On streams with high view counts I firmly believe they've never been majority human. They're not even AI, just dumb bots that spam whatever the other bots are spamming

I see what you're saying, but I remember reading on here months ago that Coinbase's debt was unimaginably huge. Doesn't matter if they have a good business selling shovels if they can't dig themselves out of the impossib

I got a bulletin from our security team saying Postman stores it all in plain text on their servers. Unbelievable if true. Haven't used it since. They have all your passwords.

To be fair, what you're championing for PAGNI is the poster child for YAGNI, so you're basically against YAGNI.

City planning hipster-ism is great clickbait on the internet. Younger people without much experience or brains click on it and get all enthusiastic about the idea of some mythical perfect city. In this case, the "missing middle" i

Interesting that in point #2 you think the market helps lower prices, when in point #1 you establish that Apple doesn't lower the price of what they're selling regardless of how much they lower their own prices.

There's a difference if someone is trained in real difficult skills over a long period of time, vs. given standard training to do a minimum wage-tier job for 10 hours by their minimum wage co-workers, and then told it's worth $7,5

What amazes me is we've had hot air balloons for 250 years and still haven't scaled them into partial vacuum space zeppelins, we're still burning rocket fuel like it's the dark ages

Anybody tasted it? Sichuan pepper doesn't just give a tingling feeling, it also tastes really good. Curious if this does, too.

I agree with this, and in a way where I don't really see anyone who disagrees as a peer. We can agree to disagree, but it's condescending on my part. On one team we once also came up with a compromise where we would use 2 status c

Those are both the cases where there is a public demand for nepotism, though. People want to see the next generation of the royalty, perhaps more than the kingmakers want to supply it. For that matter, sports is similar but slightly more me

Obsessing over having 4 seasons is a theme that comes up in several cultures and I believe it is probably an ancient relic from when agrarianism was a nascent lifestyle upon which to base a civilization. Some nomadic cultures are similarly

JSON Patch is a bizarre Frankenstein's monster made of the cognitive dissonance of REST aficionados. JSON Patch is not REST. It is not representational state. But it's also not the way any sane person has ever done RPC over HTTP.

Web MVC and mobile MVC are completely different IMO. I've done both, it's incomprehensible industry lingo for them to wind up the same name.

Unfortunately The time limit seems the only way to limit this type of test. There's only a certain number of types of problems they have. If you can solve one in a class, you can solve any in that class. There wouldn't be enough w

The justification in the literature is that since all types of intelligence are correlated, just testing a relatively neutral one like progressive matrices is a good choice, since it would generalize out to other types of intelligence. The

The SEC stated a few years ago it doesn't regard cryptocurrencies as securities, so that's why they don't police it. (IMO they are clearly securities, but the SEC may not want to allocate resources to policing it.) What many

The Duration.ofMinutes thing doesn't address the exact same problem. Anyone can put the units on the "right side". You don't even need a fancy "Duration.ofMinutes" helper function. Clarity-wise that's not

There's always been paranoia around what you say, but now I believe it's probably propaganda by the pension fund industry. With pensions it was still tied to the stock market (but sometimes including non-public investments) but wa

I would turn your first sentence around on you. I can't understand how anyone who sees the garbage we're inundated with in all forms of media could be a proponent of an unfettered free market economy. We used to have laws to help

From the Stackoverflow survey, it would be below the national average (the mean), but I don't think there's actually many regions that pay the national average. SV pays more and most of the rest pays less.

But the whole problem is frameworks always decide against code colocation, and also they don't tell you what to do with all the functions that don't fit their directory scheme. People who don't use a framework will naturally

In an abstract way it's not really different. Next you'll want namespaces and sub-namespaces, and we're back to files and directories, just built again on top of something that's not a file system.

There's a lot of misleading information out there. On this site I once saw a carpenter say he was making more than he used to make as a $300k software developer. But I had some carpenters working for me and somehow I figured out they m

But scores that correlate well are still just averages, and are not wise to apply to individuals as you do in your closing statement. IQ tests like progressive matrices are still very particular, specialized mental activities. Over a popul
