I'm not sure what is the point of using MongoDB these days, when you can as easily store and query jsonb in postgres.

Nerds who code for fun often also have the advantage of being single and childless. One's capability for learning and self-improvement really diminishes once you have one or two small kids at home. It's pretty much like working tw

South Korea's birth rate is extremely low even by rich Western world standards. Attitudes towards women are one root cause, materialistic culture another, but their horrible working life is probably even more significant factor. It&#x2

Yeah, there is a reason why South Korea continues to break records for the lowest fertility rate in the world, making even Japan's birth rate issues look small in comparison. Their society appears to be deeply, deeply sick in numerous

I've had tomatoes grown successfully, with decent yield in pots that take maybe 30L of soil, and without any perlite. It isn't that hard if we're talking about hobbyist stuff, where results don't have to be ideal but jus

Yes, variety matters a lot. I've managed to grow tomatoes quite well in pots located outside in Northern European climate, simply by picking a traditional variety that is known to be easy to grow. (In Germany it's known as "B

You don't need an "extinction event" to hurt coffee production so much that drinking it (especially Arabica) becomes an expensive luxury due to lack of supply. Crops that are grown only in particular parts of the world will s

Somehow caffeine from Maté feels different though. To me coffee gives a fast spike and then comedown, while Maté's effect is more balanced, and lasts longer. And I don't think it's just caffeine content, because tea is nothin

I genuinely don't see in nuclear armament for Europe, considering it's the one thing that has kept WW3 away until now. All countries bordering Russia should just get nukes ASAP. It's literally the best way to preserve peace.

It's all quite random and also depends on genetics. I lived in rural area with very little air pollution, played outside. Yet I got multiple allergies, including hay fever, and hay was plenty in the area. Many of my close relatives hav

Same here, it's a massive risk to trust any important data or services to be handled by American companies now. Thankfully I was already fairly decoupled from US big tech, so the transition took just a couple of days.

I think it's time for foreign buyers of F-35 to evaluate that choice too.

At this point, for most of the world buying a Chinese product carries less geopolitical risk than buying similar American product. China is predictable in advancing its own interests abroad, while Trump's administration has shown itsel

I only used it occasionally, took it about 1 hours before going to sleep. I can't really comment on daily use or dosage. I just bought whatever CBD oil a local market was selling. It contains 10% broad spectrum CBD isolate (rest being

I tried 200mg L-theanine pills for some days. I noticed a slightly calming effect, but after the supposed effect wore off, I suffered from unusually high level of anxiety. So I guess it can give you withdrawal symptoms. CBD worked much bett

I bet current US government's economic policies will be even more effective at reducing food waste. Food waste will be radically reduced when the prices skyrocket, and the masses can barely afford their groceries, let alone eating out.

At least in my country I've seen so many young people move to cities to get a better education, only to end up unemployed or working a dead-end job, as they're competing with all other young grads who did the same in a stagnating

Depends from the definition of "far-left utopia" I guess. I admit that I'm an outsider, but in terms of social welfare and equality, the US still seems closer to capitalist dystopia than a far-left utopia. Expensive healthcar

Yep, here's a pretty good summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpPTRcz1no Indeed I believe that the current administration's end-goal is the collapse of the US as we know it. Thiel and other billionaires need

Based on last few weeks I'll be genuinely surprised if there will be fair elections in 2028.

Baltic states are tiny compared to Russia, and Russians really don't care how many soldiers they lose. So, of course Russians can steamroll the Baltics if there isn't significant foreign help. But I agree it's EU leader'

Neither Antarctica or Mars should be a problem, as long as you have sufficient energy source, and bring some soil & nutrients with you. After all, people make money growing weed indoors with only electrical lights. My country has freezi

The US no longer playing world police isn't what's disturbing, it's understandable that they want EU to take care of its defense. The disturbing thing is how the current administration blamed Ukraine for the war, sees Putin&#

It's indeed easy not to care about "our beef with Russia" when you're far away from them. The feeling is quite different when you live next to them, and know that your home might get bombed one day because of Putin'

My country bought the F-35 for the sole purpose of being a deterrent to a future Russian invasion. Now that the US and Russia are allies, how can we trust that those planes will receive spare parts and other support during a conflict? I thi

Yep, the potential tipping points are terrifying. If the gulf stream collapses, my country will basically turn into Siberia, and our agriculture will collapse. It's kind of hard justify taking a typical mortgage that takes 20 years to

Definitely. At this point rest of the world might as well become friends with China. At least Xi Jinping the CCP aren't idiots, which makes them more predictable to deal with than Trump's regime.

I'm not sure censorship or lack of it matters for most use cases. Why would businesses using LLM to speed up their processes, or a programmer using it to write code care about how accurately it answers to political questions?
