The article seems to me just a regular criticism, not her saying she could do better? Counterpoint to your view on critics. A discerning audience is equally as important to a thriv…

Where did anyone say a global ban or even national? I personally do not see it as "an incredible economic opportunity," I see it as a massive gamble that won't bear fruit, but that…

"totalitarian" for a democratically elected representative government to ban something? How? If other counties or states want them fine, godspeed, take them. We'll be just fine wit…

I'd say Farsi is too. I'm finding it easier than Spanish much to my surprise.

"people, universally, want the best product available" Maybe I'm not a person, but I almost always pick one of the cheaper if not cheapest option. Rarely, if ever, do I care enough…

No, this guy (the writer of the article) has no idea what he’s talking about. I say this as someone isn’t even on the left. He sets a false dichotomy to protect himself from critic…

RStudio is still a web app. It's GWT with QtWebEngine whereas this is Electron. Not too different.

You should read a bit more beyond Wikipedia. It’s a far, far more complicated and interesting story than you’re portraying it to be. The Catholic Church actually initially funded C…

Yup

He/she isn't used to it. Any R, Elixir, or F# developer would be right at home with this syntax.

Any chance you remember the name of the SQLite course?

Why? The first 4 government functions he dismantled or took over are CFPB, NLRB, USAID, and Treasury. Weakening, removing, or taking control of any/all of those directly benefit hi…

Pretty much everything you said here doesn't align with history. And if anything, Catholics are more inclined to agree that the Bible is a product of human writing and translation …

Bun too

It’s an entire book length of material, but in short, for built up areas drivers are forced through street to design to be higher alert to their surroundings. EX: chicanes in the r…

Agreed. But I don’t think economics is off the hook here either. To me it’s the social science that best masquerades as a “hard” science while still make huge jumps in logic that a…

DC might not be the best comparison here as far as American cities go. I - and most people I know - walk around the city year round and I live on the top of a pretty steep hill.

I haven't found this to be true at all. In fact, I'd say the majority of studies I read - even from prestigious journals - is fraught with bad statistics. I have no idea how some o…

I can attest that the frequentist view is still very much the mainstream here too and fills almost every college curriculum across the United States. You may get one or two Bayesia…

Keynote is awesome. Last I checked a few years ago though Numbers was nowhere even close to Excel. No dynamic array formulas, Power Query, lambda functions, VBA, etc. All are prett…

Except that's not what I'm saying and it does in fact matter what's under the hood if you're looking for a scientific, causal explanation of organic intelligence. I know that AIs a…

I believe you, and LLMs are no doubt useful, but "under the hood" it's still just predicting what the next token should be based on the provided context. I take it he's saying that…

If you're genuinely interested in this below are a couple things you could read to help get some background. Its actually a pretty fascinating history. Judging by your phrasing, yo…
