What’s the alternative that’s better? Having a 5/1 or 1/1 ARM just means that your current house’s mortgage would also be more expensive because your 3% mortgage would have adjusted upward by now. If you’re willing to have your

For this situation, it’s not clear that a live display is more helpful than a replay of ADS-B data that you could explore later. Something like: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?replay=2025-12-01-16:38&lat=...

It’s also what critical thinkers do when evaluating “what percentage full of shit do I think this author is?” If a glaring innumeracy or terrible estimate is in the article, why did the author include that? What was their angle? Does that m

I agree that some random leetcode-hard problem is not a good indicator, but if you can’t write fizzbuzz or can’t sum an array of integers, you’ve given me important data about your skills as a programmer on that day.

There is plenty of opportunity to build high density family housing legally, even despite current regulations. What’s not as easy is to build it as quickly and profitably as high-margin single families for end-users in the suburbs. High-den

A user cannot downvote a comment that’s directly in reply to their own. It was likely other user(s) who downvoted a comment that they perceived as low-effort and adding little to the discussion, which I could easily see if the entire commen

There are a few things to unpack here. Clojure is a lisp hosted on the Java virtual machine (JVM). Subsequently, someone created Clojurescript which is an implementation (of the vast majority of) Clojure that compiles to JavaScript. The maj

Are you suggesting/implying that OpenAI lacks product-market fit? I think they found a market for their product, making what they did valuable. That can still lose money for a time, and even maybe run out of money, but what they have i

Most sites that accept user-generated-content are forced to do some level of moderation, lest they become a cesspit of one form or another (CSAM, threats, hate speech, exposing porn to underage users, stolen credit card sales, etc...)
