I never though about a tree that way, thank you for mentioning this. I found this page explaining the process: https://serc.carleton.edu/eslabs/carbon/1a.html

It is somewhat frustrating that big data is widely used to nudge us into buying the right detergent, but somehow not to keep us alive.

That's how microsoft ended up with the Xbox One X and its successor the Xbox Series X. Many shoppers were confused, because when the preorders for the Series X went live the sales of the One X went up 700%.

I think that is the point of twitter: it is what people say without a filter and without thinking it through. I’ve found the proper way to use it is to follow extreme opinions from the entire spectrum to get a sense of what is brewing.

My understanding may be flawed, but as far as I know you can think of an OT log and a git log as being similar. Each party generates deltas to the data structure that are recorded in the log, and when these parallel histories meet they must

While I agree that climate change is the dominant issue of our time, I disagree that media is underexposing it. There is quite a lot of unwarranted climate doomsaying. To give an example, in the coverage of natural disasters like wildfires

The thing is that brazil is mostly cutting forests down for slash and burn farming. If they modernized farming practices, the rate of deforestation would drop significantly. The solution there as with most of these questions of climate fair

8 was great on the intended devices. I used it on an asus transformer tablet/laptop and it worked really well. W10 was a step down for that machine because they dialed back the tablet UI.

8 was the first version that hibernates the kernel on shutdown so it can reload it from snapshot on boot. That’s why all windows versions since 8 boot so fast.

Ha! I had the same with windows 2000 as compared to NT4. I stayed on NT4 as long as I could, and never really liked windows 2000 because it took twice the resources to do the same job at half the speed. Windows XP was 2000 with more (ugly)

They do have support infrastructure for their customers. Youtube content creators are not customers, they’re more akin to contractors (when paid) and volunteers (when not). In fact, google is the customer in this relationship, and they are

Ah, the time of 16x16px icons. I used famfamfam until I discovered fugue, which had a similar aesthetic but three times as many icons and many more badges for making variants. https://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/icons/search

The EU cannot create a tech sector like the other blocks because of the cultural barriers. There is no common language and no common media. That means you have to launch country by country, adapting product and marketing strategy for every

Capacitive touch controls and grease do not interact well, as I am reminded every time my touch only stove hood goes to maximum ventilation until I forcefully clean the touch surface with a paper towel.

The naming is not accurate though. Many projects branch off from “development” and periodically merge into master. Calling it main more aptly describes the role it has.

This feature even existed on smartphones. I had a lumia 950 in 2015 and it used retina IR scanning to unlock. Worked pretty well, although the angle of detection was narrow.

Nonsense. Von der leyen was proposed by the council, consisting of representatives from every country, and by extension representative for the voters in every country. She was then confirmed by a majority of the EU parliament, which is dire

Supposedly windows 10X will be that thing. I have to say I find the settings / control panel dichotomy issue overblown. I rarely need to go into control panel anymore, and pretty much never without it being a clickthrough from the new

Many of the accidental decisions of the 70’s and 80’s ended up becoming de facto standards, and then actual standards, and then requirements in purchases, and then table stakes for market entry. Why must bytes have 8 bits, why do we count t

You don't need to do this, you can just make multiple classes of shares and only put one class on the market. Zuckerberg personally owns a majority share of facebook, and yet it is publicly traded. Facebook public shareholders have no

Lazy, or rushed? The pressure on cleaning staff in many office buildings is significant, especially if they’re under contract at one of the major cleaning companies. Their itineraries are timed to the minute.

I saw it more as a challenge. As with zeno’s paradox the reader is challenged to find the flaw in the logic. Maybe they are right. I often wonder about the point of building another CRUD form. We’ve taken paper forms and digitized the proce

Offering options anchors the range. Most people will choose the middle of the range, because choosing the low end makes you look foolish, and choosing the high end makes you look greedy. The choice they make has very little to do with the a

When I got a magic mouse I really tried to get used to it, because it looks so pretty, but RSI forced me to go back to logitech. The basic problem of the mouse is the touch surface. In order to allow for gestures the whole top of the mouse

This is why I am subscribed to two news papers from independent owners. It doesn't help that much though, because the overlap between the two is a lot smaller than you would think, and a significant part of that overlap is content prov

For reference, I just looked up the benchmarks for the i7 3840qm. Seems to perform in the same ballpark as an i5 10210u for multicore, which is the base cpu in the current thinkpads. Intel really hasn’t made faster cpu’s in a long time. ht

I used to think the same way about blockchain, but I then saw a presentation about self-sovereign identity and I think it could be blockchain’s killer app. This is being spearheaded through the UN and the ID2020 alliance.

If you have to do all that, it costs a lot more to develop updates. I think most developers mean well but just can't afford to do it all. For example: > should be incremental and security or bug fixes only That means maintaining m

There are very convoluted ways to backup and restore apps and data on iOS, even to go back to an older version of an app, but they require a lot of fiddling (literally, with fiddler), and if the app has changed its data format you need to h
