But what is the nature of the failure? If the way you know the bike is ready to throw out is that it collapses underneath you, that's no good.

I'm completely with you, but take it a bit further. Steel bike frames are basically perfect until they're useless. That is, if you don't let them rust, then they are literally as good as new until you fall over hard enough to crack or buckl

I would say it is a mistake to assume either way without good reason. In some respect humans are very much like other species, and in other respects very unlike those same species. When we are around animals we inevitably feel a closeness t

I used to hear that a lot. Then everyone went nuts for bootstrap.css, which is very decisively not semantic. Now I don't know what to believe.

Did no one ever pull back and just punch him in the face? If not, why? Even the worst possible repercussions don't stop some people. And if so, did it have any effect?

You could ask me the same question in reverse, but why are you so sure that everyone bears scars from childhood? Is it that it's been the case with everyone you've met? It certainly has been the case with many people I've met.

I hear you on that, and it can be annoying when people knowingly pretend not to know what you are talking about. However, the most groundbreaking things are often not so much the discovery of clever solutions as the recognition of what the

I love that book and find it both useful and actually funny. (It's meant to be in parts). But it is over prescribed. The forward clearly states that its original intent was to be remedial and correct college freshmen's bad habits. It isn'

The notion of "complete coverage" is fantastically subjective and contextual. The Civil War is, in various scopes, completely covered in several page articles and several volume sets. Word count ranges are a good way to convey expected scop

One thing I am surprised by with these types of theories is the lack of awareness that some people have happy childhoods with parents who don't scar them in any way. It's like it's taken as a given that a legacy of sadness runs through ever

Yes, and "space age materials" now invokes a feeling of being quite out of date.

"Apart from my words, I have my intent, thoughts, opinions, facts. Words are a medium." But in written communication all those other things must be conveyed by your words . That's what writing is.

I see anything aside from images and text on the web as a kludge. But it turns out ubiquity and connectivity is so powerful that it trumps almost everything else.

I agree. And frankly I find it the most grating thing about my generation: no spine. Stand up and speak. Don't try to soften the message with tired jokes and deflection. Just make your point. If people are angry, they're angry. Listen to th

The benefits of diversity come with costs. Shared viewpoint and culture makes things much simpler. Things people consider universal ("well that's just common sense!", "It's about respect !") reasonably often turn out not to be universal.

The "Rich guy not made happy by wealth after all" story is so old that I am surprised anyone is still surprised by it. Every other novel they made me read in middle/high school had this as its message. I am very reluctant to use the term "s

I really think some sort of equilibrium is going to be reached that brings back the stylus or at least a functional equivalent. Fingers just aren't precise enough for some things

I would argue that your very sensible demands, for a sanitary kitchen and proper fire escape, can be seen to by market forces. Only rent AirBnB places whose reviews convince you they are appropriate. You can not be the only one who feels as

While we might infer it, you will notice that the parent poster did not indicate his feelings about short term rentals one way or another.

Interesting. And if we called it a patronizing attitude, we are using the word in its most literal sense.

I got into college on an essay addressing essentially that topic. It was a while ago and discussed what emotions are appropriate when a talking ATM thanks you for banking. In a British accent.

The first thing I check on any Life simulation is how they handle the edges. There are three easy ways: edges wrap, just off screen is permanently dead, and just off screen is permanently alive. This sim uses wrap. That's how I've always do

"Research has found that there is a connection between wealth and happiness, but only upto a limit. The beneficial effects of wealth taper off almost entirely once a comfortable living standard is reached". But which study? I've heard that

I'm not looking for official citation, but it seems unjustified to state that "treating [love and happiness] as engineering problems will generally lead to greater success." I am open to that possibility, but it doesn't seem at all obviousl

That is cool. I love the touch of the little dust explosions off the paddles. For anyone else that wants to start playing with canvas, let me relate a gotcha that drove me absolutely nuts. And if I'm mistaken on this, someone please set me

My complement and gripe: Mixergy is great. I listen to it because I enjoy it a lot. It's because I enjoy it so much that I tolerate the host projecting his insecurities onto his guests. Its interesting that Marc Maron's comedy podcast is a

The phrase "...the questions of an impatient (if not, widely respected) mind..." implies that Paul Graham may be neither patient nor widely respected. Also, the comma in the parenthetical is unnecessary. I have never read any of PG's code,

One thing I've run into is that PDO does not let you parameterize the field name in "ORDER BY" clauses. And there are a few other little things that I've wanted to do that it doesn't allow. It may be that me even running into these problems

This may be deeply stupid, but I'm new to IRC, and I'm getting a message on Freenode saying "Cannot join #php (Channel is invite only)". Am I missing something? Or is it possible to just watch the discussion without participating and that d
