In Iceland, books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents. Then you spend the rest of the night in bed reading them and eating chocolate. Sounds perfect to me.

i’ll never understand why public transit haters discourage use of public transit and want to defund it. if less people use cars the roads will have less traffic and you’ll get to where you want faster with your own car. stupid people

It’s baffling to me how many people whose careers came up in the era of loss-leading hyper growth services that stopped being “cheap” post-IPO seem to think that the LLM industry using the same playbook are angling for a different outcome. Why? Why would you ever think that?

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

one of my most oddball views as an engineer prof is that it's okay to think that the way people build or use a technology is bad, even if the details of the tech are pretty cool, and it's also okay (good, even!) to opt out of using or contributing to harmful tech
weirdly contentious view 🤷♂️

As someone who lives in NYC, it's totally fine if you're slow as long as you leave room to pass you.

It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.

#GameDev protip: if you're making a game with a limited amount of inventory space for the love of god do yourself a favor and make an AddOrDrop method for it right from the start so you never have to worry about the edge case of "what if (all of) the item doesn't fit in the inventory"

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

I’m not really a big fan of the whole “kind vs. nice” debate. I believe that a lot of the time we can be both.
But if it ever comes down to choosing, or if doing extra just isn’t worth it in the moment, I’m always going to vote for kindness.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend
