Not saying people shouldn't wash their clothes, but that flower (or other) smell you seem to find pleasant isn't pleasant for everybody. Don't know why, genetically probably, but I really dislike most synthetic smells. It&#x2

I'm well aware, but I find that a waste of soap. Also (maybe should have made that more clear) I don't care if my soap bar looks dirty, that doesn't really hinder it's functionality.

Heh just typed a similar reply to the doctor in another comment. I experience the same. To the point I'm starting to wonder if those millions of liters of soaps and gels used do actually have any positive effects at all. Surely there a

Would doctors recommend using nothing at all, just warm water, for e.g. showering or bathing (not talking washing hands after changing diapers or so)? Or why not? It seems to be hard to find actual studies about the effects. In fact I have

somehow thought of as unclean To be fair: if your hands are dirty like from gardening or working on a bicycle then some of that dirt will stick to the soap and stay there until after a couple of 'clean' uses. But in my mind that

Of all problems Thunderbird has, the look and feel of the UI is the least of my problems actually. Maybe it's just how I use mail, but probably like 90% of interaction with the UI is that white space where I read and type email text. I

Spyder is good for inspecting, coming close to Matlab (for the rather simple stuff I use it for) but it's a lacking on the code editing/browsing/plugin front. VSCode on the other hand is pretty good for the latter, is still l

Didn't try this myself yet, but if you search FF extensions for 'invid' you'll find there are a bunch of extensions related to invidio.us which is like youtube + download button, and more. So there might be something to

For me, implementing something that provides value with near-zero maintenance for years is the ultimate sign that I've done well. Such a good point it's worth repeating. We have a bunch of small tools of which the code might not

Some of these 3-digit locks are so simple/bad one can actually just see the open slot on each ring. After which you just have to align them. If that fails, some of them have just enough space so you can put something thin (like a nee

See for example the year without a summer (1816). As far as cherry-picking goes to suit a case, this also sounds like a pristine example. Even worse then what you are countering, since it is only one single year. There are periods of hum

I wonder how accurate response times generated by these experiments are (and/or, how they define 'response time', which is sort of the same question). E.g. if response time is defined as the time between when the visual stimu

MicroPython [0] for instance gets mainly used on microcontrollers. Hard to tell how common it is, but it definitely gained some traction, also runs on the micro:bit [1] which gets used for teaching. Which isn't surprising: Python is ea

Article is mostly fine, but the author does some effort to mention CPython-specific things, but not consistently, making it a bit of a confusing read for when you've worked with different Python implementations at the implementation le

I think so, but I never really measured the actual amounts I eat, and what, in both cases. It also heavily depends on what you're doing when sitting still: using your brain actively for work for instance is going to require quite some

Can you make it so that I can upvote this multiple times :) Really good job. Editing comments is a bit funny though: after clicking Update it takes me to the standard update page on HN instead of staying inline (on FF).

Well, yes, but is there such nonsense to begin with? I.e. where does the original statement come form? Where is the canonical source claiming whatever is not a pattern, is an anti-pattern?

Much of what gets laid out in the article is also true for a whole range of other disposable products of different types. Take plastic bottles, essentially the same tragedy. Companies like Apple did and still do fairly well when it comes to
