I feel adults have been unwilling to listen to the problems of teenagers for ever in fact. Teenage years are a difficult age, and it's really remarkable how many people I know seem to think of teenagers as spoiled, indisciplined child

Based on what do you say this? I have my browser set to non-geographically specific, and when I ask programming questions to it, there are many, many answers in chinese and japanese. If the programming languages statements themselves were i

I'm just here to say that the plural of status is not "statii", not even in Latin. Status is a noun of the (relatively rare) fourth declension, and its Latin plural is "status" itself.

The opposite for me. I used to be able to turn around on my chair and have a chat with my supervisor who sat just behind me. If other people were needed, we could just be like "Philip, can you come over a second, we have a question&quo

The experience seems to be the same for us in northern Italy. When I was in high school, about 12 years ago, there was some homophobia and, even if I knew my friends would have supported me, I hesitated to come out for a long time, simply b

Allow me a slight OT, I've just finished cleaning up a simple tool for syncing Zotero with your reMarkable and would love some feedback: https://github.com/martinosorb/zoteroRemarkable Note that this is a fork of

I quite enjoy the description of gifts and mutual affection, but nothing in this article is new or surprising -- not sure if I'm more familiar than the average reader with queer history or everybody will feel the same. It's in gen

My main complaints are two: - It takes 4-5 clicks to create a meeting and share the URL, which is what I want to do most of the time, multiple times a day. I end up preferring Skype (when with only 1-2 other people) just because of the hass

The US is not poorer than Sweden, unlike the other countries mentioned. It's just that the US doesn't want to spend money on that. They like to keep their soaring inequalities.

But that's my point, in the UK this is something that is associated to posh, but it shouldn't be.

Yes but Waitrose is not widespread. It's a high-end supermarkets that you find near posh residential neighbourhoods, and not everybody can afford it. I agree that the quality there is good.

I'm Italian and I lived in Britain for a while. I would say there's a very large variability in quality, and it depends on the context. First of all, Brits mostly don't eat "traditional British". In Italy people eat

"This will make everything on the screen slightly bigger, leaving you (slightly!) less screen estate. This is expected. My opinion is, a notebook is a constrained environment by definition. Extra 15% won’t magically turn it into a huge

This is understandably a gray area, and a matter of debate. But "tyrants" is certainly not the right word. I cannot speak for this individual case, but in many countries it's forbidden to damage, sell, tear down protected bui

I used PyCharm for a while, and got frustrated at all the tons of things that it tries to do "smartly". There is a shitton of buttons everywhere, and I ended up using breakpoint() anyway because I couldn't figure out how the

I've been to a 1950s decomissioned nuclear research reactor in Italy. It's still being monitored even if it's been turned off for years; with the addition of a few computers in a corner, the control room still looks pretty mu
