It’s a complex topic that’s usually treated with a lot of bias and very little nuance. Most mental health issues tend to be treated as something to be removed whereas in the case of gender dysphoria, the empirically proven treatment is (of

- If I know my employer only gives me 5 days, I'll go to work with a cold and save them for if/when I really need them. - If I don't get paid my full salary when I'm sick and I need the money, I'll go to work sick a

I wouldn’t use the number of sick days as some form of “national health metric” since there’s probably a bunch of factors that influence it as much (if not more) than actual sickness, like for example: how many sick days are you actually al

I guess it depends on what your personal priorities are. I’d say most Europeans prioritize their families, friends and life _away from work_ over work, but maybe you don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ahh I see. I misunderstood what you meant with global prosperity. I understood it as "everyone being prosperous". You mean a few individual becoming insanely prosperous at the expense of everyone else. Then you're completely

The excuse will be that these are just casualties of war and we'll shrug it off and move on, whereas the imaginary beheaded babies from October 7 are unforgivable and excuse any action on Israel's behalf. Boycott. Divestment. Sanc

Well, I'd like my writing and my code to be something I can share with other people freely, but not let it be part of a data set some company uses in their for-profit product. Of course, a crawler can also mock user agents and fetch da

I've been thinking it'd be nice there was a way to just block AI bots completely and allow indexing, but I'm guessing [that's impossible]( https://blog.cloudflare.com/perplexity-is-using-stealth-unde... ).

Is there any way to simulate (maybe even interactively) things like focus and zoom? It would be cool to have some way to shift lenses (or lens groups) along the optical axis and visualize how light rays get projected onto the image plane.

A few of our mid-level engineers started sending in PRs with worse than usual code in the last few months. It all compiles, but: - There's a bunch of missing edge cases and requirements (details that don't end up on tickets but ha
