I encourage you to look closer at the "in office" section here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

This right here is probably my single biggest complaint with modern computing. It's a phenomenon I've taken to calling, in daily life, "tools trying to be too damn smart for their own good". I detest it. I despise it. Ma

That is perhaps the most insidious property of all when it comes to microplastics--it's incredibly difficult to work that out. We don't have control groups, they're found in virtually every complex organism on Earth, includin

I haven't used Tidal yet, myself. I've got a mind to, though, especially as it seems much friendlier to artists than most--I'd even consider publishing my own music there, whereas other streaming services (with maybe the sole

Personally I've had loads of issues with YouTube music, largely in that it regularly makes a point of inserting various popular songs into playlists and radios of otherwise very niche genres (which they have nothing to do with) I stron

It would appear to be a conversation between an experienced OpenStreetMaps contributor and a course designer for the golf video game PGA 2K23 discussing some in-depth technical details of representing golf courses in their respective domain

Along with other issues stated, I already keep my dryer lint as an emergency tinder supply for survival situations (or the occasional campfire mishap).

We go through... a lot of eggs in this house, and I have other uses for waxes as well (such as waterproofing, candlemaking, and sealing wine bottles). This is genius, I'm stealing it. ...or so I'd like to say, practically speaking

My favorite is to cover a wadded-up paper towel or two with a splash (or spritz, in my case) of vegetable oil. Dirt cheap, using things I already keep stocked in quantity in my kitchen, and even more reliable than those crappy $10/pack

That logic follows... right up until the leap to arboreal lifeforms with opposable thumbs being an inevitability (or even a prerequisite to tool use!). Opposable thumbs are not a guarantee. Nor are tree-dwelling lifeforms, nor trees, nor th

I usually do. Problem is, to do that at all, I usually have to buy men's clothing. I buy men's jeans by default, because they have pockets and the fit and comfort aren't my biggest concerns for rugged practical wear. If I wan

It... really doesn't, though? Cooking is hardly by any means trivial, and achieving recipe-quality results based on a quick skim and winging it from there is certainly more difficult, but I'd argue that anybody who can't make

So I'd like to think. In reality my skills don't exist on paper save for basic helldesk work, and even that's been a crapshoot. Loving the positivity, though. Should probably throw more work into networking and portfolio piec

That's no guarantee either, especially with increasing consolidation of land under larger corporate umbrellas. I recently moved away from Columbus after getting on the bad side of an investment group that seems to own nearly all of the

Straight from the PuckerButt Pepper Company! They're the ones who bred the Reaper and offer seeds, mashes, and sauces alike.

It's not the liquid helium that limits JWST's lifespan (as that's in a closed loop), but rather the propellant needed to keep it in a stable orbit. I'm no rocket scientist, but I don't imagine that would be much les

A lot of that seems to actually be down to the fact that he now runs a New York Times column with a similar premise. Would still be nice to still see posts to the site, or even a mention of the fact that he's got that column there, but

They also make a fair bit of money selling geofencing services to law enforcement agencies.

That one wasn't just a switcharoo -- r/worldnews got compromised and became a complete anarchy zone for a while. The other sprung up in response to replace it and just sorta stuck even after r/worldnews proper got cleaned up

Except peoples' equipment would most likely all be breaking down at the same time, because everyone is harvesting at the same time.

It does when a massive portion of your supposed profits are eaten by a 4-5 figure monthly rent on a flat.

Or even neither! Much faster to find upper and lower bounds and essentially construct a hash table than to manually sort a whole list of non-trivial length.

It wasn't the title of the HN post itself that was changed, but rather the discrepancy between the title of the HN post and the title of the article. As for the title of the article, well, follow the link.

So how does a blind user distinguish between each seat's offerings, then? How might they quickly skim those offerings to get a decent idea of what their options are in a way even remotely similar to the speed and efficacy of, say, icon

It isn't, however, ignoring the exclusively licensed content Netflix also pays for, which the bulk of their "originals" are.

As it happens, the state legislature and the attorney general are not one in the same. If it's a question of local politics, Ohio has recently leaned red but historically been considered a battleground state, so they're somewhat d

While rent-collecting is a major problem in the music industry, this is a rather reductive statement. Especially when it comes to more niche genres, such as lofi, a label can be a major help to increase name recognition for smaller artists
