Zoning laws making everything standard and boring and unlivable is a specifically American problem.

That doesn't make any sense. If the US were split into the 50 states, you would have to get 50 governments separately to agree to carbon regulations, instead of one. Same with China or with any other large country. Also, a large countr

I want to start blogging, but I'm concerned about giving control of my content to a third party. At the same time, I can't be bothered to register my own domain (mainly due to the herculean task of finding a decent name).

Blue LEDs are the worst. They are the most annoying of LEDs, in part because of their ridiculous brightness, in part because blue light just disturbs sleep more for biological reasons. If I have a device with blue LEDs in my bedroom, it get

This confused me when I moved to America, because I thought it meant an appetizer. Then, when I visited France, it confused me again, because by that point I thought it meant a main course.

The (baffling) explanation given is that Ward Cunningham has one computer, and serving the wiki from it made it slow for other work: So why close? It gives me room to work. The continuous scraping bumps up against my web throttlin

The README says: "P has been used to implement and validate the USB device driver stack that ships with Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows Phone". It's not clear from your answer. Does Windows ship with a "USB device driver

Did you find this new group of friends before or after you left college? How did you find them? For many people, it's quite hard to find friends once out of university.

I have a friend who keeps lots of money in bank accounts, too. He is aware that he could be investing it, but he just doesn't seem to care. It appears to be half "everyone is expecting another financial crisis anyway, if you buy n

I don't want to have to wear noise cancelling headphones all day long. If you give them out to everyone, it becomes an excuse to be loud. "Just put on your headphones!" No, you go fucking chitchat somewhere else.

It's more like 8 years of Metafont, and 24 of its corpse clinging to TeX like some sort of husk.

Could you link to an example page? I don't even know how to find out if a page is using AMP on iOS. Is the main AMP site AMPed? It doesn't feel any different from any other site to me.

Read your own sources more carefully. The $40k figure was for homeless people with mental illnesses in NYC (a more expensive subset of homeless, and a more expensive city than most). The figures given by Mangano later in the article have no

Not a cent of those $241 million is spent on incarceration, policing or the like. You can scroll down in the article I linked to see a breakdown. Your response essentially consists of ignoring the facts I have presented and talking about so

San Francisco spends $241 million a year[1] on the homeless. Perhaps what it says about America is that you can't solve these kinds of problems by throwing more and more money at them, but that won't keep politicians from trying.

Not quite. Fundamentally, pre-revolutionary Iran had (and modern Iran still seems to have) the same pattern as other middle-eastern countries: a Westernized, liberal-friendly urban middle-upper class, and a traditionalist, Islam-focused low

But notice how the entire angle of the article is Our Fault (well, your fault, I'm not American). That's what people want to hear nowadays. So the fact that it is "objectively not our fault", as you say, is actually a li

#2 is spot on. That is also why going to university no longer guarantees a "good job". A degree used to be a pretty decent proxy for intellectual talent. For many degrees, that was actually most of the value to potential employers

I'm not sure you think why "we" (who?) need to teach devs to "yearn for the endless sea". We're literally talking about the endless sea some dev made, and we're unhappy because we wanted an endless critiqu

The US did not "fix" the elections. They did finance the DC campaign, just as the Soviet Union financed the FDP campaign. In the preceding 1946 elections, the Communists got 19% and the Socialists got 20%, for a total of 39%. In t
