    Oh sweet, they welcome non-Jewish strangers too? I didn’t know that, I assumed it was just for their own community

    v.s. politicking forever, enslaving grad students and making only a passable salary? Not to mention being incentivized to lie, cheat and steal when publishing in order to maintain …

    I followed very loosely and still got it. Very cool, the kind of math that gets close to feeling like "real life". I was really hoping that your mentions of "solving it by hand" an…

    Any other devs thinking about how much pain DST caused them and how we now have to go through the equal pain of unfixing DST? For the record, I support this legislation, but here’s…

    I need a trackball in my life. I am a glove80 user and love the keyboard but god damn do I tire of moving to my ball mouse when I need to. All of the pointer/trackball mods for the…

    I’ve never felt this way and generally avoid partisan media. Can you give an example?

    This is news to me and interesting re: nitrogen crisis. That said, isn’t construction a very minor contributor relative to the agricultural nitrogen impact? Like, taken to an extre…

    I got severely downvoted in the past for badmouthing GLP1s here. Then I did my research, got on them and I take it all back. These things are on par with statins in terms of potent…

    A beautiful analogy for non-technical founders creating software products with AI. There are version control systems, but who needs them when you can name your pdf `n-final-updated…

    Cursory googling led to a bunch of commercial sites calling it reef safe and they mostly reference this article: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-97-3195-4 I’m not pa…

    I do like the implied moral superiority. “Price per objectively bad guy or gal” or PPOBGOG is being workshopped now.
