For me it wasn't cultural. Perl was my first language because I wanted to make interactive websites and that was the most common way to do it in the late 90s. Shortly after, everyone switched to PHP because mod_php was much faster than

FWIW "quantum advantage" and "quantum supremacy" are synonyms, some people just prefer the former because the latter reminds them of "white supremacy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_

I suspect that most people would not vote for a government policy that puts their favorite websites out of business so they can do more chores :)

In some sense, "no one wants to be advertised to" is similar to "no one wants to pay for stuff". Like yeah it'd be nice if my groceries were free, but that's not very realistic, the grocery store would just clo

Yeah, this article says the 2023 price of a new Model Y was $48k, and then in 2024 it was worth only $33k used. But in 2024 I bought a brand new Model Y for about $33k, after factoring in all the incentives/rebates. So if anything that

In NJ it goes further and the poorest towns have much better funded schools than average. Been that way for decades. Zuckerberg even gave us an extra $100 million just for fun. None of it has affected the disparity in outcomes.

My bad, it really annoyed me when npm stopped respecting lockfiles years ago so I stopped using it. That's great news that they eventually changed their mind. However in rare cases where I am forced to use it to contribute to some npm-

If they were for some reason doing `npm install` rather than `npm ci`, then `npm install` does update packages in the lock file. Personally I always found that confusing, and yarn/pnpm don't behave that way. I think most people do

You could block only ads from Google and Meta. Most large sites use header bidding, where Google's ads are a fallback only if no other ad company bids higher, so most ad revenue come from those other companies. And IIRC Meta doesn&#x27

Here in NJ a lot of people are complaining about electricity price increases. Upon looking into it, it seems that the reason is mostly a combination of population growth, shutting down old power plants, and not building enough new power pla

Well there's infinite ways to combine peak and career totals, and "10 years of 1 WAR is equal to 1 year of 10 WAR" is certainly one of them.

Even just with normal WAR https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/WAR_career.shtml he comes out at #38 all time. I'm not sure summing up career WAR is the best way to rank players, though. It favors guys who pl

My argument is that people seem to get very worked up when the Jews do something, but basically nobody cares about other similar or even worse things done by other people. I suspect this is most likely because of antisemitism (not that ever

They all already completed that over the past 75 years, there aren't any Jews left in those countries anymore.

There are currently about 40 countries that have a higher Muslim percentage than Israel's Jewish percentage. Many of them much higher. Many of them kicked out all their Jews in recent history.

I'm aware of that stuff. That's why I said "mostly". That stuff is bad, but only somewhat impedes the effectiveness of header bidding. There still is bidding going on, there still are many bids being won by companies bes

With a broad enough definition of "iterate" you could have. Regardless, 99% of users don't want to customize their desktop environment so the defaults are really important.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like today if we had just kept iterating on GNOME 2 rather than trying to do 50 different new things simultaneously... Personally I still use MATE :)
