Thanks for the idea, somehow didn't even think that I can order 100 small zip-lock bags for less than $1.50 to finally organize all that small electronic and photographic crap.

Is .NET a viable platform for cross-platform data analysis and visualization tool development now? Python is king here, it sure has everything, but I'm tired of its non-type-safety. From what experience I've had, C# is a very ergo

While x-ray is not accessible, for this specific risk one could use some cheap induction-based metal detector to spot-check the presence of rebar within walls.

They are absolutely worth it! Easy defrosting, uniform reheating, less noise, especially if it’s a rotation-free model like Panasonic NN-DS596B.

Make a detailed OpenStreetMap of your favorite village? Need to check licensing though, OSM has some very strict rules on data rights.

Does not work on ipad. Directs to install mobile app, but that only works in iphone emulation mode. “Request desktop website” doesn’t help either.

"hope for the best and plan for the worst." – My favorite alternative though not strictly equivalent formulation is "Limit worst-case damage, maximize best-case benefit". Like, bring scenarios that you truly cannot affor

I'd rather hope that basic linear algebra and the notion of vectorized function application becomes universal math knowledge like addition and multiplication, as basic programming slowly becomes. We need languages and compilers with fi

This, and in general setting LED brightness to minimum necessary to get target brightness with fully open LCD, taking into account interaction of nearby LEDs (light from one LED spreads to adjacent cells, thus you could minimize brightness

I'm not sure halo is an issue with modern miniLEDs. I've actually worked with research-grade local dimming algorithms and it's relatively easy to get a perceptually nearly perfect picture if you have a calibrated backlight an

MBP is miniLED, with LCD as a primary light modulator and a relatively (compared to older local dimmed displays) high-resolution backlight. I.e. you have 3456‑by‑2234 LCD pixels that filter light, but like 300-by-100 light sources (LEDs) be

And I was excited about possible use of multiple signal levels per cell.. Seriously though, how's the state of analog or multi-level memory? With rather weak data preservation guarantees, of course. Could get to breakthrough performanc

It’s just US implementing proper public transportation via contemporary means. I’ve always thought US has the advantage of a genuine need for robotaxis compared to other advanced economies where public transport already works well.

M1 Macbooks are alien technology compared to Windows (performance and battery life) or Lunux (professional app support) ones. The main barrier to switch is different keyboard layout — after a month of using Mac as a home PC (switching from

What you use on Mac for window management? Recently switched from Linux Mint Cinnamon, default window management feels like a downgrade, maybe I’m holding it wrong?

Everyone here says cash is anonymous, but is it really? Every note has a number, and I would be surprised if most ATMs don’t record them. With current technology it’s really cheap to OCR and track these numbers everywhere.

And for multimedia work it matters often more, directly correlating with responsiveness of UI when editing multilayered tens-of-megapixel images or, worse, hi-res videos with tons of effects. I’m not familiar with 3D, but it’s probably even

As a counter-recommendation, Topaz’s much-advertised Gigapixel AI is rarely useful. Their Denoise and Sharpen apps are good though.

These are not only text fonts, but continuously-variable fonts, these can be very labor intensive. Are there other open source variable fonts at all?

True, my company was founded basically as an agglomeration of several small companies where everyone knew each other, but due to big investment and commitments it was built with more formal business processes from the start. Old-timers like
