I feel like we need better solutions for poor people than resisting congestion pricing. The problem with congestion is that zero people get to use congestion-free roads (including all the poor people who have little choice but to use the

I don't think it's weird to like a piece of software and have that lead you to work at the company that builds the software and also to develop an educational course about that software.

I think you're mistaken. I can't comment on the quality of Kent C. Dodds' educational content, but his formal affiliation with Remix was short-lived. The courses that he sells have no apparent affiliation with Remix (the open

With respect, you almost certainly stopped paying attention for much longer than six months. yarn v2 was a significant rewrite that was released five years ago and a lot of Yarn projects either never upgraded or just switched back to npm

The ending reveal doesn't even fit neatly into the hot-button American political issue you're associating it with. The film is clearly trying to make the viewer work out their view on the issue, and I think the film takes essentia

Except that with what I described, there is no paradox. If I report experiencing flights that were all full, and someone says “but 99% of flights were empty,” there is nothing surprising or counterintuitive about that (other than that I wou

Didn't Microsoft Teams soundly defeat Zoom, Slack, and all the others? I was under the impression that Teams has at least an order of magnitude more active users than any competitor.

This is good news, although the only "news" here seems to be the removal from the New Jersey endangered species list. The success of conservation efforts were already being widely lauded in the mid-1990s in Missouri (and deliberat

The point is that you never get past what you believe to be true . If you discover that what you believe to be true is false, the only thing you can do is start believing something else to be true. It's silly to say that you want to
