It helps me realize I haven't stood up in the last 4 hours and I should probably walk around more this afternoon.

Sure, it's not perfect. But you also knew it was a fake before seeing it, right? Maybe I should be, but I'm generally not looking for inconsistencies like that in everything I watch.

I also have dinner around 5pm these days. The way I've understood the effect: your body cannot go into a state of rest until it's finished "processing" all of the food you ate, and that process can take a while. So even

By far the most annoying thing to me (as a user who does not rely on accessibility features) is how few JS-built forms support TABing through the fields, in the correct order. It's infuriating.

TIL it's illegal for UPS and FedEx to charge less. That was certainly a part of this equation I was missing, thank you!

While USPS technically has a monopoly on your mailbox, you can send someone a letter via UPS or FedEx--for significantly more money.

They have a monopoly on STR listings? I use VRBO at least as often (probably more) than AirBnb.

Yea, that's definitely what I should have done. But it did not cross my mind when I originally set everything up. Next time!

I just did this, and it's... fun. Particularly account transfers--most devices that are tied to internet accounts (like Nest) don't allow you to transfer them to other accounts. So hard-resetting them is often the only option, whi

Interestingly, in most of my classes, the professor-authored textbooks "lasted" the longest. Revisions were infrequent, and the professors would routinely tell you what changed when they did occur so you could continue using older

For the purposes of this article, the author seems to treat writing Markdown and HTML files as equivalent--both are plaintext. > And similar is the case with simple static HTML websites - a simple static page is better than all publishin

For what it's worth, whilst my car and carseat have the LATCH system, this particular carseat requires use of the seat belt instead of the LATCH lower anchors for kids over 30 pounds.

I think the "maintaining" is the key part here. Now that the hackers have the coins, how do they do anything with them without getting caught? How do you continue that over years and years and years?

They also come from (seemingly) random phone numbers and/or short codes, with absolutely no way to verify them.

Absolutely true. But redundancy is still a good thing.

You'd also get a better exchange rate from the arbolitos vs the ATMs. If I remember correctly, it was referred to as the "black rate". If you paid a vendor in USD directly, you got the "blue rate". Both of which wer

While I am generally supportive of electrification efforts as a major tool in combating climate change, I am wary of having a single energy source to my house. Particularly in light of the grid failures in Texas last winter. We would have b

Am I crazy, in that I actually like Twitter threads for this sort of thing--at least in the hands of a capable author? When threaded correctly (as this one is), its easy to follow. And the requirement to condense and split thoughts into t

At least for me, Netflix consistently has the fewest problems (failing to load, apps crashing, buffering on a 900 mbps connection, etc) of any streaming service I use. So the engineering is working in that regard.

I would absolutely buy this this coffee table book though.

I assume "export" here means transfer it to a wallet that the user controls, rather than Ubisoft. You can change ownership of the token without changing the token itself, so its still non-fungible.

At the risk of adding to his number 12... this is capitalism.

Health emergencies or something like that. Though I think it'd be pretty straightforward to say "hey I was going to the hospital, overturn this ticket please" after the fact.

While it's difficult to do in your own home, you don't have to be Amazon or Apple sized to make your own ARM-based CPUs. A few dozen employees can do it.

Wow,that's insane. Thankfully in my teacher's case, the city basically said "oops our bad" and did actually extend the yellow (albeit several months later). They did not refund any of the past fines though.

My personal favorite was a poorly-timed stop light, with a red-light camera. If you entered the intersection as the light turned yellow, and drove the speed limit, you would still be partially in the intersection when the light turned red.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I ended up getting an Oura ring because of that issue. It's extremely accurate.

So I haven't completely thought this through as my kids are still too young, but I'm leaning towards doing both. Some level of controls feels like a way to encourage exploration and learning and the "hacker" mindset. If
