Depends what age you are when you move - under 20 you will change accent completely, over 25 you will hardly change at all, but will use different words/slang.

Moderation in all things including moderation itself. I.e. go crazy occasionally. Have goals and do stuff that moves you in that direction rather than life being a random walk. Fully fund any 401K plan you have access to. Travel cheap while

My best and it turned out my worst hiring experience as the hiree was when I was reentering the workforce as a dot-com-bust refugee after a few years of self-(un)employment. I was switching to the new language javascript from Java and didn&

At 67 I wish I had been more goal oriented toward a few specific achievements that I missed due to generally drifting along. Figure out what is important and/or what you love and make sure it's in your plan. Taking baby steps all

So how do these Nobel prize winners explain dark matter? Do "known physics laws" not evolve as new discoveries are made? Wikipedia is policed by skeptics that only support the status quo. IMO that article is not a fair description

Dark matter is possibly the best evidence in support of Dr. Mills' Hydrino theory https://brilliantlightpower.com/theory/ which deserves a fair reading. There are about 20 experimental results supporting this theo

Funny I had a similar feeling about IBM in 1974. Think of it as the first move in a game of chess - there are no wrong moves (yet).

NFTs are the equivalent of Beanie Babies but with several more zeros in the prices and will probably end the same way when everybody has hundreds of them. Icos came and went and pump and dump and rugpulls abound but like the dotcom and subp

Not sure how much cooling is needed in the Netherlands. I know UK houses generally do not have AC.

I'm having trouble following the code - does this just brute force the solution by trying all possibilities?

I want to build a prototype experimental Skytherm roof on a garden shed or tiny house as a proof of concept to reduce home energy consumption for heating and cooling. See http://www.solarmirror.com/fom/fom-serve/ca

Doing film photography is a bit like going on vacation in a horse-drawn wagon. Even the look of film such as the grain of Tri-X or the artistic distortions of cheap cameras can be imitated digitally far more easily. You can simulate what it

But a site owner running Adsense won't get sued like the site owner running Google fonts did?

by dave333 5y ago
So would other Google resources like running Adsense ads also reveal IP addr or other private info? I think Google allows users to opt out of being tracked?

Developers can adjust their work style to accommodate a slow build process to some extent just by batching multiple changes into each build. I'm retired now but I never found a better way to work than keeping a notebook full of one-lin

Another golf variant is local park golf played with a normal club - 5 or 6 iron is good - and soft sponge practice golf balls that fly 40-50 yards. Use lightpoles and trees as targets and layout a course so that most holes are more than on

Soon someone will train an AI that takes google search results and filters out the sites that repost content with ads. And the sites that are paywalled.

They should also look at the Skytherm Roof which can both heat and cool a building passively. See https://www.architectmagazine.com/technology/harold-hay-skyt...

Interesting that the Unix command line is still just as functional and useful as it was 40 years ago and yet the UI frameworks have been thrown away and replaced every 2 or 3 years. My personal experience with UI has been Openwindows, X&#x2
