I live close to the most populous city in Scotland (Glasgow), and even only 6mile (10km) out of the city there is extensive greenery. Rats and mice are very uncommon here. They are…

The bricks extend into the cavity region behind the brickwork. Here, pretty much all homes have a gap between the brickwork and the structure to prevent moisture transfer (although…

No you have an equal number of options (minor and major are effectively transpositions/rotations...e.g. the chord progressions are "m dim M m m M M" for minor (m-minor, M-major, di…

EPOC only accounts for something like 60 additional calories burned in the next 24 hours...unless there is something unexplained going on, it's _greatly_ overblown how significant …

...that's not really an illustration of that. When you actually consider population and land size, the numbers don't seem so strange. Just looking at wikipedia population and area …

The parent linked to a subsection showing usage for a particular object. If you click back into the root level for the document there is a header specifying ‘syntax’, and other mor…

Definitions matter when it comes discussion, as what you say influences how people feel on a topic. Broad, non-specific definitions leave a lot of space for bias rather than clarit…

From my perspective, I don't think I ever see "the science" being decided based on a single crap paper, so it seems a bit of a skeptical straw man. Perhaps that's different in your…

You say you do a cost:benefit...but where do those costs come from? To me, that's just voluntarily doing your own ignorant, sloppy science I was mentioning above. If you only consi…

I think describing it as 'fake' is rather antagonistic. You could just as easily say 'poor quality' or 'unjustified'. I would say that more accurately describes the situation. It c…

Nothing is _ever_ certain or completely specified in science (or elsewhere)... and society is going to move forward, so what level of 'evidence' is sufficient for you? This is goin…

This article is the very first link on his homepage, under "well, i have some thoughts"

You seem to have taken the message 'want harder' from the original comment. I took the original comment as question if you actually want the habit or are just doing it out of socia…

...and you seem to have quickly conflated habit with *addiction*. It could be a valid point to bring up, but being combative/aggressive with it doesn't benefit the conversation. Yo…

I don't think the parent's advice is anything to do with "just try harder"...I think he's saying that we try to create habits for things we don't really care about...just stuff we …

For vim/neovim users you can use digraphs, where you press ` ` followed by a 2-character code to get a symbol (see `:help digraphs` and `:help digraph-table`). For example, -> give…

In the 3rd paragraph (of which the preceding 2 were very short) ... "Before going any further, I want to make it clear that I am just a civilian piecing together this story from wh…

I've posted a function which should handle this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41288792 and you can bind it to whatever key you like. I remember vaguely having the same explo…

For the 'cycle windows of current app', i've posted a function above https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41288792

For those mentioning autohotkey, this is what I use when on windows do get the same functionality: CycleCurrentApplication() { ; {{{1 curID := WinGetID("A") ActiveClass := WinGetCl…

I don't see how anki is an experts tool...unless you want it to be. You can simply dump everything into a single collection, use basic 'front' and 'back' cards...and review. Yes, i…

As an additional tip, if you want to get rid of the "You are now fullscreen" (or whatever it says) that comes across the top... you can set the following to 0 full-screen-api.trans…

You can make firefox fullscreen _within the window_ by changing a flag in about:config ... full-screen-api.ignore-widgets (set to true) then, when you press `F` on a video, you wil…

There's never going to be a universal "you are male, so you CANNOT use this saddle", or vice versa... but there _are_ saddles which are marketed and designed to _more likely_ bette…

If you go on the Fizik website, their saddle filter includes gender.
