I can confirm that I had a similar feeling after wearing the the AirPods Pro for just about an hour. I tested them for a few days and returned them in the end. However, my Sennheiser over-ear ANC headphones (MB660) have a much better ANC ef

In my experience, programmers who code 8 hours straight produce code of mediocre quality (at best). I mean, we all know the discussion about lines of code. Writing less code to solve the same problem with the same readability is preferable.

What you call CEO speak is more or less part of normal human communication. Normal in the sense, that when you communicate towards a group, you anticipate the effect your words will have and choose them accordingly. The actual content becom

You are right, that looking down is more comfortable than looking up when sitting straight. However, I like it better to look up than to look left or right and my reasoning is that it is symmetrical. Therefore, I prefer to have the secondar

OT: I am wondering about the 9:05 time. Is this a new thing to start meetings after the full hour? During the pandemic I noticed that many meeting are organized without any break in between. So at my company we tried to set the default end

Reducing that situation to a 'choice' is (from an analytical standpoint) just wrong, because the mechanics at work are a lot more complex. In the end, you can say it is a choice, but what is a choice worth, if you don't know

Nice idea. Ideas for optimization: - use some kind of seed from a URL, so that people can share them. - How about multi-monitor setups? The multi-monitor setup is something I struggled a bit. My two monitors are stacked vertically. So I use

Given that in English, as well as in German, contrary to the roman letters, the numbers are arabic signs, I wonder in which direction arabs spell their numbers. Does anybody know?

Sounds great, I bought a pair just yesterday ;-) I am really looking forward to trying them out. So far I have $40 NoName true-wireless headphones [1] and Sennheiser over-ear ANC headpones (MB660). I really like those $40 headphones, but sa

From my perspective that is not so much a reset/normalize.css but more something like a base.css. A reset.css is supposed to create a common truth across different browsers. However, this doesn't concern so much with different bro

Wow! I like the idea and the execution very much. However, the pricing model is not so much my taste. The Lifetime license seems somewhat cheap, but $24 per month feels a bit expensive for a casual user.

It is not. But that way you could pretend to have an objective definition of the term 'real OS' and exclude Windows while including most other major OS.

It is a joke to say that it is not a real OS. But if you want to argue: You could say that a 'real OS' must be 'mostly POSIX-compliant' [1]. That way most other OS (Linux, MacOS, iOS) but not Windows would be included in
