It's the dry climate. Western Europe is similar. Coming from New England it blew my mind they barely even know what insect screens are in France/Germany/Switzerland. Just an unbelievable lack of insects compared to the ea

In my experience the iPad & iPhone cannot approach the dim levels side-lit eInk readers can. The minimum brightness on iPad/iPhone is about 50% of max on my Kindle Oasis, so it might be hard to do a realistic study comparing the

iPad on maximum brightness is what they were using. They sure buried it! That would be close to painful and certainly very unpleasant in a dim room at night.. WTH were the study authors thinking? The iPad won't even do that without th

This kind of developer is always trying to bring something into the stack with an ulterior motive of being able to put that new piece of tech into their resume as another bullet point. It's a HUGE problem.. the devs who do it also tend

I'm 44 and can agree with some of what you say. I started snowboarding at 20 after skiing as a kid. My hips are mostly OK in the lift line but otherwise I get what you're saying. Adjusting your stance might help with that. Ot

I like these articles.. they harken back to the days of the web before everything was all about advertising and SEO. I've been snowboarding for 21 years.. before that I skied for about 8 or 9 as a kid. I also did a lot of XC skiing,

I also have definitely had this on my 2021 Intel 16” MBP but NOT on my M1 MBP. Intel is on Big Sur due to software compatibility, M1 is on Monterey.

I guess I fell into the same trap as a lot of others reading this and commenting it and having the programmer side of my brain see one thing and the musician side see something else. Computer programs must follow the rules... the rules get

Knowing the mathematical ratio of the root to it's Major 7th is of course far less important than knowing what they sound like, being able to hear the difference between a minor/major/diminished/augmented 7th, and knowin

It's only taught as a series of facts to remember if you're not involved in practical application.. AKA actually playing music. If you're getting a practical education in this stuff you learn bits of theory right at the point

This Blog post seems like it will be a career limiting move if the writer is applying to jobs and the hiring managers/recruiters google them.

We've got some malls around where I live (suburban) that did actually build multi-story apartments/condo towers into the design of the mall where the residents can walk right into the mall. It's an odd thing in the suburbs, s

I had a 486DX laptop that I ran Linux on from about 1995-1999, I probably tossed it around 2001 when the battery was pretty dead and the HDD was dying. In some ways that was some of the best times for Linux on the desktop in my experience.

Way too many similarities to Office Space here.. someone moving down to the basement, referring to themselves in the 3rd person, and then the company name of Initrode mentioned.

Loved this article. SFII was so huge when I was about 13-20... that game had such a long tail. I remember seeing it for the first time and being blown away, it was rather amazing when all you'd seen up to that point was NES and PC

I started working prior to Agile becoming a thing but wasn't around for the entirety of the 1990s. I have seen both waterfall and agile products fail or succeed. I don't think the process is ever to blame when they failed or de

Interesting thing with the integrated approach is my high school had that approach. That was private school, and I entered high school in 1990. I wonder how long European countries have been using this approach. The curriculum at my high

This guy seems like he's probably a very qualified engineer, yes he should be wearing some safety equipment but he also seems like he knows how close he is to the limits of the device far far more accurately than the shade tree maker.

Most Air Forces are nowhere near as professional as USAF so they might be much less likely to be enforcing pilot pre-flight checks. There are no shortage of horror stories about what is found when USAF pilots get deployed to train pilots in

None of it makes any sense at all.. there's no way one of those covers can stay on during engine startup without a million warning lights going crazy in the cockpit, there's no way the cover could possibly not get ingested during

Do those #s include children? The numbers here are very high (in one of the most vaccinated US states) but only if you look at the 18+ number or something similar. We still have plenty of unvaccinated kids spreading it around and they end u
