Because they are the best quality, in every dimension, and when something is almost purely a hobby then many people are willing to pay a premium for a friction-free experience. There are other brands that are just fine, but you will occasio

I wonder how many people will use the headline to defend chromebooks without reading the article itself...

How many other people here wouldn't know how to answer most of these questions if asked? I've thought about this on/off for an hour and I simply don't know how to answer most of these questions.

I've never seen that happen. I have seen it give optimistic numbers, which are dozens of miles short of GPS trip logs, and worse in moderate cold. When you say "this is information you can trivially look up", not only does th

I didn't say I preferred macos or that things "being broken" was a problem. I honestly have no clue how you came away with those ideas.

Funny enough, I use Emacs because it feels like I don't have to spend as much tinkering to make it do what I want. I am a lisp dev though, so that factors in to the fluidity of the experience for me :)

I know this is going to come off as snarky or dismissive, but please believe me that it's not intended that way. I just can't come up with a better way to say it: No. I'm too focused on my work to care much. I used to waffle

You can't disentangle nature from nurture with some sets of twins as they are both in play. That's part of why it's fascinating to see both with strong simultaneous reinforcement, and similarly when the "nurture" pa

I love working and do it even if my needs would otherwise be met by public subsidies (I am disabled, obviously and legally). It helps that I'm paid for work that I'd otherwise been doing, but I have a decent history of working le

Fill the salt? Configure for water hardness? I've never heard of either of these things before. Certainly not things on my, relatively fancy, dishwasher.

Eh. I street race, and I've been doing it since the late 90s. I've been in MA, NC, SC, VA, FL, OH, MO, and all around them frequently during that time. It's _way_ easier to find events of some sort now. They're more orga

I've rarely had to say more than "no thank you". It's never been awful.

You don't need to learn Java, only be aware of it. Nubank has 100(0?)s of devs that don't know Java at all and successfully use Clojure. Even if your assumption is true, what's wrong with that? A language which offers more va

This is often a question asked by non-lisp devs. It's not Clojure specific - you just use the code itself. Open a REPL, and start working. You can just execute the code in realtime as you're refactoring. The size of the codebase i

There's no need for a "project" to learn clojure. By time you get to the point of wanting one, you should probably know what a map looks like. You inserted extra {} in your example, a similar mistake would also break a JSON f

Many people with aphasia have memory issues, or are in the early stages of dementia. I don't know about Bruce Willis' situation particularly, but it's not a stretch to assume some level of memory defect in those with aphasia.

Online games often: - are how players make their living in cash tournaments - qualify for OTB events (including wct events) - are rated by FIDE or national organizations - count for points in otb/online hybrid tournaments. All of those

He admitted to having previously cheated. The admission happened during the Sinquefeld cup, on stream, during the event. Having cheated in prior history is not a question, but the extent and recency of the behavior is.

He did cheat in impactful events, and he admitted it.

For me, they taste nearly identical with a different texture. There's a bitterness that they share which overwhelms everything. Most people don't seem to notice it, but I've met a few with the same experience.

The OP said saws and hammers, and there are conferences on hand tools which largely focus on saws, hammers and hand planes. If we want to be literal then I don't know of anything on _just_ saws and hammers, but in the quite adjacent sp

We absolutely do have those conferences! I've been to dozens. Lots of idealists and evangelicals in the woodworking world as well, probably more so than any other world I've been in. Makes technology look fairly tame.

Yes, there is a divide in the ecosystem for existing projects and knowledge, however new projects have a choice between two excellent, well documented and capable toolchains with sizable populations. I understand that as a beginner this is

tools.deps, which is mentioned above, is the official solution. It's been around for more than a few years.
