Even if you do not use the ads you see to make your decision, they influence you. I already knew this but got very conscious of it when I was surprised to go to McDonalds and then discovered that they had new ads on my full commute route. E

I never questioned the limitations for these upgrades… Thanks for reminding me that everything is possible, I may try Opencore to keep it even longer !

If we are going this way… I still use a mid-2012 MBP as my main workstation. Last one with upgrade capabilities, now it has two fast SSDs and maximum Ram. I changed the battery once. Only shame is that it doesn’t get major MacOS upgrades an

Another good engineering principle is to write a lot of tests. I know it is a basic rule of engineering but it is not always followed. However, beware as the result of your test will also be seen by auditors, so if you refactor a system, it

Easy where there is a lot of mountains (japan, Austria, France), harder in flat countries. Interesting part of the article on electrolysis to use the lighter than air H2 instead of pumping water up. Smells a lot like over-engineering but se

Aside from the tweet controversy, I think the article has a point. It is true that AI is providing even more leverage than the other tech layers before it. Probably the same for VR, if it gets adoption. However, the question is : Will this

I am not an expert but it seems like a great source to understand chips without getting top deep. It reminds me the classic « Nand 2 Tetris » course [1] with less involvement indeed. Thanks for the developer and thanks for sharing. Curious

Sounds to you, and to me too. However there is as many different ways to do vacations as there are people. Some like to do nothing on a beach for days, others to live an adventure or meet people. I can totally understand why you want a tota

And uranium also comes from nuclear reactions before/outside our planet. In the end, we only use current or stored production of nuclear cosmic energy coming from E=mc2 isn't it ? https://world-nuclear.org/informat

Interesting subject often overlooked in our humanist (as valuing human life over everything) societies. On the subject, the bias I have found the most often when discussing it is when someone says that « a life has no price, everything shou

I do not know why the post is flagged, but I am not surprised as I only see a weak link between the article and the title and it is definitely political. And I am surprised so few comments are about the content. However, the subject is stil

According to game theory, you should have empathy but not too much. Its such a powerful theoretical finding for every aspect of life. I found it best explained in the Veritasium video on game theory [1] [1]: https://m.youtube.com

Nice to see such an extensive work by such a recognized scientific body. It gives hope in a future more sustainable world and I think we need it. To be fair, the timing is great, nuclear energy is strongly coming back after having been « ou

In short, a survivor bias. I didn’t thought about it and it is possibly true ! There is probably as much if not more things produced today that will last many decades, but the only one we see of the past are those which survived.

I can concur with personal experience : I learned to fly at a young age (14-15 year old) and was able to go solo and get licensed with the minimum required hours and age due to hundreds of hours of sim. Even to practice every procedure tha

Interesting subject tackling two important home issues at the same time : ventilation and heat exchange. It seems like a way to get the best of both worlds. However, I do not know why this forum is relevant or interesting. DIY solutions are

The website is surfing on a trend of people worrying about the price of things. However, I would argue most of things are cheap, even today. Their very low price in the last decade(s) was maybe an anomaly due to huge income inequalities in

At the time, it already costed a huge premium. If you get to the basic cost in terms of ressources, it is probably less expensive to do elaborate work like this today due to better knowledge and tools. But maybe today, most of (new) homebuy

Thanks ! Sorry I overlooked this. Did a little research and I think the most confusing in this is the ton. At least, pints, gallons and miles have a different name than the metric unit and are way different than their SI equivalent. Not clo

Yes, a very confusing error. The metric time is the SI time (24h 60m 60s). The decimal time is base 10. French tried to get it used during the revolution and it did not work. Its the only unit that resisted decimalization, with a couple oth

My view on hydrogen is that we will look at it like pressurized air in the 1900’s. Some industrial applications exists but its not the silver bullet many articles are talking about. It is inefficient and we shouldn’t spend many ressources o

Of course, I do not envision getting users. Only for fun and training - I think having examples of simple solutions to seemingly hard problems in mind makes it easier to come up with one in the future.

I am not sure the data model is the problem here. I feel like the journalist tried really hard to make a case against scoring (which I do not like either), but overlooked the fact that the whole system in which its embedded is bad. The case

Interesting I wonder if its seems easy because it’s explained simply or if it really is simple to put in place. I want to make a clone now, just to try. At least for this inspiration, this article was well worth the read. Thanks !

Once again a publication that points to the overconsumption problem of the wealthiest. I think we lack target models to show people what is too much. Carbon footprint calculators are a nice tool for this. Air travel impact always blow me of

Following your thought process, even better is everyone on bikes. That’s what is happening slowly in many developed cities. Everyone on a motorcycle (mostly scooters) is what you have in southeast Asia. And true, it allows much higher densi
