Yes, except most people wind up looking at the leftmost third of the screen the vast majority of the time (see visual heat map research) which results in chronically bad posture with very wide screens.

I went through biochem, but didn’t fully understand just how gigantic & complicated proteins are until I started learning about computational protein folding. There’s several levels of abstraction just between rna/ribosomes and fun

More horizontal space feels natural, but tends to be an ergonomic problem. I could see vertical working better for the spine & shoulders, as long as it isn’t unnaturally narrow.

Successful flipping, as I’ve come to understand it, is basically a general contractor plus capital. In other words, it’s a variation on an existing line of work that allows the gc more control & speed, but it’s still a job, and most of

The idea that even as a locale becomes more desirable it should remain just as affordable is dangerous to our economy.

There’s always problems and always friction. The new shiny doesn’t always help. But I do feel happier when I am able to move to the next level of problem. To spend my time wrestling with more meaningful challenges and less trivialities. Bet

That’s basically what a PWA is, a boring website that continues to work properly on a terrible datalink. It’s not installed, just properly designed & cached.

The native notification channels have a way of forcing good behavior, like AMP. As an end user, the more a rando company desires total control of my notifications, the more I want them confined to a walled garden.

They are over-designed enough that failure is quite uncommon for most people.

As I recall it wasn't "to stick it to the environmentalists", it was simply preservationist thinking. They didn't want something they saw as scarce & useful destroyed, the same way you might prefer to sell your old l

If he wants his legacy to be a newly forged Russian Empire, then maybe yes.

It's a fun idea, but I must say I have discovered quite by chance that an inexpensive toaster oven is the tool for this job - as well as countless other jobs. Not just toasting bruschetta - it's secretly a $60 patio oven, opening

Any time I see it in practice, it always comes across as incredibly condescending and frequently flat-out wrong, because the person attempting to steelman has usually not done the work to understand everything that goes into the other posi

Who sees a Jabra set as flaunt? Aren't they more blackberry than iphone?

This seems like selection bias. Is somebody who has "made it" going to continue striving every day to be the greatest in their field? Personally, I don't think so, which means anybody making 8 figures is by definition someone

Only if you keep pushing speed. At a given speed, the fitter you get the better you feel at that speed. Plus, fresh of the couch everything hurts. Some fit person's lungs might be burning, their legs might feel heavy, but the not-fit

why would you allow cats Ecologically speaking, we shouldn't. But the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak.

Don't feral cats and dogs also pose a threat to ecosystems? Yes. Cats in particular are a disaster. Ecologists have been trying to figure out how to effectively control feral populations and convince people to stop letting domestic c

As I like to think of it, “being yourself” and “becoming a friendlier more approachable version of yourself” are not incompatible.

Not if the US Navy stops caring, which is the whole point . If there is no military to step in, piracy ends massive cargo ships, which ends the current immense economies of scale in shipping.

You don’t have to shut it down or cease production to improve air quality. The relaxed standards suggest this plant is being allowed to operate dirtier than need be.

There seem to exist plenty of people who honestly enjoy the direct sun and find 85 degree heat pleasant. Csa (koppen) is apparently held by many to be the ideal human climate (yet cities in that climate regularly clip 105) I always wonder i
