The problem is that a lot of people don't bother sending back stuff because it's too much of a hazzle, and it's unlikely that any of the other products on Amazon are any better. You already know that you aren't really go

Obviously the term is important to the author, else it wouldn't be there. The author wants to emphasize that the target audience of the ad is very narrow. In the authors view, Facebook is not trying to target younger, more diverse poli

Basic PDF editing (adding, removing, reordering, cropping and rotating) has been rock solid in Apple's Preview app. It's something that I dearly miss when I'm on Windows. Which makes showstopper bugs like this a very unfortun

The tests that they used in Austria cost 7€ a piece, and apparently there are even tests available for 4€ (bulk price obviously) A friend of mine recently ordered a pack of 25 tests for less than 200€ (he only had to check a box confirming

After reading this comment again, I realise that I should have just shut up a few comments before. I can't delete my comments any more now. My apologies for being so argumentative; GP triggered me and I just spewed expletives instead o

If you have a talent, you can do with it whatever you want. There is no such thing as squandering your talent. People always told me: "You're so good at maths, you have to go into research. Your talent would be wasted as a middle

Thanks for this citation. I think it perfectly augments the article. I can do both: - assume that I am below average (don't underestimate others) - assume that I have talent (don't underestimate yourself)

It's funny that you expect me to find a charitable reading of what I consider an obvious non-sequitur; while denying my comments the same curtesy. Yes, I used some colorful language; my argument would probably have been stronger withou

But sometimes you need to call out pseudoscientific bullshit for what it is, instead of bending over backwards to find an acceptable interpretation of what someone could have meant when they said dumb shit.

> completely dismissing the evidence GP offers I don't see any evidence for the "apparent feminization of human societies", because that term is just incendiary bullshit and doesn't mean anything.

+1 for Icebreaker. Their fabrics are a blend of wool with synthetic materials, and they are the best shirts I've ever had. Unlike other wool fabrics they are very easy to take care of. I wash them just like cotton, no special detergent

Because they charge pretty high prices for battery swaps. For my two year old Airpods they would charge 55€ per pod + another 55€ for the battery in the case, which means that getting new batteries costs as much as the Airpods cost in the f

Whatever you decide to build, make sure to get people playing your game as soon as possible. Don't wait until some specific milestone, show it to people immediately. The biggest mistake that people make is waiting too long before showi

That code is not a general purpose library function; it assumes the element exists. If you call that method and the element doesn't exist, presumably something has gone wrong already. Adding a NULL pointer check is not going to fix it.

People here are proud of the "small scale agriculture" that is still somewhat common here but truth be told most farmers don't treat their cows any better just because they only have 5 of them. I rarely see cows on pastures a

I've never heard of these diamond plates. Do they take away a lot of material? My whetstones are 2000/6000 grit.

Another thing missing from the Mac is touch screens and pen input. If you've ever used a Surface, it just feels like there's something missing from your Mac. It boggles my mind that Apple shows all these musicians, designers and a

As a recipient of a blacksmithing course I'd like to say it was one of the best gifts I ever got. But it's a pretty expensive gift. But I've also been given knives a few times, and I loved most of them. It's not like you

At a first glance this sounds exciting: We use a lot of different versions of macOS and Xcode for building our apps. We have one dedicated Mac, and about 5 VMs on a second Mac that we use for building our software. Keeping everything up to

The problem is that IT departments are really good at coming up with excuses why they need to lock everything down (eg. because of GDPR compliance), so the usual result is that employees just use web apps instead of more secure local apps t

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I agree that the processor change was a long time coming. I'm speculating that they decided to also bring touch screens and 4G back to the Mac about a year ago, when they realised that adding multi-tasking t

I really think Apple got it wrong with the iPad. They thought that iPads would replace computers for most people, but 10 years later it's clear that Apple's strict control over the iPad will never allow it to be as capable as a la

There's nothing wrong with having a nerdy hobby. But if you expect to find a romantic partner, limiting yourself to people who share your enthusiasm on this one thing is playing the dating game on extra hard mode. It's way easier

If the small keyboard was better for everyone then presumably we would already have them. But my guess is that a keyboard that's too small is just as bad as a keyboard that's too large, so the current size is a compromise based on

Because everyone benefits more from roads that are less congested. If everyone rode bikes or the bus 90% of the time, there would be mostly empty roads in the 10% of time that they do use a car. If you had to pay a significant price per km
