If this is a web based app (rather than a local app based on web technologies, like webos or windows phone), you should move as much of the processing server side as possible. Aim to not use a client side framework at all, if you can get aw

Since the 90s ?? That's very impressive if true. I remember reading about a proposition to do this for cars years ago, before any talk of self driving vehicles. A car would lock in behind a professional driver vehicle such as a truck

It probably is, but a thing being common knowledge is not the same as apple confirming it.

It's sort of like test driven vacuuming ;) I love the comparison to codebases. I just wish I could commit the perfect tidy version of the room to a git repo and then reset to that every night. :)

Sounds amazing when you put it like that. I could be putting nine weeks into a project instead of watching Netflix

I measure 1 cup rice to 2 cups water (often boiling, from the kettle), check it every now and then, and when it's got "holes" - gaps where water has bubbled and evaporated - I turn off the heat underneath. I never add salt. I

My biggest gripe with the dishwasher is that things come out of it wet and need drying by hand. Modern dishwashers don't have a drying element anymore. However, just today I read here on HN that plastic items don't dry as well as

Our oldest is almost four and we're trying to teach her to tidy up in the evenings with us, making it a family activity

Yeah, I'm thinking it could create work as you'd have no option but to clear the floor for the roomba every night?

My nearest is 20 minutes away, probably more effort to bag everything up and ship it out than do it in house. Last time we changed the washing machine we got one that could handle a much bigger load with a higher rpm spin. Clothes come out

This is a great tip, thanks! Of course, it only reduces my stock sorting load by 25%, can't force the wife and two girls to wear only grey socks for the rest of their lives :)

I've heard people sing the praises of rice cookers before and I just don't get it. I cook rice in a pot and it takes barely any effort. The most time consuming steps are measuring out rice and cleaning the pot afterwards, and you

The slow cooker is one I should add here myself, saves a lot of time cooking

Does "weak correlation" not mean that there was very little difference either way? I just meant this study seems to show that suicide is unaffected by intelligence. Either I read it wrong or I worded my content badly but I was jus

Interesting that suicide had a weak correlation. Intelligence obviously has little bearing on depression

It actually was that I was thinking of. And now I feel slightly silly for not only getting a key detail wrong but also using a comic as a source of facts. I'm sure Randall Munroe did his research but still.

I was joking, but joking aside, please don't use the daily mail as a source of data. People in the US might not realise it but The Daily Mail is like a tabloid version of fox news but with more racism.

And the ethical concern that often goes unmentioned is hope the rearing of animals for food has left barely any room on earth for wild animals. If anyone can find that biomass breakdown chart it's pretty scary. Something like 90% of th
