  • In this context (IIRC) smart means “if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file”.

    Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.



  • Your take on climate change makes me more worried. Sure, I will probably be fine, but how many innocent people around the world will die until we’ve done enough to see the climate improving?

    How horrible is the world going to be to inhabit if the Gulf Stream collapses? Or other major climate disruptions occur?

    I don’t doubt the human race will survive, but why do we have to experience the pain before committing to fixing the problem?



  • Okay so in reality you don’t complete the entire frame before starting anything else. It may be 90% complete after initial sorting and flipping of pieces, so there are gaps in the border through which you can move finished portions.

    Additionally, I would typically keep most of the unsorted pieces outside the frame and then build portions inside the frame.


  • The “normal” way of starting a puzzle is to start with the edges. You can find the edge pieces easier due to the flat side, which makes it a good place to start when you have many pieces.

    You have to spread all the pieces out when you get them out of the box, so it makes sense to separate out the edge pieces while you’re spreading and flipping pieces.
