-4 makes sense if you understand that the input -2 is a unary minus operation. So typing -2 then hitting square only squares 2, not (-2). This is the same in eg Python so I'm not sure it's very controversial. I agree it's une

The relationship between dairy/meat and inflammation is more nuanced than that. While some studies show associations with inflammatory markers, others find neutral or even anti-inflammatory effects depending on the type (e.g., grass-fe

Academia is not more notorious for politics than a corporate job, in my opinion. I've done both. Academia tries its very best to be meritocratic if anything. There is of course some degree of politics, it is inevitable, which was the p

Politics and leadership is a responsibility. By avoiding it, you're setting a bad example. Once you know how an organization works, you should help lead it. If we consider a family, you're essentially saying you'll only &quot

You say that as if politics is optional. It isn't, decisions need to be made and politics is the process of making those decisions: who decides, and why. In academia, for example, there is less politics because the publishing system so

Completely insane, who doesn't get to have coffee breaks without manager permission? Surely any org that treats its employees as adults would not have this problem.

I'll be honest, this code is easier to read for me without the comments. Also sorting feels like it's going to be slower than having some kind of set structure? You don't need ordering, just collocation of duplicates. If not

Liberalism is a reductionist non-answer to realpolitik. See the sibling comment for what actual reasons there are.

Interesting deep dive. Can't say I understand the nuances really, and some of the Rust syntax looks incredibly arcane to me as an outsider.

Actually a very interesting article! Didn't know he'd been selling this lie for so long.

You could use exactly the same rhetoric to make the opposite argument.

The good brand of open-source software is basically being abused to do basic rug pull schemes. Sad.

I think those people realize this, but it's a bit like global warming. They like their lifestyles.

Most people I know realize they should have had kids sooner once they have them. Adoption is also not that easy, there are plenty of cases where adoption causes kidnapping.

In statistics we call it "conditional independence", attachment style is independent from maternal relationship if we know childhood friendship outcomes.

I think sequel kids, more than anything, benefit from having a trailblazer to refer to. It's no doubt true that parents get better at the job, but kids learn from demonstration. Older sibling is hypersensitive and has a hard time keepi

Sounding in this usage is far, far older than the sounding you're talking about.

Sorry but this is legitimately a terrible way to encode this data. The number 0.8 is encoded as base64 encoded ascii decimals. The bits 1 and 0 similarly. URLs should not be long for many reasons, like sharing and preventing them from being

Uh, this is a strange thing to ask, but have you seen birds fly? It is most certainly not vertical take off (or landing.)

I sense you were trying to make a different point than what you made. Cancer _is_ treated in that way, that is basically how chemo works.

I just never run it in full auto, I look at its proposed changes and more often than not ask it to do it another way. Sometimes I'm just so disappointed that I just go code it up myself.

How about smaller buses then? This is quite common in the Nordic region it seems.
