    I try to avoid the common traps, but it can be tricky. I also impose this additional constraint on myself, which the game doesn't enforce, that I can't reuse letters that have been…

    In a somewhat similar vein: https://youtu.be/0S43IwBF0uM (The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar)

    I've never heard of candlepin bowling before this, but now that I'm reading about it, I'm surprised it's not more popular. It looks like a lot of fun. The fact that fallen pins are…

    An honest question: why is this being downvoted? I thought that downvoting is meant to be used when someone is trolling or bringing the level of discussion down, not when you simpl…

    Thanks for being so thoughtful about this. I think you made the right decision, although I can see how others might feel otherwise since the guideline is so subjective.

    This sounds like a good technique that can be fully automated. I wonder why this isn't the default behavior or at least something you could easily request.

    Ceaseless, decades-long propaganda that US is being taken advantage of and that America should come first certainly played a part in inflating that number in minds of a lot of peop…

    I wonder if the surge in productivity would hold up if you also take into account the productivity of delivery people, who are with the move to delivery apps as much a part of the …

    Agreed. I feel like the right test would be: "OK, you can use AI to easily generate these pac-man prototypes in an hour or two. But once you get past the 'wow I was able to get all…

    Agreed. It's also free to stream. I've seen it a couple of times and I keep marveling at the sheer strangeness of how it all played out.

    This is a tough question since what's best for the team and what's personally best for the manager's career may be in conflict, at least when it comes to the long-term. A manager w…

    Thanks but that doesn't really solve any of the issues. It still just creates a new folder on the bottom instead of the current selection.

    I always feel like I'm missing something, but I find the creation of new folders really awkward. I'd like to just be able to right-click on a folder or even on a file or between tw…

    I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that's just how the justice system works. Reasonable people can disagree about what exactly a complicated statement says, since language …

    Would you care to elaborate which law you helped to pass? Also, can you link to some good resources for someone who wants to get off the sidelines and get more involved in Chicago …

    An entertaining read, even if I disagree with a lot of the ratings. Bananas get 1/5 for logistics?! They are the perfect portable snack. Grapes are definitely not guilt free - most…

    Yeah, this makes sense to me. I started developing some of these similar intuitions while watching a visualization another commenter posted. Here are some things I realized: 1. The…

    I agree. At first I thought it was doing something very simple but I am not so sure anymore. When you check the condition for the swap, you realize it almost works counterproductiv…

    This is interesting. I've never heard of this service, but it totally makes sense. It makes me muse: what would it take to have a completion bond service in the software developmen…

    Completely agree with the reduced power recommendation. That really helps evenly heat foods that start popping in the microwave or have hot spots when taken out. The few extra minu…

    I agree that the perpetual part is kind of gimmicky, but having a stew for a week or two and stretching it out with additional ingredients can be a big time saver and, as you said,…
