The UK is also at least level 1 and gets near level 2 (which somewhat undercuts the articles points about culture, language, and colonisation).

I think there may be a difference in thinking that underlies the difference in opinion here. In my experience, having a header file nudges you to think about interface being a _different thing_ to implementation - something that (because yo

There’s a thorough explanation of the history of the poem and the research that went into rediscovering the author of the poem and [re?]producing the ‘final’ version presented in the article - scroll down to after the poem. The conclusion i

There are over three hundred million people in the USA. If you search - or are in a suitable bubble - there are ‘a lot of anecdotes on X’ about most anything imaginable.

This really surprised me: from a paragraph near the end: It's one of the reasons I've stuck around Imgur so long - there's an extremely diverse, and supportive community. I had no idea that there was this kind of community

Lots of people have a Facebook account just to use Marketplace, at least in my area.

It also doesn’t seem to respect the distance filter. I’m not one for conspiracy theories usually, but I’m pretty sure the state of Marketplace search is, if not ‘deliberate’, at least a result of metrics-driven development. The search resul

This is presented as revolutionary, but it’s not clear to me that the results would’ve been any different if they’d surveyed the older generations at the same age.

I love this idea. I used break enforcing software for a long time, but got into a routine of just pressing the ‘snooze’ button in order to avoid the break if I was into something. I feel the text box idea might’ve helped avoid that.

I think people underestimate just how much “weird techiness” having two ‘@‘ signs creates. It’s (whether it ‘should’ be or not) immediately unapproachable.

I’m usually less worried about microplastics than many (human lifespan is at the longest it’s ever been, and people are healthy at older ages than ever - things can’t be that bad overall), but weed eater string is a pet peeve of mine. We’re

Our current structure does not allow the Board to directly consider the interests of those who would finance the mission and does not enable the non-profit to easily do more than control the for-profit. I kind of thought that was the poin

It’s truly a building (and plaza) that has to be experienced in person to appreciate it. It certainly provokes emotion. An amazing place I’m glad to have experienced. But I’m also glad that most of the world is not like it.

I have seen stereotype threat mentioned in educational contexts - justifying the idea that, for example, it’s important not to make (deliberately or inadvertently) things like coding or engineering seem stereotypically masculine. Usually th

This seems incredibly pessimistic to me. Do you really not expect things to last for over ten years? In my experience most electronic things - and especially things that are simple and solid with no wear and tear like an AirTag - easily las

Can someone explain this in lay-person’s terms? I feel like I read and ‘understood’ the text of the blog post, but I’m still none the wiser about what sort of things this can prove and what the values of those proofs is.

The question actually asked is also published. It was: Suppose that you have an emergency expense that costs $400. Based on your current financial situation, how would you pay for this expense? If you would use more than one method to cove

You’re asking me to defend a position I don’t entirely agree with now, which is always dangerous… I believe the argument is that deliberately killing another person is always wrong. It does’t matter if it’s in self defense - taking a life i

I think many would argue that all deaths by shootings are murder - even if it’s in self defense, and perhaps especially if society grants more power, in the form of immunity, to one ‘side’. I didn’t want to open that can of worms. Even the

Perhaps I made my point a little tactlessly - what I meant to imply is that people shouldn’t live in fear of this. While it happens too often, it’s still extremely uncommon.

Around 1000 people per year, which I absolutely agree is terrible - but at the same time, the population is over 300,000,000 so it stretches the meaning of the word to call it ‘regular’. https://www.statista.com/statistics&#

Those are either going to (metal) scratch my non-stick pans, which I’m also told (on scant evidence I believe) causes cancer, or they’re (wood) going to be inflexible and hard to wash (can’t dishwasher them), which is inconvenient.

Are you sure this is the same thing? The word ‘petroleum’ is not in the paper you link. Naively, I would think the paper you linked is about carbon (the charcoaley substance) derived from vegetables being used as a black food coloring, and
