Murphy's law is a more humorous way of saying the same thing. "If something can go wrong it will go wrong." There are earlier references - but Murphy's Law is associated with high g-force testing just after WWII. The tea

The pockets don't get in the way when I sit because the pocket is just below the waist. I started with the Silhouette 3 piece yoga pattern (which has a side panel) and made the pocket horizontal. It seems to me you can take an off-the

For women the problem is worse since we are too curvy to use the exact location of pockets even when clothes are baggy. I find the solution interesting even for women. I solved the same problem by putting the pockets horizontally at the wai

About a year ago I surveyed the available OCR packages for receipts. This was for pristine scans (not the crumpled scan you have in your image). In my survey all OCRs failed except google cloud OCR! If there is another OCR that works I woul

I have a rental property in Santa Cruz county that came up for rent in June. I talked to the property manager about the rental market and he said he was getting calls from people who work in San Francisco but want to live in Santa Cruz! So

The expectation of feeling welcomed is part of the problem. Is stack overflow an information sharing community or a social community? Is it wikipedia for programmers or reddit? The fact that most people don't comment at all indicates t

In the Syprine case, the company was convicted of price fixing by the US supreme court. The company changed its name and then just continued with the same business practices. No hands were really slapped. Companies are made up of people - s

I downvoted your original post because it was the top post. It did not answer the OP's original question. It should be one of the answers but not the top answer. You should to some extent enjoy what you are doing particularly when what

I am surprised nobody is talking about the math part of the story. For me - I had the exact same experience with topology as the author. I was taking a normal math class and in the middle of the normal class the professor started talking ab

It is interesting that my comment got both upvoted and downvoted. I didn't know that people on hacker news knew that much about sewing! I will just say what I thought was too technical to say. I have actually sewn sleeves and have done

It also looks like the top two horizontal stripes on the back are matching the vertical stripes on the sleeve rather than the horizontal stripes on the sleeve. I would be more convinced if the example was a striped coat rather than a plaid

There is very little work just a lot of waiting. I also bake the Ken Forkish recipe. It is a no-kneed bread recipe. The trick I figured out is to invest in a danish dough whisk - then I whisk it in the bowl instead of pinching. I also let

From personal experience Cromix was written in 6502 assembly language. The comments were all in C but personal computers were not fast enough to run a C OS in 1979. I doubt it was licensed since they reverse engineered the API (which is leg

The most that would have happened is Bell Labs would have shut down the clones. There were already Unix clones in 1979. I worked on Cromix at Cromemco before I worked on Mesa/XDE at Xerox. If I remember correctly nobody outside Xerox u

I was surprised that Samsung was not on the list. It must be that Samsung is not popular in Canada. We bought the Samsung washer because it was highly rated by Consumer Reports. Boo on Consumer Reports. Our washer was defective from the fac

You used to be able to buy high quality CPAP machines on Amazon. I don't see them any more. There are also streamlined processes to get the prescription. You take the machine home over night and they monitor your breathing remotely. Ye

I would like a computer system that can do algebraic reductions. This is the only thing that forced me to go back to pen and paper. This looks like it does substitutions but I didn't see reductions.

While you are correct about Adobe Type 1 fonts, you are incorrect on display fonts. Apple System 7 had vector display fonts. There were issues on windows which is why Microsoft (and likely Adobe) improved TrueType. Adobe later responded wit

The original truetype font was vector based but had to be legible at small font sizes. Apple created hinting in the late 1980s that worked well on macs. I believe Microsoft added better rasterization about a decade later.

The bigger issue is going from Salaried to Hourly employees. I assume (but don't know) that you need to be hourly in order to unionize. I have been at a bunch of companies that reclassified employees from salaried to hourly. This alway

Sadly these maps still have our driveway as a "road." Years ago I heard that Apple was going to use OSM data for their map app. I contacted OSM to remove our driveway. They did demote our driveway to a "private road" (th

Just a small additional comment - if a company creates an environment that encourages community then they will keep women. I was lucky to work at two companies like this - Xerox and early Apple. I don't think they set out to create a f

Labor force does count the actual workforce. They only count "wage slaves". One grandmother was a farmer. She took over from my grandfather when he got sick and he became the house husband. So she would not have been counted. I am

Non-working mothers is a modern anomaly. It used to be a sign of wealth for a man to have a non-working wife. That is why the newly affluent men of the mid-20th century wanted it so much. They came out of the great depression, fought a grea
