>I have this 2-5/8 tile I need to split in half. Ok, 1-5/16. Contrast that with 2.625 / 2 = 1.3125. The latter is much easier to think about IMO.

Not to reedit Imperial vs Metric, but I asked an American friend why he preferred the former, and he said it was "more intuitive/natural". I always found that answer really strange (how can "next exit 3 3/4 miles&qu

I was going to ask if OP took a sabbatical or something, but then I read he's 17 years old. Good job, OP! I struggle for time even to nail a painting on the wall or install a shelf, yet alone something like this.

Had a similar experience. I was a recent grad, around 10 years ago. A Google recruiter called me out of the blue. After a couple of minutes, she started asking technical questions about Linux, which I had just started using. After a while c

One word (okay several): CGNAT. I've been self hosting happily on my android for years until I moved and my current ISP puts me behind a CGNAT. No way to get around it.

Wow, surprised by the downvotes. I'm genuinely curious to know if this sounds absurd to HN commenters. Are people really starting jobs abroad and relocating in these times?

Termux is such a great piece of software. I've been using it as my primary server[1] for half a year now with no issues and very minimal maintenance. That said, it always kinda felt like a kludge when compared to (ideally) using a full

I'm confused by some of the more inflamed reactions here. YouTube is a private company. They should be able to cater to their customers as they wish. Anything else would be evil government meddling. In a nutshell: freedoms!

Interesting. What part of the world are you talking about? I bet that, with so many moving parts, if there is the slightest problem the whole thing falls apart and unlucky buyers end up cash-strapped and with no apartments to show for it.
