I was advised to not put the CPAP machine itself on your nightstand by your head. The hose should be long enough that you can put the machine at the foot of your bed (by your feet) so you don't hear it as much.

Bombardier isn't even in the business any more after a trade complaint from Boeing. They ended up selling the CS300 and the business to Airbus (which became the A220).

AS1218 is probably not the cause of extra attention to airplanes _in Japan_. They had arguably much worse events on Jan 2 (landing JAL516 A350 crashed into a earthquake relief Coast Guard DC-8 on landing; killed 5, and both aircraft caught

I think the algorithmic flight pricing has picked up on this. I was seeing flights on 737 Max 8 were easily 10-20% cheaper compared to other models on a given route and date. The 737 Max 8 ended up being my most flown model in 2023.

Folks looking at this may also be interested in similar visa programs offered in east/southeast asia for context: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan. Singapore's requirements strike me as especially conservative in c

This makes me sad -- I liked the Bird scooters much more than the Lime or Spin ones, and parking a bunch of scooters in a parking spot takes up much less space than Citi bike docking stations or Google bikes or cars. But instead running a s

Worth noting this piece was written in 2002. Ten years later in 2012, Canada finally took the penny ($0.01 coin) out of circulation. Cash transactions were to be rounded to the nearest nickel, whereas cashless transactions were still comput

You might be seeing the updated color scheme ( https://blog.google/products/maps/google-maps-october-2023-u... ). My understanding is that the new scheme is intended to better match the real world: roads are grey (!

One quick comment: is there an open-ended sandbox where I can just write whatever code where I want? Even after creating an account I couldn't find such a button, or even the "pay $5/mo upsell" button. I feel like such a

That's at the country level, but _Tokyo_ was also seeing a rural-to-urban migration that ran from the 1950s to a peak in 2019 or so, and maintained relatively low rents between housing and transportation policies compared to major US c

My understanding is there is some support for GPU-accelerated AV1 encoding in top-of-the-line latest-gen discrete GPUs that can be used for live streaming with OBS Studio 29.1 or higher. Helpful if you are in a situation where you have extr

A 500km range sounds like the range of a fully charged electric battery, but not the range from a single day of charging off the solar cell. As a concrete example: folks have tested the 2024 Toyota Prius Prime and find that a full day of ch

One thing that's I feel like is missing from this site: the blue screen of death. I've heard second-hand that these were mostly caused by third-party drivers for devices, and truly fixing it required rewriting the drivers in-house

I'm under the impression that a 501c3 _can't_ spend its money on developers working on FOSS while being 100% tax deductible because of the US tax code; makes one wonder whether it would be worthwhile to lobby/organize to get

If memory serves, only a few decades ago, it was believed that autism incidence was 10 boys for every 1 girl. Since then I think they discovered they were under-diagnosing it in females due to gender norms, but my impression is that it stil

If you have a backyard (or a balcony) I'd start with a single solar panel and "portable solar generator" off of Amazon. For about $500 (admittedly terrible $/kWh) I felt like I got a much better intuition about things li

If you're that happy with `screen` I would suggest that you just continue using it. I also was a `screen` user initially. Later, I switched to `byobu`, which started out as a wrapper around `screen` by Dustin Kirkland (of Ubuntu). At s
