You may not trust DDG and their search providers but Why would you trust Google? I trust that DDG pseudo-anonymizes my search queries. I'd like for Google to not make wild ML based guesses on my searches AND other activities in Googles

I get a serious case of impostors syndrome when it comes to CSS. 20+ years of HTML, 15+ of writing Javascript, loving ES6 but CSS gives me fits. What I hate the most that there really is no clear parent - child abstraction. This parent chil

Are there any context sensitive help, tooltips, etc ? Seeing two function definitions, my first inclination was to run them on the next two lines, via setup(); draw(); So that was wrong. Ok, so the functions run themselves automag

Why go with N3150? That chip feels very slow (favorite in budget laptops thanks to Intel pricing, what a travesty) J4105 has way better benchmarks: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Celeron-N3150-vs...

It's not quite as simple as that if the many posts on importance of good sleep here on HN indicate anything. Sometimes you might wake from 7.5 hours of sleep groggy and with a headache and sometimes you might feel fresh after 6 hours.

What are some good options for tracking your sleep quality(deep sleep etc)? Sleep clinic would be the most precise but personally I think it induces its own bias as we sleep best in our own beds. Hopefully we sleep in our own beds most of t

The answer lies in unequal bargaining power, public shaming/awareness is the best we can do. There's the added irony of Mr. Bezos publicly the richest man in the world having his workers hold their pee. Amazon will not care about
