On this bridge you're always going to have someone occupying open space, but you can still maintain 5 seconds of visible leading distance. Alas, a lot of drivers on this stretch of…

Torque clockwise to lean more toward the left. Torque counter-clockwise to lean more toward the right. The bike follows a radius proportional to its lean angle.

If you're a 10X slacker you can default to 6%.

In my own case, having a single toddler is about a 20% increase in expenses, and that's not even accounting for saving for college, or how much it would cost if we wanted more spac…

$15K/month of income only goes so far, that's the point of the article. The math without a child isn't so bad. Take out $5K for taxes, $3K for rent, $3K for food/utilities/car/etc.…

This is no longer the case. Now you instantiate a go module wherever you want by running “go mod init” (which just produces a trivial text file). Each module’s dependencies are now…

In my codebase at work there are a few cases where code is (poorly duplicated) that would benefit from a proper generic solution. But I don’t expect go2 to significantly reduce our…

Go makes arbitrarily large codebases feasible. I find Python to be exponentially more painful as codebase size increases. For personal projects this is fine, but for industrial use…

Optimization is only premature if the tradeoff between complication and outcome isn't worth it.

I don't know about you, but I push to main far more often than I refer to my degree.

It's not about erasing history. It's about the ongoing impact of blatantly referencing the notion of enslaving people.

I'm not sure you're arguing in good faith. I suggested no such thing about pedophilia, and numerous articles about research into the cycle of poverty and crime are trivial to look …

Much of crime is driven by poverty. If the consequence of poverty-driven crime is more poverty, then this negative feedback loop turns society into an incarceral state. This is the…

Their point was that the presence of wealth outside of the US is not an indicator of more "correct" economic policy.

The most significant reason why (manufacturing) jobs no longer exist in the US is our exorbitant privilege of being the global reserve currency. It has nothing to do with labor law…

I think you are saying that they are right, but also very, very wrong?

The decade of operating losses is also due to sabotage by a Republican Congress under a Republican President: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Accountability_and_Enha...

What good is a remote learning platform when a significant portion of households lack sufficient equipment and broadband to access it?

There are mainstream languages with decidable static type systems. They compile quickly and give obvious short error messages.

Sure, you don't have to go out of your way to challenge your type system, but it still means that you're a single typo away from sending your compiler and yourself on a wild goose …

Probably $27k of income per month with $29k of expenses, implying a $1.2M loan due in a few years? Just speculating.

If you're poor and you live in the South (and certain other states), you can NOT get Medicaid. Unfortunately this decision was left up to each state. And even in states where you m…

I would prefer fewer keys if I were building my first keyboard.

We can only hope.
