They are not on the fence about Rust. They are on the fence about JPEG-XL when it entails a major increase in attack surface due to the current implementation being in C++.

Human civilization is very north biased. Almost 90% of all people live in the northern hemisphere.

Another aspect is that there is a large span in the amount of water you can let the rice absorb. A 1:1 ratio of water to rice (not accounting for evaporation) is all you need to cook rice no matter if it's short grain or long grain, but a lot of rice will also happily absorb more, like 2x its weight, if you give it enough water and time. It sounds like you are using long grain rice given the large cooking time and high water ratio.

The fixed ratio doesn't scale all that well, because some of the water is absorbed by the rice and some just evaporates. Even with a lid on water still evaporates. The evaporation portion depends on the type of pot, how long you cook and how much heat you put in.

So, if you only vary amount of rice, you really need some_factor * amount_of_rice + constant_amount and the knuckle rule has that characteristic.

There are knobs on the f and j key so you can find the home row without looking. Similarly, physical buttons in a car can be shaped in such a way that they allow for feeling your position.

There are so many behaviors that fit that description that few would count as addiction. For example eating sweets or junk food, procrastinating, not drinking enough.

I have some experience with a German shorthand style (DEK) and it is more important to write clearly. Shorthand removes most of the redundant information that is present in regular alphabets and words. With regular writing, a small error somewhere can be error corrected using the surrounding context. When I wasn't being careful, I could often read the text shortly after I wrote it, but after a few hours or days it became illegible to me.

There are multiple levels of shorthand, the faster ones drop more and more information from each word if it can be inferred from the context (for someone familiar with the topic, i.e. yourself mainly).

Shorthand never really stuck for me. Learning to write and read it wasn't that difficult actually, but I couldn't quickly scan shorthand notes like I could with regular writing. I suppose that's a matter of practice and I wasn't ready to sink hundreds of hours into just that. One thing I learned from the experience was how frustrating of an experience it is if you're not good at reading. I have always been an above average reader and I couldn't understand how people struggled so much with it. Reading shorthand was effortful and slow, especially at the very beginning for me and that gave me some perspective of how some of my classmates must have felt.

You could make the argument that with strong headwind you should drive slower to optimize for efficiency.

It looks like the author is trying to set up a reverse pleb filter. "Only plebs would like this".

The author himself doesn't seem like a scam artist but he looks like he falls for them. He said he heard about this technique from Michael Neill who he calls "a personal development coach, a really good guy". This "good guy" has a bunch of books and videos on youtube offering the answers to everything: Finding happiness, overcoming shyness, anxiety, being effortlessly successful with just these three easy tricks in 3 months yada yada.

And Win Wenger, who the author says this technique originally comes from, is the author of "The Einstein Factor" which is a book with similarly grandiose claims about improving your mental abilities.

The problem with residential solar is not the panels, it's the installation, connection to the electric network which differs from house to house and having to work with the homeowners.

1,000,000,000ng is 1kg, so that'd would be as much plastic as solvent by mass.

Light is only the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
