Getting buy-in from your own parents is a giant hurdle, because they need to dedicate a huge portion of their personal time to schooling you. That's not an easy undertaking. I have not seen any efforts in developing materials that chil

No, that's just a small niche. Shaming barefoot people is now a national pastime. Especially in airplanes and offices.

I've never experienced wealth being associated with genius. That idea seems alien to me. In which circles does this happen?

I can guarantee you wouldn't be making that comment if the post title was "Why don't more people code in machine language"? But because it's a diy project, it somehow makes it laudable, even though it's a terri

I loved reading Shakespeare in school too, even as an ESL student. Reading Early Modern English was really fun, and perhaps what made me love the language.

I don't remember printers having ink back then. They were all laser. Inkjets came later, but they were seen as toys to print large banners.

That's obvious, as most walls in US are just drywall. You can kick your way into a house without touching any doors or breaking any glass. Houses in the US aren't made to prevent break ins. If you want to prevent a break in, firs

TRT has its disadvantages, such as (1) you have to take it for the rest of your life, and (2) a higher risk of certain cancers. It sounds a bit scary, to be honest.

That there is no blocker doesn't mean there is isn't one. I am as optimistic as they come, but let's look at much smaller problem: modeling an arbitrary analog circuit with DSP. The Nyquist theorem implies it's impossibl

My high school started at 8:30 twenty years ago, and it was hell waking up to be there on time. Cut a period and let kids go in at 10am. 9:30am at the earliest. This, of course, will never happen. Even if it did happen, school at 10 implies

I just checked and you are right, my M1 Air has a glass trackpad too. However, the trackpad on the 14" MBP is much smoother and more responsive; I thought it the difference was glass vs non-glass. It must be something else.

Finally, Apple has seen the light! This is going to be an instabuy for many, including me. This feels like 2012 when Apple introduced Retina displays: Everything that's good about Apple in a single package, and unavailable at any price

In my view, the ribbon was an incredible UX innovation; I just resent Microsoft for patenting it. A ribbon could improve so much software. Don't forget that cascading menus are an antipattern. What's not to like? Common functions
