I was playing with a toy program trying to hyperoptimize it and asked for suggestions. ChatGPT confidently gave me a few, with reasoning for each. Great. Implement it, benchmark, slower. In some cases much slower. I tell ChatGPT it&#x27

One of the only real fights I've ever had with my wife was over taking too many pictures. We'd arrive somewhere new, and the kid and I would be excited to see it and explore, only to get yelled at to stand this way or pose that w

UPS, too. I knew a couple OTRs who made 150k 2 decades ago. Not sure if they've kept up with inflation, but it was great money at the time. Of course, they had people fighting for those jobs, and from what I heard, about the only way

I'm convinced some are throwing things away. I have family in the midwest, from a city who made the news because of how backed up its USPS had become. Even intracity mail was taking 3 weeks to get delivered. The postmaster declined t

This might be too deep for this thread, but... does it ever get better? Of course when I was a child my parents told me how much better my childhood was than theirs...cue uphill both ways stories. But I find myself telling my child the oppo

You make good points. There is obviously the nature of admitting to enemies that you were wrong that you touch on. What I'm referring to is admitting to yourself that you're wrong, which seems much harder to do. I just experienced

This is kinda close, but not a perfect fit. It's best described as the brain putting up blinders to ignore obvious problems as not to have been duped. This is close, as it mentions changing beliefs for consistency, but not exactly the

I think this is probably the same phenomenon that makes people fall for romance scams despite the obvious red flags. Like a sunk cost fallacy for human emotion - is there a term for that? Nobody seems to want to admit they were wrong or &

I worked at a company that went through this. Honestly, it changed the entire mood of the company and working there. We went from thousands of messages per day to something like 10 (of those channels I was part of, at least). People just

I'm rather aware of the concept of markup. Marking up itself isn't the problem, it's completely understandable -why- that must exist in most cases. But either way, companies don't like to disclose their landed costs fo

I don't doubt good videos exist - I'm blaming YouTube for boosting the awful ones so it's all I see in my first page of search results, and the 'creators' who make them.

Retailers and middlemen typically don't like exposing how much -they- paid for an item. Exposing tariffs would show how much things are marked up from time of landing to reaching the shelves.

That tracks. It feels like as soon as you fall out of that 18-25, or 18-30 demo, the world leaves you behind. Now I understand why we always thought old people were so cranky!

Between shorts, search results, the ads, and the content...I treat youtube links like pinterest links these days. Basically, I'll only click it if I think I really, really need to see it. By 'content' I mean the fact that ev

As a search vehicle, absolutely. But they aren't sitting idly by - as much as I personally hate it, a lot of people like Gemini. Either way, it does spell a big danger to their primary source of revenue. What's interesting is th

People don't generally show up unarmed for a coup. I'm not sure what it was, but it surely wasn't a coup.

This leaves out a couple important things, at least from the complaint - 1 - ICE never entered the courtroom or interrupted. They stayed outside the room, which is public, but the judge didn't like this and sent them away. 2 - The jud

I don't like general advice like this, because it's too general. For many, it's probably good advice. For others, not so much. Anyone who has worked at a small company selling to large B2B SaaS can attest we get like 20 hit

Coming from Java or any heavy OO language is probably a bit of a shock. I've never really missed inheritance with the way it does composition. I think one of the 'mantras' of Go is having the writer know the cost of what th

I've been doing some performance tuning in Go lately to really squeak performance, and ended up with a very similar arena design except using byte slices for buf and chunks instead of unsafe pointers. I think I tried that too and it w

On every Android I've had, Samsung included, it's an option. I believe they're all enabled by default, but can be disabled.

It turns out, that isn't worth much. Because they upended the factories and sent them to Mexico and China overnight without a person to point and say where the jig was. Seemingly, they figured it out. To be clear, I'm not actual

I think something threaded similar to Reddit but without voting would be a nice middle ground. My biggest gripe with vBulletin style is how replies to earlier comments work and are so out of order.

One may assume. The problem then is compounded by the fact the president picks the secdef, and is more or less able to fire anyone showing an ounce of 'disloyalty', as we've seen happen in recent weeks. Twice if memory serve

It's always seemed weird to me that the founding fathers designed this system without thinking what would happen in such a scenario. You have three branches, for checks and balances, and gave one of them command of the entire US milita

They've been around forever and I believe number 2 or 3 in number of stores open in the US. You don't get that way without some people liking your product. It's fine that some people don't like it, but is ridiculous to

Managers often feign cluelessness because what else can they do? Tell you they submitted you for layoffs? Tell you they knew for weeks and said nothing? There's really no upside option here. I have no doubt that sometimes managers r

We should listen to him, he's predicted 15 of the last 1 recessions. Seriously, he says this every year. That he was right one year doesn't make him prophetic.
