It's a good idea, but the product selection seems small. I tried [renault zoe] and nothing came up. I also tried [sony alpha] and no camera in the results.

How do I know I'm doing high-enough intensity? The abstract says "Six 40-s intervals at 100% of V_O2 peak" of cycling. I guess that means pedal as hard as I can for 40 seconds, rest for 20, repeat.

What I found remarkable about the house is that they kept the original furnishings and decorations. These types of places are usually modern reconstructions, but apparently this one is not. Lots of interesting things to see there, including

I was driving through heavy rain recently and had a small epiphany: human drivers are willing to take way more risks under adverse weather conditions. There was no way the car could stop quickly from 65mph on a wet road if something appeare

In some countries (Romania) they are -- you have to slow to a crawl since they are usually very bumpy. But I agree Waze is too aggressive, since train crossings are always well signaled.

There should be no inactive days. You typically have the same insurer, use the same card as when employed. For the first month you indeed get the paperwork later, so you pay late, but that's built into the system, it's mentioned i

Your comment reminded me of Lost in Translation (which came out in 2003).

Somewhat tangential: Lambda School sounds so much better to me than Bloomtech. Any idea why they changed it?

Yes. There is no downside. Air purifiers nowadays are cheap to run and very quiet.

I kept trying to get this to work and failing. If others run into problems like me, note that this feature requires macOS Ventura, release last month.

Actually, 500 seems low. If this was a PA at [FAAMG] it would have 1000+ full-time employees (to say nothing about the salary).

> Okay. Does this imply that I should see similar SSD read speeds when reading 10 blocks contiguously vs randomly? Yes, with some caveats: 1. Not sure if you can read block-aligned data from high-level code. 2. There might be some read-a

As a sibling comment pointed out, this is about the page (or block) size. Both disks and SSDs share the property that reads are done in a block, 256KB or more. So even if you're reading a few bytes you are actually reading the entire b

It's interesting how the two continents are keeping each other in check when it comes to major abuses. The EU fining big US tech and the US fining VW are the prominent examples. In each case the home country has big incentives to keep
