Paper texture is not the same as e-ink. The latter retains state when power is removed.

As someone who very nearly lost a family member due to the state's complete inability to implement and enforce preparedness regulations, and due to ERCOT's herculean effort to do just barely not enough to keep the grid online... r

I have never felt more at peace than when I took a weekend course for hand tool woodworking and spent the better part of an afternoon using hand planes to square and flatten stock in prep for the next day. The sounds and smells melted away

I would love to hear how people are building HTPC/media streaming setups using this kind of stack in 2024. I am very interested in replacing all my aging fire sticks with something custom built. Was considering just doing some RPi base

People keep paying for it. That's pretty much it. There's no legitimate reason for a game at the resolutions common to modern consoles to be that big. Then again, I guess you have to store all those textures for the $9.99 exclusiv

OpenVZ "VPS" offerings are, in fact, just containers with a shared kernel.

I see comments like this and seriously start to wonder if I'm an almost 40 year old man with undiagnosed ADHD. If only my insurance covered mental health...

You're not making any sense here. Nothing is forcing you to go buy double everything each time you shop. If cash is tight but you want to implement this scheme, buy an extra unit of one household item (e.g. laundry detergent) your firs

Companies pay in stock because it's not an immediate cash cost like salary, and because the value is tied to the success of the company which encourages employees to drive progress/profit for the business.

This is a fair point, once there is no longer a need for these satellites they will fall out of orbit, self-immolate in the atmosphere, and we can simply not replace them. It's a worthwhile tradeoff, in my opinion, to inconvenience a b

For some reason I really expected this to be an interview with Danny Carey. Parallel evolution is amazing. Developing complex communication between human and octopus would be an amazing feat and would likely answer some of our questions abo

Yes, but the trade-off is they spend most of their adult life being called "SOYBOY" by "real men" with inferiority complexes. No sane person would want that.

By the time we experimentally confirm that the entire universe isn't expanding, we may have transitioned into the phase of universal contraction. Or something.

Your comment makes me extremely happy that I haven't needed to deal with anything written in Node. This would drive me absolutely bonkers. Hell, I thought Flask's root directory was getting a bit fluttery with .gitignore, .venv, .

This is a pretty good approach. I hope you're periodically testing/replacing that flash drive though. I lost a few thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin because I assumed a flash drive would be fine after years of laying untouched in

I've found great success with KeePass and Dropbox. I use the Kee plugin in Firefox that allows autofill in the browser, and KeePass2Android on my phone which supports pluggable autofill for browsers and apps on Android. It's not a

I've taken to just using the default ringtones available with whatever phone I buy. I set a few important contacts to have distinctive ring/message tones, and then forget about it. Five minutes of set-up, years of never caring abo

I'm 99% sure that word was chosen because it's the onomatopoeia for a mastodon blowing its trunk and it's very similar to the word "tweeting".

This guy has pretty much single-handedly renewed my interest in low-level architecture and circuit design, and I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. Ben is doing current and future generations a great service with these vide
