Is it the addictive substance or the ritual I created around it? I used to think this same thing, that my enjoyment of coffee was largely the ritual. But then I switched to decaf for quite a long time and all my little rituals fell away qui

Have you read John Cheever’s diaries? It’s the same story. I can’t really get into his fiction, but the diaries are astounding. He gave them to his son to read and publish posthumously.

My only guess is that, if they are making more money from services, they need to sell less phones. Therefore hardware obsolescence becomes less important as a means of getting revenue.

Yes, but QLC has much higher density. I think it's the higher density that makes it better for cold storage, which generally has infrequent access, and more reads than writes. Hence the QLC's endurance being " sufficient for

You could probably circumvent this by putting the display into Gaming Mode, which most TVs have. It removes all the extra processing that TVs add to make the image "nicer". These processes add a hell of a lot of latency, which is

Similarly, my own position is that the person suggesting I ignore my baby's crying is the one who needs to do the explaining.

Bad advice that has a very long return on investment is quite sticky. For instance the "cry it out method" did massive amounts of psychological damage to more than one generation, but it seemed to work in the short term as the bab

Yes, a fallacy is a reason to dismiss an argument , not necessarily the conclusion ; it is a very good reason to doubt a conclusion though. My parent's formulation can be used with other drugs in cases that are still reasonable. For

This type of semi-whataboutist comment appears at the top of most open source project announcements. Once we live in a centrally planned utopia these projects will all be merged with each other and produce the perfect phone/operating s

The MTG Top 8 interface for comparing decks has always impressed me: https://mtgtop8.com/ Like Disk Prices at first glance it's a bit overwhelming but after a while it becomes super crisp to deal with.

Yes. There’s something cruel there, or perhaps simply resigned, to reflecting the most brutal aspects of humanity in their most casual, logical, and inherent expression ([0] spoiler). You certainly never shake the feeling that something ter
