Hands that tick? They give me the ick. Hands that sweep? On watches I'll keep.

I'd add one more purpose these watches served: Jony Ive really wanted to make something out of gold. He also really wanted to make a gear linkage and that's why the monitor stands were as complicated as they were. So they served t

yeah sorry I really should have said "big interstate passenger rail company."

Amtrak is the big interstate rail company. There are many small railroad that art more densely packed around a metro area or within one small state. For instance, you can get from Newark, DE to Springfield, MA entirely on regional trains: S

My solution: on all of the keyboards I've programmed (which are all ortholinear or vertical staggered ortholinear), I have a numpad layer. When I hold down F my right hand home row is vim style arrows. D and it's a number pad. S a

I mean think about the lifetime midpack Cat 3s who get caught for doping every so often. Some people have that weird brainworm that makes them do this. I repeat this a lot but: powerlifting is one of the only sports that had a chance to be

that's actually a great point! In all of those cases the weight and breakdownability of having another motor in the tool attached to the tractor seems like a real hassle compared to a PTO.

I figure you're joshing but I literally write it for work (although I haven't been in our haskell codebase in months, tragically). I just have a particularly smooth brain so I forget all the little differences as soon as I'm

Haha sorry, I get those backwards a lot. I was gonna do elm but then it’d be a conversation about why we’re writing our own email address validation on the front end instead of using the platform.

Sure! Sorry that was a little too obtuse. So in this case we can imagine an app where we don't use any tagged unions and just use primitive types (your strings, booleans, integers, things of that nature). And we want to signal the vali

In languages with tagged union types you do this a lot! Some Haskell pseudocode for ya module Email (Address, fromText, toText) where -- note we do not export the constructor of Address, just the type data Address = Address Text

The way they handle bears is very limited, for instance. Humanity's main defenses against bears have been 1) being in groups of more than one person and 2) sometimes you gotta kill a bear. In Alone you've got your airhorn and bear

That sounds awesome! Do you have that flag set on a big codebase? Was it a big hassle to turn it on (like you had to remediate a bunch of code that didn't handle exceptions before you could check it in). Have you seen any big changes s

Lots of airlines will gate check your bag for free if the overheads are full, but the overheads are still in high demand because they give you one less errand leaving the destination airport.

Interesting! What happened in 2019? And sorry I'm speaking in kind of broad strokes here; I live in the US and don't own my roof so I haven't gone as deep into this as I'd like.

TIL that wigwam and wickiup are two names for similar enough dwellings that we may consider them the same thing. I always thought that wigwams were bigger. They're usually called wigwams in the northeast among the Iroquois confederacy
