Crypto handouts have been called "tips" for several years, long before Twitter was involved. There's of course even a crypto called TIPS[1] dating back to 2014. During that time Bitcoin and Dogecoin tips were common on Reddit

I'll chime in as well from my 2020 XPS 17. This issue is incredibly frustrating. It's worth switching over, however I don't really know where to go for a premium laptop. I'm not very interested in a Mac. HP and Lenovo ha

Nature is brutal. For animals in the wild, survival is a struggle on a whole different level. The predators hunt the young of other species, or their own children starve. The prey are in constant danger, and may be suffering their own short

It's a common term in modern RTS, and it's got more meaning attached to it than simply "a large group". For example, in StarCraft 2, a full army of zerglings wouldn't be considered a "death ball" because i

I disagree with this comment quite strongly. Go has a lot of high level theory and pattern recognition that is very different from just reading ahead, and AlphaGo has opened up a lot of new theory that we didn't have before, not unlike

This is an easy and naive view of Einstein. Would you argue the same for Newton? The truth is special relativity was going to be discovered soon regardless, general relativity was a leap that required a leader as unique as Einstein, Newton,

He didn't think we had those truths yet but I do think it's clear he thought it was the job of scientists (not only philosophers) to discover them. That's his major motivation behind the EPR paradox, general relativity, and t

I'd argue that Einstein in particular cared a lot about "fundamental truths". Not everyone can be Einstein, but I'm glad some people care about asking deeper questions.

Is this the best case that can be made for using a monospace font for coding? I can do without lining up the equal signs. I may look into switching to a proportional font.
