As the owner of three different recumbents, I don't care about max power output. I care about the relaxed pose. And the low drag in that pose.

In my view it is a clear flaw that the signal to terminate can arrive while the server is still getting new requests. Being able to steer traffic based on your knowledge of the state of the system is one of the reasons why you'd want t

It is entirely understandable that Tesla would wing it without lidar. Once one gets over the assumption that their priority is creating a level 5 system. What Tesla cares about is selling expensive vaporware. If this vaporware depended on a

Nice! Have been using US altgr-intl for a long time. And Eurkey looks more comfortable for my uses. Previously, the layout not being available on stock Windows would have prevented me from considering it. But I don't care about that an

Wow! I went looking at my region and it was so easy to see the river valleys and plains. Before, I only had a rational understanding how downstream will always be lower. This is the first time I intuitively saw where water flows on a map!

Eh, don't feel bad about the inevitable. My conscious self knows well to just count the carbs when I'm too low to behave. At least then I'll know how much insulin to dose when the curve ticks upwards again.

Yes living alone with diabetes is fine given modern treatment and some robust habits. Here's the instruction to the people I know I will be spending longer stretches of time with: When I look very tired, disoriented, or talk incoherent

That has been my constant experience in Haskell. When the compiler complaints are gibberish, add types until it makes sense. It leads to this culture where people say that you have to nail down all the types. Which certainly is good advice

After SARS and MERS, the risk of another coronavirus-outbreak was well established.

Cut it. Citing a principle from old scripture is not proselytizing. Maybe you don't like reading old stories, but some others do. I enjoyed the read and think it's relevant to the discussion. We can choose how to look at the share

I once came in on a project where one dev used "func( arg )" and the other used "func (arg)". They would reformat each other's lines when they changed something, so the diff had a lot of whitespace changes. The two

I don't like the analogy to writing a novel because in a novel you do want suspense, drama, surprises and generally a non-ordinary flow of the story. With source-code, you want none of that. The whole process is geared to remove it. An

It can make sense to combine stoves used for heating with peltier elements. When the heat is used at lower temperature than the combustion, you can get electricity on the exchange. So you run your boiler at 105% normal capacity and extract

I have developed this pet theory that humans have grown fond of fire and will feel secure in its presence. How do they know they're at a fire instead of just basking in the sun? When they are inhaling, I mean smelling, its fresh smoke

"Number 73!" All regulars are laughing, hard. They shout out in turns "73!", and laugh again. Confused, the person asks what's so good about 73. Says a regular, catching his breath and wiping tears from his eyes: &q

It looks like this is a case where everybody is happy. A process that was plagued by manual errors now runs smoothly. And there is an admin around to jump in should it break. While the firm might be indignant if they found out, they may act

Unicode?! YAGNI! Advocating for a universal language (that must presumably be written in Latin letters) is an entertaining way to round off the manual to one's editor.

Given that Omicron is assumed to have replicated in an animal population (mice) for a year, we should expect there to be other variants in animals. Even if we managed to vaccinate all humans at the same time, we'd likely see a new brea

Proper client-side hashing uses a nonce generated by the server. The transmitted hash is only valid in that session. Even if the nonce and the hashed product are logged, you can't reuse it, because the nonce will be different for your

The way I read it: The argument starts with the reader being in a gym. So having paid the gym is given and we assume that the gym must provide some sort of value. At some higher fee, the value would be negative and the reader would not have

I can follow the argument on how FSD does not fall under the law because of its requirement for driver attention. I do wonder how much water that holds, but that is for another thread. What I'm curious about is what you mean by "d
