Bangkok doesn't have nearly the noise issues of Jakarta; the traffic proceeds without every vehicle beeping most of the time in Bangkok. Also no prayer calls.

It's pretty difficult to accelerate hundreds of tons (or even a lot less than that) of stuff out of the gravity well of the Sun. Let's start by terrorising things a bit closer to home (the moon, Mars)

The short story "The Discrete Charm of the Turing Machine" by Greg Egan deals with this nicely. I won't give away the ending though.

I had the original Galaxy S, and that was very much not pure Android, and no other Galaxy I've had has been (so presume the S2 wasn't either). Prior to Android, they had their own OS, and wanted to continue the UI/UX rather t

My observation is not that they are sometimes synchronised, but some subset of the towers are synchronised (this was my observation in Melbourne AU). Upon asking reddit, it appears that it is the FAA-preferred option that all lights are syn

Prior to modern hygiene, most humans probably had worms, as well as having to constantly battle other pathogens. Immune systems had no time for peanuts in the face of these other threats.

What does 'Kobo support' mean? Anyone can publish an epub, which a Kobo can read. Are you talking integration into the Kobo store?

True, but that DRM is relatively easy to handle, and is sort-of a standard (OK, I know Adobe handles it, but it's not a complete walled garden like Kindle). I can borrow an ebook from my library using my browser, download the DRM'

The longer term view is that climate change is a risk to biodiversity.

It's actually a great first choice for a professional application, in that you can get a prototype up and running much faster than a native SDK, iterate quickly, and try things out on a repl. In fact, it's used in industrial setti

In a way, MicroPython already is an OS, in that it provides a bunch of services (filesystem, network, scheduling). It's up to you whether you want to access those through a script or a command line (repl)

I think a key part of a gateway product is community. That is what Arduino has, and what RPi has. It can also exist separate to products (e.g. micropython)

I'm in Australia, where most hikes top out at a week (there are a few longer ones now). I have also noticed that on the more popular/developed hikes that have shelters sometimes now provide USB charging ports.

by askvictor 1y ago
OK; I had never considered hikes where there's a charging point along the way. I guess that's becoming a thing now.

I think the backlash against Google Glass was counterproductive - the product was intentionally made to be obvious that someone was wearing it. But because of the backlash, companies that want to do this kind of tech now have to hide it, su

Also, we're now finding males have a hormonal cycle, but it's less obvious or predictable than females' so those variables have probably been in there all along, just unknown.

I've given up on my hobby apps. The coding side is easy; the bureaucracy of the app store makes in completely not worth it unless you're a company.
