I buy vinyl because I like the tangibleness if the medium. Seeing the tracks on the record, the liner notes, lyric sheets, photos, etc. It's great when the artist really embraces t…

As someone with colon cancer, I'd rather the complications than what I'm going through. 8" of colon removed, 6 weeks of recovery then 7 months of chemo treatments. If I could go ba…

Had my first colonoscopy at 46. Found cancer, stage 2b. Resection and chemo. I was completely asymptomatic. I put a post on FB and I now know about a dozen people who that prompted…

So, they cut down the trees and do what? How is this supposed help anything?

Meeting and talk to people is a learned behavior. It took me a while in my 20s to get comfortable talking to new people. I'm determined to not let my kids struggle with the isolati…

Don't get me started on torso lengths! I'm 5'11 but wear a 30" inseam pants. My torso is long, so most shirts are too short for me. I'm not overweight, I'm 160 lbs, so finding a sh…

There should be an adult category. Lets get some genuine citizen science going. Let the kids see that science doesn't need to be confined to corporate or university labs.

At least Word has an outline mode, GDocs is the worst. A text editor with markdown support is better than GDocs.

Yup, you're probably right. Author confirmed it was done by CBS news crew.

Yeah, this doesn't look like AI generated. It was probably filmed on super 8 film stock. The clothing, hair cuts, manufacturing process all scream early 80s. I could see a cheap re…

Same. Small units if work, iterate in it till it's right, commit it, push it, then do the next increment of work. It's how I've always worked like that, except now, I sometimes let…

Aluminum oxide has high resistance and if you mix aluminum wiring with copper outlets, etc the impedance mismatched is what causes fires. You need to either have special copper pig…

Many employees are doing text work and, until recently, operating systems and apps did a really bad job of working with Hi DPI displays. Your best bet was to target around 115 DPI …

I think social norms in child rearing have changed drastically, though I think, at least in my neighborhood, they are swinging back. Growing up in the 80s, I remember having a lot …

We have a 3 way intersection with lights outside my kid's elementary school. 30 min before and after the school day begins and ends, there is no right on red. There is a sign that …

They are going to innovate servers on electric roller skates to deliver the food right to your car.

Is it really good form in TypeScript to make all functions async, even when functions don't use await? like this, https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider/blob/fe...

Salesforce core is Java. A smattering of other languages in the mix. I left Salesforce a year ago, their main developer productivity drains had nothing to do with the code base. It…

There have been VR headsets since before there were PDAs. The first VR Headsets were made in the 80s by VPL ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPL_Research ). This no where near being…

That was my first thought. Create an import or manufacturing entity. That entity then sells the product to the retail entity for a markup. It's the retail entity that has the relat…

"In 2016, there should not be many undergraduates that are familiar with the version of Basic that Dijkstra was referring to when he made this quote in 1975" see https://www.cs.ute…

I guess it depends, but I know a few folks in their late forties with kids in college. They had them in their late twenties. I wouldn't call it rare.

It's a carrot, not a stick. It's designed to spread the digging.and repaving costs around so the work is cheaper. It's more that the city knows it's doing work in an area, digging …

FWIW, many sleep away camps still rely on letter writing. My daughter left with a stack of pre-stamped envelopes and a pad of paper. She enjoyed writing and receiving letters.

So, it really doesn’t prevent phishing. If you can get someone to give you their password, you can probably get them to click approve. The real benefit is to the service provider, …
