Sure, I don't like creeks like in your last example. But I absolutely prefer paragraphs, where the final line would be considered 'too short'. It also makes an appreciable impact for me, in how easy a text is to read. Which i

Beyond Thunderdome was good in my book, because it expanded on the Mad Max world. Methane from pigs, of course! I really didn't like Fury Road. It just felt like an over-the-top rehash of the end of Mad Max 2, without meaningfully expa

LibreOffice still doesn't have tables! Not to mention the new(ish) functions in Excel, like LET and LAMBDA. Power Query the language is nice, I kinda like it. I've read the UI and engine works quite well in PowerBI, but I haven&#x

A legal resolution would establish which country has owned it the entire time the conflicting claims have been around, not just from that point forward. So it's not really unclaimed, it's just Schrödinger guest starring in an

Tangentially related, when websites mess up the digit grouping in phone number input fields, I've noticed it becomes quite hard to read. Must be a headache to get it right though, because it's a convention that changes from countr

From the article: >Another important thing to mention is that the chimney sweep was a good luck symbol at that time, especially in Germany. People dressed up as them and send each other postcards showing children as chimney sweeps.

I'd agree with non-capitalist, but the authors are far too absolute for my liking. The whole article hinges on examples of a non-capitalist mode of knowledge production being hard to imagine or conceptualise. Wikipedia is often used as

The pronunciation equivalent is called a 'minimal pair' in linguistics. Two words that differ by a single sound, and they're pretty common. The written equivalent is probably more common in most other languages than in Englis

Nope, I definitely wouldn't.

I would say that it's strongly implied, by phrases like "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" and "some interesting new phenomenon".

Because it's not interesting or insightful from a technical perspective.

The site's guidelines are pretty clear, that it's generally regarded as off-topic.

I get the impression that background checks are basically standard practice in America. That's not generally true in Australia, only in certain industries and roles.

A very basic example, Calc doesn't have tables. That's enough for me to not want to use it, but there are probably a dozen of those for me.

Power Query/M is the only functional language I've used, a couple years ago. I actually quite liked it, I even built up a collection of my own functions. It's just a pity the editor is literally worse than Notepad. And the im

Yeah, we used to have all kinds of software validation tools. Most common was the serial you typed in, or the questions that asked for example, the third word on page 5 of the manual. My favourite though, were those paper wheels where you h

I thought it was a bit odd that he only seems to be considering living in Westwood. I checked out the site referenced, and there's suburbs reasonably close with average rents 30-40% lower than that suburb. That's within a ~45 min.

Requiring them to know their demand in ten years is a bit unfair, but understandable. It's basically a guarantee that they won't be out of pocket, if the companies pull out after five years. Or say, if they simply threaten to, as

I know exactly what you mean, I've had near zero luck with interviews in the past. My long-term jobs have been from labour-hire or temp. work agencies, where the company liked me, so they kept me on. Now I'm trying to build my own
