FWIW mine need a wash after ~4-6 wearings or they smell. I haven't tried the vodka-spritzing trick I've read about, though, which may let them go longer. How they're stored probably affects it some. I have better results hang

I felt that way as a kid (wait, can I please just wear my "dress clothes" all the time? These jeans suck !) through my early 20s, but I'm back on jeans now and they're not uncomfortable. Might be a body shape thing (tha

How does one nail down sizing on stuff like this? I imagine returns to a Japanese-only store from a US address, for someone who doesn't speak Japanese, and crossing a cultural barrier for how sales/service should work, are nightma

I think it's still fairly useful. It provides an interesting framework for understanding Trump's tastes—or, maybe, the taste he projects in order to market specifically to prole and middle ( not upper-middle or higher) people who

Add in the bonus confusion that you may not have even been trying to run vim, and in fact may not know what it is (hey, everyone's a beginner some time), but have landed there due to a default $EDITOR value. [EDIT] also, a typical mi

Because the question was: > What connector do you think you'll need in two years, five years, 10 years? And my answers were USB-A, both, and USB-C (but probably also whatever replaces it), respectively. Your response to my answer

Sure, but most of my USB-A stuff will still be fine in 2 years, and much of it in 5. I won't have acquired enough USB-C things in 2 years to care much about it.

Getting everything set up so I can efficiently Internet diet 6-6.75 days a week—not just phone diet—is one of the things on my todo list that I'm not getting done because I'm doing other stuff on the Internet all the time, haha.

Road wear isn't linear with weight. Estimates I've seen put a heavy 18-wheeler at the equivalent of more than 9,000 cars traveling over the same stretch of road. Way, way more than 5x the damage (6mpg vs 30mpg).

Trucks do disproportionately more damage do the roads than they pay in taxes for fuel, though. You're subsidizing trucking every time you fuel up your passenger vehicle.

What's your point? Obviously developer pay is enviable. That's the problem (for management). High-status pay risks translating into actual high-status, with the influence and autonomy that implies. Hence the very low-status work

Definitely part of it. Businesses are afraid developers will come to regard themselves, and to be regarded, as real professionals, like doctors, lawyers, some categories of engineer (god forbid they stop cowering around the MBAs or start qu

I think it's under-appreciated how shifts in culture and behavior affect the practical liberty of the individual. We worry about government limiting us, but the mass choices of uncoordinated individuals can just as easily curtail our
