Between this and the C.Ronaldo decision, I wonder if we're headed toward a future change to the automatic red card suspension. Part of what makes a red seem extreme for certain fouls is the automatic suspension. The…
A tool that encourages bad behavior at scale is a bad tool. Blaming individuals for a collective problem leads to no improvements.
Bit of a double-edged sword, that. Worker-owned businesses are great, but if you instead make workers minority shareholders, you get... the modern retirement system, and inflated asset prices that benefit the…
This isn't just about residential rent. Commercial rent squeezes businesses, forcing wages downward and prices upward.
Turning inefficient, unreadable code into efficient, readable code often results in an overall reduction in LoC. High-quality code and high-volume code are highly anti-correlated. Incidentally, low-quality code that is…
Mental health is health. Negative mental health impacts are particularly significant when your job is to perform mental labor. It's not defiance, it's reality: if you drag down my motivation, that's going to drag down…
This really hit home for me: In some cases, workers are also being asked to automate the parts of their jobs they enjoy most, Hinds said on the podcast, pointing to customer-service employees who enjoy building…
Every time I review a new PR to my codebase, I go "oh shit, these unit tests are garbage, they've clearly been vibecoded" and tell the contributor to rewrite the unit tests so they do more than just game the coverage…
For the initial position, he has a case. Then he kept playing a market that was already fully decided, when the only step left was to resolve the outcome. I believe the relevant adage here is "You can't cheat an honest…
If your only motive is profit, then the cruelest actions are the most efficient, because you don't have to compete with people interested in morality. It sucks.
They seem to be converging toward an asymptotic accuracy level that is not particularly close to 100%. That is not good enough when you're trying to instruct engineers, particularly junior ones.
The ticket has subtle errors in its description that are only caught by someone experienced with the codebase. The code hides an exception behind an if-then-else that defaults to the most common state, which isn't…
Thus replacing the work of the upper classes.
"Lawful" as determined by the party executing the action is very different from actually lawful. The courts can intervene later, but they can't un-bomb a hospital. This is setting aside the obvious problem where…
I've used a K4 for 6 years now and love it. The only thing is that I had to swap out the arrow keys for textured ones, which allows me to reach for them blindly and keeps me from losing my location when using them. It's…
It's honestly one of his worst videos, but Jon Bois has quite thoroughly documented how many mattresses they tried to sell him as a result of him buying a mattress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n36R8xlhe1U
Any dataset involving police actions will show high concentrations in poor areas because that's where police patrol the most and where they're most likely to crack down on behaviors that might be allowed to slide…
That's also what NFT hypebros said.
Ah, the eternal handwave for anything the AI doesn't do well - it must be user error.
Bubbles don't pop overnight. In the aftermath of any collapse, you can generally see a pretty clear pattern of red flags (and attempts to minimize them or cover them up). Some parties notice earlier than others, but the…
104.3a A player can concede the game at any time.
Most professional stadiums display the pitch speed, albeit usually on one of the auxiliary boards rather than the main video board. Thanks to enhanced pitch tracking in the last few years, they can now display even more…
Paywalls can have the opposite of the effect you want. Implemented incautiously, they can fail to disincentivize parties who can make profit in excess of the cost, and it can succeed at disincentivizing genuine,…
The evidence that this controller was overworked is that practically all controllers in the US at present are overworked. As such, that should be treated as the null hypothesis, and it would require substantial evidence…
It's not unusual for airports to reduce staff at night, and the incident occurred at 23:36 local time. Even at a very large airport in a very busy traffic area, one controller can probably handle normal operations at…
