Given that many of our current-day subterranean environments are also covered in art and strewn with drug paraphernalia, can we really say that it played a key role in the rise of the civilization?

I don’t know, “the change is a major pain in the ass” might be a good addition as criterion 4.

I think that’s what we’re all talking about here, you shouldn’t.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick”. A Europe that is internally powerful can conduct trade in the fair and liberal way that matches its ideals.

Coupled or uncoupled, an equal relationship between the US and the EU is much healthier. Europe should have an economy, military and industrial capacity similar to the US.

The means to do it would be things like uranium steel mills and concrete plants (via hydrogen production) or any of the huge number of industrial uses of heat. The amount of coal and oil burnt to produce industrial heat is mind-boggling. Pe

Nature isn't an arbiter of truth, it's a publisher of papers. It's also meant to be read critically by people who see a paper like this and and think "interesting, but this is just an observational study, I'd like t

It might be common sense if you work with statistics, but most people don’t, and the only way they would know these things is if someone says them. Regardless, it was the top comment so people clearly think it was valuable enough to vote fo

By its fundamental design, an observational study cannot account for everything. That is the critique and it is a valid one.

Would you prefer that people accept claims uncritically? It’s a valid critique of the results.

What works for me to avoid these problems is not scaling.

That’s what I did when I built my stuff. I have deterministic content with AI commentary, where it seems most people are doing this crazy thing of sending data through the model. I can’t understand it.

That is a really edgy and cool opinion.

I tried jujutsu for a while and it’s nice if you’re the kind of person who lives in the commits. But it became a bit of a pain to manually move the branch name around all the time, and I spend a lot more time moving forward on a few branche

To each his own, but it seems like all this could be one moderately-sized AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, and much of it doesn’t need to be detailed at all. For example, you could just put “always follow TDD” in there. If you want to be very comp

I never said anything about medical emergencies, and nobody is forcing you to own one today.

This is backwards. With public transport you have to be near public transport. With a car you can go from any start point to any end point. Banning cars would mean you either work in a local coffee shop or supermarket or something, or you w

Seeing as the comparable drive is probably a half hour, if you’ve sat in the car for an hour and a half then you’ve found a great way to spend your time. Nobody wants to commute either by bus or by car, so the reason that they are doing it

This shows a total lack of empathy for people without the wealth to live wherever they want. “You can sit on a bus for an hour and a half, dummy” is a terrible argument. I’m glad we all have great work situations, for many of us working fro

Novels aren't the only thing with copyright, and aren't really even the main thing that copyright protects. It also covers engineering reports, technical specs, journalism, blog posts, emails, internal memos, marketing copy, acade
