Except those service workers probably now have significantly longer commutes. Their quality of life suffers. I don't know how broadly your definition of service workers goes, but this affects teachers, police officers, firefighters, et

It's not that easy. Ambient temperatures change, humidity levels, flour retains more moisture. Small changes in these things can make huge differences in the finished goods. A skilled baker will read these factors and adjust.

We have a pretty large Ember app that consumes a variety of data from many sources (clojure services and middleware). I find I rarely have to "fight" the framework, but often have provide overrides through the various lifecycle ho

The first time I looked at semantic-UI, I honestly thought it was a joke. "Anything can be a <button>, just throw this class on it!" I see they've toned down their "just use divs and spans" examples a bit, but

I happen to think that who funds an organization is often indicative of their agenda i.e.: follow the money. I also understand this belief is not universally shared.

I'm 5 years on the other side of 50 and similar story. Did 8 years in the game industry, 3D and technical art, then as a co-founder of a small (22 employees at height) game studio, coding since then. Still love it - and yes I have a pl

Also, WRT screen reader users, like sighted users, they often scan the document by skimming the headings, links, etc. Screen reading software will pull these out into separately scannable lists available for the user to skim through outside

I probably could have been clearer, but my "as a driver..." Was not meant to single the poster out individually, but to apply broadly to all drivers. Many drivers seem to feel that it's their God given right to pass whenever

How about as a driver, you don't pass cyclists when it's not safe?

The American Alpine Club gathers reports and publishes Accidents in North American Mountaineering [1] annually. That's probably the best source. I've been climbing for thirty odd years and recall very few deaths free soloing. [1]:

Before his death, Dean Potter was developing the practice of "base soloing" (climbing with only a base rig) [1] [1]: https://vimeo.com/2872213

I've watched many free soloists that make me nervous, but I don't get nervous watching Honnold. He is so amazingly solid, so methodical, so smooth.

I have no quibble with the assertion that advanced degrees do not correlate with better performance, but no evidence there that unions 'created the "for profit" school debt problem'.

by steveax 10y ago
I haven't seen evidence of unions supporting for-profit schools, in fact, quite the opposite [1]. Care to share some evidence of that? [1] http://forprofitu.org/2013/06/seiu-testimony-at-a-department...

If you need to take the lane, take the lane. Do not offer what might look like a "squeeze by" to auto drivers but rather ride in the center of the lane and move to the right when it is safe to do so.

A couple of years ago, near dusk, I heard a hell of a bird ruckus and went out to the front porch to have a look. What I saw blew me away: a young coyote was making haste down the middle of the street, ears down and tail between its legs be
