I never said that you should prefer 3 star restaurant. I was responding to the specific claim that home cooked meals are always better than eating out.

What you find regrettable is your problem, not mine. If I invite people, I do it for the people, if I go out to eat I do it for the food. I don't see why this regrettable just beca…

> I think nobody in my country would say going out to eat is better than eating at home. You haven't eaten at a 2 or 3 star restaurant then. They use ingredients you don't have acc…

Completely anecdotally: I am 46yo. And I was in a reading slump for most of my fourties. I used to be an avid reader until I became a father and my 3 children began taking up more …

You can use verbs passively to do something on something else. Or you can have your program or process do it. Logically, I see no difference between: "The HandlerCreationFactory cr…

It only targets big "platform providers" not startups. It even levels the playing field for those startups. People get so ideologically tangled that they just knee jerk.

In the case of iMessage, Apple has a competitive advantage that stifles competition, not enhances it. Setting a baseline for interoperability is not the same as requiring them all …

Not just that, it's removing barriers for competition. Which is what good regulations is all about. (and, technically it more than just bubble color, it's also including everyone i…

Even after all these years, people still have this misconception about TTD. No idea where it came from.

No, it was earlier. I was subscribed to this Dogbert newsletter and it was increasingly obvious that he was not as logical as he thought he was. Like really believing in positive a…

translated: Never complain, proles, just be glad you get some scraps from that ever-growing economy. Even if it's less than your parents.

The only questionable part is end-to-end encryption. I don't see how you can make your messaging apps interoperable and have E2E encryption. Most of the other things: mostly good. …

The article is wrong. I don't get how this could make it to the top. It has nothing to do with greenhouse emissions, but with nitrogen compound emission. See https://www.dutchnews.…

yes. When I get called in as a senior consultant for some business app, it's always for the same reason: development speed has crawled to an almost stop. And it is always caused by…

Limits on free speech by government is dangerous. Private companies enforcing rules you have agreed to when you became a member, is something completely different.

Wild speculation with a sprinkle of logic (garbage assumptions lead to garbage conclusions) HOWEVER, I have skimmed through it by now and the last paragraph is actually quite good.…

As others have said: you need to think about your functionality as a public API. How the API works under the hood shouldn't affect your tests. So how do you test private methods? Y…

I stopped reading right here: "Considering the factors mentioned above, we can reason that unit tests are only useful to verify pure business logic inside of a given function." Tha…

Nah. EBM does explain the obesity crisis. We're just eating more. The average American consumes more than 3,600 calories daily – a 24% increase from 1961, when the average was just…

That's why the scientific literature uses the better term "ultra-processed" to mark the difference between, say a loaf of bread and a chicken nugget.

This is already 6 years old: https://cei.org/blog/study-wounds-the-carbohydrate-insulin-t... Basically, as long as proteine is controlled for, there is no long term fat-loss differ…

Why are we still talking about the CIM? It failed practically every test we threw at it. Sure low carb diets can make you lose weight, but that's because you eat less, not because …

Of course. Becoming a milionaire because your dad gave you a million is not what people understand as being meritocratic. They already get a lot of advantages during their life bec…

Real strict type checking (as in, eg, Haskell ) does indeed make your code resistant to a certain type of bug. But the kind of type checking Typescript gives you is mostly useful a…
