Buildings, as in large buildings, maybe. Homes don't use that much aircon. We actually never do, except if we have guests, and in any case it's never used the way I experienced so often in the US - that it's actually cold (

As was mentioned in one of the comments which actually described what the real cause was, it came from the original Ritchie C which had a syntax which in some cases differed a lot from what eventually became C. And in that version it did m

As others said, Norway isn't that cold - the ocean is pretty warm. That does mean, however, that the temperature varies greatly with how far you are from the sea. Go far enough inland and it can get cold. -30C or, even these days, s

> ..that ICE vehicle users do not have to ever think about. Well.. the comment you replied to said "-40C" (which is about -40F too, AFAIK), and, back in time before global warming really hit, a friend used to live and work in a

In Japan, however, it's almost always very humid. Today, for example, it's over 70% relative (when the sky was still clear and mostly blue, now it's raining so it's much worse). And, as said in that article, there's

I grew up on a farm and was constantly exposed to all kinds of soil, vegetables, animals, trees, well forests, grasses and hay.. and I never had any kind of allergies. However, when I moved to another European country I had severe reactions

My father also developed allergies in his sixties. And it got worse and worse. Soon he was becoming lactose intolerant as well, and had to start with gluten-free food. He could never be near oranges, unless they were grown without pesticide

As the sister comment said - this was common in the past a lot of places. Maybe everywhere. My left-handed father was forced to learn to write with his right hand.

But it is a thing. That's how it was always explained in school, among other places, when I was a kid.

You're right-handed, right? It is more natural to move your hand in counter-clockwise circles than the opposite. People who have never swirled pasta or anything like that will feel the same if you ask them to make swirling motions

I'm like that, except for those things I can do both ways, because it's useful and sometimes necessary - like using a shovel. There are a bunch of things I only do with either the left hand only, or the right hand only. A right-h

That's because after you've learned to drive, everything the feet do is muscle memory. You don't consciously adjust the pressure (you just believe you do..), so switching around the pedals will need re-learning. And indeed it

The French Horn is played left-handed.

by Tor3 5mo ago
Generally agreed, except for the "Anyone" - because people really are different. I'm familiar with a few people (from very young to adults) who are extremely one-handed. The other hand is nearly useless, except for holding an

by Tor3 5mo ago
I'm right-handed, I'm pretty sure of that. But it's also an observed fact that if there's something I'm not used to to yet then it doesn't really matter which hand I start doing whatever it is with, if it'

For understanding git internals I went through "Git from the bottom up", a simple document with examples you type in, just to see what's going on. Many of those examples are raw git commands, nothing as sophisticated as &quot

Same. I absolutely don't use git for snapshotting what I'm currently doing. That goes both for work and for my numerous hobby projects. I always cultivate commits so that they're focused on a single type of change or feature

Yes, I remember reading that - though it was just a passage in one book in the "Orion" series (that series also had an idea about the "real" Noah's Ark - that it was seeds and plants collected and saved in a hurry f

And today I read an article in a Japanese newspaper about an innocent woman who was detained for two years , because an interpreter translated a word incorrectly. And, apparently, deliberately. It finally went to court after two years (one

The short version of the Japanese justice system is "Guilty until proved innocent", instead of (as in most modern countries) "Innocent until proved guilty". In addition to that, focus is much more on confessions instead

The success of ARM vs other RISC CPUs (as was asked in the article) As to why ARM succeeded so greatly and is still among us as (originally) a RISC CPU, unlike SPARC, MIPS (the list goes on), it was because of its extremely low power requir

None of our new hires the last few years had anything to do with Linkedin though. As for myself, I deleted my account around the time when it started to try to look like a Facebook feed.

I used to have a book laying around - it had, or tried to have, all the email addresses in my country. Like a phonebook for email addresses. That approach didn't last long.

Well, Teams is like that (not "I have wifi issues", but "I have Teams issues"). Even more so after teams.microsoft.com moved to teams.cloud.microsoft - never got the mic or speaker to work after that. Before, it was kind

The one I drove (and a much older MF as well) had both. A lever on the steering column, as well as a foot pedal. I've never seen anyone without one elsewhere either, maybe they were only sold that way in my country.

I went through my teenager years driving one of those MF 135 machines. A very versatile tractor. I enjoyed driving tractors (including a much older MF), when I eventually got my car's driver license some years later I found that drivin

First, you don't need to go through any kind of "detox" regime. That's myth 1. The liver is where natural detoxing occurs, and the kidneys filters the rest. Don't focus on detox, instead focus on keeping your liver

by Tor3 6mo ago
Yes.. my point was only that to get rid of more than water you're better peeing than sweating. In any case, the liver is the only toxin-handling organ in the body (and a complex one).
