Children just aren’t that expensive. Most of the significant expenses people describe are optional. It is more rational to match your spending to what you can afford with howevermany kids than it is to match the number of kids you have to a

Despite what common belief might indicate, coffee-soda-beer etc all count. But yes, if you are self supporting you would need water to make those things at home so the problem doesn’t change much.

I wish it could preview svelte builds. I wish it would let me include svelte files in “projects.”

This sounds like a clear criminal conspiracy, but nothing in this is directly about homelessness. This notion that homelessness is primarily driven by high rents stands up to zero scrutiny. Especially visible homelessness as in, the peopl

The problem with the landlord tenant power dynamic is that an unscrupulous party on either side can easily do great damage to the other. Look at eviction laws in New York and California. Look at the recent headlines about squatting. The lan

Edit: I changed a few words to try to make this comment less harsh. I know how much work it is to release a product and it’s hard to hear negative feedback. All I am really saying is: consider why you are adding the complexity inherent in f

I’ve lived in NYC much longer than that and the NYPD during the past 15 years has, whenever I’ve observed them, which is many times, been very professional.

LLMs don't listen. LLMs don't do anything. People do things with LLMs. People write and run code that creates LLMs. These words "train", "learn" are ML terms that attempt to explain a concept using an analogy.

Random aside, I haven’t seen NY enforce the anti mask legislation during the Halloween parade, various protests, or Covid. So I bet a new constitutional challenge could be erected.

True, and that 500 number is way too low because that calculation imagines there is zero overlap/duplication.

I would suggest reading "So Good They Can't Ignore You" and specifically the part about making diagonal career changes instead of restarting from scratch. https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/

The overwhelming majority of people who are dubious about copyright produce work that is protected in some other way. The rise of web apps was hugely driven, perhaps primarily driven, by the fact you can’t just copy them. iPhone apps? Same

For example, many people today believe that we only use 10% of our brain. But it wouldn’t be fair to say that’s what our “culture” believes to be true.

Locking people up for being addicts is not the same as locking people up for using in the street. What is wrong with this approach: Doing drugs isn’t a crime, but all bad behavior associated with it is. If someone’s addiction has become unm

Deeper than this, when I was a teen, guys tried to convince me to take the sanitation department test. Because it was such an awesome job (in their estimation) and so easy to get!

What’s sad is that the relatively expensive and high end apple Bluetooth headsets also sound awful. Blame Bluetooth blame whatever, but AirPods Pro and AirPods Max should sound incredible at their price point. And they just don’t. They soun

My first impression is the kerning/letter spacing feels off. Am I the only one? Edit: for example the space between the ‘m’ and the ‘a’ in ‘machine’ seems very big.
