Didn't think of that angle, but perhaps! Pretty much everything in transportation is being pushed in the direction of centralized control; hence, the focus on EVs and the push against biofuels. The marketing is all "climate change

Fair point! Although a riving knife — which I wish that I had known about when I was younger - shouldn’t be that hard to add.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd love to go through all those "useless" tools. Oh no, Dad's old all-steel table saw that was designed and built to be repaired, and which has the same tolerances as a "precision too

Thank you. The top-level article is unbelievably crass. I have had to deal with this. Sorting through an entire lifetime's worth of knick-knacks, papers, Christmas cards, plaques commemorating achievements and milestones that probably

It is fantastically frustrating, as it makes wealth-building through home ownership impossible. The land will nominally hold its value, but the $300k+ you spend to build a house literally just... vanishes. This might have made sense back

This is a feature, not a bug. Complex systems are best built iteratively. You start small, plan, test, make things work well, and then continuously improve, clean, and polish over time, with a focus on maintainability, otherwise known as &q

I think that stands out from his letter as well. Albini sounds really into the live experience of music, and wants to replicate that as faithfully as possible. As a total aside: Albini's attitude and writing is a breath of fresh air in

The author has neglected to mention that you can find the engine by shouting "Gerald! Gerald!" at the top of your lungs in all directions. This will summon the ancient, exhausted hamster that powers the vehicle.

Turns out that tripling the money supply... increased prices. If only there had been some sort of model or discipline that could have predicted this beforehand.

God, this. I like induction stoves. Easier to clean, and do 90% of what I need doing in a kitchen. Not having to run gas lines is a plus, and for the other 10%, I'm probably working on a grill or using a dedicated burner anyway. But th

The same. I've been pairing for probably close to a decade now, and this guide helped me to reflect on my own style, and gave me a few points to refine as well. As an aside, one of the things I make sure to do with new hires is to cove

The entire guide just worth a read, even if you’re an experienced pair. Lots of great patterns. We do full-time pair programming in my teams, and this guide is part of our “starter pack” for documentation.

Update based on new information: Russia doesn't acknowledge the Ukrainian Foreign Legion (they keep rebranding, not sure what they'll end up sticking with), so if you get captured, the Russians will treat you like a criminal, and

Whoever wants to get in the fight can do so right now . The Ukrainian government looks to have created its own foreign legion, so you'll even technically be fighting under the Ukrainian flag as a uniformed soldier. Enlistment period i

To be fair: the French have some competent forces (FFL), as do the Brits (Royal Marines). I'd put both of those a notch above the Crayola Connoisseurs, and that's saying something. Lotta combat-ready dudes in Bulgaria as well. But

"Best" is subjective. OP could just be a massive fan of being cold and wet.

Exactly this. Anecdotally: Russian outdoor equipment has gotten seriously acceptable in the past few years, and that's not a bad proxy for their military gear. Laugh all you want, but ten years ago, I wouldn't have trusted Ivan to

Depends on grade here in Japan. The top-of-market stuff is 17 EUR (2200 JPY) per large can, bottom of the market is maybe half that?

Ultimately, this is going to backfire. Hard. China and Russia are already working on a SWIFT replacement. All they need to do is not try and use their banks as weapons -- which they don't need to for obvious reasons -- and they're

No, you save that for the essays they write throughout high school. Joking aside, children are not tiny adults, and how you deal with them changes over time. A five-year-old gets rewarded for just doing work, because that's the baselin
