    • They are sturdier and require less delicate handling, lest you damage a paperback's cover, or accidentally bend some of the pages
      • i always remove the paper graphic covers from HB so i just have the bare cardstock cover
      • this is handy if you need to travel with it, say on vacation, or to / from school or work
    • the spine is a lot sturdier and looser
      • with PB, the spine is just the same paper material as the cover, and it forms creases as you read
      • with PB, the spine is usually really tight, which makes it really hard to lay out the book flat
      • with hardback, the spine is separate from the cover, which lets it flex more easily, and the material that binds the pages is generally more durable to flexing over time

    I should probably note, i mostly read from e-ink tablets these days

    But i still prefer HB over PB if i need / have a physical copy

  • If they've been blind since birth, then their brain might not be capable of processing this completely new stimulus fast enough

    It'd be the equivalent of us being able to "see" magnetic flux using our nipples, for 30 seconds

  • The technology behind the registry is fine (which is what I think @VinesNFluff meant)

    But it's execution in Windows was ass

    In theory, a configuration manager with DB-like abilities (to maintain relationships, schematic integrity, and to abstract the file storage details), isn't a bad idea

    But the registry as it is today is pure pain

  • Sanity checks

    Always, always check if your assumptions are true

    • am i even running the function?
    • is this value what i think it is?
    • what is responsible for loading this data, and does it work as expected?
    • am i pointed at the right database?
    • is my configuration set and loaded in correctly?
  • Software dev here,

    It doesn't stop you from typing code, but it does drastically hinder the process. You often need to pull up technical documentation (for the language, framework, platform, etc), or search the internet for things, like "C# HttpClient how to serialize JSON with a different naming policy"

    Not to mention, if any of your dev resources are online, no Internet prevents you from running your code. Like, if you need to connect to an S3 bucket, AWS instance, or Azure Database

    Overalls are far more comfortable than pants

    The weight of the material is supported by your shoulders, and not your hips, which is far more comfortable in general

    In addition to having more room for pockets, overalls can carry heavier things without falling down, nor need for a belt

    Since the weight of the material is carried at the shoulders, bending down at the waist is easier and less restricted. The waistband no longer needs to be tight, since it no longer serves a functional purpose
