With DNS over https Firefox has the answer against you already built in. And back then they were very keen on implementing it as soon as possible. They even sold it as helping against censorship. It's maybe just a question of time how

I think the writing for Mozilla was on the wall for a solid decade now. The time to look for alternatives and to switch to other (pretty unknown) niche browsers was at least 5 years ago. I don't even remember the time when I downloaded

It seems to be an introduction, so just covering the basics is ok. We're still very close to the IT stone age and the IT industry is still quite archaic, so teaching archaic basics isn't that bad. In a lot of areas it's still

Libre Office Calc is pretty similar to Excel for general use. For importing csv files it has always been superior to Excel. Some niche areas in Calc are also better than Excel. Inflexible users are locked into Excel, but for general purpose

The desire to hide all traces where a proof comes from is really a problem and having more context would often be very helpful. I think some modern authors/teachers are nowadays getting good at giving more context. But mostly you have

Maybe you got some things about me wrong. I'm very much anti-fascist, but around here anything labelled antifa is quite fascist. I don't care about anything Trump. The only connection I have to Trump is that I sometimes heard old

I've seen a lot of Antifa things. They're into anti-MAGA things, have some kind of uniforms and merch and are actually quite violent. In certain places they are very visible, and aggressive. They are a good fit for a discussion ab

The thinking that sinus are basic building blocks and own frequencies is part of the problem. Fourier is a breakdown into frequencies of "sinus" waves. Sinus are fundamental in physics of some idealistic conditions, but using Sinu

Good, but not yet perfect. A lot of business is driven by week numbers. A perfect date picker should also display the week number somewhere.

This article is a good starting point for researching stupidity. Nowadays stupidity is big on the rise to power, so I appreciate anything going into researching it. The article calls the stupid unpredictable, but I think most of them are ve

Yeah, but not only the frequency is important - the wave-form is very relevant. For example if your wave-form is a triangle, listerners will tell you that it is very noisy compared to a simple sinus. If you use sinus as a base of your vecto

This subject has bothered me for a long time. My question to guys into acoustics was always: If the cochlea performs some kind of Fourier transform, what are the chances, that it uses sinus waves as a base for the vector-space? - if it did

If you look at the absorption spectrum of CO2 and historical data, I think it would be more correct to say, that CO2 has caused a noticeable increase in temperature in the past, but now absorption has reached a saturation level. The last 10

MDF was also my choice for my largest gluing project. I needed about 7m² for the 24.000 Educa. MDF is cheap and easily available in big sizes. I'd use Plywood for things <1m², it looks nice. For the 9.000s I always used paper for th

For some time there has been a race going on between Educa and Ravensburger for the worlds biggest puzzle. Some years ago Ravensburger hired a new designer and I somehow can't stand their style any-more. But Educa is still going strong

Plywood is really good. MDF is also an option. But for the size of 9.000 pieces even some sturdy paper (old posters or calendar sheets) can be good enough as a base. With good glue (e.g. some latex binder) the jigsaw puzzle will already be

People in jigsaw forums usually recommend using transparent latex binder for glue. This is easy to use on top (use transparent binder!) and works great. I glued Educas Borras Life with it (24.000 pieces). Applying the glue on top is best. A

I don't think there's much secret evil out there. I've taken a look at some people that were officially in power for something - they were nice handsome people - sometimes a bit stupid. I think the biggest problem is stupidit

I don't think it's that accurate. Evil people are rare - and lazy people usually don't cause problems. The most real damage comes from human stupidity - from the mass of people that just want to help and do something good. St

The shape is relevant if you want to evaluate measures. If you can get your hands on some good data you'll find perfect mathematical seasonal functions. This is a serious criterion to exclude any measures from having any influence on t

Well, the shapes look very seasonal... Do you know something about epidemiological curves?! The wave 2020 in Europe was often smaller than 2018. And the data was perfectly seasonal. If you know people working in nursing homes and hospitals,

To those interested in numbers it was explained early - even on TV. Anyone interested saw that it was going like a seasonal flue wave. Numbers were following strict mathematics. My area was early - the numbers peaked right before people sta
