Except in certain states, where "tough on crime" has been replaced with "tough on some crimes, and everything else small-ish gets a free pass, because hey, too many black people in jail or something." Low effort response

His long-form podcasts and interviews get hijacked into little snippets and "motivational" youtube videos. There is a huge industry of "recycling" channels that only do that, even more so now with shorts. So his 2h+ talk

Maybe it should be too-expensive to achieve. I'm sitting her absolutely baffled at the scale of these numbers I'm seeing on this thread. I'd rather tell the other side of the world (both really) to just suck it up and pay for

Not if you put it on some sort of rail system, and make sure each unit that's on the system has the capability to push/stop itself on this rail system.

So what does that leave us with to filter water absolutely safely? Distillation? Are there any commercial or consumer systems that can do that in an easy and convenient package?

Sorry, I have to call BS on this. I'm hugely familiar with Python and used it for over 10 years, pretty much always on "latest version" instead of pinning. And had issues with incompatible versions less than 5 times. JS? Pret

No, this is highly unique to JS/TS. I've worked in plenty other languages and it's bo where near as bad. Yes they all have some form of this, but it's an order of magnitude smaller. One big contributor is JS's procl

It's just a misdirection that hides details with extra steps so we can all just argue with zero concrete steps. But either way, I've lately become convinced to ignore inflation. The real thing we should be reducing is printing of

It's the endless chase of "GDP" points: Somehow, through various constraints and processes it's "better" overall for me and 500 other people to buy a hand tool (drill, angle-grinder, saw, etc), than it is for a

Here's my low-effort snarky response to your question: Pesky Laws, ordinances, labor rules, and MBAs with fancy graphs that say something is "unprofitable".

I honestly think that subtle and accepted incompetence is becoming pervasive all around, and airplane manufacturers aren't excluded from that. We need to strongly move back to a meritocracy otherwise our civilization will fall, one air

This is because the humanities got taken over in some sense and filled with mumbo jumbo. Technical people don't want to touch that with a ten foot pole. Besides, science used to be very much a "thinkers" only thing, because o

A lot of mortgages here in South Africa do this every three months. We have ce tral bank interest rates which are relatively stable (except recently), and mortgages are given out as a function of that rate (e.g. rate + 2.4%). After the cent

We all "know" deep down why they removed it. Deep down all these apps and websites are glorified databases of "something", and giving the users more options means: 1. Users find exactly what they want, more quickly. 2. T

Very curious about this as well, or anything python-specific if anyone has any suggestions.

This makes no sense to me and is probably why we're so far away from a good solution - I pay my ISP for bandwidth to "the network", which includes other devices on "the network". This is the problem, not everything

You're thinking of the "mean" or average. What OP mentioned is the median which doesn't get affected as much by large outliers.

Currently it means treat people as special because of their skin color and to me is pretty much actual racism. In an ideal world it would mean what you say it does (everyone is valued equally irrespective of melanin or other immutable chara

OP's use of "99%" makes it very hard. But if you turn it around to mean "99%" of all publicized and acceptable discussion then you could easily include all sorts of stuff. E.g.: "(Skin Color) Diversity is good&

It would be more like "at night (or when there is little solar), you pay progressively more for your electricity." A lot of places do that already, you just do it to a slightly-palatable level instead of to the true cost. Partly b

What percentage of the world's population lives at a place that goes to -40C ever in the year? That's like 0.000001% of the world's population (didn't confirm, thumb sucking). I think you need to admit, "bro",

As an example, it may start becoming more economical to include heat-batteries (I forget the name) in house construction such that they retain heat and radiate it to maintain a not freezing ambient temperature inside a house. That, along wi

> "Telling people to stop bathing in electricity at night when that what keeps them alive is bullshit." I never said anything of the sort. You're taking a really bad-faith and extreme straw-man of what I said, and I refuse

The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to get of the opinion that this entire call or worry about "storage" when it comes to solar is a giant distraction. This first thing we need to do is align the costs and incent

Honestly I'm not sure how we can start a peace process after the terrorist atrocities that were committed? At this point I think the best is to just evacuate all Palestinians to the rest of the Arab countries as refugees and then just

Honestly Dang, just from casual browsing and happening across your "dont do this" responses, it does seem like you chaotically jump in. I can't discern a specific pattern, other than it being a bit too quick on the draw. But

Gosh this story makes me lament the state of our field. If the current gen of devs were to build this, it would all be done "on the cloud" where they can just throw compute at the problem, and as long as the cost was less than 5$

FAAs 3B shortfall in funding is not appearing in the extra cost of running a government. They're "shrinking" or rather "shittifying" the service that the government provides by not hiring enough personnel required.

This is just another instance of the long set of Shittification and Shrinkflation happening everywhere, brought about by us holding our collective heads in the sand over the real rate of inflation. I'd bet it's a lot more than t
