I don’t know if they’ll ever do that. Colors add another dimension, so you either need to have more stock on hand or do more custom models. Right now, the profit margins on all upgrades is huge. Phones have less configurability, they sell m

I was looking for an analogy and this is a good one. The noise to signal ratio seems so bad. You’d have to sift through every little “thought”. If I could record my thought stream would I add it to the commit? Hell no. Now, a summary of the

Seems totally appropriate to the project. It’s like going to a GitHub repo and scrolling to the Readme.

I might have missed it (tbh I started skimming at a certain point) but I was disappointed to not see any counter arguments or even downsides addressed.

I just really liked that question and response.

It reminds me of the difficulty of getting information on or off a blockchain. Yes, you’ve created this perfect logical world. But, getting in or out will transform you in unknown ways. It doesn’t make our world perfect.

So like 30x the population (not thousands). The thing about Reddit is it really amplifies voices. 10-100 people can be on the same subreddit and comment or post something, and it looks like “a lot” of people. It’s also much easier to be a n

These seems like an inherent challenge to recommending based on stars. Stars are very sparse, so there’s little “didn’t star this” signal, and there’s no “thumbs down”. So you’re left with things you “should” star, but there very well could

> anecdotally based on their own subjective experience So the “subjective” part counts against them. It’s better to make things objective. At least they should be reproducible examples. When it comes to the “anecdotally” part, that doesn

Hard to stay warmed up that way. What you’re describing is how people tend to get big without the gym (lifting heavy things through the day) but they also tend be pretty active in between (think farm work). But as long as you’re not going s

It’s like those animals that walk in little circles the size of their last pen.

This brings up an area that’s been on the edge of my curiosity for years: how do you combine the knowledge of the experts (contestants) with logic to do better either than either strategy individually? It’s mostly about how to elicit the in

The alternative to something trying to communicate through a Markov model isn’t that we’re alone. Just because there’s no life on Mars doesn’t mean there’s no other life in the universe.

Charts would have a link to tabular data. It’s the “business illustrations” that are more about understanding purpose.

I really didn’t mean to be snarky. Maybe if I was speaking, my tone would have made that more clear, or I could have worded it differently. “Why is this here? What am I trying to say?” are super important things in design and also so easy t

It might be that you’re not perfectly clear on what exactly you’re trying to convey with the image and why it’s there.

This is similar to game theory optimal poker. The optimal move is predicated on later making optimal moves. If you don’t have that ability (because you’re human) then the non-optimal move is actually better. Poker is funny because you have

That’s a caution to getting addicted to it, but not never doing it. I’ve had powerful experiences in lucid dreaming that I wouldn’t trade for a little more rest. I was already in a retreat where I was basically resting all the time.

It’s a good point. You can view the unprofitable leagues as having one main sponsor, and then it’s just a matter of accounting. Profitability may not be a good metric.

I don’t know about this case specifically, but airlines frequently have different labor laws. They’ll be the exception to all sorts of unqualified statements.

Just use Counter and if the objects aren’t hashable, use the count of IDs. Grab this before calling the function, in case the function is destructive. Check it against the output. Add in checking each item is less than or equal to its succe

Maybe if the mantra was “Cattle or pets?” that would help people. Neither is wrong, it’s just a mindset that a lot of decisions flow from. I think what happened was people working on lots of servers realized they were taking care of them in
