pooberbee (any)

Don’t airlines usually charge a bit extra to pick your own seat? I’d imagine/hope that there are enough people selecting the cheaper “whatever” option that they’re going to bump one of those.

Well it wasn’t a website, for what it’s worth.

Tangentially related, I remember at one of my jobs being tasked (several years in a row) with updating the copyright year in all our source files’ headers.

There’s plenty of heavy jazz. Maybe try some late Coltrane or Peter Brötzmann. Tigran Hamasyan brings the djent influence, as well.

I suspect there are a lot of “Rust devs” that are little more than kool-aid drinkers. Common refrains are that Rust is the fastest language, most type-safe language, and most powerful language. Rust certainly seems to move the state of the art forward in some ways, but you can still write garbage code in it.

I’ve worked with lots of different people in lots of different languages, and I think I’d rather good people in a bad language than the other way around by a mile.

I got a handle on amazon and it came with blades. You don’t need anything special, I literally just bought the cheapest ones, but I have found it helpful to change disposable blades just about every time I shave. Maybe there expensive ones that I could use for longer, but at this point I already have enough blades to last me about 5 years.

I actually now use a cheap straight razor that takes disposable blades, and the shave is noticeably the best I’ve ever had. It is time consumung, though.

Prime factorization starts at 2, I’m not sure what you mean. Anyway, if you wanted to exclude 0 you could say “positive integers”, it’s not that hard.

I’ve had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it’s doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.

Watch, I’m sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don’t think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I’d have to upgrade.

Not ground coffee, because I measure before I grind, but I have this jar that previously held instant coffee. It perfectly fits a bag of coffee, and I think it’s probably more airtight than the bag.

This isn’t strictly true. I went to school for math in America, and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a zero-exclusive definition of the natural numbers.

I think you’re considering whether zero is somehow “naturally-occurring”, while others may be considering the concept of a natural number, which is a nonnegative integer.

It is a natural number. Is there an argument for it not being so?

Is it really seven times wider and seven times longer? Did a male serotine bat tell you that? And you believed it?

What’s the p-value?

I do wish that the personification of evolution wasn’t such a thing. People so often attribute reasoning or intention to the process, when there is no such thing.

Eraserhead has ruined this for me.

To be fair, most of “all human knowledge” is stuff like when the last time was that each person on the planet pooped.

Ethan Iverson has a pretty interesting article about jazz pianists and how their individual styles changed (or didn’t) over the course of their careers, and he noted that IIRC many pianists whose technique was mainly finger-focused had a significant shift in style later in life versus pianists whose technique involved more arm movement.
