This reminded - I noticed a while ago that being a computer science guy makes me think differently about physical storage and retrieval. For example - my wife likes "shorts" to be in one drawer and "t-shirts" in another. I like for one drawer to be "workout clothes" and have the mix of gym shorts and t-shirts. To me this feels "obviously" right because the use-case requires both items so why pay for two costly "open…

My wife keeps on reorganising my toolboxes and it’s driving me nuts. She ends up organising the contents by colour, or by size, so now I find my woodworking chisels in a box with filter spanners and solder (the soldering irons are in the box with glue and mallets). It’s driving me crazy, but she won’t stop, and gets mad at me when I can’t find stuff because “it’s organised”. Different people have different minds. I g…

"it’s driving me nuts"

At least you can find the nut drivers. ;)

The idea is pretty good, but misses the mark. Bitcoin has shown that decentralization is a bad idea. What people actually want is Sharebowl: a single bowl, the size of oregon, that you can trust to keep your valuables safe. We plan an ICO by 2022, IPO by 2023, and IBS[1] by next week.

Where does dogebowl fit into this, other than to start a pronunciation war?

In Venice, of course.

Your first example could have a different explanation, assuming she is the one that more often does the laundry. Ordering clothes by type is cognitively easy: a shirt is a shirt, shorts are shorts. When you have a stack of freshly washed clothes, sorting them according to type is so trivial it is a thoughtless process. However, sorting according to use case is more involved. For each piece of clothing in the clothes…

I do both and I order the clothes most times.

Clothes I can use in multiple situations (like a pair of jeans or normal t-shirts) are grouped together but I also use "use-case-drawers" (like sports or outside work clothes).

My girlfriend (no tech background) uses a more seperated system (work t-shirts are not sorted to work pants) but still seperated by use-case (normal pants /= work pants).

I guess it's up to everyones own preferences then..

This actually reminded me of http://www.mysmalt.com/ But I don't think the latter is satire...

Ok, I am having a really hard time figuring out if that's serious or not. I watched the video and it was ridiculous, but it all seems to be done with a straight face. But maybe a school project or something? It's from 2017 so I assume they are now defunct, however it originated.

We live in an age where it's impossible to tell satire from reality. I clicked through to both "About" and "Blog," but am none the wiser for it. (Didn't dare to click "Pre-order" in case it were for real.)

I tried installing the node modules but am getting an error "Cannot find module yargs'". Running webpack version 5.22.0 and webpack-cli 4.5.0. Any idea how I can get this project running?

This is a known bug in projects generated with `create-shitbowl-app`. You may need to clear the cache and upgrade to the latest version of the S6L framework

Oh my, do I get this. My wife has worked for years as a professional organizer, so she definitely has an idea for How Things Should Be Done.

That way is not mine however. I've been known to have something much like Shitbowl as a system, except I called it my "sedimentary filing system." It has layers, like a parfait, and very much an LRU cache.

She likes things to be away, which to me, is not always having them usable. Sometimes, things that are stashed out of sight are less than accessible when I decide I want them.

Different strokes I guess. After nigh on thirty years, I'm somewhat tidier, while she has become more tolerant of a bit of disorder.
