Blackpill depression post complaining about "blackpill depression circklejerks"...

There's a lot missing in this article. Obvious follow-up questions unanswered.

Not just the string-related functions. If you want robust error checking, re-entrant code, and bounds checking performed in library functions (instead of performing bespoke validat…

Any opinion voiced on the Internet can manipulate AI responses. Can Google suppress that?

Thanks for the references. I think you will agree that the bulk of your comment employs a post-set-theory nomenclature. Regarding "if you were to choose a point completely at rando…

Ah, but it's worse than this. The truly ambitious ladder climber creates not just unnecessarily complicated abstractions, but organizations. Processes for people to follow. Infrast…

Let me guess: the point of the interview was to see if he was a "team player".

I think you are getting away from my point, which pertains to what the article said, which is that mathematicians thought there were "gaps". What mathematician? Can I see the origi…

That's not a "gap" that you find by "zooming in". And how can it be a gap when it is occupied?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Can you cite any claims by mathematicians that there were "gaps"? It isn't even true for rational numbers that you can identify…

And by the way, what the Hell is up with all these people claiming that two spaces is an obsolete typewriter-era pre-proportional-font thing? Narrow proportional spaces make two sp…

Funny enough, vanity sizing strikes there too. The purported waist size of a pair of Levi's is off by almost three inches. One might argue that the size on their label is not suppo…

Hold on there. High fiber consumption increases the excretion of cholesterol, by reducing the reabsorption of the cholesterol in bile. The liver produces cholesterol for bile, whic…

1g/lb is in fact a popular target among bodybuilders. Much research indicates 0.5 to 0.7 g/lb provides most of the benefits, with continuing but diminishing gains above 0.7 g/lb. A…

It's not just attention to detail. They seem to have abandoned some core design principles like visibility/discoverability.

Re: "99% of the time" ... this is an ambiguous sample space. Soundness of results clearly depends on the questions being asked. For what set of questions does the 99% guarantee hol…

Consider this analogy: Instead of using a root command shell, it is wise to use an account with appropriately restricted capabilities, to limit the downsides of mistakes. Cloud ser…

Ironic. Isn't Nature the worst offender?

Oscullation/"anticipation" in transitions is so gimmicky and cartoonish. Living things don't move like that, and mechanical things don't unless they are broken, chintzy, or poorly …

"Scientists reveal a previously unidentified term for a widely known phenomenon"

What does this impact? 90% of sites on the internet? Just a couple of low-traffic sites?
