>Stranger things is more like nostalgia for early 2000s 80s nostalgia. Vaporwave music and all the visual design around it embraces this pretty hard. If a clip isn't literally set to 80s commercials it's at least full of VHS di

My phone (Huawei) has a charging animation with rising bubbles (flowing from the cable into the phone). The speed of the bubbles reflects the charge speed. If I use the original charger (and cable) it says "fast charging", the ani

I had some of that too though, that's kinda the idea. I found carby foods were most consistently weight adding, while meaty and fatty not so much. I recall all you can eat bbqs actually resulting in weight loss the following day. But i

The real takeaway about mass loss via carbon dioxide is that you're changing how the engine works, and you're unlikely to notice it. Get a digital scale, weigh every morning after toilet. I find there is a very quick and variable

Sure but modern stools are designed to break to make you buy another, so you'll save money in the long run. They don't make them like that anymore. You'll be able to pass it down to your grandkids one day.

Haha yea I did. Though he even acknowledged that if he wasn't quitting, I'd have had a grumpy coworker instead of any training.

He was quite diligent about taking regular and appropriate breaks. Partly in response to having worked through too many lunches prior. Brain sag still occurred though.

It was just me and the more experienced guy, and we finished what he was working on. The other guy was busy with other things, and never had a similar induction of his own. When I started to work with him after those 2 weeks, it was very ap

I recently took a junior role working on a decades old legacy codebase, in which all developers and almost everyone who had touched the code had quit in the previous year. The week I joined, the most experienced remaining developer put in h

vscode is great for working on remote machines. i work across a few and theres almost no difference between working on a local vscode workspace and a remote one, as long as the connection is good. easy to set up, and theres no syncing or an

International standards for reference connectors for medical devices. Basically, if you make syringes or IV lines with a screw fitting, the dimensions of that fitting need to be within some range so it'll make a secure connection to s

But that assumes X is not an unknown, which is kinda the point. "X-like" is an easy pill to swallow for people who want to reduce risk, since they already know X. If you just want to poke a stick at some lesser known Y, it's

I listened to a podcast a while back that discussed why the US shifting towards this approach (after a period of less constrained funding post WW2) has lead to worse returns on research investment. The basic premise boiled down to: Scient

Oof, I used to work with one of the few workshops in the world that could produce small batches of parts down to 0.0001mm or something a bit ridiculous. Their pricing and supply times factored in a pretty significant failure rate, and we we

As a former mechanical engineer, the forgiveness is an amazing feature of software development. Not only can you easily correct mistakes, but you can deliberately run head first into them over and over, essentially brute forcing a working s

Yea it's crazy. My dad has a classic Gameboy that his great grandfather purchased during the first world war. That Gameboy saw a couple more wars after that too, including 5 years up my grandads ass in a POW camp, and 2 more inside a

I also don't quite understand the leap to controversy, which seems to rest on the assumption that this person does not have a pile of leaves for a head.

So porting between ML frameworks was my job for a while, and the short answer is Yes, common layers can be quite simple to describe and reproduce in different frameworks. eg "Conv2D(2,3)" is enough info, in code or text, to descr

I've had the same thing with Pocket Casts and new podcasts. It's a bit jarring to listen to podcasts full of Americans and Brits and and hear ads for some Australian bank or something

There are some parents like the parent comment, who claim that having a child is some essential ingredient for learning empathy. To me, all that says is that they lacked empathy before having a child, and continue to lack empathy for anyone

I've found the perfect notebooks for me are A5 spiral bound dot grids. Fairly compact size, unintrusive binding. The dot grid forces less structure than lined, but isn't the wild west of blank. A few months ago I also looked into

I'm surprised Ethernet over Power doesn't seem to get more attention. It's basically Ethernet cabling without running any new wires. It was the only thing that fixed wifi availability throughout our townhouse. I'd be int

Pixel 5 does. I tried with one recently and noted it only does mirroring, unlike Samsung and Huawei which launch some pseudo desktop OS when plugged in.

I worked in a couple of Japanese tech offices. Contracts and salary included prepaid overtime, to get around the government saying ALL overtime should be paid. But they must have also allowed up to 40 hours per month to be considered "

You can set up your phone (or DSLR) as a webcam in a pinch, no need to purchase new hardware. I recently upgraded to a gaming laptop with no camera at all, and for a moment thought my remote working life would be burdened by expensive and c

That seems to fit even better, albeit it in a different way. Rather than funding science to make a good contribution out of personal interest (and understanding), he could have been motivated out of a feeling of admiration, or intellectual
