I think defining art wholly and solely by the intentions (and humanity) of the artist is clear cut at least, but not very illuminating, because for the person experiencing the art these properties are in general unknowable. 100 years henc

I don’t know, I’m more concerned with the effect that art has on me than the motivations of the artist (though those can be interesting of course). For instance I read The Fountainhead as a youth and was moved by it for purely personal (n

> I’m increasingly convicted there is inherent value in humans doing things And in many fields I think many (most?) Americans at least would agree with you — there’s some special value in a handmade product, regardless of whether a machi

What do you perceive to be their bias / agenda re: remote work? (Honest question).

Mostly things that are very widely used in industry are indeed no longer “in fashion”. Instead they were in fashion and actually proved valuable enough to have staying power (as opposed to most fashionable things that are junk). Charitabl

Cigarettes really aren’t bad for you on a short term basis. So it makes some sense that, while even a modicum of good decision making (courtesy of the mentioned prefrontal cortex) could help you kick smack, deciding to quit smoking due to s

In my experience most of my state in contexts changes infrequently (auth information, or the “current client” for a dashboard, or whatever), and then local state is sufficient for the rest. The few times I have sufficiently complexity in th

It was -15 degrees F the other morning and the inside of my windshield was ice. It took far longer than a minute to clear. Also took far longer than a minute to reach a tolerable temperature, even in decent garb!

That situation was awful. Drawing a connection directly between the two scenarios makes very little sense. The people involved in each event are so far removed as to be entirely causally unrelated. It’s highly unlikely that there’s some ind

I would consider localizing for en-US visitors as many will have no idea what you mean by “brackets”. I would also suggest that you actually make the landing page “work”, whatever that means for your tool, with no extension — on mobile I co
