Very good point. Not everyone has the same degree of self preservation instinct.

If your situation is 100% totally hopeless, it's probably preferable to most people to take the clean shot than to try to escape and have a potentially much worse death.

My ex girlfriend was a doctor and we talked about this once. The gist of it that I got was that excessive early tests have a lot of risk factors that come along with them, because …

I don't think efficiency of navigating your IDE is a major factor in your productivity. If you like your setup, it's probably not going to matter a whole lot. The tool you make mon…

That's awesome. I set up Arch Linux a while ago, and despite working in Linux shops for more than a decade, let's just say I was very out of my element...

I would argue that they need heavy human oversight

Can you describe the cultural gap? I haven't really met these folks in the wild, so I'm curious what the programmers of yore were like.

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure Jesus is not controlling my addiction, either.

It seems strange that one of the steps is admitting you have no control over your addiction. I feel like the first step should be deciding that you do. But that kind of self assure…

Yep that was a deal-breaker for me going to AA. I eventually just quit drinking on my own after a few years, but AA being the only option for addiction support groups in many place…

Reading 80k tokens requires more than 80k tokens due to overhead

It's just another tech hype wave. Reality will be somewhere between total doom and boundless utopia. But probably neither of those. The AI thing kind of reminds me of the big push …

If you've seen many such videos, certainly you can produce one where the officer refused to identify themselves, right?

Do you have evidence of federal law enforcement officers refusing to identify themselves when making an arrest?

Consider yourself lucky that you've never had to call the cops as a victim. People forget that cops also save lives.

I genuinely cannot wrap my head around spending this much money on hardware that is dramatically inferior to hardware that costs half the price. MacOS is not even great anymore, th…

The productivity gains decrease with user experience. A high-performing senior engineer won't get a lot, but I think they've reached a point now where even seniors will benefit a f…

Wait 'til you see the bill.
