Better search? Authors of books don't call themselves Scifi P. BestAuthor, they market themselves and their books. First come first served for @music or @movies or @whatever shouldn't really matter if you want to find content you

Remote US only, or remote worldwide?

I couldn't see anything on your site. Does remote mean US only, or worldwide?

Did 12 year olds take the subway to school 20, 30 years ago? (Genuinely asking, never lived in a place with a subway, but took the bus all the time at that age.)

I whole heartedly disagree. Micrometers and millimetres are very, very different and that should be obvious to anyone that uses grams and kgs, or meters and km everyday. Microseconds and milliseconds are obviously different orders of magnit

I mean... no? There is nothing compelling these organisations to use that particular piece of software. When contacted the author could just shrug and say "not my problem" and the organisation would just have to find some other so

On sites with a long line length I will often pop open the dev tools so I can drag them across and squish the page without resizing the whole window. If long line length was common then browsers would have a similar feature built-in.

It doesn't have to be fantastically expensive to make a movie. The death of the mid budget feature is entirely of the studios' own making.

Garbage people. Aside: what is the gender neutral term for Garbage Man? Garbage people sounds like I'm disparaging them.

Minor correction: power tool woodworking is indeed scary as all shit, very much treat it with respect. But there is also hand tool woodworking as a hobby. Much less risk. I won't say none (a falling chisel has no handle), but you are m

So we went full circle back to a taxi company then? Turns out uber isn't magic and the market settled on taxi companies being a thing that exists for a reason.

Why shouldn't workers maximise their utility? If you want someone to work harder than they "should", you need to motivate them somehow.

I've always use the analogy of congestion collapse when you try to shove to much "stuff" (network packets, cars, work, whatever) through the pipeline.

It seems pretty easy to prove that, since they admitted it in public. Read the article. This isn't about the question of LLMs being copyright infringement, this is about Meta and OpenAI admitting that they had pirated copies of those b

But if those remote workers keep their jobs and continue to get paid, then it doesn't really matter how "effective" they are, does it? Their employer keeps paying them, so the amount of work they are doing is about right.

That interface isn't designed for them. Not everything has to be for everyone. The attitude that an interface has to work for novices as well as experts is one of the reasons that interfaces keep getting worse.

The point being, freak events are not nearly as freak as they are being made out to be. Edit: but I agree with the "wow". I can't even imagine what a wall of water that tall would look like. That is just so outside normal exp
