It is intentionally facing different directions since it's a different type of cutlery! But I can see how it might bother you ;)
It's great, seriously. We have been dealing with a chaotic drawer for a year, I bought the wooden strip a year ago too but never had the time and energy to actually make this ๐
Being able to make it perfectly fit our cutlery and drawer is just the cherry on top. ๐
I can see that it would be an issue if your neighbours are toxic people, unfortunately technology can't solve that. Is there something that could have remedied this or do you see this as a matter of luck?
What was your experience with it? Is there something that could have remedied the problems you had? It would be good to learn from things that didn't work.
On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn't entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.
What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It's so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it's even harder to escape it.
Unless you don't know that ^ means Ctrl ๐ฅฒ
I would not recommend addictive and harmful habits like smoking tobacco/pot and drinking as a coping mechanism, it can go real bad and can make it harder to get out of that hole again.
Its cross-platform support (not just for using but also for building it) is not there yet, and it is quite huge and unstandardized with only one full implementation. I'd agree the last part will change with age, but given the frequent large changes and feature additions I am afraid it will be harder and harder and it is simply too complex and fast-moving for many low-level applications. It is closer to C++ than C in my eyes. I'd be happy seeing it replace C++ though for its memory safety benefits!
C is old, ubiquitous and still does not have a good replacement for its low-level cross-platform usecases, so I'll believe it when I see it ๐
Just go back to 4chan, nobody wants to read that shit here.
Why not go even further? Just switch off the pesky computer entirely. No noise, not even coil whine.
Then perhaps a better phrasing is "may be the only way to feel warm and get to sleep", even if it doesn't actually warm you.
