I was thinking about this recently, the way to do is to define a radius, and then imagine rolling a circle of that radius around the outside of the coastline (or around the inside! Define that as well) and then take the length of the equiva

There's a time and a place for it. If you already know exactly what the program needs to do, then sure, design a user interface. If you are still exploring the design space then it's better to try things out as quickly as possible

by jstanley 6mo ago
The idea that a blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp one is a total fallacy. Every time I've cut myself on a knife, it's been because it was too sharp, not because it was too blunt. In the limit, a blunt knife is a sphere an

That fact that something is hard to do is not what makes it valuable. It's hard to dig really big holes in the ground all day at random, but it's not valuable.
