I just switched my banking from the largest national institution in Australia to a local credit union and another bank that has always had an online/phone only model and is good at it. I get the best combination of human customer servi

Plus the Swedish Gripen jet fighters are designed to operate off roads rather than requiring long, smooth runways, as well as be main†ained in the field.

I learned a few years ago to see (and hear) the word "just" as a red flag, whether used by others or myself. I do catch myself "just"ing sometimes, but always seek to restate the sentence without the word "just&quot

Some might say that's a part of the problem. After the cold war, many Eastern European states received financial and other support and thrived as western-style democracies while Russia was more marginalised and went through period of e

I read this article more because I'm interested in Zen than QM. But it prompted a question for me. What (if any) is the relationship between QM (which I understand to manifest mainly at the level of particles and very small scales) and

Prudent caution about snakes is good. I just today moved two small (<1m) but quite venomous snakes from my pool shed out into the bush, very carefully. But a reaction as extreme as yours may not serve you well in an encounter, it's

I expect smart glasses to be the next UI paradigm. Very conveniently portable. AR style visual interfaces. Built in speakers for personal audio (bose already do this in sunglasses). The AR interface could be directly manipulated by hand ges

I've never read Black Swan. I found Antifragile hugely thought-provoking. Knowing both, would you imagine I had anything to gain from also reading Black Swan, or do you really think they basically cover the same ground?

I agree that attributing this to genetics is somewhat abstract - it would normally be attributed as a phenomenon of psychology. And "more attracted to the negative than the positive" is an ambiguous way of putting what I guess the

There is a third alternative with a clear advantage over these two. PNPM is an NPM client that installs versioned packages into a central location and uses file system links within the 'node_modules' folder of individual projects.

I used to think the same about where I live - Australia - a lot bigger and more sparsely populated than Denmark. But here is an article about the first woman (and second person) to drive around the country in an EV: https://www.t

I did removals for a couple of years as a young man too. I disagree with your conclusion. There are so many different physical characteristics between each day's jobs - parking setups, strange paths through gardens, different types of

Apparently it used to be considered something you would try and hide, back in the days of the cultural cringe[0], whereas now it can be seen as a bit of a badge of honour. My wife's family descends from a convict bloke whose free wife

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I hadn't heard of lit-html before. Another case of learning about something very useful via HN :) Yes it is lit-html that I was impressed by more so than the micro framework that uses it. When I say

I like the use of template strings for, well, templating, with automatic differentiation between data values and event handlers, nice touch. The state mechanism seems similar to Elm and its derivatives (e.g. Redux), which I guess is a plus

Yep chainsaws are a very creative tool, as well as sculpture there's an amazing array of different notches and joins used for assembling log-built structures with little if any fastening hardware. And a well-tuned gang of climbers drop

Lovely little project. I saw a few little discrepancies too - I guess that's fine, but when I read "functional recreation" on the project site, my mind registered "fully functional recreation". It's been a whil

JS in the browser has direct integration to the DOM, networking, various local data persistence APIs, and other IO and sensors (webcam, accelerometer...) etc. Rust can be compiled to run in a sandbox, which can then be integrated via a remo
