I also write left handed and mouse right handed. My theory is that it’s more efficient when using a QWERTY keyboard layout. The QWERTY layout is heavily left dominant in English and, I guess, many other Western European languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#Properties: “In the QWERTY layout many more words can be spelled using only the left hand than the right hand. In fact, thousands of English words can be spelled using only the left hand, while only a couple of hundred words can be typed using only the right hand (the three most frequent letters in the English language, ETA, are all typed with the left hand)”)

So chances are that the last key hit before using the mouse is on the left side of the keyboard, as is the first key you’ll hit after using the mouse.

That makes mousing with the right hand while keeping the left hand on the home row faster than the reverse.

Very few houses are a total loss in the average hurricane. Indeed during most hurricanes there’s just lots of minor damage that you might see during a particularly bad thunderstorm, and people even continue to go to work.

Major hurricanes are a different story. But even then total loss is relatively rare except for storm surges unless you’re in the path of the eyewall.

There is no construction that can withstand storm surge, which is the biggest and most destructive hurricane impact. Even if the structure is intact, everything has to be ripped out of it. Most of them do survive winds short of tornadoes, though roof damage is very typical for major hurricanes and tree falls can cause problems.

We’re talking about the wind blowing up to 30ft of saltwater _miles_ inland. Given the comparative rarity of a major hurricane in any given geographical location and the oddities that determine the storm surge and where it comes in, the damage usually is worst in places it’s never flooded before - because places where it has are indeed required to build higher.

Scraped WordPress Plugin Dataset
Unhappy with the offical Wordpress Repositroy to gather information i scraped it through their API. Maybe some people manage to find great plugins with the dataset[1] or opportunietes since there a lot of unmaintained plugins.
some first insights were:
- 40% of all plugins "died"
- people tend to rate always with 5 stars and sometimes with 1 star.
- security is the most downloaded tag, however there are not so many security plugins
- seo realted tag are gettig combined the most attention

Heres a thought experiment:

You are looking at potential videos to watch on $subject. There are two videos you can see, one with a thumbnail of avatar/memoji/emoji, the other with a real person. Which one are _most_ people going to clock on (hint we can test this by analysing youtube)

The point I am making is that avatar/memojis look cheap, not because of how they are created, but because of ease of creation/lack of differentiation.

No jab at Elon and his Boring Company?
This person clearly isn't a senior. Either he should do it already or he should have realized his limits and asked for specific things he needed to accomplish his work (juniors often don't know what they need).

Or he's in a difficult personal situation and can't think clearly (not sure this is your job to figure out though).

I agree with other commenters: in the end you hired a senior so you wouldn't have to spend time teaching a junior. Be available to explain things he asks but give him time and space to figure out things on his own. Is it the very first month of employment? Maybe the onboarding wasn't great and he is bogged down trying to understand the big picture.

You shouldn't be hand holding seniors with experience. Give him concrete goals, requirements and deadlines so he knows what he needs to deliver and let him do his thing.

Also, review your hiring process.

> Before the modern age, most humans worked in agriculture. Really, really hard work, day in day out, no vacations, no sick days, you had to be there no matter the weather (except extreme events where your live would be endangered too much, probably).

Btw this is simply not true. People worked less in agriculture than a 9-5. You’d only really be working hard at specific times of the year- harvesting, seeding, etc. You’d be doing other things like working on the house, feeding various animals, churning butter or making clothes, etc, in the in-between.
Sorry to hijack your comment. You responded to me about a year ago when I was asking about 3D websites when nobody else did and I really appreciate that, so I wanted to thank you even though it's been so long later. Looks like Apple built something similar to what I was thinking with their headset, which I am not too familiar with and haven't gotten to use. To explain some of what I was thinking: when you look at a piece of physical paper you could click on a sentence or word and it would bring up the say definition, or wikipedia page, or on a financial report if you clicked on a line it would bring up the details of the report. Like a website in 3D. I had some other ideas too for desktop integration, but that's not important. Thanks again.

If you're interested in cavepersons, there's a very good podcast called "Our Prehistory". It really expanded my mind. My image of people up to 10,000 years ago was basically like a Gary Larson cartoon – Oog hit thing with rock! I was completely wrong; people had amazingly sophisticated technology even by the mesolithic, they just didn't have metal but they were doing crazy stuff with stone, bone and wood.

Let’s not pass judgement on what other people love or not. You simply have no idea.

There are many things I love but since I got a family I just don’t have time for them. Or if I have the time I realize there’s a million other things I can be doing with my family.

You have cars and coding. You spend time on those hobbies and presumably not with your family. OP just realized he’d rather spend it with his family.

It surprises and saddens me how dismissed C++ is nowadays. It's rarely my first choice (unless writing a gui, then Qt is my go-to), but it is a far more modern and less dangerous language than most people think. With most technology, people don't assume it hasn't changed since the 90s, but for some reason, that's what people do with C++

It basically consists of:

1) The basic, ubiquitous, and uncontroversial rule that headers should be self-contained, i.e. guarded and include their direct dependencies, and

2) nonsensical rules resulting from failure to follow the first rule, or failure to follow the other basic, ubiquitous and uncontroversial rule that source files should also include their direct dependencies.

Manual forward declarations are a non-starter. Any header that contains a class declaration that it might ever make sense to refer to as an incomplete type (so, like, 100% of all classes, rounded to 3 decimal places) should have a corresponding iosfwd-style forward header.

The common header is just another header. You include it if you need it and you don't if you don't.

Even us righties need to use scissors in the left hand occasionally, such as when trimming the finger nails on the right hand. At least with nail scissors, the trick is to flip the scissors around so they point towards you rather than away. Then you're still forcing the blades together rather that apart.

Definitely "love" in its casual usage, is very fickle. You can turn
something you love into something you hate by over-doing it.

Maybe the best way to kill something you love is to make it into work
in the first place. There's a good argument for keeping the things you
really savour a little at arms-length.

One psychological idea I found immensely helpful but hard to digest is
the relation between love and hate; Love and hate are not opposites,
but proximate. Love can easily flip to hate and vice versa. They're
from a vector of two circuits, arousal and pleasure/displeasure. The
opposite of love (and hate) is indifference. Socially, we worry
about "hate speech" when a much more dangerous state of mind is blank
faced indifference. ( Most of what I'm saying is just Erich Fromm [0]).
