I get what you're saying, but let's not pretend the modern world isn't meaningfully different. Artificial light is a big factor, yes. So are odd and constantly changing work hours from a world that now operates 24/7. So

Good heavens, the comments on that article make me want to vomit: "Thanks to people with your mindset our streets and borders are not as safe as they should be." This option is made freely available to passengers, but by choosing

I built a browser extension for a hackathon that enabled crypto payments direct to site owners. "registration" was just sticking a formatted payment address in a DNS TXT record, and if you were at a supported website, the extensio

Yes, I have an 8 year old pair of boots that have been through all sorts of conditions, all over the world. And I don't even do anything to maintain them. You can get very good boots for $200.

My association was a bit later, mid to late 2010s. I recognize some of the names as well, including one of the top folks that probably onboarded both of us. That said, my info is not on the list, I assume it was deleted when I left.

My old gym teacher also taught science because we just couldn't find another teacher, and was genuinely surprised to learn there were forms of matter smaller than atoms. My health teacher was a "permanent substitute" situatio

This is pretty much Van Inwagen's argument in Material Beings -- recommended if you haven't read it! Copied from wiki: "Every composite material object is made up of elementary particles, and the only such composite objects a

I was able to find a similar public domain image in all of 5 seconds, so neither faster nor cheaper in this case. In fact, it's not hard to imagine people using AI tools even if they're slower, more expensive, and yield worse qual

There's this FinTech ad on the NYC subway right now. I can't remember the company, but the entire ad is just a picture of a guitar and some text. Anyway, the guitar is AI generated, and it's really bad. There are 5 strings, w

For the curious, it would be something like "makku-fu-ruri" This was my experience in Japan as well. So many words we're used to saying in English use mouth shapes that the Japanese language does not, so you really have to tw

I often can't even find someone with a key to open the cabinets. At my CVS there's usually just a security guard, who can't open the cabinets. If you need detergent, beer, shampoo, razors, or pretty much anything else you&#x2

I learned how to drive stick on an NSX. I also wedged my skateboard in the back window when it was open, causing it to completely shatter when the owner tried to close it. Didn't appreciate what a bone-headed move that was at the time,

While this is a shame, there was neither good content nor engagement. I mean, when you run a search for "DesignerNews", the first sub-result is "DesignerNews is almost dead", which seemed to always be true. I do have a G

The ecosystem sounds no less insane with this answer. I run into "<X> is deprecated, use <Y>" constantly at a dependency level, at a framework level, and at a paradigm level. Also, what's Vite? The React docs ment

Housing type and housing location have a large impact on energy usage. 1000 homes outside of a city requires 1000 cars, and the structure itself will likely not nearly be as energy efficient as a single unit in a larger building. https:&#x

I've just been using an Eames lounge chair for years and it's quite comfortable. At least, I'm slightly reclined rather than constantly hunched over, which is probably the lesser evil. Not a good choice if you have a heavy re
