I haven't, actually, practically my entire family smokes. But it's very different these days. The amount of second hand smoke I'm exposed to is still, realistically, thousands of not millions of times less than that that the

It makes sense when you consider those millions of other voters are apathetic by definition. They can be implicitly flipped like that because they, supposedly, don't care at all. If they did care then they would vote and then wouldn&#x

Didn't that actually happen with railroads? Like, there was a railroad bubble and lots of people lost a lot of money? It happened with the Internet, too, and the Internet is pretty useful I think.

I'm sure leadership in Ukraine was aware of an impeding war, but naturally that's not the type of thing you're gonna tell your citizens. It doesn't help anything; it would only cause panic, migration, and resource hoardi

Most companies are showing high revenue and profit and still laying off huge segments of their workforce. Largely due to the stock market - a lot of non-AI players are facing lowering stock price.

People have been getting flu shots yearly for decades at this point. There's this weird delusion or socially-induced amnesia that comes with COVID. I got COVID maybe a year ago, and I stayed home from work for a week. One of my friends

Of course second hand smoke causes disease - we know that. But you have to consider the context in which we attacked that. The second hand smoke they're referring to is nearly constant smoking indoors, which was standard in the past. S

I think if you want to modify your car that's great, you should be able to do literally whatever you want... so long as it's still safe to the people around you. Rolling coal is not. I think thats very reasonable.

Cops are worthless but, more importantly, they have huge leverage. They can just stop policing at any time as a form of protest, and departments regularly do that. The system needs fundamental reform.

I have had people tell me to my face that they try to run cyclists off the road. You know, just casual attempted murder. That's what people have told me. You are seriously underestimating how much some people hate cyclists.

Blowing smoke in someone's face is very little smoke in practice, because air is a thing. Also, realistically, you're not getting cancer from someone blowing smoke in your face. Smokers get cancer because they smoke tens of thousa

I don't understand how desiring less air pollution and safer vehicles is draconian. Driving is a big responsibility; it's one of the primary causes of death for Americans and it's one of the primary causes of poor air quality

It's highly team dependent. Shortly, the more "coding monkey" the work is, the more velocity you can get with AI. As soon as you need to interface with customers and extract requirements, that becomes the bottleneck.

The reason these tools feel so powerful for hobbiests and individuals is the same reason that "two dudes in a garage" regularly overthrew huge software companies in the past: you set the requirements, and you have the autonomy

Those 10,000 names are already written, though. Tailwind doesn't solve technical problems really, it solves social ones. In a perfect world we all write vanilla CSS. But, in my experience, it becomes extremely messy and hard to reason

by array_key_first 4mo ago
There are legitimate problems with using CSS, especially in a large team setting. I think we all have experience with append-only stylesheets. That's what tailwind addresses.

Tailwind violates DRY but DRY is also not a hard and fast rule. The danger with DRY is that it can force you to build abstraction towers that are difficult to reason about, especially in a static context. And that's where we see the po

Cameras and technology don't put people in prison at all, law enforcement and prosecutors do. And, well, do they? Do we know if these cameras actually help? I don't think we do. I don't think anyone is studying this.

They did win for a while because they stamped out 99% of piracy. In the early days of streaming it was legitimately difficult to argue for piracy. Streaming was just too convenient and too cheap. But, they are greedy above all else. And so,

The decision was undisputably made with racist intentions, and anybody not willing to acknowledge that is not a reliable narrator and isn't worth arguing with. It would be like me trying to argue with someone in a mental institution -

We live in a civilized society, the default is not hitting people and you won't convince me otherwise. Again, I don't want to hear some pussy-footing bullshit, so if that's all you have then stop commenting.

Sorry, I mean for some users who can barely use computers as it is, so mostly the elderly. For us obviously it's not too complex. But for some, it is, and it's also largely overkill because some groups don't want to run softw

I'm sure their contract explicitly states that their account can be suspended or terminated immediately without prior notice upon violating some TOS. And, most TOS are incredibly wide and vague, it wouldn't necessarily be hard to

I don't think you're typically told why for these things, and it's mostly automated from what I can tell. The automated systems make mistakes but more importantly they're completely opaque. Nobody, not even Google, knows

There's a big mistake in this logic: is work really not getting done? Because a lot of work has to be done regardless of if you have the money or time to do it. Most government work is actually not optional, there are literal laws sayi

Theres a natural tension here, because in order for this to be true you need a diverse market with many competitors. But that is bad usually, because it's extremely inefficient, so it gets optimized out. The monopolies we see are indee

It's almost certainly true but not intentional. As time goes on, the requirements of software seem to increase. Especially, these days, GPU-wise. Fancy animations and effects are common and they're usually implemented very subopti
