I get what you're saying, but let's not pretend the modern world isn't meaningfully different. Artificial light is a big factor, yes. So are odd and constantly changing work hours …

Good heavens, the comments on that article make me want to vomit: "Thanks to people with your mindset our streets and borders are not as safe as they should be." This option is mad…

I built a browser extension for a hackathon that enabled crypto payments direct to site owners. "registration" was just sticking a formatted payment address in a DNS TXT record, an…

Yes, I have an 8 year old pair of boots that have been through all sorts of conditions, all over the world. And I don't even do anything to maintain them. You can get very good boo…

My association was a bit later, mid to late 2010s. I recognize some of the names as well, including one of the top folks that probably onboarded both of us. That said, my info is n…

My old gym teacher also taught science because we just couldn't find another teacher, and was genuinely surprised to learn there were forms of matter smaller than atoms. My health …

This is pretty much Van Inwagen's argument in Material Beings -- recommended if you haven't read it! Copied from wiki: "Every composite material object is made up of elementary par…

I was able to find a similar public domain image in all of 5 seconds, so neither faster nor cheaper in this case. In fact, it's not hard to imagine people using AI tools even if th…

There's this FinTech ad on the NYC subway right now. I can't remember the company, but the entire ad is just a picture of a guitar and some text. Anyway, the guitar is AI generated…

In the US, between 15% - 30% according to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1484557/ I would guess this number is higher today

For the curious, it would be something like "makku-fu-ruri" This was my experience in Japan as well. So many words we're used to saying in English use mouth shapes that the Japanes…

I often can't even find someone with a key to open the cabinets. At my CVS there's usually just a security guard, who can't open the cabinets. If you need detergent, beer, shampoo,…

I learned how to drive stick on an NSX. I also wedged my skateboard in the back window when it was open, causing it to completely shatter when the owner tried to close it. Didn't a…

I don't do much recreational coding now, but there are a couple of recent examples: - I needed to submit something on a website that had a completely broken frontend (like, scripts…

They may have changed it / it varies by location, but when I worked there it was just heavy cream and a canister of compressed air.

While this is a shame, there was neither good content nor engagement. I mean, when you run a search for "DesignerNews", the first sub-result is "DesignerNews is almost dead", which…

The ecosystem sounds no less insane with this answer. I run into " is deprecated, use " constantly at a dependency level, at a framework level, and at a paradigm level. Also, what'…

Probably because these colleges have 5,000 Maries to choose from. The article says Marie is perfect on paper and "checks all the boxes", but that's honestly not very inspiring and …
