My impression is that the US is more vulnerable to climate change than Europe. While Europe has heat waves, the US has a hurricane problem that simply does not exist in Europe, whi…

Or when they get sick, or hurt, or...

Could you break it down for someone who isnt in the know?

You might not fully grasp what Grindr is all about...

I try to stay humble when predicting the future. But there is just no way there will be a literal military invasion. Trump would never risk a bunch of american dying on the ground,…

Maybe they just want access to the specific companies? Like, you get hired by the company. You hand over username/password/vpn-info to them. Then they have a way inside the company…

I added the custom instruction "Please go straight to the point, be less chatty". Now it begins every answer with: "Straight to the point, no fluff:" or something similar. It seems…

What, you think the article was written by AI? Why?

I've coded on linux for a decade now, but always used windows at home. Just last week I switched from windows 10 to ubuntu on my media computer since it cant upgrade to windows 11.…

Agree. People who join a project and insist on changing the default styling configs are insane weirdos. But people who dont want to use any styling solution on a project with sever…

> Most programming should be done long before a single line of code is written I'd rephrase this to something like: Most programming should be done before 5% of the code is written…

I work at a swedish bank. We spend very much time and effort to prepare for different situations such as that. Some preparation is required by the EU Dora act: https://www.digital-…

I'm pretty sure its a joke. It's based on the thinking that "the government" is trying to remove all our pleasure of life, such as smoking, eating meat and drinking. The joke is to…

I think it is interesting that a majority of the changes happened between the 50s and the 70s. I guess it might be attributed to post-war optimism and the golden age of capitalism …

The article mentions a few points that I consider more likely explanations: 1. Being autistic makes you not consider what is "normal" as important. 2. Autistic people are more like…

VSCode has a really great neovim-plugin that I'm currently using. Best of both worlds: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=asvetlia...

Swede here. We fear a chinese hegemony as well.

I love this argument. "Can you define EXACTLY what you want to ban"? I'd say a significant part of all criminalized activities can't be EXACTLY defined. Somehow we still manage.

I think it helps to look at it from another perspective: We are seeing a trend of certain health problems that are related to what we eat. We notice that a certain type of food is …

In the book "Masters of doom", at least during the doom era, Carmack seemed like a really bad collegue. Very, very demanding and complete lack of social tact. The book gave the imp…

I have a somewhat unrealistic dream that someday dating apps will be viewed the same way as roads: Essential infrastructure that needs to be handled by the public. A government dev…

I can appreciate a book being obscure or dragging things out when it is trying to give the reader an aesthetic experience. But this point seem to be one that would easiest be commu…

In your experience, how common is this? I must know at least thirty people that have meditated for over 15 years, and none have mentioned open-eyed hallucinations.

I would guess it's just like a very complex dam bursting. Nothing intended, just side effects of very complex systems no longer functioning properly.

I guess you mean to say that we will go back to centralization since nothing decentralized can be trusted, with how easy it will become to fake facts. But that's assuming that the …
