four or five natural language input tokenizers before lunch most days.

I worked myself into the dirt for 2 years for a start-up that ended up failing. It felt like I aged 10 years. My hairline receded an inch - my hair started going grey - and I gained 15kg. I'm undoing the damage now - but I can tell I&#

This has caused a bit of a stir because the UK hasn't quite understood the relative weakness of wage growth for the last 10 years. The culturally understood milestones of "high pay" 30/50k have also not increased with in

How does the keyboard compare? Out of genuine interest because I'm likely to do the same.

I'm not sure I quite get it. Or at least the article doesn't make much sense of it. Is the idea that this is a helpful system because of it's rhyming? I've been trying to imagine how that would help counting sheep, but j

Maybe not a huge issue in itself, but points to a culture that is simply broken. A confluence of issues like this lead to a highly idiosyncratic ecosystem - and hence to the negative view of PHP that many have.

In terms of elements, yes there are some fundamental limits. The limit (as I was taught in undergrad physics) we practically estimated by finding the heaviest element where an electron does not breach the speed of light.

Yes, and you can test it yourself on already consumer available quantum hardware via AWS.

It really won't beat modern fast lenses. Try a lowlight situation. You will not be able to beat a larger aperture for light collection, it's simply how many photons you can catch.

Text books are highly dense, and often complete works on a subject (or with reference to others forming a corpus of complete works). Some are kept up-to-date on a subject with annexes. Few wrote read textbooks, they are often used as refere

Being able to configure simply the execution (async, process, thread) is pure gold, I am tempted to use it for this alone.

Not building is a symptom of a larger problem, not the disease itself. The issue people take with your comment is that it has gotten to the point that building pretty much anything would alleviate the disease, and you are applying nuance wh
