Should have done GME stocks only. Now THAT would’ve been interesting to see how much they’d end up losing on that. Just riding a bubble up for 8 months with no consequences is not an indicator of anything.

I honestly don't get why you'd hate pandas more than anything else in the Python ecosystem. It's probably not the best tool in the world, and sure, like everybody else I'd rewrite the universe in Rust if I could start ov

There's been a translate button for years which hooks deep into every nook and cranny of the website's HTML. It works great, it's built in and many restaurants even advertise it for tourists, because it's a zero-effort t

Actually, big orgs are doing exactly that; slapping a chatbot onto their support ticket backlog. Being really, actually “data driven” is hard, and must happen from the bottom up. So instead there’s chatbots in their frontend and support bac

I wonder how many market inefficiencies this creates. People with worse education, people who cheated their way to a job opening compared to a better candidate, etc. Basically counteracting the productivity gains AI was supposed to bring.

IO and global state is also just inputs that can be part of arrange-act-assert. Instead of mocking your database call to always return "foo" when the word "SELECT" is in the query, insert a real "foo" in a real

Right? Maybe there's a follow-up: "...and that's why I built this stick-in-wet-clay emulating pen". I'm thinking it'd be like stamping, mostly.

If you ask Silicon Valley, any organizational problem can be a technical problem if you try hard enough.

Consider this simple example: Storing all your sensitive user data in one centralized location (e.g. a US server) would be great for any kind of analytics and modeling to tap into, and is technically very easy to do, but it also violates vi

Just to add a less opinionated take: https://www.citymonitor.ai/analysis/why-winter-is-a-poor-arg... Personally I've also biked to work (and everywhere, really) in sub-zero degrees many times, because the bicycle

I have colleagues who bought new EVs and made money selling them one year later, because the market was so wild back then. For a while you could still add some deductions here, some credit there, sell an old car and “girl math” your way t

The term is actually a Chinese loanword, 火爐. One could then argue that without writing it with characters it just becomes meaningless sounds, which could have originated from any number of characters, if given no context. So therefore, your

I hate when libraries do that, or create a `def ClassLike`. I’ve found the library `beartype` to be very good for runtime checks built into partially annotated `Annotated` types with custom validators, so instead of instance checks you rely

Pretty sure what went down in Late Holocene Patagonia isn’t common sense.

In relation to this, I really hate the South Korean convenience stores’ aggressive 2-for-1 on many of the most basic things, because you know you’re essentially being forced into buying the second item you didn’t need.

It's funny that you're using the word "deserve". Based on whose moral framework? I'm not sure current moral frameworks on Earth would be against colonizing the Universe if it was possible.

Ah yes, data citizens and no-code. I wonder what kind of insanity we’ll see in the future.

The Internet for example is thought to be “democratizing” for society, but in reality some argue we’re now living under a system of “technofeudalism” [1] which is anything but. E.g. just a handful of Internet-enabled companies essentially r

Maybe these people are trying to keep their skills and degrees honed somehow in a bad market, rather than going straight for a less-distressing-but-also-lower-paying job that does nothing to their skillset.

Funny thing is, these communities aren’t readily visible in real life. At the Japanese language school I attend people are mostly regular people with regular lives and regular limitations. Online, you’d believe that everybody did Wanikani o

This just sounds like a different way of saying "one more lane bro, trust me". Usually one doesn't "shut down" a road, but divert lanes, perform construction outside of peak hours (e.g. at night) etc. Finally, some

My company’s use of code is a means to an end, not the goal. If we could just have all our code written in bash loops that’d be a brilliant time saver. Unfortunately, some of the code is very gnarly business-y, poorly tested, and may even h

I don't know if you'll be reading this, but my first intuition would be to determine my effective sampling rate, and determine if samples are comparable at all in the first place. For example, if your phenomenon is observable at 5
