I feel like the tech user community has completely lost the plot sometimes. Remember when we had to listen to Windows users complaining about irritating OS behaviour (performance problems, BSOD, ribbons, clippies, Activation Keys, terrible

My method for that is: - I need 200g - Bars are 160g - So I need 1 bar + 40g - 40g is 25% of 160g (this one's easy, but precision is rarely critical -- and if you think it is, ask Siri) - So I need 1 bar + 1/4 bar

Photos are an interesting idea. I'm one of the freaks who does not carry their phone on their person at all times, so it would be less convenient for me (until I join the 20th C at least), although more convenient for the rest of the h

This will vary depending on the type of cooktop you have, and whether you have a 240V kettle. Electric coil cooktops, and 120V kettles are the slowest. Gas/induction cooktops, and 240V kettles are the quickest.

Agreed on jars. We use Weck and Ball for different purposes, and truly love them. It's odd to be so attached to trivial chunks of silicon, and we're not attached to them as individuals but I appreciate them every single day. I s

Not GP, but we do the same. Branches become the atomic unit of bisection in master, but the need is extremely rare. I think because we have good tests. We also keep merged branches around. This has never happened, but if we needed to bisect

Please don't imagine that I don't fully understand this. Nevertheless, X11 "server" and "client" have confused very smart and highly technical people. I have had the entertainment of explaining it dozens of tim

I think the confusion is obvious, given a little empathy for the range of people who use computers. The server is usually a remote machine, especially back in the time when "client-server" architecture was emerging in mainstream (

(tangent) This is true, although entertainingly, the "server" part has always been easily confused. In X11, the "server" runs on your local machine, and the "client" frequently runs on a remote system.

A failure of reading comprehension, or a visceral reaction to a generalized statement that pertains to you personally, does not make one dumb. Defending your mistakes doesn't either, but I can understand the confusion. Happy holidays.

Modern fire trucks, and police cars usually, are built to be able to push vehicles out of the way. It's a very common need. (Not an argument against Waymo doing better in this situation though!)
