When it comes to the general public adopting crypto as usable, cash replacement currency, I think there's two issues with adoption. One is of course the network effect. I can't pay with (whatever)coin unless other people use it to

Do you have two air sensors, or do you just have one indoors and compare it with weather data?

Looks like you have to compile it yourself (meaning you need a mac with Xcode) or install it through testflight. Although I'm surprised that it's even allowed on testflight. iOS doesn't allow you to execute code of any kind l

I've had a small setup running for quite a while now. I let the package manager take care of updates (I'm using Arch ARM) and then log in through the web client to let it finish updating the database. I think I had one or two roug

Vim is contextually sensitive too, and it doesn’t tell you why “q” sometimes types a letter, or starts recording a macro, or exits the program. Because vim is specifically designed for power users who want a lot of capability and a very eff

PUBG was ported from desktop. It originally started out as an ARMA 2 mod, was turned into PUBG, and only much later ported over to mobile. It's a perfect example of the kind of game that can come out of the desktop gaming community. Yo

I'm not saying there aren't decent games on iOS. You can find gems like Monument Valley, Florence, or, as I mentioned, the games ported from other platforms like Limbo, Terraria, and so on. But take a look at the top charts on the

And those games are horrible. Almost all of them are built around exploiting weaknesses in the human psyche to convince people to spend money and become addicted. The biggest difference between those games and gambling is that you don'

Spent quite a while on the Wimbledon problem before giving up and reading the answer. But the answer is wrong, because they don’t play tiebreakers at Wimbledon (or any of the grand slams besides the US Open). Pretty frustrating TBH. Kind of

I recently started learning about how powerful Blender’s python API is. I have a YouTube channel that people support through donations, and every month I send out little 3D printed objects as a thank you gift. I wanted to include a 3D print

I think the overall point here is that your body is going to adapt to the stresses you expose it to. While it obviously won't be as extreme as a professional athlete, distance running will cause your body to adapt by improving cardiova

I used to be a distance runner but had to stop because of an injury, and I'm now a powerlifter. So yes I do know something about it. What is your point? Are you trying to argue that distance running leads to the same level of muscle hy

Anabolic and catabolic stress is dramatically different. Just compare the body of an olympic marathon runner vs an olympic weightlifter. The limiting factor for jogging is usually your cardiovascular system, and you stop when you feel exhau

I would love to see resistance training looked at in comparison to distance running, which is usually what's meant by "exercise" in this context. The theory behind jogging for exercise is that you'll raise your calorie o

Do you happen to know how to do that on a linux machine running X? I'm afraid to dive back into the xkb rule hell-hole to figure it out myself.

I should have said “many”, not “most”. I have no idea what percentage of people consume wine, beer, hard liquor or mixed drinks. Just pointing out that the carbohydrate content of red wine, lighter beers, and straight liquor is not as high

Same experience for me. I bought a cheap printer from eBay and slowly started re-designing and replacing existing parts by printing them out on the printer itself. Nearly 100% of the printer has been replaced, and I’m finalizing the design

Miller Lite has about 12 calories from carbohydrates, so not much. Roughly the same for most red wines. Not sure about cider because I don’t drink it, but in general most of the regularly consumed alcoholic drinks have a lot fewer carbohydr

Minor point, but Dr. Jason Fung has a very interesting and, in my opinion, compelling explanation of obesity and weight gain. He argues that the main driver of obesity in the long term is insulin rather than total calories, and because alco

No, but "you should drink alcohol every day" and "you should not drink alcohol every day" makes a massive difference in how much alcohol you can sell.
