This seems rather silly, but I admire the audacity, it's a statement in itself.

I personally generally agree, but I actually quite like the very most recently constructed buildings in my area (southwest Paris), which are still clearly modern but more generous with ornamentation and featuring more organic shapes and oft

For my household I built my own cartoonishly big 200×80×4cm oak desk. The oak was €350 at the hardware store and only needed finishing. The height adjustable legs add some extra cost, but the whole was maybe €700 tops and a day of work.

I feel like the thing eroding away in this case is a blocker, a friction. Think of a river cutting a path through the mountains.

I imagine they are only buying one copy of each book, thus only significantly affecting the supply of books that were already unfathomably rare. That may still be bad, but doesn't really support the "scan every book you can get yo

As someone above entry level but with an atypical employment history, it's very rough out there. Went through the whole interview process with a company, was told in both the technical and culture fit interviews that I was "the st

For an exhaustive search, if you can explain to me: - how to exhaustively list the cases that need to be checked, and why that method is exhaustive - how to check each case, and why that works and then conclude with "we've had a c

Going from an 80% to a 90% failure rate means the success rate halved; that's a pretty big change in my book.

I could not give less of a shit about counterfeit goods, but of course for safety there understandably are rules and those rules should be enforced. In general, though, Aliexpress has a lot of goodwill with me; I buy stuff from there with s

Another example: my partner is left-handed, I am right-handed. We dabble in instruments together; we have a right-handed bass guitar, and an electronic drum kit we set up in a traditionally left-handed way. Both very doable, but there'

The article searches hard for an evolutionary explanation for why right-handedness specifically would be favored, but I think it suffices to find a reason for most people to have the same handedness, and then right-or-left can just be a coi

I think "act like it's ridiculous" is pretty hyperbolic here. I didn't know what ARIA stood for until now (though I knew what it was). You'd be surprised how many people barely know it exists... I was a TA for my un
