Everything is addictive, what matters is when the addiction subverts your intrinsic goals.I think what people need to be spared is some moralism about what your intrinsic goals "should" be. Some people's intrinsic goal is to

Greece is a truly magical place - I would highly recommend a trip for anyone even vaguely interested in ancient history. There are little gems like this everywhere.

Having lived in the UK and the US, I think a strong reason is that the copper wire is literally entrenched. There seems to be a strong (legislative? legal? political?) aversion to easily replaceable overhead wires. Underground cable is th

As a UK based engineer these FAANG salaries seem huge. In some cases these salaries are 10x my own salary and I'm considered to be paid well. My UK cohort seem to think this is due to some difference in the cost of living but I don&#x2

I agree with a lot of what you said - I mean this with the highest degree of respect - but I've noticed a certain strain of assertions here that throws off alarm bells. Do you have some resources on this "frugavorian" thing?

I'm not saying I agree with it - but metaphors matter. It's easy to imagine certain design patterns being associated with offensive stereotypes. How much do we have to extend 'master' and 'slave' before the met

I've convinced many of my loved ones to get two-factor authentication on at least their primary e-mail addresses and to treat everything as something that can be compromised e.g. don't make any of your bank accounts front facing t
