I like the concept, but the rotating turntable for the food and plate is silly. I have a Panasonic NE-1022F (sadly, no longer available) and it rotates the antenna under the floor of the unit. That approach enables use of a smaller motor, r

I like my speedy Amazon deliveries and don't like the grueling conditions, often reported on by the Guardian, that Amazon warehouse workers have to deal with to support that pace. I look forward to the day when automation puts an end t

Yikes! TIL that with Apple Silicon it is impossible to stop the computer from auto-booting on lid open or key press. There was an nvram hack that worked for Intel machines but it has no effect now. What a "feature." I've adde

For me as an engineer who influences technology acquisition, open source wins by being grokkable. - If my colleagues and I can see the source, we can decide whether or not we think it will fulfill the claims it makes. - Once we're usin

One reason for doing this is to add variety to the sentence structure rather than just repeating the same from- to construction for both items. Whether that’s a good choice in this case is a different matter.

The Bayesian Base Rate fallacy is the key here. "Suppose that at your regular physical exam you test positive for Disease X. Although Disease X has only mild symptoms, you are concerned and ask your doctor about the accuracy of the tes

I can see that self-driving in rural areas might be less of a challenge, but what happens when such a vehicle hits a town? Does it drive anyway or does it stop in a pre-assigned parking area? That's a logistical and financial burden fo

Very well written. However, I have never thought of the word 'endpoint' as used in API documentation in the way they describe it. I have no idea what the true origin is but I've always thought of it as the end of the journey
