It's kind of easy to forget OSX did this but it was glacially slow at first. I remember seeing the Betas in 1999-2000 or so and they were on an iMac and the whole UI barely worked. And I think in 2004-2006 I was still turning the anima

At least Miranda wrote "Shiny" which is the best of the recent Disney Villain songs.. Some of the reviewers made the great point that Moana 2 falls flat compared to the first one partly because Lin-Manuel Miranda wasn't on th

It's not really that different from a musical instrument. The camera might be finicky but you need to get to the point you're not focusing on the camera and it just becomes a tool that is there. The way digital photography has

Lots of bad photographers can’t seem to figure out photography is art. All the rules get in the way of them understanding that. I do wonder if photography attracts people who were never interested in other art forms. Certainly the bes

I like the analogy that biologists are making code changes (especially with genetic therapies) without actually understanding the machine code specification or even having a copy of the source code. It's like a hacker flipping bits in

I think doctors can figure out real quick which version of heart enlargement you have. The athletes heart is going to beat at 1/2-1/3 the rate at rest compared to the obesity-enlarged heart and a stress test is going to show the a

Some years ago there was a crazy science exhibit going around museums in the US that had human cadavers preserved with some plasticizing process where you could see different tissues. They also had cross sections. They actually had an exh

I think most of the Anti-Rogan sentiment is mostly people attributing things to him that he does not actually do or say. People from the far left are so opposed to listening to him their opinion of him is almost completely formed by hearsay

I think the bigger one is how does a signing person communicate in a situation where their hands are otherwise occupied and they can't stop using their hands for the other task? If you need to communicate while operating a vehicle sign

Excellent book. I read this book after my WWII Veteran relatives passed away, had fought in Europe and survived the Battle of the Bulge. His wife invited everyone over and wanted everyone to look through his books and take some that loo

The Fishman pickups are stacked PCBs where each PCB has it's own coil/loop. They are then connected in a way where the polarity reverses from coil to coil so they get hum cancelling even if there is only one "virtual coil&qu

If you're in an area with excellent health care any GI doctor should be able to explain that the blood test can be conclusive for a positive but not for a negative. If there is any question they should be doing an endoscopy and taking

I'm wondering if the country he was living in doesn't do an endoscopy + biopsy when checking for celiac? He should have come back negative on that. My wife and son have Celiac, and I've been tested that way after an incident

Interesting. I would conjecture that we have the same cultural issues at this point preventing us from building effective passenger rail systems.

I think people simplify this too much. Fast metabolizer doesn't mean it just doesn't effect you. I am an ultra-fast metabolizer on CYP1A2 based on genetic tests and yet I can still easily get negative side effects from caffeine.

They have other ways to detect explosives. I've had my stuff tested for explosives, and it did not involve turning anything on.

Waterfall forces management to get it's act together. These processes are all about giving management more power and less accountability. Product Management has fallen a tremendous distance from where it used to be. PMs who have come

Yah.. it was well known but when it happens to you it's hard to really not try to be open minded. That is why his rant is so famous. I was rolled up into Oracle through a series of acquisitions a few years before Sun.. it all went dow

I've had a flair for about 3 years now and love it. Simple, not that expensive, extremely easy to clean and yet has less annoying maintenance than a fancy machine. Extremely unlikely to break. Very good control of the process and ver

Well the bigger problem with Nespresso is the coffee/espresso tastes horrible and you have to deal with the waste.

Even if Delta doesn't win this is going to lead to more and more customers wanting to negotiate terms when they buy software like this to either get money back if the vendor causes them problems or hold the vendor liable. Seems ridicul

I had read in one of the other articles about this issue that you are correct, that is exactly why the pool is shallower than usual. The building was going to need structural modifications to make the pool standard depth.

This is coming whether we like it or not. At least in the US the average driver seems to have this incorrect idea that driving is a right and speeding is a right. Making the cars safer hasn't been working as drivers are managing to k

Everything about the equipment has been a charade for many decades. All the real improvements in bikes have been banned for a very long time and pro racing is used these days to sell all kinds of things which have been sideways moves at bes

UCI has barely ever had the willpower to do this. Tons of teams are still run by folks who were heavily involved in the 1990s and 2000s doping scandals. They all claim they're all clean and reformed but most of them were never really

The race organizers actually don't care about the bikes or sponsors the same way. The race organizers (at the world tour level) have a solid income stream. The biggest races are bigger than the World Tour and are older, and will sti

That was the early EPO era.. there were some riders that died in their sleep their blood was so thick from massive amounts of EPO. Their red blood cell counts were excessively high.

Wow this one hit me with major nostalgia. I remember hacking away at the X Config files for a long time installing slackware on my 486 laptop and some external displays in 1995-1996 and being super worried about breaking stuff. That was kin

That's really interesting, because it shows even the most liberal and most conservative justices still are in agreement the majority of the time. Just reading news articles I would never have thought Sotomayor and Alito ruled the same

Definitely a positive income. These people bear some of the responsibility for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. There is no way they should ever be immune from further punishments and get to live out the rest of their lives a
