Modern technology erases it too. I am already seeing the drives that I used in college to store my raw camera files and LR catalogs degrade to the point of not being able to read the data as I try this month to move them to fresh storage. F

I’m a hobbyist videographer and I’m not above setting up my lighting (3-point with octobox, strip box, and hair snoot) and camera (a7s iii with G lens) as a webcam to impress. I’ve recorded a few instructional videos at work with it, set it

While I agree with everything you said in general, Ken Rockwell seems to buck the trend for photography gear, especially lenses.

Our house is electrically heated via a heat pump, which has appreciably more efficiency than a resistance heater (or computer). Here's a neat video about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J52mDjZzto

It's possible if you substitute "without modifying the HTML" with "without modifying the HTML for styling purposes." That's because the HTML is adversely and unnecessarily bare-bones, missing semantic markup th

The list would be only one item long today, because they're only enabling one item per day. In that way it reminds me of the old web dev advent calendar slash blog, 24 Ways, which was really popular in the days when IE7, IE8, and Chrom

And yet the _user_ problem he describes Napster solving, “type a song name and hear it play,” is currently solved by Spotify which is WAY more popular than BitTorrent.

To get a 1500 with an 8ft bed, you have to get the "1500 Classic" -- they're halfway through a refresh, splitting it across multiple model years and starting with the crew cab + small bed.

One of the things I need a truck for is to tow a trailer with cows inside to (and back from) a facility that can extract eggs, implant embryos, etc. Unfortunately, that route doesn't follow any interstate highways and is about 180 mile

I own a cow. Because I own a cow, I often need to get bales of hay from the local co-op. I need a bed (or a trailer) to bring those back to the farm. A pickup can do this. I grow vegetables. Because I grow vegetables, I occasionally need to

I live just outside a small town (3,000 population), and I get 20mbit/s up and down via a local WISP that uses Ubiquiti PTMP hardware atop the local water tower. I pay $125/mo for the privilege, but it is enough for both me and my

I live outside of a rural town on 29 acres and my 4G gets 4Mpbs and my WISP provides 20Mbps. It’s no Google Fiber, but it’s enough to let my wife and me both work remotely and be on video calls most of every workday. That said, I just signe

The parent comment asked about the masks most people wear. I'm under the impression most people aren't wearing N95 masks, let alone N95 respirators. I refuse to wear a cloth face covering--I only wear N95 respirators with a silico

Fewer LoC isn't always better for maintenance. I'd certainly rather have my team maintain 1KLoC of JavaScript than 50LoC of Brainfuck.

If the drug's patent is about to expire, doesn't that mean generics will soon be available and the high-cost problem will be solved through competition?

Stripping the non-digit characters would allow "123,456" to validate instead of only accepting "123456" -- which defeats the whole purpose of printing the number with numerical separators (to prevent copy/paste).

That's because if you want to write for the Web Platform, you haven't been able to switch languages; you were largely stuck with JavaScript for decades. Contrast that to writing for the Windows Platform--you could easily choose on

Another blast from the past: Lala. Before Apple bought them, you could buy the rights to stream any song from their website for 10 cents. This was during the era of dollar downloads, so you essentially got a steep discount in exchange for n

I've experienced this outside of protests. My wife and I were driving somewhere near downtown St. Louis, on a part of the interstate where there are tall concrete barriers between the directions of traffic. There was a complete log jam
