Why do people put locks on glass doors? Society only works because of the assumption that ~90% of people will follow the rules.

There needs to be a column for the name of the narrator. I will listen to almost anything read by a narrator that I like. The LibriVox version of Flatland has long, detailed descri…

I guess you’ve never had the displeasure of using treasurydirect.gov.

You’re right, I can’t believe they didn’t cut frames that are totally unrelated, there so many left in that are just scribbles or text. I just tried making some frames for the dune…

My forearms are getting cold just thinking about it.

You should exclude unit tests. And the package line from Java files.

3% of a big number is... still pretty big. It's easily going to be five figures in most markets.

Do you actually have any evidence for this? While having zero personal projects is probably a red flag, in my last job search I saw almost no clicks on links to projects. From pers…

Thank you, this is a huge problem with maps search results. It's showing too many results and the ranking is rubbish. Searching for coffee shows tons of low quality results includi…
