Interestingly, on my early 2015 13" MacBook Pro, the very lowest brightness setting seems to have no change in brightness on those last three subdivisions. Once I get down to one full "block" of brightness, option-shift-F1 mo

I thought I was the only one that got painful beard splinters in my fingers. Can confirm my facial hair is coarse and wiry, individual hairs seem to unravel into many strands like a steel cable.

You may have independently formulated the Pareto principle. The idea that you can get 80% of the theoretical max value for about 20% of the cost, but the next 20% of value requires 400% additional (the "missing 80%") cost. https:

I’m fairly certain China is the new Indonesia. My $100 Fender DG-7 was made in Indonesia 17 years ago, anything in that price range even inflation adjusted would be made in China now.

This is similarly done in American short-track racing as well with the “engine claim” system - I’ve normally heard of it on dirt but I wouldn’t be surprised if asphalt series do it to. Below is just one example of how these rules can be st

My greatest fear in responding was that I’d somehow manage not to fully capture it.

I’m curious, what words did they ask you to use instead? I remember in the mid-2000’s we had to stop using master/slave in reference to LDAP and database servers, and (I forget now whether it was IDE or SCSI) the switches on hard drive

Hah, I hadn’t even thought about children’s books! When my son was 1-2 years old I had probably 3-4 books like this completely memorized for bedtime. He did too, as occasionally if I would change a phrase for effect “they went to” to “they

Oh man, thanks for this! I did not realize that it was essentially to hoist the boats over uneven terrain, always assumed the canal was a straight dug channel. Never enough to go search out the answer, but it always tickled the back of my m

Is an effect like this similar to the difference between the water level of the Atlantic and Pacific? It never made intuitive sense to me that the Panama Canal for example had to deal with a significant water level difference between the tw

Similar age and experience. Office keys, property tags, t-shirts or other swag, etc. arrive in those campus mail envelopes with the little string-and-knob closure and about 50 places for addressees on them.

Hah, yes I saw that but that makes more sense to me as a panoramic artifact. The duplicated woman with different colors seems like a (possibly ML-driven?) attempt to make a more “realistic” looking photo.

The Force Touch trackpad was introduced in 2015. My 2015 MacBook Pro has one. I rarely use the “harder press” feature, but I love the adjustable click pressure (lightest setting for me), and how the same pressure anywhere on the trackpad wo

The number to look at isn’t the employee’s wage, but the employee’s cost to the company. I cost my company about $100/hr more than I make.

What I would expect is some snooping by the baseband - I’m curious, could you expand further on your techniques or findings?
