Why is it not the default? Compatibility issues with Windows games somehow?

The vast majority of users don't feel nauseous unless they overeat.

I have seen people gain weight just to push themselves over the edge to get the drug. Once they are on it, they more a quickly reach their goal weight than they would have otherwise. Others will simply lie about their weight to their primar

It is the literal feeling of incredible hunger. That is not a normal thing to expect people to live with. The average person does not feel constantly hungry and thus not the urge to overeat. Most obese people became obese in childhood. In o

As someone that came away confused after reading the article, this was hugely helpful - thanks.

Yeah, in my experience the drug can curb appetites to somewhat dangerously low levels. I get pretty full on 650-800 cals/day and eat one meal a day. My TDEE is around 2100 cals/day. Frankly speaking, while I enjoy the weight loss,

I've lost 25lbs in the past two months without exercise, workouts, etc. Just Mounjaro. Sedentary lifestyle.

A couple years ago I lost 80lbs in one year without any drugs. It was the hardest thing I had ever done. It required frankly extreme amounts of willpower. More recently, I've lost about 25lbs on Mounjaro in two months. Zero effort. I w

When I was eating my most on the drug, I maintained my weight but it never went up. I'm sure it's possible with an extremely calorie-dense diet, though. Regarding social reasons for overconsumption - this drug makes you totally fu

This is just a manpower thing. At large tech companies like Google, Meta, etc the dev environment is entirely in the cloud for the vast majority of SWEs. This is a much nicer dev experience than anything local.

I've always wondered what the security posture is of UTM, QEMU, etc. Is an escape trivial or is there thought put into security?

Firefox has shipped Quantum in mainline for years. It may be on Chrome's level (I never tested), but regardless, it's nowhere near as performant as Safari. Try running a very compute intensive script (that chokes your CPU/GPU

Safari is much smoother on my Mac. I was recently running a very compute intensive script. Firefox was dropping frames so badly that the UI became nearly unusable. In contrast, Safari was still a buttery smooth 120fps. Combine this with t

Poor hygiene in the community about breaking changes, and a very clunky and frustrating mechanism to vendor dependencies.

you can't use this with MDM unfortunately, so useless for govts, corporations, etc.

I always get weird consultants reaching out to me on LinkedIn asking for deets on my org's layout and - curiously - our tech stack. They offer something like $500+ an hour but I don't want to be complicit in some compromise. Priva

If China invades Taiwan they won't destroy TSMC. They'll probably just put backdoors in the silicon. Everyone will continue to use TSMC until the backdoors have been found, there will be some controversy, but life will go on just

Their business model wouldn't work if they did a double random. It's not an honor code but a common sense code.

Not necessarily - you can increase rents further on the people that remain because perhaps you suspect that they are less likely or unable to move.

The fundamental mistake at the root of your argument is the assumption that the demographics of a job should represent the demographics of the total population, as opposed to the demographics of the qualified applicant pool.

I don't think it would make a difference if he published it on a private blog, and people at work saw it. Cancel culture doesn't differentiate between your work and personal life.

Coworkers can get alienated by anything. If someone that looks disfigured makes their colleagues uncomfortable, should they be fired? What about someone that holds a religion that makes their colleagues uncomfortable? Should they be fired?

It means you prioritize hiring diverse candidates over regular candidates, but without lowering your hiring bar.

It's ridiculous to fire someone because they make other people "uncomfortable."
