You illustrate the point perfectly. "Not living on the streets" is not exactly a measure of prosperity. With $55K, you cannot afford a decent place to live, a health event can and will bankrupt you, and retirement is out of the q

Can we please not promote captain Steve? He is regarded as a pompous ambulance chaser in aviation video circles. Blancolerio is a much better resource. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnSGMPaJ2OM

For STT I use the WisprFlow app/keyboard. It is much more accurate than the built in functionality in iOS, in my experience.

It does EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE for me. It autocorrects to "and" to "and's" very single time, for example.

The author stated that their human assistant is located in another country which adds a huge layer of complexity to the accountability equation. In fact, if I wanted to implement a large-scale identity theft operation targeting rich people,

Used lenses from 30 years ago plus a DSLR from 15 years ago plus a suitable adapter will do the job, and may be in the price range with a bit of bargain hunting.

That is a very disingenuous take on the comment. We should of course target a higher level of proficiency than that, but the point is that many humans make stupid driving decisions every day. We can hold machines to a higher standard, bu

Not a dumb question at all. I grew up using actual green screen terminals, and the advent of high-resolution colour monitors and applications with dark text on a white background felt like a blessing. I truly do not understand the regress

I briefly test-drove Windows 2, but have been a solid Windows user since 3.1 too. I have been forced to use Windows 11 on a succession of work PCs, but I stayed 10 at home due to the lack of a movable task bar and the terrible right-click m

Not always- see Costco. But in a world where every company is trying to minimize expenses to maximize profits, paying significantly above market is at the very least an indicator that there may be something fishy going on.

I have a different perspective. The worst types of cancer kill slowly and cause agonizing suffering. Alzheimer's leads to negative outcomes for your caregivers, but by many accounts many affected individuals do not suffer all that muc

Right? And not even a way to get a transcript, that I can see. Who has an hour to listen to some dudes talk about a question that could and has been answered in a few seconds?

The one and only time I ever got a machine infected with malware in my 30+ years of using the internet was when I fell for Forbes.com's request to please disable my adblocker. I promptly got hit by a trojan carried in one of their unv

I am not sure why the author specifically mentions a $7 cable when the Raspberry Pi and accessories are going to set you back close to $100. That is by far the most expensive component. The money is possibly better spent buying a programm

After a recent update, my keyboard started typing "and" as "and's". This happens 100% consistently, but only when swiping. I don't understand how such a bug happens. Yes, 's' is next to 'd&#x2

Working with 3rd party keyboards is still the same nightmare it was when the feature was introduced many years ago. For one, iOS will randomly switch you to a different keyboard. Or the keyboard will just crash.

I do not see any 'radical difference' in the numbers. Individuals who choose not to get vaccinated are likely to be less informed and more reckless in other aspects of managing their health and their lives in general, so the rela

That's so weird. What do they teach in American schools? Apparently not even basic geography? The fact that Indonesia was Muslim is something I learned very early on - certainly before high school.

I know the 'fast way'. Took me a second or two to get the answer, but it is so obvious that I cannot imagine anyone trying to solve this by calculating a and b first.

The problem does not state that the numbers have to be integers. a and b happen to be 9 +- 2 sqrt(11)

Quicker than an algebraic calculator, maybe, but very few people could get. faster with a slide rule than an ergonomic RPN calculator. like the HP 41 series. And I say that as an enthusiastic and experienced slide rule user, before I switc

Well said. I wrote an XSLT based application back in the early 2000s, and I always imagined the creators of XSLT as a bunch of slavering demented sadists. I hate XSLT with a passion and would take brainfuck over it any day. Hearing the wo

Ah, that brings back memories. I was using Intel iRMX on a commercial system in the mid 80s, and wanted to write a multitasking program on my IBM XT. So I wrote a pre-emptive multitasking iRMX clone in C and a bit of assembler. Ended up u

We had shared S100 8080 systems in our EE lab at university. 7 terminals per CPU. Worked just fine for editing programs. But when everyone started a (Pascal) compile run at the same time, things got plenty slow.

That makes no sense whatsoever. We are not consuming rare earths; only moving them from one place to another. Arguably, future generations would find it easier to mine them from former landfill sites, where they would be present in concent
