This is article is just bad: * You can’t “vanlife” for a week. In a week you’ll just start learning how to do it properly and how to use a van. * “Used converted Sprinter costs $300K” - wildly inaccurate. Even new converted Sprinter

Looks like filler is gone from these on I-90 because driving in motorhome over them (V-8 F-53 chassis) leads to crazy vibration. Regular car is fine.

Just throw them in the trash. There is no way to recycle them, and nobody needs them. Do not waste your own and other people’s time by trying to “find them a home”.

In reality this is not different from any densely urbanized suburb. It doesn't mater if this is one "long building" or several building that have small gaps between them. You want cheaper, dense housing, you are going to run

There is no magic bullet, you don't have enough time to do everything and need to prioritize. To fit exercise in, you need to let something else go. Doing it first thing in the morning is a trick to simplify prioritization. Do not chec

Do a small workout every day and do it first thing in the morning. This way you know you have to do it every day and it takes priority above everything else - if you don’t have health, how are you going to do other stuff you want to do?

I’ll add to this advice: work out every day. It’s way easier to do it this way. If you go for few large workouts, it’s easy to skip and easy to slip. With small workout every day you know you have to do it and it can’t be pushed out from th

Google far outperforms everyone else in AI. Search is already heavily ML-powered. Right now it’s impossible to provide ad-sponsored fully-AI-powered search and make it profitable. Remember, you are actually not paying for it at the cost, an

US is surprisingly bad at this though: in Germany, you get on Autobahn and you know the lane you are in is going to go forever. In US you get on a highway, get to the leftmost lane, it gets to the city, you driver straight and suddenly find

This was in a branch that before pandemic would fork out 10k easily. I’m not the only one who experienced this - my friends experienced this across different banks in different states.

Peopleware and Mythical Man-Month are fundamental to understanding larger software projects and teams. They often state obvious things, but I didn’t guess them myself. Mythical Man-Month also provides important historical perspective.
