This is hilarious and I agree. I think an under-appreciated aspect of all this is the complete schadenfreude from everyone. The story goes tariffs only hurt yourself but then we see retaliatory tariffs in response. "Oh yeah I'm go

Are you American? The US has community and equitable distribution schemes. 50% of all assets is the default under both schemes with alimony regularly awarded to women to make up for lack of income. Changing divorce laws to be less equitable

This is false. Can you cite a source for the idea that the 30-year mortgage was "founded" on the idea of appreciation? The thirty year mortgage was introduced to reduce the housing appreciation requirement the old balloon loan sys

I did not know option + shift + hyphen produced an em dash. I've always used a double hyphen as a stand in -- as I did just now. LLMs don't do it and I haven't been accused yet. Though, more likely, I'm not popular enoug

In moments like these I'm reminded of all the people who have committed suicide due to billing errors. This is completely unacceptable. These sorts of errors must _never_ happen.

Very cool project. Next they should create a database with SQL. Querying my database's database with my database's SQL's SQL would be trippy.

Uh, they spent hundreds of billions to get their flag ship products blocked by a democratic body with no possibility of recovering their capital except by concession of the people's representative?

I love the "year of the linux desktop" meme but even so I feel compelled to say it. Year of the Linux desktop?? You don't need a new machine if your new OS uses 1/4 of the resources.

They've got mine... Fly to Canada and your face gets scanned. I forgot this event and was surprised, walking through an American airport flying to another domestic location, that my picture and name appeared on an airline's screen

You can test this. All of them identify slavery as the root cause. Gemini says: > The U.S. Civil War (1861–1865) was fought primarily over the institution of slavery, specifically whether it would be allowed to expand into newly acquired

This should be read sarcastically. Its an idiom in the US. You state something you view as obviously true while qualifying it with "maybe - just maybe". Its commonly said in a comedic tone.

These sorts of articles have no value. The author is a "media entrepreneur". Being forced to read his opinion intermixed with out of context pull-quotes is not a good use of anyone's time. If Dawkins gave his opinion at lengt

That is an unfair characterization of Zig. The OP correctly points out: > Function signatures don’t change based on how they’re scheduled, and async/await become library functions rather than language keywords. The functions have th

If your only target is web then there is no benefit other than a reduction in complexity. For example, a "row" is not just a "<div>" tag. Its a div which horizontally fills its container. Centering contents with a

I really like these projects but missing from them is genericity. If you're taking the time to build a WASM app in Rust it would be nice if that app could compile to something other than WASM. For example, looking at the sycamore websi
