I think that has already lived, died, and we are now haunted by it's ghost. How many hipster woodworkers are on Instagram producing various designs that are fever-dream versions of arts-and-crafts furniture (which was itself an aesthet

This doesn't square for me at all, or for many of the people I know. Granted, I don't live in SV, but I and most of the people I know in tech have a pretty relaxed working environment 90% of the time, far more than comparable posi

Seconding swimming, just make sure you have good form. Also, if you’re having musculoskeletal issues, maybe pick a couple different activities and do them in rotation. Diversity in workouts is good if your objective is to stay healthy/

If you read what Linus himself had to say about it, it seems like BBC was honoring his interest in not having this piece contribute to the shouting match.

This is a somewhat minor point, but it surprised me that the edit: Danish reserve requirement has been raised to 1%. In the US, it's at roughly 10% and has historically been between 8 and 12% for large banks. Does anyone more familia

1) autarchic and autocratic mean two different things. The word you’re looking for is autocratic. 2) The US is a democracy, is pretty diverse in terms of opinions, and the US government does things that the people don’t like (just like in C
