I went all metric when we started the new millennium. I try to do all my personal measurements in metric. It has been my own personal battle to make progress, every little bit helps.. It's funny how life fights with you though. My w

I know, and I get it. Maybe "mini-tower" is the wrong description. It should be a maxi-cube. I'm not holding my breath for it though, the things they sell huge numbers of aren't terribly configurable or expandable

They just need some sort of minitower, a mac mini with a couple slots, a couple m.2 connectors and room for 64GB of removable memory.. I don't know why but I've thought something like that would almost be an ideal vehicle for xe

Where did Disney get all this delivery cred? They do seem to be taking their time and they've been gobbling things up and certainly have the content. Aren't they just an old media company though? I remember when Disney Channel

I don't want to disparage any project or guess the motivation but there have been some undercurrents of anti-GPL sentiment at times and anti-complexity. Folks have sort of backed it up by posting some links to things that aren't

It's also arguably not acceptable. There have been allegations of fairly large amounts of money changing hand for in some of the deals, promoters and sponsors tend to frown upon that stuff, as do sports books and it might be against

+++ You don't have to travel far to do this. Any medium sized city in the US will have soup kitchens and organizations that try to help the homeless, volunteer some time and energy and you'll get a radical perspective reset. A

I have over 10 years of professional C++ and helped teach a course on it in college. One of my observations, and I may be off, is that a fair number of C++ users tend to take on a kind of macho attitude about it: it's a hammer for

I have never worked for Amazon so I'm just speculating but if you have a culture of being data driven, specifically in the ways you optimize things then I'm guessing you'll probably be pretty successful and it's not a g

I don't know what your Honda experience has been, but for a very competitive price you can buy an insanely reliable car that you will probably become bored with before you need to replace (so long as you change the oil regularly) Nobod

Tesla thinks the logistics IP is valuable, does anyone else' opinion matter? Didn't Sergey Aleynikov get nailed to the cross for "stealing" something that didn't matter?

When I last bought a house, I had an agent to show me houses. Then when it came offer time, I actually had my lawyer do the final review and he essentially did the bulk of the negotiation, the agent was simply a mouth piece with access

There is nothing new here, if you piss off someone that is wealthy and they have vendetta, and you're not wealthy, they can make your life difficult. Whistle blowers take huge risks. Now we can talk about if that's the way we w

WADA and most sports have exemptions. A so-called "Therapeutic Usage Exemption" or TUE. They are easy enough to get that team doctors for certain cycling teams have abused them. The female drug is the interesting one. Typica

There might be some pride, I have a fairly highend bike and I hate not riding it well. I'd much rather get dropped on one of my middle bikes than on my best weapon... The difference between some of those mid-level bikes and superbike

I would spin culture the other way too. Sears was a more premium company. They had commission salesmen working the floors. (I think it was as recently as like 2010ish, I walked in to one and looked too long at something was was swarmed)

Not just is it intact, but is there really an alternative ML/AI platform out there? They're still the best (only?) game in town with the full stack. And you can go buy or lease access to their parts right now and get radical pe

I'm sorry to hear that. I wish the best for your family. Is there something unique to tumblr that makes this content thrive there? If tumblr cleans their stuff up (and I know there are legitimate stuff that is impacted by that) won&#

What's your long term game plan with that? At some age, they'll get a device, are you just hoping for the best when that happens? Or "you pay for it, it's your problem" or what? We limit device time and I try to

Is there any evidence of MPEG showing a bias in favor or patents? The different standards they define seem to have fairly well defined goals and then, to my casual observer's eye, they've had fairly concrete technical reasons f

Onlooker since GNOME was being called Teak.. KDE initially used QT which didn't have a satisfying license. Possibly incompatible, I'm not sure it was ever resolved entirely as to what the condition of things was. What was clear

Why is it such a dog whistle? What's mindblowing is the rage that seems to pour out of, mostly, non-contributors when this stuff comes up. There is a more fundamental insecurity or just a fundamental disrespect that some of these folk

Google "hate" is a product of their success. IBM, MS, Apple, they all get it or have had it too. What is frustrating with plus though, it was clear from outside Google that the company wasn't completely behind it. It also

Linking it to "PC" or "women" I think sort of undermines it on a larger level. To take part in opensource, especially a big project like Linux you have to be willing to put yourself out there a little bit. You have to

This is slightly off topic, but I'll ask. I refinanced my house and as part of the process I get copies of the credit reports pulled. Anyone know why they last a lot longer than 7 years? It has all my mailing addresses for over 20 y

How should ls coloring work in your view? ls just does the file system reading and then some other tool parses the ls output matches some expressions and adds color? Or something like that? I suppose it's just a generic colorizer to

Are there any interesting papers on formal verification of some of the most modern machine learning algorithms? Clearly when we "verify" Waymo or Tesla auto-pilot, we're going to want to use that stuff, right? Surely they wo
