Running, done properly, builds muscle, joint, and bone strength (it seems you are implying that it doesn't). Of course, there is plenty wrong in the world of casual running where runners try to rack up mileage without ever looking at p

A boring dystopia indeed. One day someone will be hunched over on a sidewalk, dying of thirst, and a patrolling Nestle®-branded drone senses (using state-of-the-art machine learning "customer needs" technology) his predicament. Th

Spotify has atrocious quality, their apps frequently are unresponsive and crash or won't play music often. Just about everyone I know who uses it complains about it from time to time. I haven't tried YT music so I can't compa

Yes, and there is a large chasm between discovery and information that is widely known and accepted among the population. For instance, many Europeans went with Ptolemy's less accurate calculation (made hundreds of years after Eratosth

The original Bitcoin paper was published late 2008 and much of its original momentum was a direct response to the clear failures of the financial institutions at the time.

Yes standards useful and workplaces can easily enforce their own internal ones for things like line length limits. But they are useless if they do not work for everyone who they apply to and especially not if they don't adapt to world

Certainly getting out of the scope of the orignal discussion here, but you would think people should be able to have their code layout and style to their own preference suited for their device. There are problems with that to overcome certa

Could be interesting to explore using media queries to change the code layout itself, like setting indent levels and line break placements (in listing method parameters, for example). Maybe even variable/class/method name collapsi

The Internet just got less weird and more and more it feels like the days of it being "sketchy" to the average user are mostly over. On the other hand, social media can be insidious and in some ways it's made society weird as

The movie box-officed $400M which alone probably exceeds how much Stratton Oakmont earned, let alone streaming, etc. Scorsese's whole thing is to sell you on some despicable figure, but really the movie is portraying a very glamorized

These, the higher quality DAC, and the lack of software bloat are killer features for me. I'm not looking forward to replacing my G7.

Yes, you make some good points here but I would argue that in most organizations that skills that make for effective engineering are aligned well with those required for managing. At a certain point, reinvesting into programming ability see

Yes, I think that's an important distinction - you need a critical mass of people sharing in countercultural behavior/practices in some way to get an actual counterculture. Many people have eschewed social media for one reason or

This is pretty cool, but SSRIs + MDMA can cause serotonin syndrome which is potentially life-threatening [0] but is considered low-risk by the tool. [0] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24006318/

It indicates global warming as well. Colder weather is occurring below the Arctic because the polar air is getting pushed down (my laymen's understanding), and the Arctic winters are getting warmer and warmer as a trend.

Blowers and weed wackers shift from throttled to idle all over the place and are a lot harder to tune out than mowers at least for me. Road noise likewise is pretty background and largely from tires, not engines, anyway, unless you have a l

As soon as they had a big enough short position and unloaded their long is when the spiral happened. They were the ones setting the swaps prices since they were the biggest market maker for mortgage backed securities.

If you lend money to someone, especially someone on the brink of insolvency, then you are buying whatever they are. Of course, Citadel can be on both or any number sides but they still take on exposure in that direction.
