"The Week" is a great magazine for this purpose.

All the while pumping more and more carbon into the air and hurtling into bigger and bigger weather disasters.

I also solved it by hand many years ago but I think I never realized there was another layer to it! I was pretty proud of myself when I solved it so I’m pretty sure I kept my hand-…

What a strange take! Not an expert (or even a beginner) in this area by any means, but I definitely learned a lot, and I thought the author pretty clearly laid out why they think t…

Hmm, what is it that I needed to know? And what does the info box tell me? As another simpleton in this world, I did not understand this comment. > Jean Marc Ah-Sen is the author o…

I have a similar problem -- the Google Maps country I got is China, and the C is already 100 -- how do multiply it "down" to 35? Can I do parenthetical math similar to what a sibli…

FYI for others -- from https://www.usds.gov/apply I understand that only US citizens (not even permanent residents) are considered.

The typo (Strange -> Strangle) gives this comment a very surreal vibe.

If you don't mind my asking, what is your side consulting gig? Is it in software?

+1 to this. That example message is very close to how I phrase questions in chats as well.

Using dpaste is a great idea! But I just realized that I was reading the clues wrong -- I thought the gray tiles were the user's attempts, not clues that the game gave you as alrea…

I have a possible solution but I can't figure out how to post it here without spoiling it immediately. If you tell me it's OK, or if somebody tells me how to post text with a black…

Thanks! That would definitely be a way to do it. I was hinting at something similar by saying "unless you use a user script to make the field editable again". You could also run a …

Somewhat unrelated, but hopefully this also means TreasuryDirect will get rid of its archaic graphical keyboard that disables the usage of password managers. (Graphical keyboards a…

Marcus bought HonestDollar, which is in the same space, a while ago, and has rebranded it as "Marcus Invest" * https://www.honestdollar.com/ * https://www.marcus.com/us/en/invest

I'm pretty sure timwis and zinekeller in this thread (and detaro in the sibling thread) are all saying the same thing. Idempotency implies the request in question does not change t…
