To be fair, the actual lesson of Fight Club is that maybe you do need a woman in your life. :D (That and don't delude yourself into believing the fascist inside of you.) What really killed corporate loyalty for a lot of us was the lac

This is almost certainly a nice story we tell ourselves about a mythical past that just didn't exist. It can be annoying to say, but modern factory produced things are in an absurdly higher quality spectrum than most of what proceeded

Curious if it works on beards, now. Though, I would also somewhat expect pulling at it increases blood flow, which I would think to have some impact on growth?

I confess this largely surprises me for reasons that I think should not surprise me. I would expect current AI is largely best at guessing at what some writing was based on expectations of other things it has managed to "read."

Right, I've also seen people that couldn't get some higher math items because they haven't learned to recognize some things on sight. Curves are a good example. You should be able to roughly sight identify basic curves. Or

Kudos on the article! My understanding on BDDs is sadly not as strong as I would prefer it to be, so I'm guessing I am not quite caught up on how they are being used here. I think I was expecting to see the algorithm for merging multi

I am a little confused on the idea that the "C [node] appears twice" in the diagram. I would expect that both of those are the same node such that the standard BDD implementation would already have reduced those. Though, my unde

I've grown to see math as far more pattern matching than I remember it as a kid. I think that explains why "rote memorization" works more than folks want to admit for it.

Ish? Look into towns that didn't have a high reliance on tech. In particular, look for ones that didn't ride the rollercoaster of really high wages that a lot of tech drove and is now flattening off. Looks like shipping is also

I mean, sure? But this is like saying there is no safe way to get old. Which, is kind of accurate. But not what people think of when you say safe.

You get the same behavior from any editor, though? Hell, you'd probably get similar behavior if you switched brands of power tools. People are attached to their tools. That said, it would help if you didn't have hyperbole there.

Yeah, I would fully support "easy" there, but regaining weight isn't something most people think of as danger.

I'm heavily inclined to agree with the general thought, but I balk at the low level code showing why a language is bad at something. In this specific case, without the tidyverse, R isn't exactly peaches and cream. As annoying as

Did they go off the rails at the end, or deadlines force acknowledging that the project is not where folks want it to be? That said, I think I would agree with your main concern, there. If they question is "why did the devs make it so

I mean, you could probably level a very similar critique on how we view pretty much any society? Maybe I'm projecting, but it seems natural to think people assume looking at a society is a blend of looking at a picture and a mirror.

I mean, I get that it isn't incredibly difficult, but it still feels unnecessary. The cynic in me thinks this explains a bit of why the app based cameras are garbage. Do you expect the same when recording video if the user rotates the

by taeric 11mo ago
The advantage of the EXIF approach is you don't have to do nearly as much post processing of the data? In particular, I don't expect my camera application to need to change memory layout just because I have rotated my camera. So

I agree that hammering random things isn't where you should start. I do sadly have to admit that "just do something" is unreasonably effective. Which means if you have other things lined up, having teams that are somewhat r

Isn't it a touch on the required side, though? I'm assuming the orientation is a common metadata element of phone produced images, in particular. I'd assume same for decent cameras. Would love to see a good rundown of when

I feel this is exactly the same as efficiency. It isn't that we want inefficient solutions. But aiming for efficiency as a target often produces perverse incentives.

I'm... not even really clear what you are aiming for, to be honest. So, first to directly answer. The naive search showed dorms costing about 1000 a month, with standard rent being 1600. Which is a dramatic savings to be had. Now, do

I'm curious where you get that it is property tax driving costs? I know it isn't free, by any means. But compare dorms in a place like Atlanta to rent. Naive google shows it saves you about 600 a month? That is rather substant

I mean... this article discusses how this used to be done? It winds up looking a lot like dormitories at schools.

This is one that many arguing for more building also argue against. It is popular to talk about how we can make it so that people can afford a "starter home," not so that people have a cheap place to live.

Fair. I'd still expect most "in tech" people to be more sympathetic to how bad apps have become.
387.
by taeric 11mo ago
I'm curious that tech friends would push back on this. I'd expect them to be the ones to agree with the idea, oddly. The standard layman, on the other hand, wants to be able to trust that they can trust people.

Right, but my point is that you are still guarding a calculation, there. I suppose it is fair to say that this code just describes the paying for it side of things. My point is that I often want the code to describe everything I can activ

Well, the new stupid bright lights, yes. The idea of brights in general, though, not quite as bad. I'm also not clear why someone would leave brights up once they are close to something that has eyes. The idea is you can see them fur

Optimistic locking works great when what is excluded is effectively a calculation. The annoyance, though, is you have basically acknowledged that you can use a compare-and-swap at the end of your calculation to know that things worked. Thi
