Sure, but if you’re trying to buy only goods that are produced in countries with good labor laws, you’ll starve.

Ah yeah, the classic “in order to criticize a thing, you must first criticize and root out every possible worse thing.” People have no way of knowing where the things they buy come from or how to source things ethically unless people write

Strangely it’s working for me today, but not yesterday when I was cooking and couldn’t touch my phone with wet hands. I wonder if background noise has something to do with it. The fact that Siri accurately displayed what I was trying to say

Unfortunately, Google’s tendency to randomly sunset products with no good replacement or migration strategy means I’ll never really incorporate it into my life in a big way, but yeah Google Assistant is pretty solid.

Do you have a link to the site? Being able give some examples and just state in plain English what you want the capture groups to be is pretty much my ideal regex experience (in other words, I don’t want to think about the semantics of rege

At this point, AI also solves this problem with pretty reasonable accuracy. You can feed gpt3.5 some html and ask it to write a python script to parse all of the button text.

The last HomePods sounded great, but it’s hard for me to imagine them taking off without fixing Siri. Siri is still remarkably dumb compared to Alexa and certainly when compared to GPT3.5 tools. If you ask Siri “What is 220°C in F” it will

I think building regexes is a good example of where chatgpt/copilot is useful. It’s not that it’s particularly difficult or requires much understanding, just very time consuming compared to writing an English language description and w

You're really agreeing with everyone here. The "monopoly on violence" we're discussing comes in the context of a theoretical social contract[1], discussed by various philosophers. The social contract is a philosophical f

Yeah I feel like the best reason for unit tests is to have a beginner run them with a debugger and take a tour through the code.

Wtf are you talking about my guy. Subs are larger and carry more meat, so the sandwiches cost more. There’s no quality judgement in that statement (also weird to think of a sub roll as like some kind of luxury). It’s like saying a small cof

Yeah an important clarification is New York is really only dominant in slice shops. Great restaurant pizza exists almost everywhere now. I’ll have to check out your Philly recs.

And yet, if I go and shoot someone I get arrested, but if an executioner does, they’re not. Weird, I wonder why that is. You’re absolutely avoiding the substance of the argument using the semantics of what the guy said, instead of addressin

Great but still not worth the hype

It’s pricy drunk and high food. I would never seek it out sober but they disperse oil throughout the slice in a way that’s really satisfying if you’re under the influence.

Artichoke pizza is serviceable drunk food, but really not very good outside of that context.

Philly and New Haven are basically the only 2 other cities that have solid “pizza cultures”. If you go to Baltimore, DC, or Boston you can’t get anything close to an NY slice without traveling significantly out of your way. Even then, the u

You’re dismissing a very legitimate quality difference in inner vs outer boroughs. There’s like 3 or 4 notable places in outer Brooklyn (s/o krispy pizza) that can compete with the dozens of incredible slices in inner Brooklyn. I’ve sp

Visit crown heights pizza. I’ve likely had a solid half of the pizza places in Brooklyn, and it’s among my favorites and seemingly never mentioned, I suppose because it’s relatively new and has a boring name.

Forcella Pizza. Solid place, unfortunate to hear they closed.

I’ve spent time in New Haven and NYC and… not even close. Sure there’s good slices in New Haven, but there are also pizza deserts, and a lot of them. New Haven does compete with NYC on restaurant-style pizza though.

I’d love to see which reviewer rates Ray’s pizza that high in recent years. I thought it was just famous for being on Saint Marks and appealing to drunks

This is how I feel about bagels in NYC, but with pizza, and particularly slice shops (as opposed to restaurant style pizza) I do think the best slices in NYC are in a different class from any other American city L’industrie really does live
