The confusing and nonsensical (not immediately obvious by typing ls and reading) folder structure in unix/linux/etc has always been one of my biggest complaints with it as an operating system. I consider it to be a warning about t

The problem with the mop feature is that it completely defeats the purpose of having an unattended robot keep your whole house clean, since you have to constantly refill the water reservoir, and it can't transition between carpet and h

I'm so glad that I installed a reverse osmosis water filter two weeks ago (completely unrelated to the pandemic). It has been amazing! When the toilet paper shortages started happening, I used them as an excuse to convince my wife that

Many of the toilet seat based bidets (such as the Brondell Swash) have sensors in the seat that won't allow the water sprayer or blow dryer to run unless contact is detected from someone actually sitting down. That's what relieved

I keep a stack of about twenty small, thin wash cloths (each one is about 8 inches by 8 inches) in a container on the shelf next to the toilet, and after using the bidet, I just use a single cloth to pat everything dry. I then drop the clot

How in the world does that patent not conflict with every single existing blood test glucose meter currently on the market already?

Yeah, the mop feature is a joke. I took one look at it and realized that instantly. Everything else about it is pretty sweet though.

The Neato and RoboRock vacuums are the only ones I recommend for their efficient navigation. Although I had three different Neatos die on me, so now I only use RoboRock.

Yep, I have the RoboRock S5 and it's light years ahead of my old Roomba. I honestly have no idea how Roomba is still in business

You know what else stops you from touching your face? A face mask.

Everyone seems to missing one very big, important thing that masks accomplish, even if they don't stop the airborne virus itself: Masks stop people from constantly touching and/or itching their mouth and nose. Think about that for

The #1 complaint I always see with classes is due to inheritance. When classes inherit from classes that inherit from other classes, you can very easily end up with a tangled web of methods over-riding and extending other methods, and run i

Apple has never invented anything truly innovative. All they do (and all they have ever done) was reinvent the wheel. They do, however, consistently reinvent the wheel better than anyone else. Case in point: In literally the year 2000, I ow

So give people some sliders with all of those things, and let them drag it around. What is my cost with a million objects, an average computational complexity of 3 compute units per search, etc. If you can't do that, at least give some

I realize this might not be a popular approach, but I figured I would share my experience here in case anyone else is helped by it: I was an alcoholic for over 10 years. I would drink multiple liters of vodka weekly. It was not uncommon for

We switched from SVN to Git about a year and a half ago. I often use the "annotate" feature in my editor to see the history of lines of code (to figure out who to talk to when I have questions), and I routinely run into the "

My personal experience is that the vast majority of slack complaints are solved by: - Allowing all users to freely create channels as needed - Raising user awareness of how to use the very flexible channel notification settings (and muting

I especially liked this point: "IT pros always and without fail, quietly self-organize around those who make the work easier, while shunning those who make the work harder, independent of the organizational chart."

I'm of the opinion that the only valid type of coding question in an interview is one that tests the candidate's ability to perform the actual type of work they are being hired to do. If you were trying to hire a mechanic, would y

It seems so tragic to me that there are so many people that bust their ass their whole life to save up for retirement at 65, only to die 5 years later. It makes me almost not even want to bother saving up for retirement...

For whatever it's worth, I recently attempted to run a 4K 60hz HDMI connection from my gaming PC to my 4K LG OLED TV in the living room. I ended up trying out probably 4 different cables before I found one that was actually able to tra

Wow, that's crazy! I didn't even think about that, but I can totally see how it could be possible. I imagine that the only reliable way to prevent it would be to have multiple redundant systems that operated via consensus.
