By all means today's content websites are an abomination, but I don't see why we need to throw the baby out with the bath water by completely rejecting any attempt at styling websites and going back on all readability best practices.

I see a lot of websites now which, in an attempt to reject all the nonsense, end up rejecting even basic CSS, and you are subjected to browser width text in Times New Roman with ugly blue underlined links (danluu.com is a good example. Such great content that I love to read but, to be honest, ugly). Surely there is a middle ground?

Something as simple as the following can make your website look neat and readable:

body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
max-width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

a {
text-decoration: none;
}

Some very very minimal frameworks like Sakura attempt to do just that (https://github.com/oxalorg/sakura)
I also have pretty serious stress induced insomnia like the author describes. This sleep deprivation stuff didn't really help me. In fact, I wonder how much it really helped the author. I know I've tried various strategies and proudly proclaimed myself cured on a number of occasions only to have the sleeplessness return the next time shit hit the fan.

I recently bought this sleep tracking thing which works really well: https://www.beddit.com/ It's a thin strip that goes under your sheets and talks to your phone. It tracks heart rate and respiration and as far as I can tell it's quite accurate.

The things I've found most helpful are cognitive restructuring and the relaxation response. Both of which are recommended in this book: https://www.amazon.com/Say-Good-Night-Insomnia-Drug-Free/dp/...

Cognitive restructuring is part of the CBT stuff mentioned by the author. You catch yourself thinking thoughts like, "Oh shit I'm going to be so stupid tomorrow" and argue against them with thoughts like, "I've managed to do my job on no sleep before and I can do it again. Worrying won't help."

The relaxation response is very similar to mindfulness meditation: you systematically relax every muscle in your body while taking slow deep breaths that expand your belly. You do this for 15 minutes at some point in the middle of the day. You can also do mini versions of it for shorter sessions integrated into your regular activities. The point is to lower cortisol levels. If your cortisol levels get elevated during the day, they tend to still be high at night which makes it hard to sleep.
I think curvature modeling would be a great extension to the plugin.

I hate traveling outside Japan! Can't live without "shower toilets" (that's how they're called here). It's hardly a luxury. It's an essential household equipment!

I feel like I'm going to barbarian lands when I leave Japan (for the sake of full disclosure, I'm not Japanese)

Isn't that the very argument though, that the article wasn't just making reference to global warming endangering Jakarta, but was leading the article with saying Jakarta was primarily in trouble because of global warming, when the biggest immediate issue is sinking due to use of groundwater?
This is a common case? Besides educational exercises, why? I would have guessed most printed integers are random ID numbers, prices, database foreign keys, etc.

"If the rest of the world thinks Gaddafi was toppled because he gave up his nukes, then it’s true"

This is not what the world thinks.

Gaddafi was not about to obtain nuclear status - not even close.

There's no way he would have been allowed to anyhow.

Libya is a fairly small country, smaller than Chicago, fragmented, spread apart, with no industry other than some oil.

North Korea is not remotely comparable to Libya - I don't think the North Koreans see a true analogy.
That's the luxury of time thing.

If I was a recipient of universal basic income, it's the first item on my list. A series starting from grass roots leading to code-level manifestation and verification of landmark chips like MOS 6502, Zilog Z80 and onwards up to MIPS R4000, SuperSPARC, Intel 80486, Motorola 68040. And a deep dive to implementing a lisp-based OS and tooling to both run & compile itself, completing the circle. There is so much interesting about CPUs, from large architectural design considerations like machine type (Von-Neuman or Harvard) and MMUs through to minutiae like choice of instructions and the encoding of the instruction set, balancing the conflicting demands of instruction timing optimizations versus silicon space and power budget, math intrinsics, ... this rabbit hole runs deep. I'm starting to wonder if any one person is able to master all of the requisite topics, similar to the pseudo-fact that there is no one person who is able to manufacture a can of Coke from scratch. But, we can try, and that is where the fun is :)
Sadly we have nothing that comes close to getting a fleet of nuclear warheads far enough to intercept before it’s too close and we shotgun ourselves. Most likely forms of diversion involve years of planning and deployment, and that’s minus the hasty R&D we’d need to do.

yes, if you are opening a second account, regardless of where, there is plenty to move.
How is mean sea level irrelevant? Global warming directly affects the mean sea level. You don't need to go around measuring surface area/volume of ocean,ice and land and what not! All you need is to calculate the mean sea level and compare it with historical data.

And your theory on tidal effects of the moon falls flat because mean sea level takes all those factors into consideration! How? The name itself suggests that it's a "mean" over all variations in the sea levels due to tidal or inundation effects. Unless the gravitational pull of the moon dramatically increased or the moon got closer to the Earth your theory makes some sense. But the effects are pretty uniform. So mean sea level is the only meaningful statistic here. It's real and measurable. Everything else is bogus claims by climate change deniers!
The history of sea cable espionage and sabotage is a fascinating one. A few good books by noted historians.
You could also just try using Baby wipes?
Turns out I was right. Both are SSRIs, and the former is the S-enantiomer of the latter.

Not exactly. You're right that escitalopram is the S-enantiomer; citalopram is the racemic mixture of R- and S-enantiomers (of which only S- has the antidepressant effect).
Has anybody else noticed that "Only Sith deal in absolutes" is an absolute? Genuinely curious if it's just so obvious that it's never talked about, or if people just don't stop to think abouy it...

Gaddafi was one of the longest-serving leaders in the history of the entire Middle East. It is a pretty widely held opinion that he would still be in power had he kept pursuing nuclear arms.

The goal is to communicate meaning. If you don't have an army of editors between you and your readers, it is unlikely that you'll achieve error-free text, and typos left in place is better at communicating meaning. Autocorrection is a lossy, information-destroying transformation.
I miss the 90s web I used to browse with Netscape Navigator. I really liked static navigation menus where I didn't have to stop and infer the functionalities from an icon or hidden expendable/scrolling menus.

I made my first website with it when I was 11 (still have it on a cd rom)...it was so simple to use. In fact, a lot of stuff in the late 90s to the early 2000s were very approachable as a curious noob. I started tinkering with QBASIC during 1997 on an old 286 with a monochrome monitor (still have it), and when I got a Windows computer and I tried to make a Warez site on Geocities lol....manually searching altavista for 50mb rar parts compressing Playstation ISO images on a 56k modem, hosted on myspace.com (when it used to be a file storage)...it took all summer to compile but again everything was easier because people didn't give a shit what the site looked like, they just cared about what they could get for free.

Now it seems impossible to get away without some trendy UI framework or experts reminding us how we are doing it wrong...which ironically increased the webpage filesize to 196kbps mp3 files that works on modern devices.

I used to live two blocks from that Goodwill and have been tehre. Orange is a really interesting sociological expirament.

I lived in a 700k cottage in an insanely desirable historical district with a beautiful private university, but had gangbangers and barios in any direction (santa ana, tustin, anaheim, placentia). The homeless encampments down the street have made national news.

I do not know how this level of inequality is sustainable. It's really easy to see how Goodwill could take advantadge of that situation. They're taking donations froim wealthy folks / college kids and reselling them to thje poor folk, and extorting the odd fellow it seems like.
What Are Different Types of PHP Operators – InfoTechSite
I don't really agree with this. 30 isn't that old. Also, some 30 year olds still look like they're in their early 20s, so you can't tell their age to begin with.

OP, in a university setting it is easier to find mentors. Look for professors, grad students and in-class TAs if possible.
Not uncommon in Europe either. Especially in non-renovated parts of old cities or middle-of-nowhere kind of places. Old pipes just can't handle too much paper.
Absolutely. And I'd do it all over again.
It's a bad idea to flush those. They don't degrade, and end up blocking sewers and ruin septic systems.

His anecdote is more powerful because of his income

It's not hard to find accommodation in SF (let alone the East Bay) with a $150k/yr income. Something is being exaggerated.
What I think I'd like is to type a whole input and then go back and select corrections all in a batch. The correction mode could use more of the screen to help you go faster, plus take advantage of rightward context as well as leftward. Very probable corrections could take advantage of Fitts' law or maybe grouping of multiple corrections into one.

The goal is to never get 'corrected' without my assent, while still going fast. This might be underexplored, because designers aim to keep it easy for everyone without training. (But this is also likely just a bad idea. I mostly just don't type on phones and curse them when I do.)

Shaders are a good use case for live reloading because their output is discarded 60 times per second, and nothing depends on that output except our eyes and brains.
Every company was once a single person with an idea, as were every company that never came to be. While it's humbling to think that these large companies used to be just in the brains of a few individuals, it's so easy to not look at the graveyard filled with individuals with the same idea but the stars didn't align. When you focus where the light shines, you forget how dark the room is.

What is your fudge factor for how much of that energy gets dumped into melting ice? 1000? 10000? Even then you get quite a few centimeters on the scale of decades or centuries.

Just because you don't hear about problems with sewer systems, does not mean they are nonexistent. Also, flushing anything that doesn't disintegrate will quickly ruin any septic tank/leech field.

I was going to say. The rental market is way better now than 2 years ago. Many more "for rent" signs now and rents seemed to have come down a little.

Maybe the OP is only looking at the super low end of the market (will only rent a sub-$2000 per month 1-bed). No doubt those would be hard to lock down.
Depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to be able to sustain. Also, I think you might not be figuring in taxes.
Amen to that. I can't stand the thought of commuting anymore after being 100% remote for nearly four years now. I've had recruiters contact me on LinkedIn, StackOverflow, etc. and summarily turned them down because the position wasn't remote.

I get to be home when my daughter comes back from preschool, make lunch in my own kitchen, and when I clock out for the day I can get right to spending time with my family.

Autocorrect is okay for meaningless rants to your brogrammer. Autocorrect should be off for documents as a rule, unless you click a button to autocorrect everything, or turn it on specifically. Plus, you don't autocorrect words you don't understand that are long and big, there are metrics for measuring that.
Same in most of SE Asia.
Encountered it in Canada in the maritimes. Anywhere on the coast there were places that just had a pipe going straight into the ocean. Cafes, restaurants, you name it. There were even portable toilets set up with the pipes so they never had to be pumped. I'm guessing they don't want to see tons of toilet paper floating in the ocean I guess, but excrement is not a problem? Maybe someone else has some better insight, for instance I know in the states if it rains too much and sewage backs up a bit, the beaches get closed. Do Canadians not see a problem with high bacteria levels?

It's not an isolated thing and comes up often... Canadians just seem backward at sewage management[1][2].

This might be TMI but I never understood toilet paper. Think about it. You are taking a piece of paper and just spreading it around. No matter how hard you try it's still there. It's not clean. Gross.

In fact, the use of toilet paper has spurred a whole new industry that most other countries don't have...the ointment industry.

Washlets or bidets are far cleaner and preferred.

No.

This is specific to crypto currency supply production algorithms.

Coin supplies are created by running the software. Bitcoin and many other cryptocoins use a rule that lets the first users take control of the supply very easily by generating the coins for very low CPU/GPU difficulty. After a few weeks, the work required to produce more coins doubles. This just lets a few users control the supply, wait, and attempt to convince new users the coins are rare because the production/mining has become significantly more expensive.

tl;dr: early miners generate most of the coins inexpensively, and try to sell to greater fools because the software stops creating coins as easily as the first few days
Noted. Precise humans will choose another brand.
But when you look at it closely what you are talking about are re-inventing the trailer park.

I really feel it's a shame that this isn't more accepted. What is a trailer park but cheap high-density housing? We have people living in tents under bridges. Surely cheap temporary housing with proper sanitation would be a major improvement.

Seems like that same logic would obviate the dish cloth/sponge, dust cloth, mop, and towel too. Since these devices actually work, I suspect you're thesis is kinda wrong. Needless to say, when you wipe with an "clean" cloth, some of the material you want to remove sticks to the cloth and gets removed, leaving less on the surface being cleaned. Some number of repetitions pushes the concentration down below whatever it is you want to consider your target.

It works no differently for poop or spilled gravy.

I mean you need to know the volume of all the water in the ocean. Because as the temperature rises the water expands, which leads to rising sea levels, in addition to the land ice melting.
