So what killed him?
Bees... Do both?
Amazing. I'm not OP and have no use for this info, but it was fun to learn it still.
I think for most web apps it doesn't make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it's a pretty marginal benefit.
What I've done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.
Yea, Chinese people understand when you do that, but they first look at you with this confused look thinking 'he wants two chopstic pieces?' and then realize you have a vocabulary of a two-year-old.
Source:lived in China long enough to learn yo ask for things, but not long enough to learn the countable nouns.
Wouldn't that line of thinking imply that women don't have any agency about anything? Whatever they decide can be framed as a reaction to internalized fear.
Not to mention that gender roles also affect men.
Well, he did move to live on a remote island (no power, no other people, no access for 5 months out of the year without a helicopter) at age 72. Lived there for several years. Also grew much of his own food for a almost 20 years.
I can actually imagine my grandpa doing this. I wouldn't call him a computer wizard by any means, but he has surprised me before. He will just go to the library, and have the librarians find printed computer magazines which would deal with various connectors, learn about HDMI and composite. Then proceed to find another magazine which has reviews of adapters and take a bus to the big electronics shop to ask about adapters and have them place the order for one.
He actually did this when he needed to digitize some tapes. Granted, he ended up with a firewire-connected external sound card and a tape deck from a hi-fi store connected to Audacity, when all he needed was my old walkman, a 3.5mm cable and Windows Recorder, but hey, it got the job done.
He used to be a researcher and he somehow sees these things just as requiring time to find the right source of information... And time he has.
I could imagine someone's grandma being the same.
Don't need windows if you live in a basement (and use Linux).
To an extent, it is also beneficial in today's society. Hyperfocus and fast context switching can be assets in some jobs, if the downsides are not too great and that can depend on the job and colleagues a lot.
But yea, I can imagine it has been more of an asset in a different time.
What does not work

capitalism (IRL; I wouldn't want to try implementing it here)
I actually lol'd
And I gotta ask, what insanity drives someone to implement a minecraft server in bash...?
Khan academy can solve this for you, if you want.
