This is the reason I think game reviews on Steam are excellent. Next to every review you can see how many hours the user has in the game. A negative review is read differently depending on whether the user has half an hour or 4,000 hours.

I think those look really exhausting and unnatural since you have to carry your whole bodyweight on your arms. Seriously, try suspending yourself with your hands on two chair backs. Now imagine doing that for many minutes at a time, while a

I think it would be great to read these works as they were intended to be read, and it's awesome you're leveraging public domain literature to do this. Not sure which I'll start with yet, but I'll be sure to sign up!

My phrasing was a bit narrow-minded there, I meant consumer *nix distributions like Debian and what have you. These all manage to make room for Thunderbird and whatever awful music client they've come up with, but lack handy CLI tools.

There's a few programs I wish were standard on all Unix systems by now: * tree - print directory structure * bat - cat, but actually designed for reading files. Syntax highlighting, line numbers, automatic paging. * rg - better grep *

Awesome! This is similar to dazzle camouflage from WW1, the idea being to disguise the heading of the ship. I'm not sure it was ever shown to actually work though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage

I am always surprised that these systems are not more friendly to engineers, since they were built by them. You'd think for their own sakes they'd stick in a system like xkcd.com/806/

Big tech players have been happy to create 'lite' versions of their apps for the developing world market, so this doesn't seem completely far fetched to me

Do you have any evidence at all for these extraordinary claims? Why would Urban Dictionary go to such lengths to suppress a competitor which posed no threat[0]? I also notice that the homepage hasn't been updated at all for at least 8

One situation where I've found it invaluable recently is Zoom standups. I like to see everyone at the same time rather than let Zoom decide who I want to look at, and our kanban board has 7 (!) columns. Of course I could just switch be

This makes sense to me since early humans hunted large game. Also, feasting seems to be present in some form in almost all human cultures. If it really were harmful, I would expect some cultures to have figured that out.

Cover each nostril in turn and breathe in through your nose. One nostril will be easier to breathe in through. Now try it again a few times over a day. I believe the reason your body does this is to allow your olfactory system to pick up a

There is a YouTube channel called Bryan Ropar's Plastic Chair World[0]. Bryan is an expert when it comes to these monobloc chairs, and can name every model by sight and tell you where it was produced. I think we often underestimate how

Almost all of these (including the example on QI) are just poor editing. There are some examples in those results where it's been done properly, with symmetrical lighting, and the results look... almost exactly the same as the original

To be clear, this aircraft is only used by the military. Making some bits orange is a huge stretch. I think the big issue is that this set would be directly funding arms manufacturers (Boeing and Bell), and goes against the companies own st
