I've also filled out insurance quote forms several times to see the interplay of the questions and price. Quite often many of the questions do not change the quote. So the existence of the question in a form does not imply a change in price, or any true guess at the magnitude of the change at all.

At least at places I've worked, terminating the logger would cause a security incident, and the central logging service have some general heuristics that should trigger a review if a log is filled with junk. Of course with enough time and root, there's ways to avoid that. But that's also usually why those with root are limited to a small subset of users, and assuming root usually requires a reason and is time gated.

I mean, if we were to apply the equivalent from the article, then no they would not have had a reason nor been time gated.


While I ostensibly agree about learning how to deal constructively with opposing perspectives, I also don't think online discourse (main stream avenues) will ever be the place to learn or partake in those sorts of conversations. Even in smaller subreddits, your comments will be viewed by thousands of people, some of whom are explicitly there to troll or to argue in bad faith or even people literally having mental breakdowns. You also end up in situations where every reply is to a new person, so you're not really having a discourse with anyone just an amorphous entity. Look at things like "Godwin's law" or "Poe's law", for some long running beliefs/commentary on internet discourse.


Actually, there are some studies that show a anti-depressive effect from exposure to heat/fever like conditions. These are just two from a rudimentary Google search to check if I was remembering correctly. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6519523/ https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine-archive/node/2080


For the restaurants mentioned in the article, I fully agree. Especially because you're not losing much quality. A pizza hut pizza will be just as bad at a pizza hut as it will be 15 minutes later at home or in a park. The same goes for the mostly deep fried or microwaved food at Applebee's or a Wing Joint.

But I will still opt to eat in at nicer establishments, where I'm paying for quality and don't want to suffer any lose of it. A nice plus is they usually have a nice atmosphere and a selection of cocktails/cocktails that I wouldn't make at home.


Of course it varies by person, but they generally take small naps with the goal being that the nap is short enough the boat doesn't travel "past the horizon" or in other words past where they could see when they were at the helm. That's speed dependent, but I've seen them say 20-40 minutes naps. Further, there are systems like AIS (automatic identification system) that broadcast your ___location that depending on the area most boats above a certain length will have on, so your receiver can be set to alarm if a beacon comes within a certain distance. You can also set up a radar system to alarm if it detects anything in your path in a certain distance, those are notoriously unreliable though. Plus you have a VHF radio that can be set to scan and someone might hail you in time to stop a collision. With those on, people who are willing to accept more risk will sometimes take longer sleeps and just risk it, especially in less congested waters. That channel in particular recently had a comment about accidentally sleeping through their alarm and going for several hours unattended.

But solo sailing longer passages is inherently a dangerous proposition.


Not to be flippant, that sounds like working at a lot of big tech companies nowadays. More conceptually, you have the constant churn of in house tooling meaning what you wrote last year needs to be rewritten to work with the new version of X (be it the ticketing system or the new process to store secrets or the new frontend framework that will fix everything). And even more concretely, there are teams that will fully get sunset when a new product or service deprecates them or beats them to market. Famously, that was how the iPhone was developed, with teams competing internally in Apple. https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/28/iphone-creation-click-wheel-t...


I'm extremely skeptical for the value in this. I've already seen wasted hours responding to baseless claims that are lent credence by AI "reviews" of open source codebases. The claims would have happened before but these text generators know how to hallucinate in the correct verbiage to convince lay people and amateurs and are more annoying to deal with.


I'm not sure if you're just making a play on words, but I believe the commenter was talking about the streamer who sets up their fishtank to map to inputs and then let's their fish "play games". They beat pokemon sapphire supposedly. https://www.polygon.com/2020/11/9/21556590/fish-pokemon-sapp...


Not just that, unless you are eating them blindfolded or using food dye or in a more complex dish, a preference was shown to exist for pasture raised eggs. Visual stimuli is still part of the eating process and influences taste, it should not be ignored.
