Japan has the opposite problem on restaurant review websites, where ~3.0 stars means OK and ~3.65 stars or above means absolutely bloody fantastic.

Do you really think it’s impossible for a manager to rate a commit or completed ticket (including taking into consideration how long it took vs how long they think it should have taken). I don’t think many software developers would want to

The thing I find offensive is expecting these people to be providing 4.9 level customer service when they’re getting nowhere near commensurate pay. Imagine if software devs got a star rating for every new commit, rated on how long it took c

Yes and it’s not at all obvious to me that being a jack-of-all-trades farmer (builder, mechanic, etc) requires less intelligence than learning Python.

Even if your argument were logical, “at some undetermined point in the future, this investment will underperform a different potential investment” is all you’d be proving.

You seem to be much more invested in an ideological battle than anyone else here. Where I’m from, the climate has changed. It is changing. You don’t need scientific instruments to notice it. As far as I can tell, the orthodox AGW theory fit

Thank you for this reminder to buy Digital Vegan. I’ve had an open tab on the checkout page for about a year now.

A Chinese company losing money on sales in China isn’t dumping and has nothing to do with the WTO.

I know this is wildly off topic, but can you please share any info about your stretching routine? I have persistent IT band issues from running…

I think it’s an interesting philosophical point to consider. In fact, I remember finding researching and writing a paper on this general question fascinating as a philosophy undergrad.

Yes, but Hobart is tiny so this rarely happens and relatively few people are impacted when it does.

You are mistaken. Probably more countries overall use a decimal comma, but the decimal point is used as convention in many countries, including China, India, Nigeria and the Philippines.

Yes. Also, one of the most popular alternative views (that a non-“mechanical” soul is the origin of higher-order experiences) is probably even more deeply engrained in many of our cultures and patterns of thought. And operates very similarl

It’s a bit off topic I’m not sure behaviour being “instinctive” means it’s thoughtless (whatever that means). For example, being uncomfortable might be an instinctive response to being cold, but it’s hardly thoughtless. Some people choose t

Is that relevant to the question they asked?

Probably reasonable people would differ on whether unfavourably viewed (by the West) countries, such as Iran, Cuba, Palestine, or Saudi Arabia are disliked for good reason or not. I agree with other comments that “China” in this context is

It sounds like they actually can’t ‘manage’ if nothing of depth ever comes out of their efforts.

The second option sounds way less discoverable, assuming you’re interested in learning Shen.

It’s not grammar and it’s not a correction. The phrase “I could care less” has only one meaning and that meaning is “I don’t care”. It is being used correctly.

The person you’re replying to probably assumed (as I did) that the article was about papaya, which is called pawpaw in some parts of the world. They will probably be relieved (as am I) to find out it’s about an unrelated fruit.

Here’s a new way of thinking about it. “Asian American films” are generic American films. Some generic American films are about Italian-American crime families in New York, some are about Indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma, some are about d

There’s a difference between bad startup ideas and bad startups. Execution is critical; a 90% failure rate doesn’t tell you anything about the quality of ideas. Internal tools sound like they should be good startup ideas (see the YC call fo

On the flip side if I navigate to a page I may not be able to read (due to the language being different to my browser settings), offering to translate it seems like a good and helpful thing. Certainly better than a button I don’t know about

Yeah I mean it makes sense as a story. But it also makes sense not to have a kid if you think you’re going to die at war. Both stories are perfectly believable, I’d say. And likewise it also makes sense not to bring a child into a bombed ou

> It's a lot easier to have kids when you have nothing left to lose. What does that even mean? I also don’t think “nothing left to lose” was really the attitude of the post-War world and (especially) the US.

Is it really way more lightweight than Svelte? Svelte has more tooling (of course) but it ships no runtime and only sends the user the JS they actually need to interact with your page.

Isn’t that effectively almost exactly what Kickstarter does?

I love that regulations kill people through both excessive mental distress and false peace of mind. That’s wonderful.

“All this stuff” correlates with a lot of other things too. And is happening all over the world, including places where religion is in rude health indeed.
