I wouldn't use 14 segment fonts for real hardware. I find these fonts extremely ugly. Many characters are total abominations and it all feels like a hack. If you need mostly numbers and only some very basic additional info, I think the

I bought that adapter, because I wanted to keep using my good old, high quality, corded earphones. It technically works, but it's not a nice experience. The adapter looks and feels out of place. It's the only white part in the set

I'm not sure if you're trolling. Of course that's nonsense. The work is entirely the (artificially complex) computations necessary to get to the result. If someone were to invent a 100% efficient computer, based on supercondu

The software is installed locally (runs on macOS and Windows), but your files are stored on Autodesk's servers. You have to sign in to use it. Program startup takes ages. But the features are great. If you don't need fancy feature

People should share the original files or at least step files along with the stl files. But if you must work with stl, Fusion works brilliantly for this. You can open the stl file, which gives you the usual mesh that's hard to work w

The Karma looks interesting – not ugly, not pretty, but kinda unique. I had a Rio 500 [1], which I wouldn't call ugly, but certainly not beautiful and it felt like a cheaply made plastic box, even though it was expensive (64 MB flash!)

Fair points about intense marketing and less successful products being forgotten in history. However, I wasn't able to find anything about the first (6 GB) Nomad Jukebox on Wikipedia. The iPod was released in October 2001, I only see m

You picked a bad example. The iPod was very innovative (first time you could have all your music with you on the go – instead of having to decide on a tiny selection before you leave home and slowly upload it to your player). But yeah,

I don't mean these Flock cameras, I mean what you refer to as "boring rooftop weather webcams". Some of those show people fairly close up and even if you can't recognize your face in the stream, you will recognize the pl

The problem is that rich people and large companies usually go to great lengths to avoid taxes, use loopholes or get special deals (and with great success). The missing tax income has to come from the middle class, who can't avoid it.

From the title, I assumed this is about an app distributed as a binary blob. Regarding learning languages, I'm not a fan of this style of learning. It seems to me this is still Duolingo, just with a different interface. I had good succ

In Prolog you can write rules (similar to functions in other languages) so that they work "both ways". Let's say you have this rule that defines how pace ("runner's speed") relates to distance and time: :-

by fainpul 10mo ago
You could create a table with 3 columns: distance, time, pace. Set the display format for time and pace to "Duration". Enter these formulas: distance = time / pace time = distance * pace pace = time / distance
