I'm inclined to agree, this was a weird read. after the first few no's, there was definitely an opportunity for alexei to make it clear to anna that she was always welcome, but he was going to stop inviting her every single time.

probably depends on what kind of stuff you're working on. I mostly build web services and data pipelines on AWS, where java is still the best supported language (even if others have joined the list of officially recommended). java migh

the advantage of var is not clear in toy examples. in real life, people write stuff like Map<String, MyExtremelySpecificAndVeryLongTypeName> myExtremelySpecificAndVeryLongTypeNameMap = myExtremelySpecificAndVeryLongTypeNameMapProv

it consistently works and has a huge ecosystem, but "beautiful" is never a word I would use to describe java. off the top of my head: * no type level concept of a const object (ie, you can have a const reference to a List, but nev

I think the issue is more about the angle of the lights than their brightness. lowbeams are only supposed to illuminate a fairly short distance in front of the vehicle. this is a big problem with lifted trucks. the owners don’t bother to re

1. how? healthy chickens lay an egg every 1-2 days. a small number of chickens produce more than enough for an entire household. everyone I know who keeps chickens gives most of the eggs away. 2. chickens are the ultimate garbage disposal.

depends what you’re trying to do. there are plenty of alternatives for spreading on toast or frying/sauteing. but it’s still a pretty central ingredient for western cuisine. I have no idea how I’d make a vegan roux, just for example. m

I’m not even talking about that. I’m imagining something more like LA county but with more trains and fewer cars. you mostly live and work within a 30 minute travel radius, but still visit friends and specialty shops in other nearby cores w

I can’t exactly compare ray tracing performance when it didn’t exist at that time. or is this a joke about rendering games no longer being the primary use case for an nvidia gpu?

lots of places. the people at the warehouse rave usually did something else earlier in the night. maybe you met them at a bar or show and asked what they were doing later. “what are you doing this weekend” is a normal thing to ask anyone yo

it's possible, but idk why you would expect that. just to pick an arbitrary example since steve ran some recent tests, a 1080 ti is more or less equal to a 4060 in raster performance, but needs more than double the power and a much mor

I don't live in SF, so could definitely be some local nuances I'm missing. in NYC, there is a pretty clear partisan split on the new congestion tax. the (relatively) red leaning areas are the loudest opponents. I guess having so m

I've thought about the same thing and concluded this basically reduces to "why do economies organize around dense urban cores"? pretty much any business that can afford to will want to rent space in the barycenter of a metro

buses and cars compete for the same right of way. improving one mode necessarily comes at the cost of the other, but many more people can be moved with a bus. trains would be even better, but people don't like to see the price tag. alm

sure, name and address aren't worth much alone. but they get more valuable if you can associate other bits of information with them. surprising insights can be gained by joining a bunch of seemingly innocuous facts about a person. usua

needlessly adversarial. financial aid is a best effort kind of thing, and plenty of people with unusual situations fall through the cracks.

I thought the feds pay a large portion of construction but the states pay most of the maintenance. some states clearly do a worse job of highway maintenance than others. it's like night and day crossing the MD/PA border on I-95.

in the short term, people will work crazy hours to hit a date if it's the difference between a 7 figure bonus and getting fired. if the estimate is based on devs working reasonable hours, that's a lot of slack built in. I'm s

stock grants don't solve the principal agent problem at a sufficiently large company. if I have an absolutely incredible year as an IC, I might increase my employers revenue by a few basis points. I have plenty of internal metrics to d

for better or for worse, gaming has gone mainstream. there are now a lot of dollars chasing easy wins. even a computer graphics enthusiast, it is really sad to see that they have optimized for incredible rendering pipelines and utterly forg

the "unvested stock" thing is largely misunderstood. you have a target compensation number, and every year you get new awards to keep hitting that. if the stock goes up fast, your effective comp is higher than planned in the short

eh, big company, many different opinions. working on stuff that's already built can be pretty chill. you spend a lot of time being hard blocked on approvals from external teams. no amount of extra hours can change that, and management

I haven't yet chosen a side in the great uber vs taxi debate. but in general, driving lots of different people around all day sounds like a pretty good use of a car. it would be great to have a more comprehensive approach for pricing t

idk, I honestly think congestion pricing would still be a good idea even if they just lit all the toll proceeds on fire. I almost wonder if it was a political blunder to couple "reduce cars in lower manhatten" with "more fund

are A and B both operating in the US in your example? if yes, then USG has a legitimate interest in removing that perverse incentive. if not, then the US criminal justice system seems like the wrong place to solve the problem. my point is t

seems like a false dilemma to me. the platform owner should do all those responsible things that you mention. they should also offer an escape hatch for turning all those portions off, should the owner of the device so choose. I respect App
