Yah my mum was helping out with the family business around age 5. It's kind of crazy to think how quickly its swung from having that kind of responsibility thrust on you from so young to now where people in their mid 20s may still be i

I agree with what you say but we know enough about youtubers and mobile gaming to safely assume that the numbers in this space are wild. I remember on Pewdiepie's first ever charity YouTube stream he was printing thousands per second v

For me there is an ebb and flow between Maths (theory) and practice. Humans have long been able to achieve things with loose and intuitive understanding of what they're doing - this usually outpaces theory for a long time while theory

For anyone that was interested my Nxtpaper 11 finally arrived. I am annoyed because I realised the Nxtpaper 11 is available on amazon.de the product listing was just buried because it hadn't bubbled up the search and its name isn'

I've always thought u for mu was a neat hack - its inconvenient to type mu and u is ascii compliant. It usually doesn't take toooo long to figure out what u means from the context

Yes, during a rewrite of a product I had a (new) team member scream YAGNI at me with supercilious delight when I pointed out all functions needed to account for the full primary key of (id, territory) rather than just (id) because we will d

For the Vehicle example the conclusion wasn't that the Vehicle abstraction was premature, it was to prefer Composition and Interfaces over Inheritance which is a well discussed idea around OO design. The Vehicle example is relatable to

Was more thinking about whether there are any interesting gravitational effects on the internal chemistry of a giant crystal. Say it is one single crystal, how would its centre differ from the surface?

Because synthetic diamonds are indistinguishable to the naked eye (IIRC a trained eye with a magnifying glass can spot faint nitrogen impurities which are characteristic of natural diamonds) the thing you're really paying for is the

A diamond the size of a moon? Does that mean it's a single molecule of pure carbon the size of the moon? I wonder what effects gravity has at that scale

Yeah agreed. They're quite a solid and easy choice when you need to cater to the lowest common denominator (not meant at all in a derogatory sense!) If you're planning a holiday for ages spanning 2-75 for 3-5 families. What other

I don't much like cruises but I do really enjoy being out at sea and would be more than happy to "raw dog" (in gen z parlance) some trips out at sea.

Thanks for sharing this - excellent content. I've been out of the game for a long time now but isn't this just the case that Gold is too soft as an ion to mix well with stuff like oxides? Cs(I) should be larger than Au(I) but it s

Well I'd argue getting threatened with a knife is relatively normal in London but that's off topic :) Aqua regia is not particularly exotic as compared with all the fancy ways you can harm yourself or react things in Chemistry. Yo

We have a name for that kind of alchemy - nuclear fission/fusion. Because gold is so inert (a noble metal) its counterintuitive to see it in other forms eg in solution. In that sense manipulating gold in other forms than its elemental

I actually think parkour community and practice teach and handle this very well. Same for free solo climbing. Imagine you're in your bathroom, choose two tiles and step from A to B. No problem. What if those tiles were all you had to s

Everything is completely made up. Atoms don't exist they're just a phenomenon we have observed and conceptualised - today's explanations are our best attempts at conceptualising them. We were perfectly able to use fire (and t

The practices propagated or persisted for some reason. For sure organisations find themselves in ruts or local maxima. And things like virtue signalling exist but when practices like prayer, meditation, chanting and singing exist across rel

I'm not here to deny those things - I'm not really qualified to argue in either direction. I wanted to focus on some of the good religion brings, even if you're not religious. In any case power capture is just another one of

I am someone who enjoys challenging the status quo and am generally living unconventionally but I think we've swung too far in the opposite direction of being skeptical of practices of our forebears. For example it is suddenly all the

It's very trendy these days to only point to the negatives of religion but if you view religion as a social technology, you can work backwards from the assumption that every one of those practices initially solved some problem. For exa

I have been using my current Beyerdynamics for about 8-9 years now, still going strong. I changed out the velour pads and they feel like new. I've lugged them around across the world and commuted with them day in day out. They have no

I believe the HannsNote can serve as a monitor as its running android or am I mistaken? What's the benefit of tmux over it behaving as a regular monitor?

The HannsNote2 is such an interesting piece of tech I am extremely interested it's one of those situations where its just one or two features away from being a killer product IMO. Having a back/frontlight, bigger battery and faste

Some people on Reddit speculate the Daylight Computer is also a Sharp screen. Unsure whether memory LCD and IGZO are related as I'm very new to this space (and trying not to fall too deep into the rabbit hole) The play date screen is b

I just ordered the nxtpaper 11 arrives next week so will post back later. I was torn between the HannsNote2 and Nxtpaper 11 but the battery life for the HannsNote2 is apparently less than 3 hours which I think is not going to cut it for a d

Thanks for sharing! Back then the appeal of console games to me were that beyond a convenient factor, they were also very specialised hardware for one task - running games. I remember playing FF12 (IZJS) on a laptop in 2012 and it ran very
