Well, work is probably one of the least healthy things adults do. And sitting for 8 hours is hardly the worst version of it.

I'd love to hear the story that prompted this.

The answer is to have less candidates. Tighten up the pre-interview phase. Ideally, this should be set up in a way that if the interview proves that the advertised capabilities are there, the person should be offered a job. You may think th

When they came for Yuzu it was because „the devs clearly had bootleg prerelease games” IIRC. Now it’s because „Switch is still an active product”. I wonder what it will be when they finally come for Dolphin.

The one thing Spotify (and other streaming services) has going for it, is that it's fairly cheap compared to other means of acquiring music. You get what you pay for. It's fine if you want to test drive that Queen album before you

At the same time, it appears that you could load all artificial objects in Earth’s orbit onto a single small container ship.

Do they prevent you from using it easily? Yes, they sell software on a platform, but so does Nintendo. Yet Nintendo hardware is completely locked down and the software they sold you works only on said locked down hardware. Meanwhile, I can

This caught my eye. After checking it seems that the correct height is 100 feet, or ~30 meters.

I've donated to archival efforts before and, as many, would be happy to chip in for this one. It doesn't seem possible though and we don't know why it appears stalled.

What value does a "local sport club" provide exactly, to warrant a revenue?

There are two major problems with this approach. First of all, the intent is implicit, so it won't be clear for a new set of eyes. Second, by peeking behind the curtain you can get some gains, but only as long as everything behind this

The outwardly visible status is that just a small portion of the recordings have been made available[1]. The Archive is not commenting about this for years now. [1] https://archive.org/details/stokestvarchiveexperiment

You probably shouldn’t do those things. The point of a high level language is to not have to think about such details. If you can’t get the performance you need, you should use a different tool, instead of trying to circumvent implicit limi

Well, the more you make of something, the cheaper it gets. Things also get easier when you're less constrained for weight and volume. I imagine that Starship delivering a robot all the way to the Mars surface would make things signific

You'd need to take the cable spool down the hole, so the unspooled part above is already in place.

It’s easier, but is it better? At what, exactly? For the past few decades people enjoyed collecting music, but it turns out that once you remove all friction of acquiring music, it no longer feels like collecting anything. My physical music

It's not unheard of [1]. It happened a number of times in my iPhone ownership that the phone became significantly hotter than usual for no apparent reason. [1] https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/26/iphone-15-ove

Since charging phone can get hot, PLA may not be the best choice, as it can start to misbehave past 50C.

This is subtly wrong. They tried to hire the celebrity, got refused, then hired a different talent to do her “natural voice”. The official story is that it just happens to sound alike.

The text-to-text model is available. And you can use it with the old voice interface that does Whipser+GPT+TTS. But what was advertised is a model capable of direct audio-to-audio. That’s not available.

I hope the technology has improved from that point though, as you couldn’t see anything on that thing.

The computer used to be a bicycle for the mind and now it's a high speed train. The train is better in every technical aspect, but it only goes to a limited number of places.

I've bought a dumb microwave and it stopped working after a bit over two years (conveniently). I replaced it with a fancier model, with an inverter, and it's been working for about four years now. It probably won't work for 2

First of all, the later "short board" models (including C64C, most popular in Europe) run much cooler, which makes them less prone to failure. Second - we got pretty good[1] at fixing the faults. [1] https://www.pictori

Yes. Given enough distance, the obstructing object will start to come into focus, but if it's close, it just darkens the image. After all reflecting telescopes have a secondary mirror (along with its mount) permanently obstructing part

I was once with a group at a small local observatory, trying to take a look at Venus, low over the horizon. As the rotating roof rolled into the correct position, it turned out that a Yagi-style antenna mounted outside sat right in middle o

I'm from central Europe, so maybe the fine details regarding this topic escape my attention, but I would understand heritage as a much more social concept than race. For example, a kid born to Japanese parents and growing up in Poland
