Media hyperbole and shrieking fear-mongering should carry most of those hundreds of the evacuation's death toll. The panic and stress were fatal. A smaller, slower, calmer reaction was what the region needed. Even to this day, Fukushim

$200 is generally much more than the total cost of these Rockchip boards. (This Khadas product is an usually expensive option.)

Counterexamples can disprove an absolute law, but the topic here is a causal tendency, there are of course some exceptions.

Am I wrong to think that my Python should be interacting with remote systems via APIs, not via CLIs?

Orange or yellow filters. They bring up brightness in skin tones, and add contrast to blue skies and green vegetation. Orange and yellow filters are available at many secondhand stores for a few bucks each, in common lens diameters. You can

It's the work placement promised at the end of the course that sometimes tempts me to do one. The value is in helping get the first foot into the door, which is a totally different skill than programming itself. A course with a good re

The ramp up and down is more important than cumulative heat exposure for solid state components, but not for moving parts in the cooling system, and also electrolytic capacitors age much faster in a hot environment.

The Answer, the thing that Helps, might be just around the next click. I know, rationally, what I have to do, but the part of myself with all the neurotransmitters is convinced there must be an easier way, and it'd be more efficient to

SSDs are very near the price of magnetic discs? Near as dammit for a one-off consumer purchase. They're still behind at higher consumer ranges like over a terabyte, but for most of the market... are you posting from several years ago?

I can't find that previous entry in the edit history, and the talk page history just has one question about Dolan's jq. Where can I see the background you're talking about?

I use nine active email addresses for various contexts. Some have all or part of my real name, some don't. The Gmail app can add accounts from various non-Gmail platforms, and still aggregate them all together. Sometimes I've made

What they're doing is working on Nebula.app Where the creators themselves have strong say in the platform policies and the recommendations system is much simpler and more transparent. Money comes from subscribers, not ads. (sponsor seg

Was thinking the same thing. Any time I've found old exposed film it hasn't come out well, if at all. The article says that only a small minority was kept in a fridge, and doesn't mention a freezer. One hot summer can totally

eh. Seem on a par, to me. per jnsie's comment elsewhere on this page, perhaps it's just England / the mainland that has bad ones, they're good north and south of the border in Ireland.

I don't think Japanese convenience store sandwiches are that much better than those from Spar, Mace, Tesco, Boots etc in the UK and Ireland, so I have to wonder how bad things are back home for the presumably American intended audience

I generally think of obtrusive cookie consent popups as a kind of #maliciouscompliance revenge from villains who are sore about GDPR protections.

I can also pay YouTube $0 a month and never see an ad again. I do pay money for Nebula, because they seem like their hearts are in the right place. I pay about $60, 70 a month to various podcast and video creators directly. I don't use

A notable anecdote is the Northern Bank robbery of 2004, when (presumably IRA) robbers stole 26 million UK pounds from the biggest Belfast branch of the Northern Bank, which, like other private banks in Northern Ireland and Scotland, issued

This "rational" mathematics seems to just be an elaborate set of extra rules to avoid using repeating decimals and transcendental numbers like pi and e. what's the point? is it just an academic exercise to play maths on hard

no-one here said the olden days were better. it is possible for something to be generally in the right direction, but still in great need of improvements. dismissing anything not as positive as you'd like as unconstructive is itself

Too late to the party with just that resource. Engines that most efficiently use oil came about only after the era of history when engines that need coal were dominant. Fun bit of alt-history pondering - China was the most powerful single n

The whole (non-Spotify, ugh) podcast ecosystem would like a word about RSS being obsolete. Patreon (and to a greater extent, the podcasters I support) keep making real money out of me and millions of others every month for personalised RSS

Indeed. English is as dominant in the world as it is today probably because England and the USA have (or had) plenty of shallow coal, iron, and (relevant after the "special relationship") oil deposits, not because of any particula

True. Irish in its heyday had four rather different dialects, but today only the artificial compromise "fifth province" amalgam is taught in schools. Same with Japanese. There are some proudly, stubbornly distinct phrases in Kan
