Trying to imagine myself in the 17th century I'm pretty sure I would do the same thing. Information travels slowly and deformed by mouth, there's no real scientific community, government institutions don't deal with medicine

You can't think or reason your way to accepting death. Nor can others explain it. You reach that acceptance through having certain experiences. Long periods of suffering being one of those experiences.

That is exactly my point. So how are you disagreeing?

> Villains are heroes of their own story. This is something we must take to heart if we are ever to learn anything useful from history. I would go even further and say there are no villains or heroes, real or imagined. It's just peo

Injuries are not talked about enough on the internet. And they should be the number one topic for amateur fitness enthusiasts of any kind. Everybody is focusing on impressive performance results but: - you will never achieve anything resemb

The bar for "scientists" is basically ground level. So is the bar for articles. I don't think there was ever a time when pain was thought to depend on consciousness, even before modern science.

I do not understand why they chose random assignment as a base line instead of round robin which is really the simplest common load balancing algorithm.

I keep hearing this argument that we already have AI, it's just the naysayers move the definition. Level 5 autonomous driving is specific, practical, functionally defined. Where's the breeze implementation?

That quote bothered me the most out of the entire article. It's indoctrination 101 - if you don't believe/agree there is something wrong with you.

She's in an upswing stage of mental energy. Live long enough and find out that these up and down swings are constant throughout anybody's life. When people are up they look for reasons and form semi-religious devotion to a pattern

I'm having a hard time understanding these ethical questions about things that we haven't proven we can build and I'm very skeptical about the "Soon" part. It all seems like trying to build an air traffic control m

I think it's an unavoidable outcome of optimization. Like when you sacrifice Cha for Str and Dex in RPGs. In games you have limited attribute points, but in real life you also have limited resources. Assign them to competing with peopl

Good old times nostalgia is human nature. But less acceptable when it is for times you yourself haven't lived in. That's just "I was born too late" which is quite pathetic imho. But what does this have to do with the art

I do not support Trump, I am not even from the US. My standards for the president of the no 1 military and economic world power are a lot higher than Trump. Do you see though how instead of talking about the psychology of choosing leaders w

This is a political piece thinly veiled as psychology article. I know most people upvote this kind of stories just based on the title and use that as a conversation starter. But we are helping to rank cheap propaganda and I think that is a

I would say more societal peer pressure than shame, but I don't want to argue semantics. I think that yeah, some of that went away, but another wave in another form is being created right now. Take a look at things like the fitness mov

Just for the sake of discussion: couldn't the same thing be achieved with sepparate code bases of puppet for each component and the infra? I'm no big fan of monorepos either. If it worked, it worked, though. I'm not arguing w

I'm not saying we shouldn't try. Far from it. But activism is not really the answer. We must focus on real science, slowly reduce unnecessary consumption because any energy and material and fabrication will pollute, test pilot pro

Activists still thinking what they do matters and how they do it is crucial. In reality it all amounts to nothing. Climate change is a very difficult problem, we don't know what to do about it, it's not that we do but don't w

I really don't understand what Dockerfiles offer in terms of reproducible builds that a minimal install of a distro + a config manager didn't. I feel like we took Ansible roles (for example, it could be Puppet, CFEngine, whatever)

I could share tens, but the stories are too long for a reply here. But I will address your point about being more open. I know several cases where it did make them more open but that was a bad thing since they where already too open. So it&

All the drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, caffeine. Why are you asking?

After spending several years in groups that are very positive about drugs I reached the same conclusion that should have been obvious from the beginning: drugs should be left to the medical professionals. Even if it takes decades from now f

I think we can safely say that about most of Europe and Asia too. Don't know about other parts of the world but I don't think there's any significant part where trust in institutions is significantly rising. For a lot of obje

When I was 40 I went from ~16% body fat to ~9% while also gaining about 5% of my body weight in muscle. It took me 2 years during which I experimented a lot with nutrition. I also consumed every article, video, study, advice, etc that I cou
