I just tried it with 7-zip 19.0, and double-clicking a video file in a 7z archive, and VLC could not open the extracted file because it didn't exist. E: Tried again with procmon monitoring 7-zip, and after it completed writing the file

I think those first appeared in some form in XP. I don't recall 2000 having support for it integrated into explorer.

WinRAR also seems to handle opening a file in an external app without manually extracting much better. I can just double-click a file in an archive and open it in an external app, while with 7-zip it seems to immediately delete the temporar

The pay may be above average for that location, but it might still be too low. Back when I had just finished college, my cohort was also judging locations where they would apply to work based on things like the social scene or the climate,

Can't speak to the parent posters' experience, but for me, it covers a lot of imaging, routine bloodwork, cheap Rx for a lot of basic medicines (think blood pressure medications, diabetes meds.) I can get a full basic blood panel

You're not going to be seeing every patient every month. Many you might only be seeing a few times a year; They will have a quick phone chat every few months to make sure their prescriptions are up to date, maybe order a blood panel or

And yet, it works a lot more often than you'd think. Just having someone who you perceive to be in some kind of position of authority tell you that it's okay to relax and calm down can have a significant effect on one's stres

It works the same way that health insurance works -- most people don't need all that much care, and when time-consuming care is needed, it is often pushed to the specialists rather than the generalist. Your $50/mo payment might no

It's a little of column A, little of column B, but in a mixed way. A lot of doctor visits for basic health issues are ones that can be dealt with over a phone or video call. Routine stuff like updating your medicines, changing dosages,

Opposite those ODs you have thousands of people spending an arm and a leg on medicine that truly improves their lives, with no ill effect to them. The way I see it, services like Hims are forcing a discussion that needs to have happened a l

Speaking of Airplanes, I also frequently have issues with apps and websites when using in-flight wifi due to the high latency and packet loss. Incidentally, Spotify is one of said apps, which often means I need to manually set it to offline

It is absolutely also about genders too. I get a tingle in my balls? Here's an expedited ultrasound that we can do tomorrow. We can get you in for a blood test for cancer markers in two days. My whole pelvis hurts when I have my period

When I was involved in the hiring pipeline, I absolutely felt a level of personal responsibility since I was directly contributing to the decision to hire or not hire an applicant. That's not to say I was willing to shoulder the entire

I can't fully agree because the way I see it, that is in a way scapegoating the company executives. Are they responsible? Probably, yes, they set the direction of the company and give the orders at the highest level. But we the enginee

And yet, we still have the ability to pierce the liability veil. Heck, it's even in the name, "limited liability". Not "no liability".

The speed thing was just an example that easily came to mind. I can imagine there are other kinds of analog vs digital interactions that might be occurring that may not be easily replicated under emulation. Especially with a system that gre

Are they being taxed more? Or is it that with gas cars, most of the tax is paid outside of registration, when they're refueled, whereas EVs only pay the taxes at registration time, and thus end up paying their share up front instead of

Seems to me that some of the places that are best poised to take advantage of the longer charging times (at least in the US) are places like Buc-ees which are already a sort of destination that is visited for more than just filling up with

Not necessarily. For example, if there is custom hardware used for communications with other systems, such as radar for example, there might be specific timing and latency requirements that could be difficult to meet under emulation. The mo

We're talking about the kind of drones you can 3d print most parts of, not the long-range ones that can carry dozens of pounds. Some 3d printed parts, a handful of small servos, an arduino or raspi and a camera module. Not all that exp

As if they're not going to take being recorded as provocation on its own. Or they're going to take an off the shelf drone, strap a spent shotgun casing to it with some duct tape, shoot it a few times, and then proclaim "See?
