For most of the services I've looked this closely at, maximum would be a proxy for load. Or in the case of a benchmark suite you'd expect max to increase with the number of iterati…

> Because at least old money understands the concept of noblesse oblige Interesting observation. I recently learned from a Fresh Air interview with Heather McGhee about Hinton Rowa…

I have a guitar pedal that uses blue and red LEDs to indicate mode. Part of my bedtime ritual is to stomp it to the red mode.

The article describes men who feel so incapable of expressing themselves in a way that can't be reasonably construed as sexist that they don't say anything. I think this is irratio…

Or maybe these fragile adult millionaire men could just... try harder? have more tact? Maybe we should have higher expectations of these men to have a little more awareness? All th…

10s of millions of people participated in protests last summer in the US. 700k is 10% of HK population. Both are extraordinary, it's not obvious to me who should win the "most well…

Why are you grinding your axe in this thread? Totally irrelevant to TFA

Your efficacy point should be obvious from just realizing that a 300lb man gets the same dose as a 80lb child.

As a white, straight, cisgender, male, , I can't say I've ever been "insulted with reference to X" in the workplace. The "let me explain discrimination to you" responses from white…

I've only read "The Buried Giant", but can strongly recommend it. Beautiful, and sad, dreamy, poetic and fable-like.

> presented a false promise by progressives I think this is a poor framing for the rest of your comment, which is essentially a feminist critique of patriarchy and capitalism, and …

Arguably the "new kind of Amish" are... just the Amish; they've continued to adopt new technologies when they comport with their particular values. Other intensional communities ma…

I also came to post this. It's great. I've got a degree in classical performance (and deeply love and respect that tradition), but more often collaborate musically with people who …

If StrictData were simply made the new default (with exceptions for lists and some other things in the standard lib), I bet very little code would break. It certainly wouldn't chan…

I've always been curious about basketball. It seems to have the same dynamic as big group races, where people are just trying to keep pace with each other until a final sprint. Yet…

I had a summer job in college with a real estate partnership that consisted entirely of filing unopened bills and liens into four different bins based on the project, each a differ…

I'm not sure what my point is here exactly, but: debian has had an "app store" for 20+ years that works brilliantly, can be trusted not to fuck with or spy on you, has never pulled…

How much does a successful youtuber/internet personality make? It seems like he might have even some economic incentive not to jump ship and risk losing social cache

I'm really out of my depth here but my understanding is at a certain point short sellers start getting forced to buy at whatever price, pushing the stock up further?

Vague predictions of inevitable violence (never "when we start a civil war", always "when the civil war happens" or "when the shit hits the fan") does seem like a hallmark of the f…

Why not just read a newspaper?

That's all fine. But I don't think social science research supports the idea that rank-and-file (or self-identified, if you prefer) conservatives in the US are actually motivated b…
