"6/6 vision is defined as the ability to resolve two points of light separated by a visual angle of one minute of arc, or about 320–286 pixels per inch for a display on a device held 25 to 30 cm from the eye." Around 200 PPI

I still prefer CoffeeScript because of its clean syntax.

(Cannot read the paywalled article.) I wonder how FaceTime was utilized, given that it's one-to-one link, not social media.

There are many type of bacteries on human skin, but body odor seems to be caused by E. Coli[1]. I found at least one study showing that coconut oil _extract_ has negative effect on E. Coli growth[2]. Of course, this is not same as using vir

That's what I thought too, but my empirical testing shows it more effective to reduce smell of sweat than commercial deodorants (e.g. AXE) or no deodorant at all. Haven't found any scientifical studies on the exact subject.

Fun fact: Javascript was originally intented to have scheme-inspired syntax, until Sun marketing team decided that it should have Java-like syntax (and name). Luckily the semantics survived. So in a sense CoffeeScript respects more the true

Complex consumer standard implementations tend to be "buggy", that's how economy works. More robust implementation after "it mostly works" level would give diminishing returns for average consumer product company.

I don't actually run many virtual machines. But if you divide 16 gigs for ten desktops => 1.6 GB per project, minus "all desktops" apps, not too much. Modern applications (esp. web apps) tend to be memory hogs. For example

I like the design of the site. It loads fast, scrolls smoothly, works in mobile as well, does not break links / history.

The fundamental explanation is that electric drivetrain's efficiency curve is rather flat, meaning that you can build a powerful drivetrain without sacrificing efficiency (= range in electric car). With ICE, you have to choose either p

Agree, calling Prius transimission a "CVT" is understatement, "electro-mechanical torque converter" would be more accurate term. Despite the Prius drivers having a reputation of being slow, the car is pretty quick, espec

I'm from Europe and learnt to drive with manual, but after getting used to my Prius' CVT, would never buy a car with manual for daily use. (Besides, my next car won't have an ICE.) If you occasionally like "sporty"

I do use syntax highlighting, but only with two additional subtle colors (one for literals, another for language keywords). Many editors come with themes resembling a decorated Christmas tree.

Raspberry Pi has one big flaw as a mobile device: it cannot sleep. If you disable peripherals etc you can get it down to ~100 mA or so when idling, which is still order of magnitude more than a real sleep mode.

Air-to-air pumps will probably always make some noise because air has relatively small thermal capacity, requiring relatively big air flow in order to transfer any meaningful amount of energy. There also exists heat pumps which transfer hea

We use heat pumps as well in Northern Europe, but to transfer heat from outside to inside. You can get even five times more heat for the invested electricity compared to direct (resistive) electric heating. The best winter optimized air-to-

Charging a 60 kWh battery in two hours requires average power of 30 kilowatts, i.e. about ten times more power than available from a regular household outlet. So you really need proper fast charging infrastructure.
