Shouldn't it be the opposite? Most common psychological problems are created by the hostile environment people are living on. More meds would be the equivalent of pumping up the volume on the radio on a car whose engine make more conce

The only reason I would use Adobe over SumatraPDF is the need to open a PDF that use JavaScript, have 3D content inside, or has to be digitally signed. Probably SumatraPDF is a lot faster because can't do all of those fancy things, but

Even if it's not available (I haven't programmed in Go), I think most of programmers who run parallel code in Go know what is a semaphore or a mutex, don't you think?

Here in Spain we observe the same. Having dozens of harvesting olives manually or with the help of small machines were worthwhile while big olive harvesters were rare and salaries where lower, but now we have the opposite situation.

That's pretty infuriating. I have look for your model online, and apparently Toshiba decided it was reasonable to use a LED lamp instead, and they didn't make them good. If you're used to disassembly appliances to repair them

I also do the same, and I'm happy there are people like us who gives objects a second life :-) The only appliances I had to recycle can't be repaired in any way or it cost about the same of a new one, but I rarely have that situat

IIRC Altium Designer can embed a complete PCB with their components rendered in 3D. Pretty useful to being able to see the model without having to open the software or even having it installed at all

This is pretty interesting. I'm just imaging a future with inexpensive Windows ARM machines, passively-cooled, and running in most of the offices of your country. With most of the important Microsoft software already compiled to ARM, a

Reading this is pretty funny to me because my first wireless router was a common one with a PCMCIA slot to connect a WiFi card :-)

The EU executed a similar warrant some time ago, not only in banning new ICE cars sales by 2035, but also banning "highly pollutant" cars in the centre of some cities in a short time period and making a lot of changes in cars to p

That depends the place. I had to use public transport in an European city every morning for some years, and my bus route had a bus every 5 minutes, making a lot of workers using it massively. There are similar lines that move people from an

I'm actually using an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 machine and I don't consider it an old machine. A Pentium 4 would totally be a pretty old machine, for example. Anyway, I find this as a good practice. First, to continue using perfect

This was one of the top reasons IIRC that made Jonathan Ive left the company. Before Tim Cook was the leader of the company, they were not only technically innovative, but innovative in a more global and universal way.

It's a shame how Amazon is bloated of Chinese off-brand products with mediocre quality. Some of them are simply products from AliExpress, DealExtreme, or similar Chinese websites but sold more expensive.

This is not just bad. This is even worse if we consider a lot of people trust more any random charismatic person on Facebook or Twitter than a journalist, but the sad thing here is how I understand them. In Spain we have so many examples ab

Maybe in fat tyres e-bikes with heavy weight, or cargo bikes, having ABS is reasonable or even necessary, but I don't find that on a common MTB e-bike, for example. I hope they are more consumer-friendly than current car and motorcycle

In other webs is common to have a "gay-friendly" tag when advertising rooms, flats, houses, or when you are looking for flatmates. What does yours do differently to the other ones?

With the popularity of similar looking vehicles, like the new Ford Bronco or the Suzuki Jimny, I'd bet they wouldn't struggle selling a Scout inspired one.

This is sadly already happening. In Europe, car garages need to update their diagnosis machines, or even pay[1], to get some keys from Renault to being able to do anything in their newer models. Even their low-cost subbranch Dacia need thos

If companies continues adding more subscription options in more models it will make some aftermarket electronic modules, or simply jailbreak hacks, to bypass those locks. It happened already in the Tesla, and I don't think it will stop
