I'm not sure which you're thinking of as the streetlight, the diagnosis or normality? Both are saying, "What you're after is here." It's up to oneself to follow the lead that resonates the most.

In my experience, anything that allows one to better model their feelings can have significant impact on life. That might come from a diagnosis, though I haven't experienced that myself. When someone says, "Nothing is wrong with m

One doesn't just coast after entering that phase of growth, there is a completely new and very real set of problems and challenges to face. If I were running a company with 100 employees and I expected that to double in the next year,

That's a fair point, but somehow the nervous feeling isn't limited to sharing CPU time with strangers! The amount of platform complexity abstracted by the GCP services is staggering. This is the job of taking a (hopefully) underst

Imagine advertising FORTRAN as a developer-friendly language with fast compilation times! I'm sure the Go folks are using this metric because it's compatible with their goals, which aren't everyone's.

If it were merely used as a representative workload, one would apply a discount to the complexity and size of the compiler since it can be assumed that compiling a larger and more complicated program should take longer (i.e. the measurement

Having read only the first paragraph of the paper, I feel I already disagree: > Trying to make an optimizing compiler as simple as possible and yet as powerful as necessary requires, before all else, a measurement standard, by which bot

This study is asking a question, and that question is not which sex engages in bad behavior! That's an oddly antagonistic approach to the subject. Are there other interesting questions out there? You bet. But studies are performed one

It think the article plays fair. The inclusion of some of Shimomura's early work on bioluminescence provides ample insight to be considered an answer to the question. But this article seems to me to be about the long-term value of aski

That may be true, but I don't think it's accurate to say that this particular article was about Burning Man.

I don't think that's the thrust of the article. The perspective here seems to be a Marxian interpretation of attractiveness as the “socially necessary labor” that confers its value in the relationship economy, rather than somethin

I believe you're suggesting a contradiction here, but I think the juxtaposition is actually quite insightful if we consider the differences between these two things! What the world values ought to be a mostly objective question, though
