I think everyone's choices are based around money (wealthy or not). I think the crux of what you're getting at is that the opportunity cost of choices when you're not wealthy is inherently stressful. If the choice is between

I used to repair phones on the side back around the iPhone 4S. It was a great time, where anyone with patience and the ability to follow instructions could replace a screen (for <$10 depending on the device), camera, battery, etc. Most r

I'll answer your question with a story. My grandfather used to use Internet Explorer. I tried to get him on Chrome, but he refused to even open it since it was "too difficult". One day I removed IE from the desktop and change

I wonder how much work it would be to turn it into a proper CAD tool. I would donate a significant chunk of my paycheck to Blender if it supported parametric CAD. Obviously that would be pocket change to the Blender Foundation, but if enoug

I once had a manager that, when asked why we don’t hire a QA team, said, “We don’t need one because we have really good engineers”. :/

I find it really nice that we have county based TLDs. If I google search for places to buy XYZ and I see xyz.ca, I know in buying from a Canadian website. Also, you can have country specific information, eg immigration.co.uk, which is prett

It seems like Apple's retaliation was prompted by Epic's lawsuit -- not by the (trivial) breach of ToS. The precedence Apple wants to set is: break ToS, get kicked off the store. Break ToS and then try to take Apple to court, get

That’s been exactly my experience with amateur radio. I’ve given my friends the spiel about how cool it is that I can use the EM spectrum to send my voice through the air to the other side of town. And how other people have put up repeaters

This reminds me of the "car recall" evaluation from Fight Club: > Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C

Life skills are not completely disjoint from current curriculum subjects. You don't need to dedicate an hour every day to a class called "Life skills" (and if you did I suspect many children would pay less attention). Why not

Nothing is said about the hardware (which will be posted Sept 12), but I wonder what processor they're using. There have been a lot of advances in lower power processors over these last years. I was once at a conference where Atmel was

Even better, why not use a mechanical scale? Digital is sure easier to read (plus you get neat features like tare and unit conversion), but a plain old mechanical force measure doesn't require batteries at all .

> This is parenting vs schooling We (collectively) want all children to have a good foundation of life skills by the time they reach adulthood. Unfortunately there is no curriculum for what a parent must teach their children. Luckily, th

I know that’s tongue in cheek, but I’d really appreciate having a NSFW text filter. Some of my CX team is getting harassed by trolls who send profane messages and racial slurs through the Zendesk Chat interface. Zendesk does not have a way

In order to test developer beta releases, you need a paid Apple developer account. Obviously it wouldn't be great if you had to pay $99 for every device (or employee at your business) just to test on the latest beta release, so Apple a

Free certificates last a week. You can also pay Apple $99 to get a certificate that lasts a year, or pay a "UDID registration" website around $10 for the same (with some limitations).

I would absolutely love to do this but AMD is somewhat annoying when running MacOS. 1. Really bad VM support. No Hypervisor framwork, which means problems with Docker (apparently some workarounds for Docker specifically, but not 100% stable

I have black keycaps with very faint grey letters on the front (not top). It gives the same aesthetic but if I ever forget a punctuation I can tilt my gaze a bit lower and find it.

I usually just put the cup upside down in a small container. If there's any melting the water will collect in the container. Another poster said use an upside down water bottle, which sounds like an even better option.

I think the "uncanny valley" is the best place we can be right now. I drive a Toyota with adaptive radar cruise control, pre-collision braking, etc. I don't trust it 100%. Countless times I'll be cruising at 100km/h

Not all shortcuts but a good few. Ctrl-A/E to go to the beginning/end of a line, for example. You can even rebind these shortcuts and they’ll work in any text field. There’s even a hack to enable Vi-like shortcuts.

Looks to be the Sharp “Memory” LCDs. They’re highly reflective so don’t require backlights like traditional LCDs. Think e-ink. So any colour LED can be used as embellishment, including orange.

Seems like that would do a lot of harm to your project. GPL isn't the only way to restrict commercial use. It's definitely the best way to annoy people working on non-commercial OSS with any other license though.

That's a good point. I wonder if Apple Silicon will give game console emulators a leg up.

I don't think the rates are based on competition. If I make an app, I can publish it on: - App Store, and get 70% cut of X users - Play Store, and get 70% cut of Y users - Both, and get 70% cut of (X+Y) users So as long as I can cover

Very cool! I was a bit confused with the marking criteria. For example, my solution for "list all files on one line" appears to work correctly but is said to be incorrect. shopt -s dotglob; for i in *; do echo -n "$i &q

A lot, actually. Tesla batteries are capable of 1500A @ 350V (and much more on a temporary basis, ie Ludicrous mode), which is already 535kW ≈ 717 HP.
