Nothing automatically makes someone a good role model obviously, but going through a program like Judo teaches you a lot of things like being humble.

I’d actually contrast that to supposedly softer martial arts like aikido where you don’t actually train with resistance and therefore don’t get that humbling effect that I was talking about.

This is a social problem, so the solution is to look at what successful people do and copy that.

This is how the pick up artist community started. Be careful what you wish for.

I just don’t really think something as simple as taking judo classes is really going to do much to tackle a problem that likely started at the socioeconomic scale.

I think a role model of positive masculinity is a good place to start.

Tell me you’ve never been to a judo class without telling me you’ve never been to a judo class.

Games have been surprisingly inflation resistant. I paid $70 for Playstation games in the 90s.

Are insurance companies not on the hook for the properties they insure?

OK. I assure you, the insurance industry will continue to track it.

This is the same logic as “if we stop testing, the disease goes away”

We’re using it for closing security flaws identified by another tool. It’s boring, unchallenging work that is nonetheless still important. It’s also repetitive and uncreative enough that I’m comfortable having a machine do it.

There’s still human review but when it’s stuff like “your error messages should escape variables” or “write a longer function name” having a tool that can do most of the grunt work is valuable.

I wouldn’t call it a hazard, but don’t plan on doing anything important for the rest of the day.

I’ve been having the same problem. I’d love a drm free e-reader, but even if I found one finding drm free content is not easy.

I’m just buying analog books now. Less convenient in some ways, but at least I know what I’m getting.

It would be like a construction company replacing a team of carpenters with some people who took a weekend woodworking course.

It takes a special kind of clueless to think they would be remotely equivalent.

And you’ll often just be opted back in the next time there’s an update.
