Can you elaborate on this? I am unsure if you are saying not watching the news makes him an NPC, or if the people who just parrot the news are the NPCs. I am leaning toward the latter, but based on your wording and the wording of the parent

Figured I'd chime in and say that I'm basically in the same situation. I get to the office somewhere between 10 and 10:30 and leave somewhere between 4:30 and 5, with a generous lunch in the middle. My mantra is "Do one usefu

For anyone interested in Native American / Canadian issues, I can't recommend Kent Nerburn's "Neither Wolf nor Dog" series [1][2][3] highly enough. The second and third books deal more directly with the boarding sch

I had a professor who was adamantly against any recordings of his lectures because he felt that it was a move by the university to cheat him out of pay by reusing content. Not sure where I land on that, but I would guess it's not an un

We are definitely at a disadvantage in terms of having robust technical discussions before implementing new features at my work. Something that previously would be discussed by the whole team is now either just implemented solo or discussed

More likely it shows the fact that I was born in the late 1980s and Michael Jackson had fallen mostly out of favor by the time I had any wherewithal about pop stars.

Apparently "decimate" is having a moment on HackerNews lately. It came up over the weekend as well [1], with the same disagreement between people on what it actually means. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

I believe v4 is what you actually want [1]. By default it looks like `uuid` generates a v1 id, which as you said will produce duplicates if you call it too quickly. Maybe your tool is different from the one installed on my machine because w

My wife's parents built a house out in the country when she was ~10. They put in a functional wood fireplace and used it as their primary heat source for a couple years. Her main memory of it was that the living room where the fireplac

I think heating choices are highly regional. Basically you are going to install something that you can easily get an HVAC person in your area to do maintenance on if it breaks.

That's all conditional on you planning to sell in the near-term. My parents have lived in the same house for 35 years. On that scale, what is good for resale value doesn't really matter. Things that were trendy in 1990 are severel

One thing I personally find infuriating when talking to people about home projects or renovations is their obsession with "resale value." It severely limits the scope of what people are willing to do to basically what is trendy on

This [1] is an example of the type of buildings around here that tend to have extra wide eaves. I like the idea of a deep eaves, and I imagine if it was paired with a decent roofline it'd look really nice. [1] https://www.go

by war1025 6y ago
One thing I dislike about deep eaves is that they tend to come with a very shallow roofline that for some reason screams 1980s to me.

I don't really have anything to contribute to this, but I found the article super interesting. Perhaps a thing I could add is that Part 2 [1] is available, which wasn't immediately obvious to me. [1] https://medium.com&

Currently there is the QGLWindow that holds a QGraphicsScene, where all of our windows are QWidgets wrapped by QGraphicsProxyWidget to get them into the scene. Are you suggesting that we should do another layer of wrapping the QWebEngineVie

Decimate means you kill 1 out of every 10. It's probable that we decimated the virus and more. It's just that doesn't really make a difference.
