    Why should a company be forced to continue to pay for employees they aren't in need of?

    Yeah I've seen a lot of people who seem to believe that the prompts they give ChatGPT aren't being cataloged and saved when they certainly are. It sends every prompt you give it to…

    What do you all think a fun tech-stack/framework to learn and write an application with would be? Performance, productivity, etc all are secondary concerns, bonuses of course, but …

    Because young people don't die often, the requirement to be a "leading cause" isn't very high. According to the article Covid ranks 8th in causes of death with about 1,300 deaths i…

    As someone who isn't too well versed on the topic, how are you so certain in your belief that all life is carbon based?

    As someone without a lot of knowledge of GO and with only a trivial understanding of OTP/the gen_server impl, how would this add friction? What exactly is wrong with it and what wo…

    There are "plenty" of cold days as well. Does that disprove global warming? Not only is "plenty" not an objective quantity, but even an objectively large quantity is irrelevant if …

    Nice! Thanks. Looks like my numbers were a bit off due to being out of date. To anyone who wants to know, currently the Swiss Big Mac is 35.4% more expensive than the US one.

    You must be misremembering the price disparity. A quick Google shows that Switzerland is home to "the most expensive big Mac in the world"[1] at 6.50CHF. Almost double the US's ave…

    You must not have gone out to eat much recently then. I'm on the road a lot and I'd estimate that over 50% of all restaurants I visit have a QR code menu.
