I get why it's hard not to empathize with him, but you shouldn't. He's making serious bank doing awful things. If you haven't, you should take a look at his house sometime.

Defining the terms would be helpful. I don't know what most of those terms mean.

Big O is a useful tool, but it doesn't directly translate to performance. Understanding how systems work is a lot more useful and important if you really care about optimization and performance.

This is something I learned pretty early on as a professional developer. I got a computer science degree and was taught data structures, algorithms, and big O. In my first job, I came across a small piece of Java code that was being run a lot that had a small list being searched each time. I figured converting to a HashSet would be faster, but in testing it was actually slower. I forget the exact details, but I learned to test my assumptions about performance and not to just blindly change things.

My degree, for the most part, did not prepare me for working with large, interconnected systems. The only course that came close was an elective called "concurrent programming" which was really just "algorithms, but parallel".

It's very simple. Catering to the right wing nut jobs brings a lot of attention, which for someone like Greenwald, means money. Especially for a former "lefty". It's a naked grift.

It's an easy, successful grift. Look at someone similar like Dave "why I left the left" Rubin. He's not half as smart nor is he half as talented as Greenwald, and yet even he can pull it off. It does have pitfalls, though. Rubin has been struggling since he and his husband had those two children via surrogacy.

The way people casually espouse eugenics is disturbing. I blame Idiocracy.

The ones I watch have definitely helped me be a better cook. At the very least they have inspired me to try new recipes and experiment.

For Gloomhaven, I had to put it away after each session because cats.

Since then, I've moved and I now have a dedicated board game room that cats are not allowed in. So Frosthaven gets to stay out. It's very nice.

They are the party of "every allegation is an admission".

The hardware isn't super important if you can get a Google Coral TPU. You can run Frigate on a Raspberry Pi that way. Without the TPU, it can be fairly CPU intensive.

I run Frigate on an old laptop and before the TPU it would run really hot. After it runs much cooler.

Never seen any of these movies, but the ads I've been seeing online make it look terrible. Like in the ads, any time Denzel is being an action hero, it reminds me of lazy Steven Seagal. And the rest is just people sitting down and talking to each other trying to look edgy.

I was honestly wondering why s picture of a real doll was in my feed.

This is something most don't understand. These exceptions aren't exceptions. They're attention diverting placations that have no material effect. "See, we're not so bad! We allow for these exceptions!"
