With some, yes. The really obvious ones are fruity vs the more aromatic spice flavours. I can't tell regions apart and I'm unlikely to pick up which specific fruity flavour a coffee is meant to have - stonefruit vs berry or whatev

They really do taste different. Try a French roast vs a light roast some time if you want an extreme example, or a very tart wine and a very sweet one. The outliers at each end of the spectrum are very different. If you can't tell whic

It's not clear whether the article is condemning doing difficult things or whether it's specifically against getting verbally abused while you do them. I don't know if I'd enjoy the boot camp instructors yelling at me, b

While everything past 1 is cut-throat garbage, I'm not convinced that communicating what you've been doing is actually useless to the rest of the company. If you don't bullshit and just present your work then it's a good

How many authors on Substack expect to make a living from it? I get that if you have e.g. an Onlyfans or a full time acting career you expect to earn money, but how many writers have that expectation?

Sure. The implementation of React is orders of magnitude more complex than simply making a couple of HTML templates and sprinkling in vanilla js inside script tags, the implementation of sqlite is orders of magnitude more complex than simpl

"Make another endpoint for getting the whole thing in one go" is a pretty good description of what GraphQL does . Except instead of writing an endpoint in some general purpose language you define it declaratively.

I didn't mean it was badly written or that I love/hate guns, just that it embeds the beliefs of the writer about what a gun is . Americans tend to disagree on who should have guns, but they generally view them as weapons (which t

The gun thing is annoying because it embeds the very American belief that guns are exclusively meant for killing other people. The idea that, because human life is sacred, a farmer must shoot a labrador before shooting rabbits is irritating

Was this about that time the US govt paid CMU $1m? From memory that attack involved running a huge number of exit/relay nodes and someone was able to show a massive spike in online nodes as evidence, but I can't remember who.

What is the exact proposal here? Since the liver metabolises alcohol so quickly, and since these studies would follow a cohort over many months, you'd need to test the participants very frequently to catch moderate drinking. I mean, su

Someone who drinks must be discussed if you're designing a study about the effects of alcohol. The reason is irrelevant. One can, for example, imagine a world where a culture of covert hidden drinking in specific Muslim countries giv

This is part of a very important principle: if someone approaches you about something, you should be far more suspicious than if you had randomly picked someone off the street. The most well known application of this is teaching kids to ask

It might be the most fundamental but it's unlikely to be the most important. That award probably goes to all the things parents don't do, like drinking during pregnancy or feeding their toddler nothing but cereal and pizza for m

Namespaces in Maven seem like they're clunky. The pseudo-DNS thing where the first section is an actual domain but the second is whatever you want is quite janky, as is not matching the namespace to the package. Plus domains are transf

There are two massive reasons why js got here, with a million packages for tiny things and a culture of using them: browser cross-compatibility requiring complicated workarounds for easy-seeming tasks, and the introduction of promises + asy

I'd never heard of the mid-level escalators before. Apparently they're on a slope with an elevation gain of 135m over 800m, which is pretty serious for someone who's out to do some shopping: https://en.m.wikipedia.

There are some things that should be in one long function (or method). Consider dealing with the output of a (lexical) tokeniser. It is much easier to maintain a massive switch statement (or a bunch of ifs/elseifs) to handle each token

This feels like a false dichotomy. Is a shadow the absence of light or is it a black blob? Well: both! In a purely physical sense it's the absence of light but in your vision it's a black blob, and these are both true and useful.

The "Mediterranean diet" is its own thing and doesn't match the diet of actual Mediterranean countries in this century, and arguably wasn't even particularly close to the original 1960s populations that were studied. Oth

Sorry, hallucinate in the sense that the map says there's a track but there isn't anything there, whether or not it was drawn by a human. I meant it as an allusion to the map tripping balls but forgot that the overlap with AI term

Yes, but do we know how a cow experiences the loss of a calf? The loss of a human child is very painful because of human comprehension of permanence, death, and the future. Is a cow thinking "I can't find my child, I am sad, I&#x2

I don't think people are surprised that animals have thoughts and emotions. No farmer I know of thinks cows aren't capable of being trained: the ones down the road from my parents line up in an orderly queue to go into the dairy
