For those that don't know, the laundry list of new stuff is probably all enabled by the first item in the list, just-in-time compilation. This means anything they can dream up can be included as a utility class, without bloating the co

It's experiences like that that teach me to not just follow the instructions but to think about how I would do it, then follow the instructions. It's a delicate balance of blindly following instructions (which is essential-- often

One problem is that the big companies (that, for the most part, pay the big bucks and people care about and other small companies look to) are market movers. If they are known to be doing some alternative to leetcode then leetcode-type webs

For the last time, not everything that's not everything that's a bad financial proposition == ponzi scheme. At what point have new drivers ever paid the wages of old drivers? Uber drivers have always done ok in the short term, new

Greg Mankiw's introductory economics textbooks (one for micro and one for macro, if you care about the sort of stuff in this thread you care about macro) are well respected and neutral. You don't have to read the latest edition, a

I'd say it's a bit early in the morning to get worked up over something that as of yet took place only in our minds.

Yeah possibly this is oversimplifying but you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to be Bill Watterson, be Bill Watterson. But you have to accept he's financially worth 1/10 of what his comic-creating peers of si

He remains part-time CTO for Oculus. I am talking out my ass but I believe the arrangement is something like 80/20 time split between his AGI project and Oculus.

Is there an estimate of what the externality cost is for the packaging per unit? Would be useful to compare to other things that harm the environment like eating meat, taking car rides, to know how much I should think about this. E.g. if my

Oh, I definitely bought into all sorts of notions my parent consciously or unconsciously tried to instill in me about video games, reading, etc. It's not all powerful but it is powerful. I'm fully ready to believe there are some s

What about when a big competitor that's free but has ads springs up and everyone jumps ship to that? Will we then "save" that company in turn by magicking your proposed policy into place for them, and then so on when another

By verbatim I assume you mean quoting a string. Example query using that that you consider unsatisfactory?

Yep, and on another level of importance but still important within that level, untold hours of human idleness and boredom sitting behind the wheel. I think drudgery is not too strong a word.

I'm always aghast when I go on social media or Reddit and see all the things people say about the unvaccinated dead. I can scarcely believe that the folks that post those things are nominally on the same side as me on most issues of su

Gaming both tabletop and video abounds with groups of different varieties, commitments, sizes. The video gaming side can tend towards the superficial or toxic not as a rule but as a tendency, due to access and anonymity. But a good board ga

>They would chase a story not because it was profitable, but because it was important. Not all of them, maybe not even most, but many. If you're going to water the statement down to that level, how does it not still apply today?

I think this is the main one. It's a form of price discrimination. Folks fall on a spectrum from willing to go to more trouble to get more money to not willing to go to any trouble at all. It's in the best interest of a company to

This is only true in the short run by the way. In the long run, in a competitive market, cost is absolutely the driver of price.

I'm pretty positive on this idea. Driving on roads imposes an externality on other people, why shouldn't we attempt to make drivers/companies internalize that cost by charging a toll? I'm not so positive on it that I wou
