I read the article as saying it ignores all upper-bounds, and 4.0 is just an example. I could be wrong though - it seems ambiguous to me. But if we accept that it currently ignores any upper-bounds checks greater than v3, that's intere

He's calculating EV above cost. If you look at the calculation, the first term is -1000 to account for the initial investment. So the final value is tell you that you got back the initial money plus 900 more.

I feel like the process of editing my own stuff is at least as important as getting it down. That's when I go back through it and realize all the conclusions I leapt to, things I didn't thoroughly consider, and other flaws. I thin

I feel like PassKeys and browser-integrated password managers both solve this problem better already. And yeah they're extra things to do, but so is this.

There are recycling pilot projects out there, but yeah it's a problem. Do you also wonder how we'll get rid of used coal power plants, massive piles of toxic fly ash, and tons of pollutants from natural gas plants? Because so far

Definitely a thing. Just yesterday I was annoyed by my auto mechanic's credit card fee, and said they should've told me up front. She pointed out it was on a sign on the counter that I was looking at that moment, and had also been

Isn't the local equivalent of Reddit just NextDoor? Which seems to mostly be worse, from what I can tell.

If I understood the article correctly, you can get a feed that isn't moderated by their team. So I'm not sure what your complaint is? That other people can get moderation if they choose to?

Since they're mostly not public, I'd say probably very few. From TFA: > To make things even more complex, many of these large companies are not traded publicly on the stock market, meaning their total number of holdings is not

I think you're missing that person's point though. This evolution implied in the thread was: 1. Write "logging" data (observability, whatever) 2. Someone else starts using that to drive behavior 3. Change your logging, b

You seem to be thinking specifically about documentation for one particular project, eg API docs. And in that context I'd agree. But Wikis are useful for things that are shared, or that are not tied to a particular product, or don&#x27

Works if you live in a first-floor, street-facing unit and can reliably park in front of it. Otherwise it can be tough. It's unfortunate that EVs make the most immediate sense in high-density urban settings, but those same settings hav

> clashing shades of horrible colors (for camo) They tried something similar for ships and a few planes. I think it wasn't very effective as camouflage though, and was more intended to confuse the distance & direction of travel.

>you'll be able to order compatible replacement parts 20 years from now. Is that because it's an industry standard, or just that the manufacturer promises, or something? Sheer curiosity - I know nothing about this space. :)

lol, I did that with an internal tool once. It actually worked in that case - the name was changed. Although the "so terrible it couldn't exist" name persisted in some dark corners for several years.

Digging a tunnel through a rock wall with a tiny hammer over years, as in The Shawshank Redemption, seems very similar. Both sound like a lot of work though.
