What do you propose as the alternative? Whuffie?

This made me give up on league pass. How hard is it for them to just provide every single game for one price? It's insane. It's honestly a big reason I don't follow NBA any more.

no, i simply have a job that requires me to be good at it. tenths of a millisecond matter. every bit in a structure is carefully considered.

Makes sense. Sounds like HFT or embedded/RTOS stuff? I don't know for sure, but I have to imagine coding agents aren't terribly helpful in those domains.

Do you think this is a useful comment?

The archetype of "Coding Machine" for senior staff engineers at FB was created because of this guy: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-coding-machin...

I have one of these types on my team and the level of productivity is shocking.

I just read that book and I can't believe it's not more well-known in tech circles

>Roughly 30% of children given paternity tests or even those who use ancestry services discover their assumed fathers... aren't.

Not true in modern contexts. Misattribution of paternity is much closer to 1-2%: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34288189/, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237633127_How_Well_...

The 30% figure comes from men who already doubt paternity...obviously some strong selection effects there.

In addition, there are very strong cohort effects for divorce. For example, if you have a bachelors the divorce rate is more like 25%.

Criterion Channel and Kanopy are very good (not perfect) for international films.

This is one of the absolute dumbest things I have ever read. People want their problems solved without waiting months for an appointment and spending an insane amount of money, case closed. The fact that this market exists is an indictment of the current system.

The paternalism of medicine is infuriating. Doctors have been, for the most part, annoying gatekeepers of medication I already know I want or need. Way more medications should be over the counter.

I'm 34. In highschool I read long, difficult literary fiction for fun. Now I can just about manage good genre fiction (think something like Iain Bank's Culture series) if I put my mind to it and take breaks to look at my phone.

I wonder if I'll ever be able to fix my attention span.

It’s a practice thing. Start leaving your phone at home for short trips and get used to being a little bored again. I promise you if there’s an emergency, there are 500 cell phones within a hundred yards.
