It's often an issue with how to and DIY videos. A big offender is Howcast. They have good search results because of their early presence on the platform but a lot of their videos are low quality by modern standards and…

>but isn't it irresponsible to not even ask oneself why financial markets are regulated in the first place? That's an entirely political question that has nothing to do with efficacy of a financial system or…
You are talking about a barrier to entry (in the sense that it used to be easier) for a person who is new to general purpose computing to get on boarded while the person you are replying to is talking about the…
Mackay's account of inexplicable mania was unchallenged, and mostly unexamined, until the 1980s.[51] Research into tulip mania since then, especially by proponents of the efficient-market hypothesis,[17] suggests that…
Understood but Nvidia is justifying the changes by saying "we’re taking an important step to help ensure GeForce GPUs end up in the hands of gamers."
Nvidia should partner with Steam. Steam has enough meta-data on user accounts to be able to offer a level of certainty about how accurate and authentic a given account and it's user information is. You could then use a…
That doesn't jive on a historical basis when and where enlightenment era thinking and classical liberalism were much higher then they are today. Unless I am misreading your comment and you are simply talking about…
Land use (especially in regards public access property) and homelessness go hand in hand. Most people don't care if someone can check off a box that says they have a home address, they care what people are doing in…
Maybe trying to maintain a free beer web browser is not the best path forward (given all the requirements for a web browser in 2021). Perhaps the best solution is a paid application with an either free or proprietary…
>No one wants to live in a tent under the bridge when it is rainy and cold. Not to deride from the rest of your comment which I thought was solid commentary but this particular line is not true. Yes it is true the over…
The author doesn't make a good case for "The main value of a software company is the mapping of source code and problem space in the developer’s heads" being a universal truth. There are some problem domains and…
SO suffers from it's own version of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers
I am wrong. For me using a dependency that can't be bothered to create proper documentation or uses SO as customer support is a non-starter.
None. Most of the content on Stack Overflow is just people repeating what they heard from a more authoritative source looking for some internet points. (and often when it gets repeated it loses accuracy, context, and a…
In my studies in college we did not do anything with the Windows API (or any other OS for that matter). While I can appreciate the concept of basically just using standard libraries to teach CS fundamentals in theory,…
People who anthropomorphize the Earth and make strong ethical decisions about it are interesting characters. The more I study natural sciences the less I see Earth as metaphor for anything else. I guess that mindset…
I believe that claims of video game over choice and video game saturation are largely a myth. The reality of the situation is that players are faced with a large library of just okay games and few titles that actually…
Why is it unbelievable ? The business model involves not charging enough for the console and some big titles to lure in customers and then later capturing profit from things like DLC and peripherals. It was quite common…
I disagree. Take Youtube as an example. A ton of mental overhead: videos padded for time, clickbait titles and thumbnails, in video promotions, reminder to check their patreon, reminder to like and subscribe,…
Your putting words in my mouth. I never suggested that the description was the problematic part. A person can bring up tons of factual things that just stir the political and emotional pot (current events, anniversary…
This whole situation is a great example of why you should avoid politics / politically charged statements in the workplace all around. No one's mind about anything was fundamentally changed. People got upset and…
Comparing Bitcoin to a credit card payment isn't really a fair comparison. (Since if people really like the credit card model so much you can build credit card like things on top of the Bitcoin network) A more apt…
Lots of Bitcoin critics really struggle with the subjective theory of value (which is also the basis of Marginalism and modern mainstream economics). Nobody believes in stuff like labor or intrinsic values outside of a…
No one is putting the proverbial gun to academic researchers heads to use these publishers.
