Speaking of non-standard controls, it does seem that in the last ten years car designers have just plain forgotten long-standing conventions. It used to be that the fuel gauge would appear on the same side of the instrument cluster as the

That is awesome, congratulations on a remarkable turnaround! Funnily, I'm kind of the opposite story -- mid-40s and fairly athletic. I run around 14 miles every other day at sub 7 pace, play other sports, and am generally in good shap

Kind of unfortunate that a few of the demo pictures have a binomial coefficient and the resulting latex code uses a long/complicated array to express it rather than \binom. I'm not sure I'd want to use this for anything I&#x

Didn't read the article? The authors clearly stated that if there was causation they didn't know the direction and that there may not be a causal link at all.

His book, TO:KY:OO is incredible. If you enjoyed the photos in this article it is worth checking out. It oozes cyberpunk.

It seems there are two slots for SSDs. I'd be curious to know which storage configurations populate both slots versus just one. If Apple offers SSD upgrades like they do for the Mac Pro, it would be nice to order a studio with one sl

I spent half the article trying to figure out if it was some kind of clever pun. But no, they are just using the wrong word.

Some very basic parametric features might open this up to a large woodworking community that wants to sketch out design ideas before building. Sketchup used to be the goto but now people are hungry for a replacement (which seems to be Fusi

A common suggestion, and one that I myself chose, is Fastmail. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Fairly inexpensive, fast, and great tools for using a custom domain (which I also highly recommend).

I thought the paragraphs about requiring KN95 in schools were interesting. My kids' school district recently had a policy change that requires everyone to wear KN95 or KF94 masks. What I've noticed is that most kids (including mi

I'm actually surprised it is not higher. For 40-64 year old in the US, the annual chance of death is about half a percent (before covid) so a 40% increase is still a very low mortality rate. https://hdpulse.nimhd.nih.gov&#x

They set up admittedly impressive environmental controls. Everything covered in plastic and sealed with positive pressure in the house. But the actual carpentry work was a joke. Hacking away at the friction surfaces with a coarse grit pow

A few years ago I bought a 90 year old house and it was an eye opening experience. My state has fairly strict lead laws and a lead paint test is required if you purchase a house built before a certain date and have children below a certain

Might want to re-read the article. I think this one flew way over your head. Unless your comment is satire, in which case your comment flew over my head.

I switched to mbsync from offlineimap about four years ago. I was having issues with offlineimap hanging during sync, as well as slow performance in general. I switched to mbsync and have had zero issues since. Just set it and forget it.

Unfortunately the article is extremely sloppy with the numbers and that makes it very hard to understand what is really going on. Primarily, they keep mentioning "average house-price-to-income ratio" but appear to be using averag

Thanks for the links, that is helpful. I wonder why every tech company uses longboarders in their ads? Is it a trope and done intentionally as a joke? Or more banal -- they are lazy and just copying each other?
