Stretch denim drives me insane. Not only is it much thinner and more fragile it's also just straight up a time bomb. Given enough time the elastic just deteriorates and you get super weird wrinkles all over. Not to mention that pants t

Back in the olden times overcharging like that would be dealt with the same way as theft would. I'm not entirely convinced it's the wrong way to go about things. It's how the concept of a bakers dozen came to be. Better give

Even modern entry level Rigol scopes have external trigger inputs. I've got like one step up from the cheapest model and it has an external trigger input. I think the idea there is that you'd use a bunch of these scopes for the QA

To be clear the specific intervention used here is very rare. It's really not business as usual, but it's also not nation state shenanigans luckily. Just regular old grift.

We've also currently got an outgoing cabinet, meaning they aren't really supposed to make major decisions outside of emergencies. That has always been one of those things where it's basically up to the honor of the politician

Believe it or not, but the dutch government has agency. It's not impossible for US pressure to be a factor, but I think it's more likely the management of the company was planning to move production to china or something like th

I've started programming later than DOS (probably around win95 or so) but I still have a reflex to hit ctrl-s three times basically any time I stop typing. You only need to lose hours of work once or twice to learn that lesson!

Some more context from a dutch news source[0]: The ministry of economic affairs intervened out of a fear that crucial technological skills and capacities will leave the Netherlands and Europe. The ministry stated in a press release[1] that

if you're forced to see ads, it makes sense to opt for ads for things you might actually want. Of course that's ignoring the whole tracking business and that "targeted ads" are still a complete crapshoot.

For what it's worth VAT isn't uniform across the EU either. IIRC the EU specifies minimums, but countries are allowed higher rates and can manage their own exclusions too.

There's definitely a subset of people out there that are using CoCs as a way to install levers in organisations they can pull. I'm not completely burnt on the concept of CoCs but I definitely am very wary about them and the peop

I think the core difference there is that the holodeck character feels like a character that is playing a person (because it is of course) whereas the LLM feels more like someone lying to you about who they are. When watching a play the act

For what it's worth GPT-OSS-20b thinks about the puzzle for a LONG time and then comes up with a... solution of sorts? It doesn't peg the puzzle as not making any sense, but at least it tries to solve the puzzle presented, and doe

The problem is not the significant whitespace. It's producing serialized data using a templating language. That's never going to be a good solution to anything.

As far as I can tell from previous failures, teslas will only attempt to avoid obstacles they recognize. How anyone could set up a self driving system like that and think it's a good idea is beyond me.

While true, it's also important to remind that until the 70s we were on a path to MORE car traffic, MORE traffic deaths, etc. It took a significant protest for the tide to turn. Google around for "Stop de kindremoord" -- whic

I remember watching a podcast at the time where they were making fun of the word selfie for being an absurd unnecessary word. I remember vehemently agreeing. In hindsight I don't know wth I was thinking.

A lot of older cameras (and early phones too) would have a small mirror next to the lens, specifically for taking photos like that. The word selfie is kind of recent. The concept of taking a photo of yourself is probably as old as the inv
