Doesn't sound very different from Grandma's recipe cards in terms of information density, potentially harder to follow if you have to deal with video playback. Recipe blogs also have compressed instructions, so it's not like

For me criticism has a "judgey" connotation whereas I see this as more of an observation, but I understand associating a negative trait with Asperger's as if it inevitably leads to that trait being off-putting.

There's a big difference between attributing a set of behaviors to a mental condition that is known to influence patterns of thinking and behavior, and attributing it to skin color. You can clearly tell that Musk has Asperger's ju

I think you might be seeing criticism where there isn't because it's about Elon Musk. I agree with the sentiment that you don't need to "diagnose" everyone and everything, but I think that's also a symptom of o

It's not ableist. It's just incorrect. It wouldn't be wrong if you replaced Asperger's with say ADHD. Be careful of slapping -ism/-ist labels on anything that offends you personally when there's no clear discri

My point is not that induction can't yield good results depending on the dish, but rather that people who care about cooking on a direct flame will not be satisfied with something that is suitable for "most" recipes. I'v

That's disingenuous, Chinese households may have higher capacity burners than the average Western household but do not go anywhere near 100,000 BTU. This is reserved for restaurants. North of 10,000 is plenty for home cooking.

That sounds a lot like the old "tastes approximately just like beef!" testimonies going around at the start of the last wave of vegan fake meat products. Yeah sure, some people might find the substitute to be palatable. But most o

Your comment reminds me of this line from the submission: "There’s also a generational divide in journalism, with younger journalists tending to be more openly left/progressive than their older peers — and tending to be more Manic

Last I heard, at least one of those "confirmed suicides" failed to appear in government databases, which casts doubt on its legitimacy (I assume it is one of those counted as "confirmed"), and another was associated with

I hate going to a project's GitHub page and seeing so much fluff and unnecessary or redundant information concealing the things that actually matter. If you want to show off, please do it on a separate website. I want to know what it i

You're right, I got the scale wrong, my bad. I'll blame the late hour ;) It's still too high for pet cats (>1 mammal killed a week supposedly based on the average estimate and the same overestimation of 200 million cats, i

It also suggests that up to >20 billion mammals are killed by those cats each year. Quick Google search says that there are fewer than 60 million domestic pet cats in the US, and about the same number of feral cats. So on average domesti

In other words you succumbed to peer pressure from a crowd that is obsessed with identity labels. I see people of all shades use tones. To me it just says "btw I'm <race>". I can't help but think "who cares&qu

It depends on the domain. I would be cautious about assuming that concise comments explaining what is being done in a block of non-trivial code are unnecessary. I have seen too many people write code they assume to be trivial (after spendin

Seems more fashionable to deny that general intelligence is real or that IQ tests can measure it with a fair degree of accuracy nowadays.

I think a lot of people are simply anxious and have trouble making long-term commitments, and conflate that feeling with this abstract idea of readiness. No one is "ready" to do something for the first time including child-rearing

I'm amazed at how unprofessional the management's reaction has been to the blackout. They could've waited a couple of weeks for the controversy to die down. Instead they further escalated the issue and are now making utterly

This is actually egregious. I was indifferent about the whole API pricing controversy, but I saw that a few posts I'd deleted for various reasons are back up. I'm deleting my entire message history and will not be posting on Reddi

I'd argue that any alteration to the prose is counter to authorial intent. Some people might be fine with that, but I don't want to read a book not knowing whether words were substituted for others because some editor thought that

For this comparison to make sense, the slave would have to sell themselves. Which is a very different conversation from what is commonly understood as slavery.
