"Oreo cookies are the tastiest cookies currently in the market!" ~ Oreo cookie company.

That quote reminds me a bit of the Non-violent Communication book.

There is a puzzle piece missing from this article and others like it, which I think is crucial but often overlooked. It's not enough to "vote with your wallet", you also need to ma…

This confirms to me it was indeed originally intended as a buzzword then. :D Nothing like establishing a new buzzword in a field to get them citations rolling.

"Choreographic programming"? Are we just straight up inventing buzzwords now? Hey guess what, I'm more into symphonic opus programming, none of that backyard dance-club programming…

They're not saying your manual copy/pasting from a browser window onto your clipboard shouldn't be possible; they're saying the browser itself shouldn't allow this functionality to…

I take it SoC does not stand for summer of code in this context?

I'm not disagreeing with what you say here, but I think we're arguing about subtly different things. E.g. you'll note my zebra example was not about whether one should additionally…

While this is true as a platitude, I do find that medical colleagues seem to treat this platitude rather overzealously at times, often completely disregarding the posterior probabi…

Indeed, I didn't mean to imply that all doctors possess that skill in great amounts (or that, in any case, circumstances allow for full utilisation of the skill even if they do) or…

Both the article and some of the discussions here share a lot of commonalities with doctors taking a medical history. There is a certain skill in guiding the conversation towards u…

I see. That's good to know, though you could have led with that! I was mostly calling you out because it seemed you were misrepresenting the article's argument, whereas you now see…

Read it again. These aren't books that were bought in bulk bt bookstores. They're rare books that are bought in bulk for scanning. The analogy is imagine someone buying near-extinc…

I often ask it to aim for a Flesch-Kincaid Readibility Ease Score of around 50, with good results. ELI5 is good too where appropriate. I'll add ASD-STE100 to my list of decorposlop…

Shouldn't it be the reverse? The vote of people who earn less (and are therefore more disadvantaged in society and rely on fair laws the most) should count more. Tax and "money pai…

I think what the author is trying to say is that the turboencabulator's vertex manifold buckler dimensional engine leverages bifrontal synergies spanning several plasmic thresholds…

ahem, TempleOS generally tends to be considered a marvel of one-man engineering, not a cooky project. Despite Terry Davies' illness.

separating em dashes (or preferably en dashes) with spaces is british style; no space is US style.

> Open Source is a global effort, but current political situation makes collaboration hard and trust difficult to earn. Especially when development is not transparent and open. I f…

Thank you for the correction!

I'm not necessarily arguing it was a form of suicide (or blaming the victim, as it were). I'm arguing that the impetus to prolong life is generally a very strong and biologically i…

It was widely known that doctors are at a considerably increased risk when I was studying medicine, enough to warn us and have professional wellbeing modules in the curriculum. Plu…

Just ask it to aim for a Flesh-Kincaid ease-of-readability score of around 70. Or use ELI5 style. Or both.
