Unfortunately they will probably point to the poor sales of this model as justification that this pro tower market really is dead. “Sorry guys, for some reason only Marvel editors bought these so were canning the line”

On the bright side, maybe we’ll find more Ötzi’s!

In theory, sure. But it’s a fact that every time I upgrade my battery life is thrashed. I end up paying for new batteries and I barely last through the day.

Here’s the ABC broadcast of opening day. Pretty interesting and definitely different than it is today: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JuzrZET-3Ew

Scrolling through HN while your code compiles != full on political debates at work. I’m on a group chat with a couple old friends and when someone starts a debate on a topic I’m passionate about we go hard and we go deep . Suddenly it’s tw

I think they overestimated just how willing certain people are to not do their jobs and sit around arguing while being paid.

For an article about green glass, I wonder why their photo shoot decided to go with purple and pink back lighting? It makes it look sinister but doesn’t show the beautiful green Trinitite can be.

But it just goes to show that that 2% is all you needed to make heaps of money ;)

The point of the book was not that they had to fail, but they would fail if they designed in isolation and didn’t take into account how cities are used and the processes that allow them to grow and change.

I found Seeing Like A State even better at really elucidating the problems with planned cities. Some portions of it were heavily influenced by Jacob’s work and was completely eye-opening to me in many ways, not least of which is how most

Different fish, and different sizes of the same fish contain different mercury levels (big fish == more mercury). Many wild caught fish are quite safe to eat: https://www.fda.gov/food/metals/mercury-levels-commerci

A couple weeks ago I stood in line right behind a group of “influencers” trying to get their meal for free at a new restaurant. They succeeded after a 20 minute delay for the entire line (that went out the door) while the manager was fetche

This looks interesting. Well done on making something and putting it out there!

I see my own company on here. I work in a back office role and I’ve never used the main customer site, because it’s just not my demographic. After some honest looking I can say our company doesn’t just do one, but all of these. I think it’s

Agreed. It’s fine if you’re sharp and tech-savvy but there’s a reason I am the family travel agent...my dad with his poor eyesight and short temper breezes through tricks like that and ends up paying unnecessarily.

Not necessarily. When our warehouse is low on stock, we are truly low on stock and usually never reorder due to the seasonality of the clothing industry. That said I agree it is a dark pattern in general.

I do the same for a “senior” developer with 20 years more experience than me and a bafflingly appalling understanding of how to write basic code. Bless you sir, you are keeping the code legible and clean for everyone else on your team and d

Doesn’t sound like that’s what happened. Seems like they have standard questions and phone in the interview process by trying to apply it to every “tech” position they hire for.

Human-centric worldview and “only humans have souls” goes back to the dawn of recorded history. We often lived in closer confines with animals, often sleeping together for warmth, protection and to watch for predators. However killing anima

Well that’s kind of the point. The name SSRI is itself a marketing term. For every such drug, the mechanism of action is still unknown.

by doitLP 7y ago
It’s pervasive, especially in the early days of marketing antidepressants to the general public. Example, probably the most the most recognizable anti-depressant ad ever (at least in the US): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tw

You beat me to it! For those who haven’t read The Iliad, and prefer audiobooks, check out the Robert Fagles’ version voiced by Derek Jacobi.

Those studies were pretty terribly done, with no control and other confounding factors. Maybe indicative of more study but nowhere near substantial or reproducible. Edit: Replying with a 45 year-old study with extremely low scientific merit

What reproducibility are you referring to? LSD was marketed as a medicine under the name Delysid for over 10 years mid-century but only afterward did it gain a schedule 1 classification after it was declared to have no medical uses.

Is VS Code not an IDE at this point?

Wow. Not only does it look great on my phone, but it loads quickly and the movements are seamless. Compare that to the 360 view of furniture on any big box website or cars on a dealers website.

Actually php is more likely than either of those.

Whoever the author is, they are probably from a commonwealth country, based on their spelling of “prioritise” and “organisation”.
