Mine also hit the alt and command/windows keys depending on which they are paired with. That said, despite the opposable thumb's usefulness in grabbing things, it's the least dexterous of the fingers for most people.

I got a really sweet carbon fiber bicycle from the coins I mined. Figured there was no way they'd ever go higher than 20$ and it was basically free money. Looking back, sure, I could have retired on that sum if I'd held it, but

I get the arguments that Meta is forced to defend it's claim it's not being anticompetitive, but isn't part of a small business like SimulaVR's sole competitive advantage being secretive with it's plans because it d

If that's the case, isn't that still crappy manager, if the manager below can't make the decisions necessary?

That would make sense as all of those are the same plant, just harvested at different times and treated differently.

I used to fix machines at an insurance company in Wisconsin that was so big people rode those tricycles with baskets all down the hallways.

I think they are uncommon because torx drivers are always bigger than the head of the tool. They always taper down to the size as part of the design, so that doesn't work well for most applications.

You're forgetting the effect of exertion on the rider under heavy loads like climbing. I've ridden heavy bikes, and I've ridden light bikes. Light bikes feel better, rotational weight mattering more than anything else.

I am an out of shape former racer who has ridden his bike 10 times in the last two years. I have a dad belly and rarely work out at all. I recently did The Rift this summer - a 200km gravel race here in Iceland that people come from all o

Plenty of reasons. For many companies the transition to remote during covid was a massive drop in performance of their staff. For developers, IT and the like, most of us had some experience, if not had already transitioned, but in those in

It's also a more likely type of crash to occur. Not many cases where one would square off the hit straight on, I'd imagine rather most cases at least one occupant is trying to avoid the crash by moving to the right.

I have an inexpensive surround sound system from Sony with a soundbar on my TV. I enjoy it a lot when we're watching movies. For everything else I use a JBL plastic covered bluetooth speaker. I used to be really into speaker quality,

yeah, 90% of what I use it for is my internal group from my work friends about who's taking what shift on my side job, and Volkswagen repair groups - which are an absolute gold mine of experience and info.

Yeah... I had to scroll 9 posts down to find one from a single friend. uBlock running. That trick hasn't worked in a long time, in fact I've had that same URL as my bookmark for years.

Unless you work for an incredibly benevolent company, "library author" means you're doing that on your own time, outside of what provides for your income. Many of us are quite capable of writing libraries, and likely do so in

Kind of a waste of so much coding effort to turn off half your audience with a forced sign up and such a weird message like "guest play has been deprecated".

The mountains I climb nearby can have the trails erased or dramatically altered by rainfall. The marked route can become dangerous when going slightly off trail can be entirely safe. We also don't have "foliage" in Iceland :

Or just set expectations before you start. This entire debate is solved by mutual agreement of expectations. Communication solves these problems, and even if unexpected situational changes occur that might change the plan, communicating th

I hike at least 2-3 times a week, over what I'd consider difficult to the point of being just under needing specialized equipment or training to do. I often bring newcomers with me. There are many times me going ahead a bit to scout

Interestingly enough, as an experienced cyclist, many of the group rides I go on are "stay at the pace of the slowest rider, other than on climbs". On climbs of any reasonable difficulty it can actually feel worse to go slower th

it has to be pretty small, even amongst those who dive. My wife dives for a living and in thick gloves she can barely use her big analog Citizen. Not only that, I can't imagine how fast she'd break the face on it. I would guess

I think you hit the nail on the head here. I am a lot more understanding at this later stage in my career when someone shows me a big ball off spaghetti in a project. I don't know why decisions were made, what trade offs for time or

Normal, yes. The nice thing about forgotten knowledge is that it's much easier to jog the memory and get it back than to learn it from nothing. You likely still use a lot of the fundamental concepts without realizing it. I am someone

The article sensationalizes the topic by putting "voluntary" in quotes. Per their contract, it's not voluntary if no one volunteers, it is mandatory, and then people are chosen by seniority and classification. So yes, people

I too have primarily commuted in city traffic by bike for decades until recently (moved to an island). I've been hit by both cars and trucks. Back home I have two VW cars - a golf, and an Atlas. The Atlas has far superior visibility,

I don't disagree with that. My current office people keep about 6 hour workdays, including their lunch break. We're also multi-national so overlap is usually where shit gets done. I have many days where the bulk of my productiv

That's more of a respect for your coworkers thing than a remote vs. office thing though? Headphones on meant leave me alone in every shop I've been to. I also, personally, rarely have extended periods of just coding. The value I

Ah, that explains it. We went to Mallorca last year (from Iceland where I've lived for a few years after leaving the US) and I was SUPER excited about McD's breakfast, only to find they sold nothing but burgers :(

I am convinced that in office software teams produce more and better code overall than remote ones do. I am remote now and go to my office about a week every two months, and those weeks tend to be ones I can rally the team to get big initi
