If the median is higher than the mean that probably means the distribution is heavier on the positive side. Cheap apartments are illegal and the legal ones don't get financed/constructed. There's a cutoff much higher than zer

The metro in DC is pretty underrated and you can live car free pretty far out into its suburbs even.

It's all debt which inflation will wash away and the landlords will come out on top.

They find divisions between us that won't be reconciled, then tell us they'll deal with the people we don't like. Democracy has pathologies that people don't appreciate, especially at a national level.

They're a pretty terrible registrar/host but their marketing is fantastically good. Every non-tech business owner I've met uses them. It makes me kind of sad.

I don't think enlightenment should be in quotes here. I'm pretty sure this really is the logical conclusion of the ideas in the enlightenment and if we want to move beyond the trouble we have we're going to have to question t

As someone who used to be a lot more promiscuous: I'm pretty sure hooking up is the opposite of emotional maturity. I love Seinfeld (the old TV show) because it actually does show this. The main characters (at least Seinfeld and Elaine

The older I get the more superstition makes sense. I used to think older people were superstitious because they were more likely to have existential crises (since they were closer to death) but now that I'm middle aged I've realiz

>Modern desktops are still better than either option If I hadn't found CWM I'd probably still be on FVWM2 (with the mwm theme.) IDK if that counts as a "modern desktop" but I'm certainly a fan.

I've seen some re-interpretations of phaux-3d rectilinear skeuomorphism that used a lot of light scattering effects and looked extremely modern. I thought around this year those would be common but everyone seems to be still hung up on

Password plus email is one factor. So that would be 3/2 factor auth.

Countries that can't feed their people probably shouldn't be taking in massive numbers of immigrants.

Alex Jones isn't real and the man who plays him is part of a massive conspiracy inside the deep state.

Magic links are half factor auth. They're probably good enough for apps that no one actually cares about though.

WebAssembly is actually very high level. You need tail call support if you want to preserve the original structure of the program (which seems to be the intention.) I think you can get around it with eg CPS but then you'd get something

I haven't thought about it but most of the movies I've really enjoyed were recommended to me by my dad, girlfriend, or my brother in law. I can't think of anything I really enjoyed from a recommendation algorithm. The last mo

I'm not convinced having both parents in most families working is actually a good thing. It seems to depress birth rates in most countries to the degree that you eventually get a pretty serious crisis.

Vicious cycle is just dynamic systems jargon. It means something is going to naturally shrink if it gets small.

I own voting shares in a company and it's hard enough just getting information out of them that they should want to share. The idea that the average investor has any idea what's going on in the companies they invest in is absurd.

I agree it isn't a substitute but for software dev you really don't need it. Plenty of stuff gets built with just email and IRC. My team never turns on their camera because it's just an extra hassle and we get plenty done.

If A/Cs draw the same amount electric cars do then everyone switching to electric cars could double or triple (most households have two working parents) the power draw during parts of the day (around 5 when it's the hottest and ev

Did scons change between python2 and python3? That looks like it might be part of the issue people are running into.

I think I'd be more willing to go to the office if I got a large pay raise to but only because there's cheap housing within walking distance of mine. If I had to commute every day again I'd be pretty upset. Maybe if I could c

It's all distorted by credit which heavily discourages building new housing. If I don't get a house this year I'm giving up on using real estate and moving onto my boat. I wish more people would do things like this.

The security model on Linux is "don't fling binaries from strangers around." That's why you can get away with the lazes fair security model X uses and still have less malware than Windows. Heck half the garbage Microsoft
