What's the deal with lines that are composed of two lines with a space in the middle? This seems a very odd choice for something "hand drawn" Eg: https://excalidraw.com/?id=5650452045627392

Not necessarily. If I give my mother $50 for a spa place, I'm gifting her a relaxing day that she might not be able to budget for or otherwise justify. If I gift her $50 cash, it's probably going to get used as part of next week&#

Okay, but I _rarely_ need to know _when_ a version was released. I almost _always_ need to know how a version relates to the version I'm currently using. SemVer does this, and to an extent, "normal" non-SemVer also does this.

100% this. I'm wary of getting too invested in this with no guarantee that I'll be able to keep my stuff if I choose to not pay on whatever arbitrary date that is pushed.

I've just started getting into Sonos because I want the full house audio, but I'm not sold yet. The worry I have with Snapcast is that sometimes it's worth the money for things to JustWork(tm). I know Sonos is super janky som

This seems to be mostly non-tech jobs being automated. The expected result of hiring these people is whatever menial work they were doing (not trying to be insulting, menial work is where automation thrives). Tech jobs, are already about au

Learning Esperanto is something that I really want to do, I've just never been able to stick to it. I imagine its because its has no use in my everyday life, and so I tend to brush it off in favor of other things (which admittedly I br

stable !== static Its like a car, you don't keep pressing the accelerator further and further to travel down the road. You find the optimum location to maintain a safe speed. If something changes, like the road turns, you adjust the ac

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. "Better" is subjective anyway. Any change with make some people mad, and no change will make others mad. If your product is stable, that's about the best you can hope for. N

I still don't get it. The ballot is effectively a pivot between the voter and the result. You can't just disconnect this without sacrificing the integrity of the system. If you scramble it so that the vote and the ballot are disco

I agree. I use "What about?" almost daily. It can either be a gentle suggestion, or a request for information. Neither is aggressive, so it works out both ways.

Size. It is more difficult to speak clearly with a larger object, so it forces you to focus a bit more.

It's not really about speed, it's about rhythm, density, presentation style, and audience. When I was in competitive public speaking and debate, I spoke at about 200 wpm. However, those speeches were all pre-scripted to the letter

2-3 fingers vertically in mouth also works in a pinch if you don't have anything else handy. It's really good for those about-to-walk-on-stage moments to induce enunciation.

Same. By hovering, my wrists are never at a bad angle. In fact, looking at my hands right now, I can see them naturally sitting at roughly the same angles as those fancy ergonomic keyboards, despite the keyboard being a cheap flat one.

Yeah, this is my hypothesis. It is just a brute force attack using old email and passwords from previous hacks on other services.

The issue there is that declaring conventional war on someone who is making WMD's means you losing really quickly. So you need WMD's to ensure you can stand against them. And therein lies the entire history of military development

Given that you'll rarely need more than this year, and maybe next year, you can preemptively do some math to make it easier. yearcode = (centurycode + [last two digits of year] + ([last two digits of year] div 4)) mod 7 So thi

I mean, sure. If estimates were used to build timelines, rather than managers trying to negotiate estimates smaller to fit preexisting timelines. And if estimates were used according to their definition, rather than as deadlines passed down
