Eh, this feels like a bad-faith argument. I think most of us on this site first-hand feel that obsession to update a feed that seems to control us more than we control it. I don't need the DSM's permission to notice that. Whether

To second this theory with some real-world data. A few startups I worked at a NY scala shop that used tons of Akka (event-driven queuing scala thing). Why? Because a manager at his prior job "saved the company" when "everythi

Yeah, there will be some incorrect papers. But there are errors in the other direction too. How many deleterious effects will never be proven scientifically because it's incredibly exhausting to get thousands of participants and quanti

Wouldn't that be ironic, if after years of doubting and mocking the proliferation of food sensitivities it turned out it was because there was literal plastic in us.

Hot take - all these articles (telling employees how to be) are crap for one simple reason: If the management chain wants X, they need to incentivize X. In my experience 9/10 times, then management chain claims they value some set of v

Slightly off-topic, but slightly not. I feel like customer support is one of the worst experiences in all of tech or maybe just modern capitalism. Obviously slashing budgets is a huge part of it, but I think the problem is exacerbated by ly

Oh, thanks. There was an arcade game called Lunar Lander and I thought that this was the exact same thing, and I guess I didn't pay much attention to the pictures.

So by that reasoning, if I'm frustrated about global warming and I share an article without reading it I'm spreading propaganda? And committing violence? I don't think so.

It's interesting. The naive way to write this would be not use any special formulas, and just recalculate mass and acceleration each frame (based on the new mass). And to calculate intersection with the ground at each frame boundary. I

One thing this article does that I don't agree with is presume that there are binary safe/unsafe limits that are objectively correct. I don't know the exact numbers, but when I looked into once, I realized a huge number of ch

What's the word for something that people reshare a bunch without reading it because they are frustrated at the world and want to put it into other people's faces? Not a left-right thing, I think we all have our poison. But also s

I don't know what you're talking about, and that makes two of us. Writing the Nth-permutation is something I've done before as a leetcode challenge, here's example code [1] Maybe python implements it poorly, but it can d

This sounds like exactly what I wanted. There have been a number of times I've been in the car and wanting to ask Siri something it couldn't handle has been a lot e.g. "What state am I in, and how far am I to the border to th

Well I initially thought the same thing (as some rando who put negligible thought or research into it). Then it was pointed out by a science youtuber that mass migration of people is a problem, which I promptly ignored. However upon reflect

by zug_zug 2y ago
Yeah. So something like a 50-digit number. I guess your point is this would require a BigInt? From a performance perspective it's negligible. Like when doing RSA for example the primes are usually 2^512 in length.

Kinda interesting. There are N! permutations in a shuffle (no duplicates) and there's an algorithm where you pick one random number between 1->N! and then bring up that permutation (though I don't know how to do it better than

It'd be nice if it was that easy. One thing to think about is that I think the scientific understanding is that unhealthy sperm = unhealthy babies. That's the reason sperm have to undergo such a long and grueling race, as a select

I appreciate the anecdote. The distinction I’d draw is that email was a push model, but today it’s platforms that decide what we see. If platforms wanted, I think it’d be trivial for them to make a setting for their users to filter out poli

Eh, seems kinda linkbaity. I'm not convinced there's a crisis, perhaps lowered college enrollment is a good thing for everyone. If a student doesn't enjoy it they don't have to go, and if students don't feel welcome

Looks like google says prius gets anywhere from 45 to 78 MPG, which feels like too wide a window. Sounds promising but would love to see an exact apples-to-apples comparison before I get too excited.

I've seen this shared a few times... and I'm not sure I get why. I think driving range is an important metric for fully-electric vehicles since recharging isn't easy everywhere in the country. Otherwise I think MPG is the rig

I'm not sure how they jump from correlation to causation. Like maybe having classmates who have a disorder means, just for a wild example, there's some contaminant in your local water (several have been linked to mental disorders)
