The word commonly used for this sort of thing is "ineffable" - that which cannot be put into words. If you want to see a less "these are magical" and more "here's some science" perspective, you might like

More and more research is showing that poverty has a severe impact on the brain, and left unchecked it can become nearly unbreakable. Many of the decisions made by impoverished people are either somewhat sensible for their situation in the

The final time I ordered from DoorDash, the driver ignored directions (which no one else had ever had issues with), didn't tell me there was something wrong with the directions I had sent him 10 minutes in until over half an hour after

As a member of the LGBT community, there are entire states I will not move to until they fix their legislation/legislators. I also will never move back to PA because of their filial responsibility laws.

It's less a retelling and more an expression of a culmination of factors in post-war Japan. Japanese media in that era really had a lot of fear about the post-war state, especially the loss of culture, baked in.

The company I work at is considering this as part of a pretty big shift in our infrastructure. Beyond the obvious upsides, what cost do they come at?

Honestly, that was the one part of 4 that I thought was a worthwhile addition. The main story was just incredibly bland to me.

First, there is no IQ barrier. I have several friends who, based on psychologist-administered IQ tests, are very, very close to average, who do well in the industry, usually better than me. They worked hard to get where they wanted to go.

This is pretty much it. My generation has been called entitled, lazy, selfish, etc, for wanting the same things our parents were given, like a living wage, affordable college, or career stability. In what world is that friendly?

We've had the opposite experience - it's been slow, clunky, and hard to learn/teach. Of course, seeing some of the other things the former admin/advocate for it did after she left, I'm not sure it's Grafana&#x

200k documents per second really isn't that much for Elasticsearch. The single-instance setup we have in my small company (around 25 people total) has been sent in excess of 40k/s at times, and even then it doesn't slow down

I'll second this one. Most of the people in my office who watch anime have all said that SEL played a part in their path in life. It's fun to watch, it has some great artwork, and it's still surprisingly relevant. Just don

The cognitive impact of wealth has been pretty well studied, and there is already a very good population being studied for this - farmers in some places are pretty well off immediately after harvest/sale, and just before the next harve

That's the really important thing - we use websockets pretty heavily here, and users can have bizarre issues with them. With this, it does just work. It's not the best or the shiniest, but it's the easiest and the most comp

Someone from my local community runs a non-profit that, on paper, sounds great, and he gets a ton of these types of awards for the work he does. Except he doesn't actually do much work. I don't mean he, personally, isn't re

Somehow, in Memphis, we ended up with "junt" in a very similar use.

I ended up building a transcoder within the past few months using Lambda that is handling, as of today, 500k+ videos per month and growing. This was replacing a set of EC2 instances similar to what you described. A few caveats I ran into:

It's federal law, in fact. It still happens, but it's "technically" illegal.

I stopped reading here: It’s fine for the algorithm to have separate logical parts, but in a function this is a violation of the single responsibility principle. If it's contained inside the algorithm, and never done elsewhere, then it

When we talked a decade ago about "when open source wins", we were really excited for it. Now that it's happened, some people are freaking out. This is what winning looks like, though. This was the plan all along.

At my last job, I was getting paid $45k/yr and was expected to work 80-100 hours per week, on top of a 1.5 hour round-trip commute, because the other people on the team for the project were pulled to do other things that were deemed &q

In this case, a higher resolution timer might be accurate to microseconds, while a lower resolution might be accurate down to milliseconds. Resolution here is about how low you can drill down before it becomes useless.

I had one bad experience, and it was so bad I nearly stopped buying from Amazon. Product did not arrive on time, spoke to support rep. Rep said that it was delayed because it was coming from overseas, which the tracking information easily d

The biggest issue if we can make it non-transmissible (which we are already to that point for first-world serodiscordant couples, to a large degree) is getting it to the third world, where not only is there no money for this, but there&#x27

We had a developer interview here who was an Elixir zealot - and I use that word entirely purposefully. He was very adamant that we needed to rewrite our entire platform in Elixir because it was obviously better. We ended up not hiring;

Michael Pollan's "How To Change Your Mind" delves into this in some depth. As someone who has found some actual relief from previously crippling anxiety using cannabidiol, I'm really hoping to see progress on this front.

This is how the BLS U3 statistic is arrived at. The U3 is the federal-level unemployment figure that is most commonly pointed to. The U3 specifically does not include discouraged workers, those who are underemployed, or those who simply ar
