Left hand side vs right hand side has a really complicated history. A lot of Europe was left hand side first as well, although I just learned from Wikipedia that that might be myth: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-

Yet, even so, the advice they give can still be true. It may be that they just want to help others and also in the process help themselves. The advices given in the article ring true to me, so it really felt like reading something I already

I don't understand how this is different from a wiki. I think that wikipedia already contains the collective knowledge from a vast amount of people and, dare I say it, is already the knowledge base of humanity. Can you explain a bit mo

Well, the four colors might have been controversial but five colors is something that can be proven by hand. Still, four or five doesn't matter for the points in the article. Keeping fewer connections between objects/modules is so
