Small correction: you can put it almost anywhere. If you have a quoted search, you need a space between the bang syntax and the quotes, even if the bang syntax comes after. For example, if you search for ["foobar"!g] (without br

In the past few years, I've gradually come to realize how much batteries (in anything) can actually cost me in things other than just upfront monetary price. For example, even if a corded $THING costs as much as its cordless counterpar

I will preface everything with: if you don't see yourself getting value out of vim... don't use it. It's that simple. Vim has been one of the greatest things in my life for most of my life, but that doesn't mean it will

Resins aren't always perfectly still when curing. Especially if you need large volumes of the stuff. Not to mention, time becomes a factor pretty quickly. The faster the cure for the resin, the more exothermic it is (along with higher

As someone from NC with a LOT of family from eastern NC specifically, I'd like to provide an addendum to "bless your heart". I see it frequently cited as always meant sarcastically/disingenuosly. It certainly can mea

I'm not at all condoning the behavior of corporations, but the corporation itself is no more capable of having malice for you than a tornado or meteor. A corporation's appearance of hostility is a byproduct of its primary function

You're alluding to the benefits of building interfaces to what people are already familiar with, but touchscreens are still a learned behavior. There is nothing about our physiology that affords anything with a touchscreen beyond touch

It's the same reason we did a slingshot maneuver rather than just point a rocket straight at the moon: leverage. Metaphorically, you use time as a fulcrum to exchange a larger total travel distance for not dealing with as much gravity

His point wasn't anything specific about landing on the moon or even the details of the mission. At least not the main point from what I can tell. He had the opportunity to stand in front of involved decision makers and demonstrate t

Nobody has perfect 100% individual choice/freedom. By itself, maximizing for it is a non-argument. The best explanation I've heard is that "my rights end where yours begin (and vice versa)". That is not an easy line to d

By itself, sure. It's a litmus test of sorts. It's kinda like how I judge most for-profit businesses based on the checkout experience. Usually (there are certainly valid exceptions), the process of me giving them money is what I

There is a (very small) link at the bottom for "Add Listing". Looks like you have to create a login to submit and manage listings. I'm not sure if it's intended for business owners to do it since that also seems to be fo

Repairability and build simplicity were a big factor for me purchasing the Meze 99 Classics. I can't say how long they'll end up lasting, but you can visibly see almost every screw in them. Even if I can't find Meze-branded r

It's definitely good advice to be mindful of one's needs. I have my own personal anecdotes about getting burnt by underestimating my actual needs when attempting projects like daily driving an older laptop. At the same time, kee

I ran into this sort of issue with the Steam Deck, too. Initially ordered a slower-but-still-recommended cheaper SD card. Figured I could deal with the slower write speeds as that should just mean slower downloads. I loved the Steam Deck fr

Largely off-topic, but I've had so much fun and luck getting old lenses to use with my mirrorless camera[0]. I've been able to get several lenses from random brands for an average price of like $15 apiece. Mirrorless cameras work

I certainly have a price at which I will sell out, but if they aren't offering "retire decade(s) earlier than normal", it's unlikely to make a long term difference to me compared to the alternatives. Yes, a 20% bump for

I see it as a bit of both. Labels can and absolutely do help people in the ways you describe. You might be down about a certain characteristic of yours until you discover others like yourself. What once made you feel like an outcast is now

I'm not sure how anecdotal evidence for something failing (or not) changes this. Even if 1 in every 1000 of a model of car (0.1%) is expected to experience a flaw, that could be more than enough to issue a recall. But that means that y

Excellent point. I'd say there are edge cases to viewing a website too, but the claiming the general case falls under some sort of copyright-adjacent protection is bunk. A bit more nuanced: not loading in the ad on a news site is a

Right. If I request they snail mail me a copy of some document, they are free to reject the request. However, if they send me the document, I am free to tear off pieces or color on it with crayons.

Great points, but I'd like to draw attention to the distinction between pirating media and doing so safely . It used to be that either one required a bit of know-how, but I've personally seen cases where the barrier to entry is l
