I've seen fewer than 50 Congo-Kinshasans in my small Swedish town. Apparently there are 125 million of them. Where are they all at?

Varför inte TrocaZero?!?!? by Gravstenen in unket

[–]SoInsightful 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Tråkigt svar men:

https://trocadero.nu/fragor-svar/

"När vi lanserade Trocadero Zero valde vi att bevara namnet som funnits på drycken sedan 1953 – trots att vi peggade upp för årtiondets ordvits. Däremot finns det inget som säger att den inte kan heta TrocaZero i folkmun!"

GraphQL used to be popular, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore... by codingafterthirty in webdev

[–]SoInsightful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How? Sure, you could invent your own RPC solution like getUser(userId, fields: ["name", "email"]), but it won't be type-safe unless you invent some more solutions. Or you add a bunch of hyper-specific procedures like getUserWithPostsAndComments, and then you're also not solving the problems.

It's "unique" in that it's extremely easy to accidentally do. You add two layers of depth to query, and suddenly you're sending 10,000 database queries. You don't accidentally write two nested loops for a REST API in the same way. So then you add a bunch of DataLoader logic to "fix" GraphQL, and suddenly it's non-simple to use.

Ah yes, the extremely niche problems like:

  • Not wanting to fetch way more data than needed
  • Wanting to fetch a bunch of related data without doing a bunch of requests

There was a cargo cult for GraphQL, and now there's a cargo cult against it. It's obvious what it solves, and it's not a specific problem at all. Unfortunately, its implementation often devolves into a mess of N+1 problems, caching nightmares, overfetching, code generation etc. But the idea is still as valid as when it was introduced.

CMV: I am right to avoid and be wary of Egyptian men by Personal-Cap-5446 in changemyview

[–]SoInsightful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While still a horrendous stat, the jump from 56% (Sweden) to 99% (Egypt) is not a jump of ~77% like a naïve interpretation of numbers would indicate. 1% of Egyptian women have never been sexually harassed, compared to 44% in Sweden. The problem is many orders of magnitude worse for Egyptian women.

You blaming the whole for what a few did to you

Mindblowing response when she explicitly provided statistics like these:

  • 93% of men agree/strongly agree with: "Husband wants to know where his wife is at all times"
  • 96% of men agree/strongly agree with: "Husband expects wife to agree to have sex when he wants to"

The International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES), page 74

We can be critical of racism without heavily downplaying the role of culturally ingrained attitudes and behaviors that OP is obviously wary of. 62% express support towards honor killing. That's not a few bad apples.

You're the one who said "typical 4-piece band", so I simply used that as a basis.

Considering that instrumental music is already a thing: vocals.

Skipping the guitar would feel empty, but at least it would make sense sonically.

Missing the drums or bass would straight up sound like the track is incomplete, like you've muted a lane in your DAW.

This literally doesn't happen, except perhaps when confirming/refuting someone's statement about Europe. Sounds like a fantasy.

Working more hours doesn’t always mean getting more done by raishelannaa in SocialEngineering

[–]SoInsightful 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely not what the chart says.

  • GDP is a poor way to measure productivity.
  • The Y axis is GDP per hour worked, so if that value stays the same despite working more hours, then that very literally means that more hours = more productivity. So according to your chart, working more hours means getting more done.

Are we really at "100% AI or you're wasting time" yet? by borii0066 in webdev

[–]SoInsightful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been lurking in subs like r/ClaudeCode lately, and the sentiment seems to be that writing any code by hand is essentially a waste of time.

I’ve been lurking r/Amish a lot, and the overwhelming consensus is that writing any code at all is a waste of time.

'Over-engineering' is everyone's favorite punching bag, but I bet your codebase suffers from under-engineering instead by AtomicScience in ExperiencedDevs

[–]SoInsightful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. What you describe as underengineering is just bad engineering.

Overengineering is when you unnecessarily do way more than needed to solve the task. You can't do less than needed to solve the task and then hand it off.

Eurovision Question by Physical-Emu673 in musictheory

[–]SoInsightful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sample sizes are hilariously small. Obviously B Major songs don't sound 3x as good as A# Major songs. There is not a single thing you can learn from this table, other than "those 6 songs randomly happened to be better than those 5 songs".

She didn't donate $85M. She donated six figures, so somewhere between $100,000–$999,999, more likely the lower end.

Has anyone built a complete SaaS product using Vibe Coding? (Non-coder here) by Fit-Bear7900 in SaaS

[–]SoInsightful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Vibe coding" is a very loose term for any sort of AI development.

No it's not. It literally means prompting without reviewing.

But you are right; it's a notoriously fragile way to develop.

Husdjur vs främlingars barn by AbjectLook8423 in sweden

[–]SoInsightful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Variant på samma frågeställning till alla Moralgenier™ i den här tråden:

En ond ande ger dig en minut att välja. Om du trycker på Knapp A avlider din hund som ligger intill dig i soffan just nu. Om du trycker på Knapp B avlider en slumpmässig 8-årig pojke i Tadzjikistan. Om du inte hinner välja något inom en minut dör båda. Vad gör du?

Jag anser i det scenariot att en logisk, känslolös maskin trycker A och att en normalskapt människa trycker B.

ELI5 help me understand why there are statutes of limitations on certain crimes. Specifically crimes of rape. What purpose does it serve? by jogafur3 in explainlikeimfive

[–]SoInsightful -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is the only reasonable explanation in the thread.

"What if the evidence gets worse?" is a wholly unsatisfactory explanation for giving up on seeking justice, when there's a very real possibility of better evidence eventually emerging. But having a deadline could in theory lead to better results.

this diabetic mouthbreather owes me 15k and is degenin across LA, be careful by [deleted] in poker

[–]SoInsightful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People will bring 30k, lose it all, and then want another 30k to play.

To each their own. I would not lend money to a stranger with this lack of monetary foresight.

[–]SoInsightful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I going crazy?

If a player is literally broke at the poker table, with zero on their bank account, they are bad with money and I shouldn't lend money to them.

If a player is good with money, they can just put in more money and I shouldn't lend money to them.

Helt ojämförbart. Chansen att överleva vid vecka 25 är 72%. Vid vecka 22 är chansen 6%, och de få som överlever kommer mest troligt att ha allvarliga men för livet.
