Yeah I like that idea too. Theres a lot of people who would have trouble with that approach though.

The testing that would be required to support toggles would be for 2^n. I’m not sure that’s a good solution.

I think you’re off by an order of magnitude. With those numbers, a 12” board would expand and contract 1.2”, and an 8’ long board would vary by almost an inch. Much more reasonable…

I see a couple of sibling comments giving you great tips already. I am still in the painful stage of failing my way to success (though closer to the end than the beginning) I will …

As a hand tool woodworker, I’m inspired to make something similar out of a block of wood. When I saw the title on this page, I was hoping to see a version that was inspired by Appl…

Apologies for going off subject but I want to ask about that background image on that page. I remember seeing that art a long time ago and I remember that it was algorithmically ge…

Thank you for the information! Sometimes it’s worth pausing a moment when seeing a “It’s well known that…” to check the timeline because the construction of Arecibo might well have…

Could you cite sources? Specifically, when was it discovered that zinc flows under high stresses? By whom? (Not a materials engineer so I’m not sure what to search for)

I would be very interested in seeing what definition of “pattern” this discovery is using. Most definitions I could find (I am not a mathematician) seems to imply one of: repetitio…

I found it more readable for coding even though I don’t have dyslexia. Surprised me when I found that out.

Some countries (I know Canada is one, Germany, where the artist works, is possibly another) have the concept of moral rights enshrined into law. Boiled down, this means that anyone…

CGPT: "Hi, Mr Anchovy, my name is William. Welcome to the career counseling session today. Any time you want to end this session, please type '$exit'. Can you please introduce your…

I see a few people advocating for putting one person on support each sprint, rotating through the team. This works fine for small teams but for larger (and with large, older codeba…

I am very much in favor of putting engineers on customer support/success. I believe it is important to develop empathy and understanding of the user's experience with the product y…

I'm so happy to see people talk about this! I too am endlessly fascinated with content tagging systems. Hillel's thoughts are completely unsurprising to me so I guess I've come to …

I expect you're going to get a lot of good advice. My small contribution is this: whatever you do, document it. Write down the date, what you did, what settings you tweaked. (or us…

Great story, Michael, thanks for sharing! I have a disability (profound hearing loss) and I've started 2 businesses in my career; the first was a freelance gig, the second was a he…

I would have expected that you'd _want_ to factor in air noise because humans don't only hear fan noise in their computers. Or am I misunderstanding?

I purchased my current vehicle through an auto broker - for a fee, a description of the model/trim level, and the name of the dealership I want to pick the car up at (anywhere in C…

This makes a ton of sense for B2C contexts, but my gut reaction is that the conversational approach might be too high friction in B2B contexts. To be clear, the friction I'm thinki…

My next woodworking project will be building a Dutch tool chest. After some searching (too many pages only show the _outside_ of the chest, this page shows you some of the potentia…

That would presume the cursory research turns up clear answers. Or that the answers the interviewers give will match the answers online. I have seen both presumptions invalidated e…

Yep! The scale I have seen used includes the terms “mild, moderate, severe, profound”… … ah. Here’s a chart that might help: https://www.asha.org/public/hearing/degree-of-hearing-l…

A lot of folks here wants you to ask him what he wants. Be prepared to hear that he doesn’t know what would help. But he will appreciate that you’re giving him agency. One of the c…
