This is the normal human cycle. We did the same for things as big as terrorism and as small as every tiny thing that teenagers have ever done, broadcast via the local news. People freak out at things that are different; not normal. It absol

Instagram has a business portal. When your site could easily be mistaken as an official company channel, that should not be allowed.

Imagine if much of that had instead been invested in renewable energy. The same people trumpeting energy independence could have had it and made the U.S. the dominant renewable exporter. Yet we still do everything possible to equate only oi

An interesting side effect if it does lead to long-term change is the airlines. Currently ticket prices are kept low by expensive business class tickets and late purchased business travelers. If either of those sees a >10% drop, some maj

Compared to a salary, it is nothing. If your company functions and people are more productive because of it, ~$80 a year is nothing.

Seems like there should be some basic review processes in place. Any external dependency/purchase should require sign-off of at least one of only a few decision makers. This should be very similar to a code review, but seen by CTO, CIO

I personally am watching others around me do what I consider "overreacting". Once it starts spreading locally though, the response will be reasonable. The biggest gain in working from home is not protecting yourself, but the sprea

Pigeons have a "refresh rate" of around 100 frames per second. It is believed that a bunch of smaller animals and even insects have similar or faster visual processing time, though I'm not aware of specific numbers.

I recommend you look at his Patreon page. His quality, depth of research, and overall uniqueness made supporting a no brainer for me.

My guess is it was played on paper. Pens were the dominant writing utensil. Hard to remove and repeat on the same surface. Even with pencils, erasing leaves a mark and doing so repeatedly will either become too hard to tell or rip through t

I would mostly disagree. You get all the Java solutions plus the Kotlin ones. Few languages have that much support. Within ~2 years, native things will hopefully become sufficient, but the state now isn't gloom and doom.

I started using Kotlin daily about 8 months ago. Recently had to go back to an older Android codebase, and immediately decided I had to start converting. The amount of boilerplate is unbelievable. I'm able to cut the number of lines by

Is that 150 tons for the whole wind turbine, or just the blades? Most parts other than the blades should be reusable or recycleable. Could result in a 1-2 order of magnitude increase in efficiency.

This is better by a significant margin than any fossil fuel use the turbine is offsetting. Yes, some material will be wasted, but it is a tiny fraction of the far worse alternative. I've seen this as a reason not to switch several time

I watched this 'documentavideo' a few months ago. Goes into a bit of detail of the history of Nintendo of Europe and one guy who helped it spread. I'd assume relations between the various branches have pretty strong interplay
