I was obviously very young so I might have misunderstood my parents, but from what I remember, asbestos was mixed in with the gravel that was used to pave paths and/or playgrounds. I remember the "red way" and another playgro

> I was a kid in the 90ies in Germany We also had those nice, red Asbestos playgrounds everywhere. I still remember one playground that was next to a path that was called "der rote Weg" ("the red way") until suddenly

I was at that point several times (using Neo2). The problem is that there is too much to remap, basically you need every letter on the keyboard. And if you keep positions, mnemonics do not make sense anymore. "Change Inner Word" w

Some time ago I got the advice to buy twice ... first, get the cheapest option that is available (within reason). This allows you to get familiar with whatever you are getting into (be it new tools, new hobby equipment, cars ... basically e

Spring is an amazing engine! It's been a while, but we used to have regular sessions of Balanced Annihilation (BA) decades after TA came out. I don't know if more recent RTS games improved in that, but Springs UI was way ahead of

No ... sadly the bot is not supported. I recently saw an announcement of a "brain replacement" project for (a specific) robotic mowers ... such an "after market" project for robotic vacuums would be great. But replacing

Nice! Although I somehow expected there to be more stairs :-)

[Haskell fan boy here] I feel like there is at least one Haskell library out there that automates this "no virtual DOM" problem. In Haskell it is not uncommon to create data structures on the fly, only to deconstruct them immediat

We recently were gifted a DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI ... and while the hardware side works pretty flawless, the software side is just a major shitstorm. Like every time I open the control app the map looks different. So far I had the following pro

Completely anecdotal case in point: I live on what used to be a farm. Last year was the first where the well below the house did not carry any water despite moderate rain throughout the year. Instead, heavy rainfall in the last days carried

I recently achieved two milestones that I am somewhat proud of: (a) finishing a role-playing campaign, to be fair that was in LancerRPG that by default has a 12 level skill ceiling after which it does not make sense to play anymore. (b) fin

Scipy has a good implementation of that. I had some fun with it over the last couple of weeks. Just be aware that it runs a "polishing" optimization at the end which might improve the results, or just take forever :-)

One thing people forget, or just plain do not know, is that Bitcoin has "smart contracts" (at least it had them when one BTC was around 0.2€ ... haven't checked in much after that). One example of those smart contracts was

Indian cuisine also has a pretty wide selection of different "breads" (dough patties? DeepL does not even know a word for "Teigfladen" (de)). Naan and Roti are probably the most known, but there are several others includ

Anecdote: There was an old lady living nearby who despite being 80+ years still driving around in her 20 year old car. She literally ran over traffic cones and ... a child on a tricycle [1] and never got prosecuted. She recently passed away

I guess we are over "peak printing" already. Every open hardware printer design would be one or two decades too late.

Yep ... and they (should) contain signed timestamps from three weeks ago ... so you ignore them. The thing with GPS is that it is also a time source, so you'd need a secondary source for your time to confirm that you are not off by thr

I mean ... That's what's cryptography is for. Making sure that what you receive is from the sender you expect it from. Ie sign the current data package plus the current time. Receivers ignore everything with an incorrect timestamp

Right now Diesel (2.09€/l) here is more expensive than Super E10 (2.04€/l) ... that's like the first time during my 35 years on this earth that that has happened.

I guess if they can confirm that it is a specific star they know where on a I finite line they are. If that line happens to be through earth and the space craft they know where to point their antenna.

Yes and no ... I love Haskell's Parsec derived family of libraries (especially Attoparsec for fast and Megaparsec for detailed parsing). But sometimes you just need to throw something together fast. Eg search and replace in Vim uses re

One thing I came across is that 99% precision/recall/F1 score might not be enough. Especially in large sample sets "only" accurately identifying 99% leaves you with too many wrong classifications. Eg 1.000.000 samples -&
