I love how the messy side of the desk is allowed to grow as it likes, so long as it keeps out of the mouse space. I can relate.

I believe that term is reserved for (some of) the indigenous peoples of modern-day Canada.

en.wikipedia.org/…/Three_Sisters_(agriculture)
The Three Sisters […] are the three main agricultural crops of various indigenous people of Central and North America: squash, maize (“corn”), and climbing beans […]. […] In a technique known as companion planting, the maize and beans are often planted together in mounds […]; squash is typically planted between the mounds. The cornstalk serves as a trellis for climbing beans, the beans fix nitrogen in their root nodules and stabilize the maize in high winds, and the wide leaves of the squash plant shade the ground, keeping the soil moist and helping prevent the establishment of weeds.

Well, “Native Americans” means everything from whoever lived on the tip of today’s Argentina all the way to the Inuit. So saying “native Americans” when it’s actually just two tribes is wrong.
- Comment on me when lower category theory 6 days ago:
I’m always on the edge of ‘category theory might be fun to get the gist of’ and ‘what the fuck is this what cocaine addict came up with it burn it with fire’. This pushes me more towards the latter.
- Comment on Overbearing datetime pickers 1 week ago:
can you elaborate on type=“datetime-local” not existing?
Oh goddamn, I hate web standards sometimes.
There used to be a proposal for datetime-local, but it was dropped, even though some browsers already supported it. That’s what I meant.
However, some years later the W3C added it to the standard again.

- Comment on Overbearing datetime pickers 1 week ago:
What is wrong with the simple type=“datetime-local”
The problem with that is that it doesn’t exist.
Nitpicking aside, the problem with native browser widgets, in my opinion, are:
- tiny hit areas for desktop users
- no way to highlight certain dates (e.g., holidays) or mark dates ineligible for selection (e.g., future dates)
- no way to indicate the week of year (not an issue for most use cases)
- users don’t know how to un-select a date (you’d think the ‘clear’ button would give that away and you’d be wrong)
- the widget lets you enter invalid dates without telling the user (or the programmer, for that matter), e.g., 31 Sep.

- Comment on On Monoculture 2 weeks ago:
Adding to this: The German word for the English monoculture (i.e., only one crop per field, but changing every growing season) is Reinkultur, or pure culture.
- Comment on On Monoculture 2 weeks ago:
I believe there may be a language barrier at play here.
“In agriculture, monoculture is the practice of growing one crop species in a field at a time.”, says the English Wikipedia [1].
German Wikipedia, on the other hand, says
Als Monokultur […] werden […] Flächen bezeichnet, auf denen ausschließlich eine einzige Nutzpflanzenart über mehrere Jahre hintereinander angepflanzt wird […] Wenn auf einem Feld in einer Anbauperiode ausschließlich Nutzpflanzen einer Art angepflanzt werden, handelt es sich um eine Reinkultur, nicht um eine Monokultur.
Monoculture are fields on which a single crop is planted for multiple years at a time […] If a field contains a single type of crop in a single growing season, it is called a pure culture, not a monoculture.

I agree that the uppercase I should be larger than the lowercase L, but i disagree that that’s how most fonts do it.

Only it’s not a cylinder but more like a funnel, where snow can clog up the upper part and not even reach the cylindrical part.
- Comment on Accuweather handling rain and snow differently 5 weeks ago:
But snow can have wildly different densities. I find it hard to believe that this is true.

Tylenol: safe to take consistently for a long time, but dangerous to exceed dosage
In Germany Tylenol flies under the name Paracetamol, and my pharmacist specifically warned me against using it unsupervised for more than three consecutive days. Tylenol is toxic to the liver.
