Oh nice. I've always downloaded from the fonts website, I had no idea they had them hosted on GitHub, that's useful. Thanks.

That was really interesting. Itr's weird to think of how many mundane technologies actually had to be invented, and how things would have worked before. The idea of a boat built without nails is kind of crazy.

It's interesting watching discussions about this from the UK. The last stat I can find was that around 25% of people do some or all of their grocery shopping online. Most of the time it works really well. Here, most of the supermarkets

I think this is why the Couch-to-5k plan seems to work pretty well for a lot of people at the early stages. Just that gradual increase in distance/time each time you run, and a couple of months later you're running for 30 minutes&

Sounds like the up-in-the-air version of (mostly) middle-age guys getting motorbikes that are just too damn powerful for their level of experience and then getting killed.

I think flexibility is the key. All the things that are touted as pros and cons of both WFH and office working are highly dependent on the individual, the company, the type of work, people's housing situation, disability, and many smal

"best long-lasting & cheap" is spot on. Often, getting the very best is not worth it, no matter how long they might last. We had a lot of work done on our house a few years back, and every one of tradesmen used Makita. I asked

Not a geologist, but I rember reading something about this a while back, so this might be BS. I believe it's because the water being pulled down at the subduction zones (where one plate gets forced down under another) help lubricate th

I think this may be a British English specific thing, but we use the word "deprivation" fairly interchangeably with "poverty".

On this subject, does anyone have any suggestions for games that would work for a small group of 5-6 year olds? Guess Who and Battleships would obviously work well for one-on one, but something for three or four would be good.

Wow, downvoted for asking a question. I wanted to understand more about the situation itself, but the writer's obsession with the NYT (to the exclusion of every other news outlet that is not covering this situation) was weird. I was cu

What's the obsession with the NYT specifically, in contrast to other news outlets? It made the post rather irritating to read. I'm not American, so I feel like I'm missing the significance that might be obvious to everyone el

Yeah, my contract is similar. Anything that's somehow a direct competitor or related would be covered, but other projects would be just fine.

Also the official site appears to be struggling with all the interest, so perhaps the mods decided to go with the working NYT.

Yeah, this really read as a long winded way of saying "I want to be more important, so we sold our soul (and source of revenue) to make that happen". It stinks and his justification was cringeworthy to read.

I knew that the new reddit site was terrible (and keeps getting worse), but just under 15mb for a website is insane.

Well now I feel old... I'm having flashbacks to reading .net magazine and my (dead tree) index of the web.

He was such an odd character. On the one hand he is clearly smart enough to have drawn in enough people into MLM crap that he's a millionaire, and yet he fell for OneCoin.

Sadly OneLife seems to be powering on. The most depressing part of listening to that podcast was the last episode, when they went to somewhere in Africa (I forget where), and talked to people getting caught up in it. It's spread around

For those thinking of going to Petra, do yourself a favour and make sure you have at least a day to explore, the whole site is huge. We were there for two days and there was probably more we could have seen. However if you are not in modera

It's the same simplistic interpretation of financial frugality, or just plain old sound money management. People like to present is as hair-shirts and gruel, and depriving yourself for no reason other than the accumulation of wealth fo

That's terrible :/ The "birthday paradox" means you need just 23 people before you have a 50% chance of a collision, and 70 gets you 99.9%...

I once met a guy whose name is Tree. That's it, just Tree. I cant imagine how often he must encounter systems that get tripped up by that.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for what you and your colleagues do. I honestly don't know if I could work in a field like that without just being overwhelmed by it, but I'm really glad that others can and do.

One of my tutors at uni would get us to do presentations on old papers. I remember one that described a novel very early GUI system. They built the hardware by basically wiring two machines together at the bus level (one was essentially the

You'd be surprised. There are contexts in the embedded world where very price conscious customers will require a max price per part, limiting younto a particular size of PIC microcontroller. Its certainly a lot rarer than it used to be

Assuming that users, customers, or employers will proactively tell you when there is a problem is the source of a lot of poor quality products, services and work environments. Many times that I've stayed in hotels there has been some s

Near us, Tyntesfield is great. There is an obstacle course type one down by one of the cafes, then there are three on a trail up in the woods. Some are more structured than others. We've taken to using NT sites as breaks on long journe
