Congrats! I've got a three year old and she's certainly added a few years to the age of my back, but it's was a happiness engineering optimization that was well worth it =).

In one of his last videos he said he was having a child, so that’ll add a few years to your appearance too :P. That kid is probably in grade school by now…

I love gridfinity, especially for drawers. It feels like 70% of the time when I want to store something there’s already a nicely molded box out there from someone else.

Seeing a “median number of speakers” of 10 for Australia is so sobering.

Two other big things: 1. Old well built furniture is _heavy_. This goes from being an asset to a liability if you're moving reasonably often. 2. Furniture tastes among the middle class changed dramatically sometime after maybe 1980? A

This is incredibly cool and I want to go build one, though it feels like that cutaway model of injecting the ultrasound from the side would lead to very uneven extraction. I also chuckled at graf about doubling the caffeine content, as if t

On a related note, does anyone have a good solution for highlighting arbitrary spans of text in PDFs? Trying to make viewing search results easier, but most of the solutions I've found are pretty lousy.

EDIT: due to a missing 1/ in the parent I think i was arguing against the opposite of what the parent poster meant to convey, heh. But that doesn't account for mortgage rates, or competition in down payments right? If you make 5%

These things have a high 'what might have been' future factor, but man they are annoying in practice. Because you have to wait for everyone to cram inside, it feels much slower than a train or moving walkway. They're very fru

Sounds very similar to Dulles in Washington DC. We eventually ran a rail line to it, and it eventually wasn’t the middle of nowhere any more. Hopefully the rail link takes less than 60 years in your case =)

Happy owner of an Acme Klein bottle here. I can confirm it has made me taller, more successful, and more attractive to all of the groups of people I wish to be attractive to. ... that or it's a fun conversation piece on my shelf. Perha

I’ve been following these as he releases them; just a quick warning that he’s using a $2,500 radar module that’s often backordered. It’s an awesome tutorial but definitely in “serious hobbyist” territory if you want to follow along for real

Thanks Ken, that was the best rickroll I've seen in years.

It's interesting to me how concentrated HF is just universally acknowledged as one of the 'big bads' of chemistry labs. I've run into "Yes HF works here but SERIOUSLY DON'T" in so many different contexts a

I think in the past 20 years or so fusion food has started to gain more respect. Particularly as second and third generation immigrants gain adulthood, it's easier to recognize that Tex Mex, Cal Mex, UK Takeaway Indian, American-Chines

Ironically you picked one of the American-Chinese food dishes that is, effectively, American. There's a fantastic documentary about it (and the Chinese food complex in American in general) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I thought because I literally haven't seen a single "what do real estate agents even do" post on here, I'd post my positive experience -- We bought a house this year in a competitive, expensive market (DC). Our agent fou

The Feds have good sources for the all various admin code/statutes/slip laws/etc, but there’s not a great unified source for case law. There’s nothing at the state level right now. I’ve been considering setting up a statue sc

Sounds like you were just using Redis for something you shouldn't have been. I think Redis is great in the space of "I need a little bit more structure than memcache", but if you're rising to the level of unscrewing a da

Maybe not useful for you, but I'd rather see the number names written out in Arabic rather than transliterated. IE صفر rather than sifr.

Take a look at grapesjs -- it's a bit janky in places but it's self hosted and overall works pretty well. It can output plain HTML so I think it could be integrated with vue.

So i'm not sure how I feel, but to play Devil's advocate -- If I know anything I create is just going to be hoovered up and input into somebody's AI model so I do 99% of the work and they get 99% of the profit, perhaps I&#x27

You’re probably just a little too young. By the time Mario 64 and RPG came out in the mid 90s, Chuck E. Cheese was a shadow of it’s former glory.

On top of that, many cases (including this one) aren't even artists suing other artists. They're estates or companies that bought the rights suing. Oftentimes the creators themselves would be aghast at this!

Not bad as in unsafe, just a bland block of high rise offices that’s dead at 6pm. It’s on public transit and close to good stuff, it’s just funny as you’d normally never send a tourist there on purpose.
