I agree with your take but interestingly it seems to be both an argument for, and against, calling it a spectrum. Humans are so good at adapting/conforming/masking, and we adjust ourselves toward a common accepted way of behaving

You just called yourself out- I don't think most people are aware of a "Clean Code" handbook. I had to google it. When most people think of "clean code", they are not thinking about whatever got you so worked up.

Yep it's tough to be optimistic. I like to think about a micro-meteorite falling on my head. It's possible at any moment, and yet I always ask myself why I'm not worried about it. The best advice that anyone can give you is

There's probably just some ~Wordpress dev who picked from a selection of B-Roll. The CEO probably marginally understands bread and isn't a raisin french toast peanut butter freak.

I've spent probably 200 hours with MoonScript, was obsessed with it for a bit, and love it 90% of the time. The problem is that MoonScript's grammar is INCREDIBLY permissive. Common typos(often involving spaces) don't break

I know a lady whose entire job was literally replaced by an Excel spreadsheet that I created in a few nights of intense VB programming. It wasn't my intention to "eliminate jobs". Anyways, I got basically nothing "extr

Every attempt at escaping mutability basically kills the language in the mainstream because so much of "real" programming is just bit-twiddling that gets too verbose when immutability is involved. It's a good question whethe

I use "The Boring Report" for this. It helped wean me off sensational websites, including hackernews, because I was able to get my "fix" without addictive toxicity. Some of the summaries were hilarious though, like fiv

I think it also reinforces the basic fake news premise that experts are propagandists.

Not that the authors were necessarily doing this, but I think that simply attempting to associate misinformation vulnerability with mental illness really misses the whole point. Fake news rewards a belief choice that healthy people indulg

This reminds me of discussions about superfluous information in human language sentences. Consider the phrase "that man is bad" versus "that man bad". Somewhat crappy example, but basically yes, an idea can be conveyed

Honestly this whole thread is very pedantic. Popularity doesn't define a feature, and the writer probably just plucked the word "feature" from a few not-great options. Either way, general grumpiness about Rust being used to

In flight school lore, during a training exercise, a plane righted itself from "uncontrollable flat spin" after ejection. Basically, pilot input can fight against the natural stability of the plane's design. Also: > Durin

I got sucked into a clickbait recipe video for "2 ingredient cake". The video was just over 10 minutes long, which I think puts it in a different monetization category on youtube. I spent wayyy too much time out of my life tryin

There are plenty of situations where averaging two safe-but-opposite inputs would cause a crash. For instance, if you're holding hands/handcuffed with someone and walking toward a pole, you must both either go left, or both go ri

I see a lot of Navy pilots say "fingers and toes" to ground themselves, prevent white-knuckling, and as a "reality check". I started doing it in moments in life where I recognize that I am getting intense or lost in the

It's a significant money investment to renovate a space for co-working. Also, if you move spaces, you will lose some customers to attrition. There's a lot of overhead... it's not like everyone just teleports to a different

We get it, it's bad at math, the same way a truck is not great for watersports. Definitely worth being aware of but hopefully has stopped being a source of outrage.

I can tell you about some failed experiments I did at age 13 with my buddies. We would go out to the concrete ditch behind the neighborhood and fill up various containers with gasoline and firecrackers. Pretty lame, but satisfied the itch

I don't know of one individual who has just remained consistently happy 100% of the time, but in my experience it amounts to communal humor and innate stability. As far as a happy lifestyle, for about 4 months I lived with a family in

This is my second ChatGPT comment so I hate to sound like an evangelist, but it basically does this, reproducibly: You describe a complex relationship between several nodes(people, cities, etc), and then ask ChatGPT to draw the relationship

Your thinking is very emotional and shows your inability to understand that "conversational output" is basically an accidental side-effect of a complex tool that just replicates our speech without understanding what it is saying.
