That’s a complete non sequitur. Everything we learn changes the way we view the world. You cannot make version control software without a data model that needs to be learned. Git’s model is very easy to visualize.

What a time to be alive. We pulled that exact thing out on a school trip, and two of my classmates were so affected they literally collapsed. Placebo is kinda crazy. The entire thing doesn’t actually work, of course, but that scene did make me doubt, a tiny bit.

Give up, and go to old.reddit.com, which is ugly and not designed for mobile, but at least works okay.

Wait, are you kidding? I thought you were talking about using it on desktop. New reddit is literally unusable on mobile. This is what it looks like for me (https://imgur.com/a/pa07d2c). New reddit isn’t just unusable, it is literally nonfunctional. I can only imagine it’s been deliberately destroyed to drive people away from the web over to the app. They do something similar with links. All links from new reddit have their underscores "escaped" with \. Basically they corrupt the URL. If you’re on old reddit, you get these bad links and have to fix them yourself, but new reddit does it for you, of course.

That’s not a problem, that’s a solution to a proposed problem that might not even be a problem.

Have had colleagues who were required to not work for their resignation period (3 months). "Professional quarantine," since they were going to competitors.

Perhaps, but imagine no need for surgery, no need for anesthesia, all wounds, illnesses and ailments fixed simply by switching the damaged part, or switching bodies entirely.

You can only feel sunshine and grass because your brain interprets sensory signals from your body. It’s easy to imagine a world where your cyborg body can deliver those same signals. If the sensation is the same, why would you _not_ exhchange your fragile meat sack of a body with a far more versatile mechanical one?

Radagast fits the druid archetype more than the wizard archetype nowadays. Gandalf is a unique case in my head. He’s more of a battlemage, the way I see it, if you ignore that he’s basically an angel.

You’re reading that wrong. Of course you burn more calories through exercise. Michael Phelps couldn’t have eaten 12k cals a day if exercise didn’t burn calories.

Increasing the energy prices isn’t a solution. It’d affect to poor disproportionally, while also being greatly destabilizing for society at large. It’s basically a flat tax for heating your home.

Norway recently experienced its highest energy prices ever, in large part because of tighter coupling with the European market. Some people got bills 10x of previous years. Using less energy simply isn’t an option here, otherwise you freeze to death, or damage your home. It led to a massive political outcry that was easily exploitable by populists.

You can’t go back on decades of energy policy in that short a time frame, and you can’t do it without easing the tax burden somewhere else. The current government in Norway is polling extremely low. So low they probably won’t recover by the next election in 3 years. And they didn’t even cause the spike in energy prices here. I dread to imagine what would happen if a government intentionally hiked the enrgy prices just to stop bitcoin miners…

So is the set of all positive integers, but there is no unknown number in there, even though we haven’t seen them all.

I shouldn’t need a 4k monitor to watch at a better quality than 720p. The only reason I use Edge these days is because that idiotic (and purposeful) limitation isn’t present there (for some reason).

Who told you that you can only compare things of equal severity? That would maje comparisons largely useless.

Free speech is the concept, the human right. The first amendment is the government’s pinky promise to not violate that right. Swearsies. Unless you say something they’d rather be secret, of course.

It’s kinda funny that people are so afraid of burying a small amount of radioactive material, but are perfectly happy with dumping all the waste from fossil fuels in the air we breathe and the atmosphere we depend on to survive.

The least believable part of that complaint is that you and your SO go on _walks_ that are more than 8 hours long.

There’s already a Donald Duck story like that. Some guy comes to Duckville, and Gladstone Gander is completely terrified of him because.

Sure it does. I’m defaulting to old reddit without old in the url while browsing on mobile.

I really hate this, too. iOS Firefox is the only browser that has auto-complete on URLs that I find usable, but it's an unstable piece of shit.

Not on every piece of clothing you sell.

Gotta wash on 60 sometimes too, though. Otherwise your t-shirts are going to become subtly smelly over time.

Add the additional pay for a total comp of more than 80k. Might be out of the norm for L4, but that's what I was offered.

Amazon Berlin has >€80k for entry level roles.

I didn’t know my father’s suicide and my subsequent depression was caused by governments, politicians, or general existence in the modern capitalist world. Thanks for giving me this deep insight.

Socialists and leftwards want to end capitalism. There’s a large spectrum of leftists that don’t want that, ie. social democracy.

Pretty sure that was a moderator action. If it was /r/games, the mods there don’t seem too interested in informing you when they action your comments or posts. They very very often remove comments because of the «no off-topic discussion» rule, even if it’s literally just one off-topic sentence in a paragraph long comment.

Good thing there are multi-billion private companies out there that can pick up the slack and punish the real criminals.

and may well be that hierarchy requires corruption.

Literally 20 seconds of reflection is enough to see how wrong that is...

It’s not really all that good at taking in new inputs, at least if our brains are anything like other mammals. There have been experiments where animals have certain senses depraved (eye sewn shut, for example) early in life, and then opened after their brain had fonished developing. Their brains never «learned» to take in the new sensory signals afterwards. At least not to the extent of a regular individual with all their senses since birth.

It’s pretty funny to point out racial tension in the US when discussing China, considering sinicization is clearly one of China’s overarching goals.
