Your gut can absorb about 90g per hour of glucose/dextrose and 30g per hour of fructose. This is what a competitive cyclist will consume in gel form.

This. Mainstream food in the US is unbearably sweet and sugary if you come from anywhere else in the world. Drinks are sweet. Chips are sweet. The deep fried onions at Olive Garden are sweet. The gravy for the prime rib is sweet. The g

It’s bullshit, there are no laws banning you from replacing a light switch in Australia. At worst you might invalidate your home insurance.

It’s not a crime to do your own electrical work in Australia, it just invalidates your insurance unless you get the work signed off. The websites saying it “could be illegal” strangely never reference the actual law you’d breach.

Having scanned the codebase, I think this is about quickly and safely launching and managing risc-v binaries as sandboxed processes? Which is useful, but has nothing to do with virtual machines in the usual sense of there being a hyperviso

I feel you. It’s long covid and it sucks. Try melatonin for sleep (the dosage and timing is very personal, I do 2.5mg at bedtime then read for about an hour). And ask about Metformin for the fatigue.

Very funny, completely American, mostly unrelatable for the rest of the world. Please continue and persist.

The disconnect is that in most of the world we only vote for one or two candidates on a ballot. In America you vote for everything from the president to the dog catcher on one ballot. While I think of it, the USA and UK should both stop hol

Australia checking in and agreeing, usually same day or even within a few hours for MRI, x-ray and ultrasound. Next day for CAT. Centralised records so each practitioner can see the full history. Oh and blood tests done with max 30 minute

Nannup, Western Australia. Or maybe Pemberton. Sorry I know you probably want somewhere in the US, but it really does tick all your boxes

Each bit is ~6dB, so 2/3 perceived volume is still 23 bits. 8 bits is 48dB, which is less than 1% of the original volume, and still using 16 bits

I develop an app called VISCompass ( https://github.com/mattclarkdotnet/viscompass2 ) - it's a very niche item designed to help visually impaired people sail boats. It's used by a small but keen community, and

Why would it cost you that? December puts on Tesla at $120 trade at $5 right now. You can lose all your stake but no more than that.

One way is to find something you want to make that has schematics available and then hack on it. For audio stuff https://sound-au.com has lots to start from. Use jlcpcb or similar and you can get small boards made for $1 each

After moving from Europe to Australia my sense of East and West was completely broken. I would exit a building and turn the wrong way all the time. Having done a lot of navigation/sailing in my youth, my brain automatically was comput

OK this one I do know about, as the school I went to in London was founded in 1619. The “poor scholars” who were the original pupils had a ration of 5 pints of ale per day - one with breakfast, two with lunch and two with dinner. This is

The basic concept is that the vault will hand out a secret to an app based on some other form of identification. Let’s say the app platform can assert that App A is allowed to use Secret S. then the vault will hand it out. This turns “som

Specifically, with your shoes on, seated without dipping either hip, your leg should be slightly bent when your heel is on the pedal and the pedal is at the lowest point. Yes, all of that detail matters! A full bike fit is best but the ab

Totally agree. I'm in the city so don't have roof space for both. If I could I would totally do it.

As you allude to, our water in WA is notably soft, maybe that helps? I mean it's full of iron but that mostly just seems to cause staining not clogging. That said, a heat pump running at 4:1 COP coupled to 20% efficient solar panels g

This is all so true! But it also describes the problem very well. Of course a $100k CNC machine design will always be developed by a small team collaborating as you describe. But the tools and processes that work for that most emphatical

Reported revenue is pretty reliable. Profits not so much. Revenue for a company and GDP for a country are at least broadly comparable.

by mattclarkdotnet 3y ago
I’m all for a sound industrial policy, but comparing market cap to GDP isn’t helpful. Better to compare corporate revenue which is typically 5% or less of market cap for FAANG.

See also Cloud Foundry, where the late arrival of something devs could use on a laptop was probably key to its failure to capture the market for PaaS.
