The point is that it doesn't matter, it all evens out in the end.

Not at all, some POS systems will account for rounding, but most don't. One only needs to look at your receipt to see if this is the case. Cash registers are nearly always out a dollar or two at the end of the day anyway, that's n

I believe the road decks on the Broadway Subway are permanent.

Sometimes a temporary cover is built first to minimise disruption on the surface. Here's an old example of an umbrella bridge over Oxford Circus during the construction of the Victoria Line. There's a longer video out there of the

It wasn't a book, it was on Johansen's laptop. And the ASCII was for communicating by pointing the camera on the mars rover, because it couldn't be positioned precisely enough for 26 different positions.

That's because Apple Carplay wasn't really designed with a linear input method in mind. It should be list-based, not grid-based. Like old Nokia phones, which often only had up-down buttons paired with two action buttons—no left-ri

You hate modal interfaces then. A non-modal interface would initiate pairing with a fixed button, this button would do the same thing every time, and it wouldn't require other inputs. Perhaps A, B, C buttons for three connections, wher

Not money, per se, but income. Without income, you can't produce anything. Income could be volunteer labour, or donations of physical goods, or proceeds from the sale of goods or services, but without a solid (business) plan that lays

No, even charities and non-profits need to make money—they need to make a profit, or break even exactly— otherwise they will cease to exist. Even if the revenue is all donations, that's the business model. This also applies to other co

Don't car batteries also have very high current requirements? Turning over an engine takes an enormous amount of power.

This is obvious to anyone who's changed the brakes on their car. Front brakes are massive compared to the rear.

It's not supposed to be user-facing though, is it? If you have a code library for translating text and such, calling it I18n makes more sense than Internationalization in that context because Internationalization is just too long.

My Samsung S10e (Android 12) doesn't do it—I made sure before making that comment. I didn't know that some Android phones do have sidetalk. In my experience talking on a landline, sidetalk makes talking much easier for me, more re

I mean, Pluto is definitely still a planet in the cultural imagination. There can be exceptions to rules. Even if there are some exoplanets that resemble Pluto, we can still say that Pluto is a planet and those other nameless things aren&#x

The YIMBY crowd basically boils down to "do whatever you want, I don't care, just don't stop me doing what I want". More basically, "government regulation bad, capitalism good". which happens to be one of the R

You drive down housing costs by building more housing, full stop. Housing is expensive because the supply is extremely limited, and the supply is limited because it's too hard to actually build housing, because governments and NIMBYs s
