I suggest a new rule of thumb: if the data can fit on a micro SD card [1], then it's smaller than a thumb, so it can't be big data. ;-) [1] https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Memory-Adap...

FWIW, I have long wondered where all the plastic trash in the ocean was coming from. A recent video [1] from Mark Rober was very enlightening: the trash from poor communities (without collection services) gets picked up by rain and wind and

The game begins after you enter the building. I think you're supposed to "activate Ian's memories" using a port in the control room.

I've been watching the Hummer conversion project from JerryRigEverything. It's a great series because he's not an expert on EVs, but he's competent with tools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxkPuEmIX4U&

For most people in the US, taxation is already conducted at the source through estimated withholdings. Filing is how they get tax refunds. It's a clever scheme that seems to make people actually happy about income tax.

The concept of abstraction is simple and clear when you think about programming as primarily the act of teaching other people (future maintainers, other contributors, and my forgetful self) rather than writing instructions for a computer. A

That also means existing software/firmware will continue to use correct TZ offsets until November 2024, so that's the deadline for updates.

Agreed, but it seems to take a lot of maturity to know the difference. Very few kids know the difference and some adults never learn.

I own a copy of Factorio, yet I never play it. Whenever I think about playing Factorio, I think what I really want to do is emulate biology, not industrial machinery. I want a game that lets me alter genomes slightly and try out several bra

Some Adams trivia: - It's owned by Smucker's. I normally dislike anything from Smucker's, but Adams is a nice exception. - If you get the giant jar from Costco, the oil separation is a significant issue. There's a simple

In fact, I would call it a hyper-dimensional helix. :-) With each new iteration (or rewrite), we're often expanding in a conceptual dimension we couldn't realistically reach or even imagine before.

This is how banking looks in the US if you can't maintain a balance of at least around $1500. This video is eye-opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLwRZibUqL0

Great responses. Thank you. Subtext does seem like an interesting attempt to expand the kinds of problems spreadsheets can solve.

I once built a complex spreadsheet for my colleagues. When I had to leave, what I built for them was almost instantly useless because there was too much they needed to understand. That got me thinking about the gulf between spreadsheets and

It's possible that Google could provide support, but they are also trying to create a reputation of providing infrastructure so reliable that the technology is simply finished and doesn't need support. They don't want to give

From my perspective, the era of switching desktops is over--I don't really have to choose anymore. These days I can run all the operating systems I need at once. I can run a Windows virtual machine in Linux and vice versa. If I need to

No disagreement here. It's just good to see someone trying. :-)

IMHO the author is saying that these pictures represent one way that we humans have surrendered a piece of our lives to a soulless process and machine. Any human with any photography skills would take lively pictures of interesting things,

From my perspective, screen technology was still being developed. As shown in that archive.org video, CRTs were still dominant at that time because they were much cheaper than large full color LCDs. Those who could afford a large color LCD

One of my daughters finds almost all foods revolting. She accepts rice, ketchup, ramen, breakfast cereal, and most sweets. Sometimes she'll accept pickled beets. She doesn't tolerate veggies, fruits, most meat, most breads, and mo

From what I can tell, Llama uploaded 1.8 GB. An Internet connection that can upload 10 megabits per second, sustained, should be able to complete that in a half hour. If that's too long, it might make sense to run Llama from a small EC

That second example is particularly ugly. It assumes the input is UTC, then it quietly converts that Date to your local time zone. Proper date input usually requires a widget.

Does anyone know whether they're using that tech, something similar, or something else? I've always been interested in light field technology.

Same here, but sometimes the meta is overwhelming. Most big technical discussion boards have hit the same issue: the signal/noise ratio falls with popularity, leading to excessive negativity and a lot of meta-discussion to clean up the
