This is just goofy. Timber-framed structures do well in earthquakes, and while they catch fire often enough during construction, once fire sprinklers are installed and people live there, serious residential apartment fires in modern constru

Dunno about the "best," but it's a very good material because it flexes under load. Unreinforced masonry is probably the worst.

These two things are subtly different. If most people are incompetent in their roles, then both statements can hold.

> Finishing is a skill I've also heard "it's better to finish something than to start something." At the same time, don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy. Finishing a dead idea only makes you feel good.

I wonder how true this really is, and how many attempts by women were mostly just looking for attention. Not to downplay the seriousness of it, it just might be a different class of self harm.

My theory is that nature runs experiments with males to varying degrees depending on species, mostly in mammals. The continuation of the species only needs men to provide sperm, so the species can afford for unfit males to not have offsprin

I work for Big Tech. It has its faults, but blaming a design monoculture on it isn't fair. Design trends are bigger than a single company, and while there are definitely enough companies to see some amount of variation in UI and style,

Doesn't the Chrome updater use binary patches? https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/softwar...

The patch, of course, is covered by a separate copyright.

It doesn't matter what you call it, people will know what it means. Look at how special ed turned special into a euphemism for disabled.

There's a case for some amount of equity with special ed so special needs kids can grow up to be contributing members of society, but equity at the top end will just stunt national achievement, putting a country at a competitive disadv

That lets you decompile and likely publish a patch, not publish the complete derived source.

The abuse is worse on the merchant's side, but on the consumers, it's more like getting a cab to go to Morton's Meats, instead they take you to Shelly's Steaks (because they got a kickback), then say they'll take yo

It's not a tax, it's a protection racket. You wouldn't like it if someone looking for Williams Sonoma saw results for Sur La Table, would you? Pay up.
