The Netherlands really does a great job on infrastructure. It's not like they're even particularly anti-car: driving there is a pretty decent experience too. It's extremely depressing driving onto the ferry in Hook of Holland

It's even worse in my UK village. they don't even paint white lines, just the white outline of a bike every few hundred meters on the road.

"I did not understand why people are playing CS at the computer clubs..." I was the same. UT was so much fun - bouncing flak cannon shrapnel round corners! But my LAN group all wanted to play CS or that UT mod that was similar (

I guess it would be an interesting experiment to randomly mix 'good' art into the bad art collection and vice versa and ask a load of critics and/or artists to comment on them.

Even better, you get the alert if you click too quickly on the left/right arrows in the galleries because it thinks you're trying to select text.

I can see something like this being useful in other law related areas. My wife's court office has hacked together some horrendous workflow for tracking offenders as they progress through the system using OneNote and Word, but it suffer

How many developers use git? I'd bet there's a huge number of developers out there at non-tech companies who get by with numbered folders and emailing zip archives around.

Scaled from Java years to JS frontend years, that's like late 2022.

I know it's a joke, but I wonder if there's a market for a smaller version for mechanics working under cars? If the movies are to be believed, most car repair work requires lying under the car.

Exactly. It always seems weird to me that "going to the gym" is virtually synonymous with getting some exercise when the gym is the most boring place to do exercise.

Power is energy per unit time. The statement is like saying "the total amount of rope produced in SA is 500 meters per second". Being generous, you'd assume that's (total production per year) / (seconds in a year),

I think it's worse than that, though. Burning 924 calories running then means (if I understand the paradox correctly) that you probably end up then burning a decent fraction of 924 fewer calories over the rest of the day, thanks to met

Back when I was commuting by train every day, the Vita was my favourite console. It felt like it got a lot of great ports of the big indie titles of the time, plus a decent number of bigger titles: Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Stealth Inc, Wipe

Agreed. Adding more choices doesn't make a game more complex if the choices aren't meaningful: to me it feels like adding fake depth.

That's starting to sound like State Task Networks/Resource Task Networks from production process design/scheduling.

We'd heat it up on the gas hob and then burn a hole through the conker. That's brilliant. Why did this never occur to me? That's going on the list of things to tell my younger self when time travel becomes possible.

My parents live on a tiny lane that narrows to the point where driving a car down it is tricky. Every few months a huge lorry will try to drive down it, get stuck and need help reversing back to the main road. Every time this happens, the d

Is the demand there? Affluent customers probably have chargers at home, so unless it's a 200+ mile round trip to visit the business, probably don't have much need to charge.

Everyone loves the NHS in an abstract sense, but mostly if you ask them, they'll have stories about how terrible actually being treated by the NHS is.

Fastned chargers do plug-and-charge using CCS. Works pretty well in my experience, I believe it's an open standard.

Most UK chargers are on Electroverse now I think?

I was surprised just how good charger provision is in Europe. On a recent 1600 mile road trip we never had a problem finding 350kW chargers. There were always plenty of spaces free and I saw one broken charger the whole time - it maxed out

A question for anyone with experience with MathAcademy: how does it handle proofs for the ideas it teaches? If my aim is to understand the mathematics, not just to solve equations, is this the right kind of tool? My biggest complaint about

I've only been once and didn't really enjoy it (family with two kids, 6 and 3, at the time). I can see why people do, though. You could do all the activities (apart from the swimming pool), better, cheaper and in nicer surrounding

Exactly: it was a lot less common to customise your case when it required a drill and a Dremel saw.
