My Dickies work jeans have a pocket like the one described in the article, but at the back of the right leg, not the side. I'm pretty sure this is because if you're wearing a tool belt or safety harness none of the traditional pockets are accessible.

My day job is plumbing. I really very badly want to be able to make a decent living through the skills I've been practicing outside of my job, and this quote is motivating to me. Thank you! :)

I agree, the bread-type mold must be different from the cheese-type. Maybe the loose structure of the bread makes it easy for the mold to spread thin and quick through the air gaps, while in cheese it propagates more slowly.

Idk, but if there's mold on one part of the loaf the whole thing smells funky.

For what it's worth, I'm in Texas and the dates printed on the prepackaged food in my fridge have similar language; some say "best before", some say "best by", and some say only "b.b." (which is disturbingly ambiguous). I'm sure I've seen products with "use by" or "expires on" labels here though, but I've never interpreted any of them differently. Just seems like a guideline to me, I guess. Products that have an admonishment to "once opened, use within 7 days", like packaged deli meat, get my more thorough smell test.

But I have two questions for you:

- where I live, most beer has only a "born on" date, and apparently never expires. What about over there?

- and my only test for egg goodness is that good ones sink and bad ones will float. I've heard that eggs in the UK are prepared for sale differently - does this test work for them?

Thanks for your reply! I asked because a couple years ago I started, but quickly quit, a Coursera optimization course.

If you don't mind sharing, how do you use these tools?

Was it not meant to shred completely? Was the battery low?

They're golden angles! https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs00004-015-0...

Well the last one is. The significance of the other two angles, in OPs diagram, is unclear to me.

You're right, it was set as private but it's fixed now :)

This is awesome! Just a few days ago, as part of my schoolwork, I made this: https://www.geogebra.org/m/xcfev76v

The color schemes we used are similar, I kind of copied mine from this image on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions#/media... I wonder if the author of this site did the same?

What would be REALLY cool would be a connection between this diagram and the graphs of the functions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions#/media...

something like this: https://www.geogebra.org/m/cNEtsbvC

The play-in-the-browser bit should absolutely be his selling point, maybe pay-what-you-want. I've always got an eye out for browser shooters where, idk if there's a gaming term for it, you can walk into a corner and then step away from the keyboard and not get killed.

Probably. Improbably, it could produce the ubermensch. Someone needs to get on it.

"Ok, we're definitively in hell" - C Bel, 2018. This is amazing, computation in Excel is becoming a solid meme.

I've got to ask (and I hope this isn't non-PC or some such), but is English the author's first language? Where's he from?

I wish that I had Excel so that I could try it out! :) More about the choice of random digits, sin x + cos x, would be nice to read.

"you can be alone, millions of miles away from any human contact, and still feel joyfully connected to the world"

I'd like a citation.

You're right, 'lane assist' is probably more appropriate. However, it's not 'autobrake' or 'auto-no-crash', the feature is actually called 'autopilot'. (why does that article say 'autosteer')

An autopilot maintains heading, and that's all. Many sailors are not techies --- an autopilot on a boat will run you right into an obstacle.

From Wired's "People Keep Confusing Their Teslas for Self-Driving Cars" (https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-crash-dui/):

A spokesperson pointed out that the owner's manual reads, “Autosteer is not designed to, and will not, steer Model S around objects partially or completely in the driving lane”.

I haven't seen the encouragement to not pay attention. In some ad on TV, maybe it was for a new Cadillac, the driver opens a soda with both hands off the wheel, and that seemed to be as far as they were willing to go.

From the article, "[this] casts doubt on the reality of time in our world".

If the order is undefined, then how can you say I'm late?

Is this an April Fools' joke?

Too much first person.

Also, Wayback Machine "is frequently used by journalists and citizens to review dead websites".

This isn't some fucking standard; it's Wayback Machine's responsibility to archive websites, not the other way around.
