If you have an instance (which is what I assume is implied by "real-life data structure") bounded by a particular size, then you could say that the runtime complexity is constant with respect to that bound. Whether that…
For a lot of people, I think religion provides this basis or promise of harmony with the world, in a simplified way that stipulates what you should or shouldn't do and how things work, and those people find comfort in…
I don't think it's one or the other. You need to spend some time in the cave to find your bearings and prepare a bit, otherwise you'll be clueless and have skill issues. The mistake is in spending forever doing that -…
That might explain my naivety here, I've never really gotten into using tablets for anything.
Well, the way I use a device with a monitor is a different kind of UX though. Usually it involves a keyboard and mouse, not a touch screen, and I can do certain things better through that kind of input. For that reason…
Also fan of the smaller phones. I dug up my Samsung Galaxy Ace from many years ago, and was so surprised at how tiny it was, with a replaceable battery as well! My hope is that Unihertz ends up making a phone that I…
The crease makes it look cheap and fragile, like with many of the foldable phones. I'm curious what people need the huge screens for on phones? Is it mostly for watching videos?
It does not read like a compliment to me. What the person seems to be saying in a rather patronizing and opaque manner is that building a game engine gives you an excuse to avoid building a game, thus framing it as an…
I've seen plenty of evidence that goes against this. From what I have seen, short women will absolutely prefer a man who is taller than other men, regardless of their own height, so something does not add up. In fact,…
Could be, depends on the woman and what she values. Celebrities are usually in a league of their own. The way you have to see it, is that women look for a certificate of potential for success (and many other things, but…
How do you know whether that's not just you growing as a person? A few decades is quite a long time, a lot of personal growth could happen in that time with or without this practice.
Thanks, I indeed meant existential crises, but it didn't hit me while I was writing.
It's a nice post, with a lot of valuable insights. There is one that I disagree with though: "Never abandon the root node". There are plenty of instances that show that in reality this is not what happens, and in fact…
I believe that this is the case where the "self" needs some more work, as in it is not well-adapted enough to its total environment yet. This can be due to a myriad of reasons, neurodivergence or other neurological…
You are still not being yourself though, if you have to suppress the tendency to call someone a dipshit idiot. It is arguable whether the "self" in that case needs some work or not, but the idea about "being yourself"…
That is right. The hierarchical nature of this setting makes it impossible to be fully open, unless you truly are the most uninteresting person on the planet. If not, open and indiscriminate sharing is going to be a…
This is indeed an important angle to consider as well. I think there is some nuance though, but it's hard to articulate. I think that is because there are some long term effects that are currently invisible, but that…
It's a very interesting phenomenon. It's often said that famous stars become delusional exactly because they are surrounded by yes-men who are too afraid of rocking the boat and of losing their relationship with the…
If that 30% of visitors with incompatible browsers has no overlap with the target audience you wish to reach, then what does it matter for your business? Of course, you do not know this exactly, but the point is that…
Very sad news, RIP. Particularly enjoyed his work for Duke Nukem 3D, you could easily tell the difference between the tracks made by Bobby and the ones made by Lee Jackson, Bobby's tracks were a bit darker and more…
They're the same no? If I see exchange value in something, that is its use value to me: to exchange it for other things that I deem valuable.
I was hesitant to elaborate there, because the relationship between effort and value is quite complex. For instance, you can put a lot of effort into something, without creating any value for yourself or for others. But…
These kinds of principles are sensible at their core, and I am a big proponent of the mindset, but the main problem as a sibling comment pointed out in a way is that this assumes that everyone is striving for an honest…
Yes, this is my experience for muscle at least. I used to work out 3-4 times a week, maybe a little more sometimes. Lately due to circumstances, I've been doing smaller workouts about 1-2 times a week. I've lost some…
Money is how you test whether someone is currently in privileged circumstances (be it their own doing or not), not whether they are good at argumentation or decision-making.
