Perhaps this is a foolish question: how did your friend actually use the tracker? Did he input the prices from the newspapers or TV news?

In fairness Charmin is probably backed by millions of dollars of market research on simple user questions like softness, tendency to crumble, size, etc., while free software faces more criticism for issues that are exponentially more diffic

The final law just makes replacing batteries more accessible (i.e. no glue or special screws), but it doesn't mandate battery packs. Also some devices like hearing aids are exempt. I question whether battery packs would be a good thing

Has anyone ever run Fourier analysis on their request rate and found something interesting? Bonus points if it's not a day/night or weekday/weekend thing.

Hardware video decoding support for h264 and av1 just landed in 7.0 so it hasn't been a great bleeding edge experience for desktop and Plex etc users. But IMO late support is still support.

I think this one is easy to explain: it's a clash between chat idioms and forum idioms. Chats since IRC have had Enter=Send because messages were supposed to be single line, while web forums have had multiline text editors from the sta

It's obvious that the game was yanked as a reaction to the current moral panic regarding technology and mental health in minors, not for the violence or gore. This is just how moral panics are. We can say we just wanted social media to

JCDecaux famously charges everyone outside of France exorbitantly while charging nothing to Paris. For example, Paris pays as much (€6M/yr in 2006) for maintenance on its 420 sanisettes as SF does for its 24 ($13M/yr in 2022). You

People signing up for newsletters (which this site has) then immediately submitting a SAR was an unsolved issue until ECJ finally ruled against it last month [0]. I think you're missing a few steps there. It would be nice if we lived i

It also frustrates datamining of secret client-side game mechanics, story spoilers, and unreleased content (good branch management is not priority for some devs). Yeah this wouldn't stand up to the best of the best, but not all game co

It's difficult to tell what the end goal is, but you probably need to see some of these systems and broaden your understanding first. For example, Tokyo Metro has many out-of-gate transfers, where the user taps out of special gates (Ik

I believe solar carports of that size need to be constructed with steel, and South Korea has a significant steel oversupply issue now, so this provides a way to keep the industry going.

I think Mr Bradbury would remind you his book was about how passive entertainment (the "parlor") slowly eroded books for decades before the actual book burnings, not the state just suddenly banning them. In that sense, I suppose y

For some projects, the issue tracker is a pretty integral part of the documentation. Sure, you can host your own issue tracker somewhere, but that's still shifting a center point somewhere, in a theoretically decentralized system. I&#x

Years ago when the ARM China CEO held the company hostage with the company seal, there was much reporting that exoticized seals. But I was just thinking, the modern systems we've built with 2FA aren't much different! (Product idea

Without commenting on any other part of this exciting console war, I don't know if this is true. Steam on my machine still always consumes nonzero CPU when minimized, possibly because it opens to the busy animation/video-filled fr

It doesn't have to be an either/or situation and I certainly want both in my mobile browser! Ad hominem is also not a valid argument against NFC. One of my friends built a whole automatic mahjong table with NFC tags. NFC apps are

Some of Mozilla's positions are based on Apple's, such as the refusal to implement Web NFC [0]. Since Webkit has been the only engine allowed on iOS, ultimately this is a disagreement on app distribution. I can see Apple and Mozil

Not a kid but what are the next steps after this book? I've been trying to find the steps of the ladder between "playing with muxes and clocks" and "designing a USB3 peripheral", but that has been a challenge in its

>I don't know how this happened, how Mint rooted itself so well I'm pretty sure it was due to nonfree codecs and drivers not being in other distros by default. The mainstream distros only have themselves to blame.

Maybe we're not going to the same places but "just having a website for rates and hours" is a SAT problem for salons/tattoo parlors. They need to know what you want and also show flattering photos of what they can do (an

Your ratio idea presumes a lot about the maintainers or the nature of the disagreements. I recently sent a handwritten PR to fix a bug in a well-respected project, which involved switching from API A to B. The maintainer was uncomfortable w

It wasn't a solved issue because 3.5mm is too anemic to power modern ANC. Remember when headphones like QC15 had a single AAA battery to power that? Maybe it's not an important feature to everyone, but ANC is critical to my experi

Then you're talking about changing JSON.parse to start parsing some schema as a type instead of object, which would break compatibility.

AFAIK physical supermarkets and Costco that carry these usually sell them for $4-5 per 17oz/500g. This is just the classic distribution problem with ethnic foods.

Spectacle used to just let you automatically save with no confirmation dialog, then they changed that a year or so ago. Maybe it's still possible to configure it but I was less than happy to have my default changed.

It's not like most developers are wasting memory for fun by using Electron etc. It's just the simplest way to deploy applications that require frequent multiplatform changes. Until you get Apple to approve native app changes faste
