> Everyone assumes you’re just a regular person who opts to perform poorly. Man isn't that the truth. I can't begin to count the amount of times I've been accused of being lazy, or the times I've been told I could amo

The real trouble starts when sales can dictate what engineering works on. I did an internship at a company with a 10:1 sales:engineering ratio and it was living hell . You'd have salespeople coming in three times a day with the equiva

IIRC there's more than one incident report that'll mention something like "40 dents in the ceiling" from where all the unseatbelted folks got launched. If you're seated in an airplane please make sure you've

That's odd, AFAIK the EU only requires a warning at a certain volume level. My android phone will give you a warning that you've set the volume to the limit once, but then allows you to increase it further after dismissing the w

"within" and "with" are not synonymous. You can still distribute non-open-source software along with nmap. You cannot embed nmap in non-open-source software.

I'm assuming 5G/LTE/etc works on the link layer, so TCP shouldn't notice at all aside from a dropped packet here or there.

Flat bottom cast iron woks work very well on induction stoves. I can get it to wokking temperatures in minutes, which would take practically forever on any reasonably sized gas stove.

The use case for this sort of thing I like best is extending objects without touching the object. E.g. in D to convert between different types you can use std.conv: import std.conv; "123".to!int; 123.to!string; I

re point 3: It's really hard to overstate how impressive the sound an organ makes is. I've had the pleasure of being in a proper old-timey church with a proper old-timey organ when the organist decided to play a couple songs. It f

Case in point: the local hospital here has the operating theaters in the middle. on all floors except the ground floor. Walking through the operating theaters is a no-no so you'll sometimes find yourself going to the ground floor, walk

In python2 you can easily mix encoded and unencoded strings. This doesn't actually work, but at worst it'll produce mangled strings. You used to see this sort of thing online quite a lot with webpages having all sorts of weird c

So other than the going-sideways thing, there's a bunch of stuff you can do with the construction of your rocket so you get more headroom for mistakes. The main thing is "asparagus staging", which is where you set up fuel tra

Angling the wheels slightly outward would at least work to course-correct if the weight of the contraption gets slung out. If the car leans left it'll have the most weight on the left-angled wheels, putting it back on all four wheels.

He didn't pay for that Picasso. He paid for a receipt stating he owns that Picasso signed by crazy uncle Eddie. When you buy an e-book you don't pay for "proof of ownership" like with an NFT. When you buy an e-book you g

It's possible to build a passively stabilized helicopter and a lot of modern model helicopters use that method. You can even get away with two axis control!

I don't have kids myself, but having been a kid I've ridden a bakfiets on many occasions, never mind living near a primary school where a lot of kids get dropped off by bakfiets. I'm sure where you live a bakfiets is a less

Yeah helmets when cycling are not a thing in the Netherlands. There's plenty of discussion about the pros and cons of that. Generally I figure it's not really more dangerous than walking.

In general the "best" solution here is to have URLs with a time-limited token. S3 and the likes make this pretty easy to set up, but there's no reason you couldn't roll your own solution.

The modern equivalent of having a "sleep" button on the keyboard is only a marginal improvement. Such a time waster.

Mine didn't even have any backtracking at all. It'd just keep blowing stuff up until it happened to stumble on a solution. Obviously that only works if your tileset allows for many solutions, if there's only a single solution

There's also the thing where basically no one here uses credit cards at all, let alone use them at shops. Accepting them requires a bunch of infrastructure for a quite small group of people.
