Feels like half the team left already, and they've yet to replace anyone, so work gets dumped on us. No real commitment to remote work, let alone mask policy. Won't or can't get rid of unproductive folks. Just doesn't

Chess?! That's my most pointless hobby! I guess it's a matter of perspective. Sometimes I feel doing my own yard / auto work is a waste of time, that an hour of my work could pay an hour of theirs, but as long as I can draw

Nope! Many are 2WD (RWD), perhaps even most depending on the area. Some are full-time 4WD, but many have the manual 4WD selector 2H-4H-4L.

In GA, with .25 acre of centipede, I'd say it's about 2 hrs/wk with heavy rain & sun (like recently). Less rain, 2 hrs / 3 wks. Push mower, slow & steady pace (it grows so thick, I can't just power walk it

The code snippet in the made-up language is certainly interesting. You know, with more judicious use of the graph paper, sprinkle in some OCR and you might could run the hand-written version one day. The typed version maybe something like

You raise an interesting point. I'd definitely want to test them under water main break scenarios, when a bunch of mud and sand &c make their way through the lines. A clear inspection port (whole side, really) would be super co

They're not necessarily confusing, but "constant variable", "local import", "randomized sorts" probably all sound weird to outsiders. Also, I wonder where "linting" came from (de-linting?). Som

819!? 819 is not a lot of movies. Some folks over on Criticker [1] have thousands of reviews. Think 15,000. I myself have reviewed 440, and I've never seen a lot of well-known movies. To say "no more" after 819 just se

I've recently dipped my toe into APL, and I tend to agree. APL only really advances from lines of ASCII text to lines of Unicode text . It's still very line-oriented. If Unicode expands toward Tex/LaTeX/&c it co

Rubber with embedded steel wire is less stretchy than the rubber bands we're used to. Tires even more so than belts; it adds integrity like rebar in concrete. You're correct that once it jumps even 0.5cm (~1 tooth) it could touch
