Yeah I like that idea too. Theres a lot of people who would have trouble with that approach though.

The testing that would be required to support toggles would be for 2^n. I’m not sure that’s a good solution.

I think you’re off by an order of magnitude. With those numbers, a 12” board would expand and contract 1.2”, and an 8’ long board would vary by almost an inch. Much more reasonable would be 1% across the grain and 0.1% along it. You can con

I see a couple of sibling comments giving you great tips already. I am still in the painful stage of failing my way to success (though closer to the end than the beginning) I will suggest a few things. Follow up each of these points with mo

As a hand tool woodworker, I’m inspired to make something similar out of a block of wood. When I saw the title on this page, I was hoping to see a version that was inspired by Apple’s iSight camera (with the perforated aluminum) None of thi

Apologies for going off subject but I want to ask about that background image on that page. I remember seeing that art a long time ago and I remember that it was algorithmically generated but I don’t remember anything else. Does anyone have

Thank you for the information! Sometimes it’s worth pausing a moment when seeing a “It’s well known that…” to check the timeline because the construction of Arecibo might well have taken place (or planned) before it was known (let alone wel

Could you cite sources? Specifically, when was it discovered that zinc flows under high stresses? By whom? (Not a materials engineer so I’m not sure what to search for)

I would be very interested in seeing what definition of “pattern” this discovery is using. Most definitions I could find (I am not a mathematician) seems to imply one of: repetition, growth or shirking. This shape appears to have none of th

I found it more readable for coding even though I don’t have dyslexia. Surprised me when I found that out.

Some countries (I know Canada is one, Germany, where the artist works, is possibly another) have the concept of moral rights enshrined into law. Boiled down, this means that anyone who wants to use an artist’s work in some context must get

I see a few people advocating for putting one person on support each sprint, rotating through the team. This works fine for small teams but for larger (and with large, older codebases), the ramp-up time for being an effective support dev be

I am very much in favor of putting engineers on customer support/success. I believe it is important to develop empathy and understanding of the user's experience with the product you build. Not only will it help you implement what

I'm so happy to see people talk about this! I too am endlessly fascinated with content tagging systems. Hillel's thoughts are completely unsurprising to me so I guess I've come to similar conclusions. I do notice that we seem

I expect you're going to get a lot of good advice. My small contribution is this: whatever you do, document it. Write down the date, what you did, what settings you tweaked. (or use Github to manage your changes - that still counts as

Great story, Michael, thanks for sharing! I have a disability (profound hearing loss) and I've started 2 businesses in my career; the first was a freelance gig, the second was a health recordkeeping app for iPad. Neither have been succ

I would have expected that you'd _want_ to factor in air noise because humans don't only hear fan noise in their computers. Or am I misunderstanding?

I purchased my current vehicle through an auto broker - for a fee, a description of the model/trim level, and the name of the dealership I want to pick the car up at (anywhere in Canada), they would negotiate on my behalf. Once they ha

This makes a ton of sense for B2C contexts, but my gut reaction is that the conversational approach might be too high friction in B2B contexts. To be clear, the friction I'm thinking of is this constant cadence of stealing/borrowi

My next woodworking project will be building a Dutch tool chest. After some searching (too many pages only show the _outside_ of the chest, this page shows you some of the potential of storing and organizing literally dozens of tools in a b

That would presume the cursory research turns up clear answers. Or that the answers the interviewers give will match the answers online. I have seen both presumptions invalidated enough not to think poorly of anyone asking and if the interv

Yep! The scale I have seen used includes the terms “mild, moderate, severe, profound”… … ah. Here’s a chart that might help: https://www.asha.org/public/hearing/degree-of-hearing-loss/ I’m not an audiologist

A lot of folks here wants you to ask him what he wants. Be prepared to hear that he doesn’t know what would help. But he will appreciate that you’re giving him agency. One of the challenges I have with this question as someone who is mainst

Thanks to everyone who replied to this. I am thrilled to learn about these options. To my Portal idea the closest I’ve found was Superliminal. There’s something wrong with the graphics though, it makes me nauseous to play. But I will defini

A game that rewards actions driven by empathy rather than combat, death or killing. Real empathy is hard and the real world could stand to see more of it.

I have two game themes to call out: 1. A first-person puzzler in the spirit of Portal. No guns, no violence, just… elegantly designed puzzles that requires logic and real world physics to solve. How Portal didn’t immediately launch a sub-ge

Good work! I might just try this out in my next attempt to GTD I’d like to suggest thinking more deeply about dates. I love that you opted to use the yyyy-mm-dd format and I also think it’s great that you’re making things flexible because l
