Having a garden and a house with rooms (or a warehouse/dumpster if you prefer raccoonlike metaphors) gives us a place to keep the things that we fish out of the stream; right now we can boost (kick it upstream a bit), bookmark (save it to another stream it'll float down more slowly), fave (shout a compliment at it as it floats off out of sight), or reply with a hashtag (put it in a labelled box and, again, float it away).Right now it all floats off downstream through time, we all float here

I think organizing stuff in folders or in a branching structure like a tree or spider's web is a very web 1.0 thing and ordering chronologically is very web 2.0, and 2 can be very exciting and fun but it's a pain in the butt trying to find good stuff older than a year.But it doesn't have to be either-or, we can do both and they can complement each other like spider's webs growing in trees on a riverbank, we can do both, they work really well together, for goodness' sake let's just do both

Is YOUR internet suffering from Preferential Recency Disorder? Find out now:Search for how to build an A-frame pub style picnic bench like the one pictured. This design predates us both and there's really nothing new to say about these tables, so recency should not a factor in deciding which article to serve at the top of search results. Instead, the *clearest* article should be returned.If your search results are full of lengthy pages less than a year old, your internet may be affected!

Well it was above 30 degrees for five days straight here and I didn't use the air conditioning once!All it cost was a couple hundred bucks of insulation, a new staple gun and a few days of lying on my back with goggles and gloves on listening to Bill Bryson audiobooks and swearing in the Nasty Attic and wow, holy yikes what a difference that's made.Pre-insulation you couldn't be upstairs after 2pm, it'd hit 40 degrees.

@jk This is something I legit want. If every instrument were its own data track then my bass control could actually affect the bass guitar instead of whatever sound happens to be in that range. My crossovers could go "Right how many drivers am I hooked up to, and how big; ooh brilliant let's send the lead guitar to this driver, rhythm to this one, bass to that big boy down there," it'd be brilliant. One button to do karaoke mode, one button to let you play the guitar bits.

Extremely popular take that some here won't like but seriously need to sit with: spelling words like a11y or l10n or i18n or m17n is bloody incomprehensible and makes you look like an absolute w4r

seriously if you come up to me and use some mangled wankchatter like "Hey Dan what do you think of m17n" I'm just gonna shout back I don't know what that means and I will sodding block you if you tell me

I have a limited number of neurons and time and your little dribble of "d14n means disenfuckulation" infospunk just took up a valuable second that I could have used for picking my nose or telling lies on the internet

Actually you know what I might have been hasty here, it's actually good that sometimes someone asks you about a11y and i18n the same way it's nice when a puppy runs up to you yapping all excited and incomprehensible yapyapyapIt's only when you learn that these messes have an alleged meaning that you realise that this person has forgotten the sound of trees and the taste of bread, just like the puppy is enthusiastically telling you all the gruesome details of a turd it just ate

It's the disappointment. Because these numberwords present this tiny mystery that you're curious to unravel, so you ask the person oh hey what does x32n mean, and they tell you and it's a computer word, it's always about computers, they came here to bother you about computers and they're using their computer and YOUR computer to do so, and you slump every part of your body and soul as they whisper these grey computer words into the goo that used to be your brain

the worst part of computer people talking like c6r p4e is that they all know exactly how to make a program that watches for them typing nonsense like a11y and go "Bloody hell he's at it again" and autoreplace it with proper words,But They Don't

It's like leet speak, except you can *sort of* parse 1337 if you squint a bit, and also 1337 was for 14-year-old boys who don't know any better, whereas this wankbabble is being used by fully-grown-ass men who absolutely should know better
