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.

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.

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

Are you claiming the researchers are bought off by billionaires or something? Are you making some testable claim here or just generally being conspiratorial?

>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.
