I'm sure it's something that becomes instinctive, and that develops best at a young age even if it can be learned a bit later as well. I don't know if the environment regarding play is somehow different to other European coun

Having visited Amsterdam once, I'm honestly a little surprised there are so few cycling accidents. The number of bikes is huge and the flow of it looked a bit like a controlled chaos. The Dutch seem to have understood the street smarts

If you include indirect effects, lots and lots of our actions and choices become morally charged. It's a good thing to include that in one's thinking, at least if you want to get higher than average in terms of ethical thinking, b

Masks protect others, not just the wearer, perhaps even with an emphasis on the others. That might create a stronger social pressure for wearing a mask, and avoidance of stigma might compel people to wear one even in situations where it doe

Are you sure most restaurants aren't renting their premises in any case? Owning a property sounds like a massive investment before you're even able to do any business. Of course the restaurant business is probably hit-and-miss and

Looks like it might be encoded in code page 850, which was commonly used in DOS at the time for non-English locales, at least in parts of Europe. On another note, it's interesting to see what appear to be some kinds of todo items or ta

The kernel's still monolithic, and one of the arguments in the video was core system components becoming unsustainably large. I suppose the community woes the video mentions might apply equally to BSD, although I have no personal exper

I had an X230 for work back in the day, and I seriously disliked its trackpad. It was really small, and using the physical click on the trackpad itself felt rather cumbersome because the force required for a click seemed to be quite inconsi

I think it's a Nordic thing. Tax records (including recorded income) are also public in Finland, and apparently Sweden has something similar. [1] In case of Finland, the current legislation that makes tax information public was origina

I don't claim to have any expertise in this matter. I suppose it's quite possible that the common understanding of "PUFA good, SFA bad" is flawed somehow. I'm not sure I agree with your arguments, though. > they&

I'm pretty sure that in Civ 2 all units in a defending tile did actually get killed if the defending unit was defeated. Getting killed when attacking didn't have this effect, of course, nor did it happen if your defending stack

Canola oil, some seeds and (true) nuts, as well as fatty fish also contain lots of polyunsaturated fats. Most of those are generally considered healthy. Would those also become unhealthy for the reasons you've listed? I think arguing t

Are all of those addresses aliases for the same mailbox? Do you run your own email server, or how do you manage creating a new address for each service with reasonable convenience?

This is a personal experience and fully anecdotal. However, I think the results also depend on whether people know what to do with their free time. Personality might also matter. I think most people need something to do for good well-bein

That's also one of the reasons why I don't use a localised version of a desktop OS. Especially on Linux, where everything follows the OS locale and the translations of many open source applications are either only half-done or lea

My main gripe is that, according to some of the comments, a Microsoft account will be required, at least for the home version. It might seem like nitpicking, and perhaps many people wouldn't consider it a major hurdle, but if I'm

You're not wrong about there being substantive performance improvements in recent CPU generations, or that workloads matter. However, the leaps in the 90's were great enough that you wouldn't have been able to run even the la

I have no trouble believing that the sentiment behind those changes is genuine. However, I'm also somewhat annoyed by these kinds of changes, mostly because I would never have associated the "black" in blacklist with the skin

Would that quadratic formula generally work if you picked any two random points from the graph instead? Anyway, the graph doesn't even try to suggest the performance behaviour shows a single linear relationship. The post (and the graph

I was assuming it would be about environmental questions based on the context, but that may have been a poor assumption on my part. Nothing of course makes environmental research immune to problems. The question then becomes the same about

Many environmentalists have been wrong about nuclear power and nuclear industry, and still are. That doesn't really make the opponents of environmentalism any more right. If the opponents had focused on pointing out e.g. contradictory
