As a long-time eBirder this is something that can be stressful initially, but goes away when you understand more about the math. eBird has excellent documentation of what they hope for [0], but to simplify it I'll just say you should m

Technically that game was Win 3.1, not DOS (although Win 3.1 ran on top of DOS, so...). Still a very fun game and my first exposure to RPGs.

There are obviously many ways to do this comparison, but going off Wikipedia's pricing for most recent Intel processors. Their highest end mobile processor is currently the i7-1185G7 which apparently retails for $426. Let's compar

I've read this type of comment a few times on HN and always find it interesting. I've been using Bing for probably 10 years on desktop and Google on my phone (because Android). Generally I've found that I prefer the Bing resu

It makes me a little nauseous to think about all the resources going to tracking down these insects, but this is truly an area where an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure. The scope of North America's invasive species pro

I think you can make really strong arguments for productivity both being higher than normal times (due to overwork, less options for non-work activities, etc.) and lower than normal (due to additional childcare responsibilities, overall str

IIRC, Backblaze used to install consumer grade drives because they found that whatever they saved in increased reliability and warranty more was more than offset by the price savings with consumer drives. I didn't go through the SKU&#x

I was homeschooled k-10th grade, after which I entered community college. Certainly social contact and learning is something you want to encourage, but I would not let that hold you back from homeschooling your son if you feel it's wor

Perhaps this is a cynical view, but as someone who spent a thousands of hours in MS offices throughout the world, they could hit this target essentially overnight if they brought many of the vendor employees on staff as FTE's. Microsof

To my knowledge, steel guitars typically don't even have frets, so it would be essentially impossible.

I must admit to being a bit mystified by the apparent flourishing the theatre industry has had in the last decade or so. The only thing I could see keeping the cinemas expanding was a steady stream of comic book based movies being released,

R/G colorblind here. I didn't realize how much I relied on traffic light order until I visited Houston, TX where the lights were horizontal. It was a very alarming experience.

Not the OP, but I'm also R/G color blind and I don't believe I'd have any issues with those extreme versions of R and G. My issues happen with lighter shades. For instance, 00AA00 and 00BB00 are very hard for me. 00CC00

I remember standing outside a few years ago and glancing up and seeing a plane which, even ~40,000ft up, appeared huge. I pulled out my phone and looked it up on an aircraft tracking app and it was an A380.

For those of you, who like me, couldn't remember what a Tardigrade is, they're microscopic animals that live in water and are also known as Water Bears. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade All I can thin

Is this based on anything other than an gut distrust of "chemicals"? I am, admittedly, a layman as well, but my understanding is that fertilizers are essentially distillations of the important elements (Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosph

The article seemed pretty devoid of technical details and left me curious as well. That said, this sentence might give us some insight: "The loggers took years to perfect and I can still remember the excitement of getting the first one

The 4a also uses a lower power SOC and a 60hz screen, which is likely to make a more substantial difference.

Completely agree. Given that a lot of smartphone maker's model has been to wait for Apple to do something and then copy it (whether it was a good idea or not) I was really surprised that wireless charging didn't become a standard

It's essentially impossible to buy a consumer TV that's not "smart" these days. There are commercial TV's/monitors, but those are both expensive and also typically not focused on image quality. Best solution is

There is actually a show on the Discovery Channel called Dino Hunters which is about people who make their living finding and selling dinosaur bones. Presumably your dream is possible, assuming you have access to a good deal of private land

It seems like the ultimate lesson of the Segway is not to over-hype your product. I recall reading quotes from people who had seen the device back when it was just (IIRC) "It" and they said things like "cities will be redesig

Unrelated to the fonts, but I really love that CSS they're using to emulate the ANSI interfaces of my youth. Perhaps it's just a product of my age, but I find it a lot more usable then a lot of similar website interfaces.

The level of response is going to depend a lot on the type of call and time of year. Playing a song to a bird that's on territory during the breeding season will often elicit a very aggressive response. Of course, this assumes you&#x27
