Threads are their own steep learning curve, I think it's just hard to do two things at once.

It's frustrating when anti-lockdown folks don't differentiate between lockdown now , when the disease is basically endemic and vaccines make COVID a non-issue for healthy/abled individuals, vs. in March 2020 when there was n

The problem is that the reasoning at the top isn't anything near what the drones implementing said policy at the bottom are doing. There's like a hundred layers of people between Xi and the dudes beating dogs. It's like a gam

Any time we humans have tried decentralized control, we've found a way to turn it back into centralized control. Hell, just look at the universe. What started as a random distribution of gas still found ways to condense into literally

This isn't an RCE, you need to have control over the parent directory first which usually implies some sort of admin privileges already

I remember reading something similar with China’s dominance of rare earth elements - the US has plenty of mines but it costs too much to mine them and the entire rest of the supply chain is in China, so there’s not much domestic demand

These are great if you just have a laptop. I use the Dell S2719DC and I love being able to just get everything by plugging in one cable. However, I switch between a laptop and desktop, so I wound up buying a separate USB switch for peripher

Flipping implies selling the homes at a profit, which is unlikely in a rising interest rate environment.

Locking in a great rate seems misguided if the low rates were inflating prices. You can always refinance a high rate but you can’t renegotiate what you paid 5 years ago. It’s even worse for the all-cash buyers since they’re not sensitive to

If you live in California, property tax is assessed at purchase price + inflation rather than at current market price. Rent control basically extends this same (enormous) benefit to renters. You still miss out on goodies such as being able

gamma correction is compression, sacrificing data in regions where the eye is less sensitive for more precision in the sensitive ranges. images would look the same without it, you'd just be wasting bits encoding differences that the ey

The purpose is well-documented here: https://reactjs.org/docs/reconciliation.html#recursing-on-ch... And it also goes into why index is a poor key (it's basically the same behavior as with no key). Using object id

If it’s the one I’m thinking of then the first line of the recipe is “Place the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves in a large, nonreactive sauté pan”, i.e not something that requires seasoning

People are very much missing this point; there is no value judgement here over what "should" be happening. There has always been clear red line; if NATO is attacked, we're starting WWIII. If a non-NATO friendly country is att

The 20th century’s history is filled with unintended consequences. DDT spraying caused a mass extinction event. CFCs destroyed the ozone layer. Outsourcing cheap labor led to human rights abuses and destroying the middle class. Etc.

Weird how China gets dragged into everything. The Chinese educational system is similar to all East Asian systems. SK famously stops flights to avoid disturbing test takers. Find another scapegoat

I have to admit I'm not a fan of "discovery fiction" as presented in this post, but reading Michael Nielson's linked post and some of his examples (e.g https://michaelnielsen.org/ddi/why-bloom-filter

The standards for automated driving have to be way higher than they are for human drivers. What's the point otherwise? "it's ok if our buggy AI car crashes into things because humans do too" is not a great pitch

Beta self-driving software shouldn't be on the road in the hands of random drivers. It's crazy to me that people think this is ok because "it's just a beta!" The stakes are vastly different between a bug in a photo

Moderation/censorship/whatever you want to call it is a heavy-handed solution to a societal problem. The fact is that science isn't a linear process and the general consensus will flip all the time and this is normal. Coordin

People are still free to have opinions on the case. The purpose of this legal principle is to put the burden of proof on the prosecution, i.e the government can't simply blame you for a crime and force you to dig up evidence of innocen

It’s super painful to figure out where this magically injected dependency came from. Now you have to look at every place that the object was constructed. And god forbid those constructors also use injected dependencies. I hate Guice.

If "you're practical" then the battle is already won. We wouldn't have a cultural health issue if everyone involved was practical. The people yelling on either side are not practical and such compromises will not fix the

Look at where we’re at today. We’ve “compromised” on every issue you listed; abortion is illegal in several states, the coal industry is slowly declining, vaccinations are encouraged but not required. Theoretically this is state #2 and ever

The article never once tries to define what it thinks would be good "cultural health". You can kinda infer that the current level of vitriol and animosity is bad, but what kind of society would that look like and how would we get

The alternative is minding your own goddamn business if you’re not willing to commit to the necessary coercive steps. Sanctions targeted at an individual are useless when they live in an unfriendly country. And sanctioning the whole country

There’s nothing more frustrating than debugging some ruby module with 10 different mixins defining functions with generic ungreppable names like “user”. Then it turns out the mixins have mixins. The common refrain is well, don’t write shitt

I’m not sure if this is still a thing but I remember the Rails community being obsessed with aliasing methods and other ways of dynamically defining code at runtime. Coupled with the fact that Ruby is already hard to statically analyze and
