Trade offs to avoid lawsuits. Poles are dangerous. Stairs are 30 seconds slower and you can also fall on them, but there won't be safety lawsuits. Sleeping on the floor where car maintenance is performed is also dangerous, there are ex

To continue the analogy, most people chasing gold then did it with little shovels, sifters and human eyes. Today gold is mined with massive machines, extracting invisible specks of dust from hundreds of tons of sand. The market of visible g

Aren't some suburbs full of hair trigger car alarms going off all night and some people can't sleep without them? You can get acclimated to noise. There are also earplugs.

Sure but you can't re-allocate workers in a capitalist economy with a paper idea and a signature. You have to convince thousands of people. You have to convince investors to start new companies where new types of workers are doing some

It's not so much the hubris of designers as the economics. Designers bring the print culture with them, where everything published gets visually polished by a human. You don't just dump tagged text from a typewriter. The web is de

I care about coming back precisely where I was. That's how it works on a normal website, that's how it should work here. And it's very wonky, on Safari OSX. Broke it immediately. Command clicked an image to open in new tab an

What makes you think ants are so stupid? They farm, own slaves and have organized raids. Of course, the ones in your backyard typically don't do that. Those are like boring human villages.

I can remember disliking 1998 2D Mac math games quite a bit. From what I can remember you would solve one little arithmetic problem after another and there would be some fun graphics around that. And they were exactly as boring as doing hu

But it handles memory more like Rust than Go or something. And it's not weird like Clojure and Scala. And it doesn't have their performance quirks. And you can use the same language for iOS front ends as you do for back ends! Just

If you exclude deadlifts it's now harder to exercise important muscles necessary for bench and overhead press. These would be your back muscles and lats. You can do rows, but they require many of the same lower back muscles as deadlift
