Having one of my direct reports mention that they are trans and that using "guys" to refer to the team made them feel left out was really all it took... you have to take people at their word at some level and "consider altern

I have substantial historical evidence that I prefer chocolate ice cream to cherry, alas it is unpublished unless you count grocery receipts. :-)

When I was an undergrad we had a trebuchet building competition between a team of mechanical engineers, and a team of physicists. Believe if or not, the mechanical engineers were the ones who spent the entire building time making CAD models

I think you are wrong, stating it prominently and repeatedly makes the warning disappear into noise for users so there's little downside and a lot of upside if it were in fact being operated by the FBI. I doubt it is though, I don&#x27

If in direct comparison they rate McDonald's higher, then that's fine... McDonald's is a huge business, they obviously have people who like them. But it should be a direct comparison, I certainly think KFC is far superior to

by neltnerb 6y ago
From a utility standpoint, I mean, yeah. You should definitely rate McDonalds lower than a restaurant with food you liked better, if people want to search for "how was the food" divided by "cost of the food" that's

When I moved to California for a while I once made the mistake of describing my food at a restaurant with "fine, thanks" when the server asked how it was. Apparently this translates very differently in the culture of the Bay Area

How would someone know this when visiting them for an occasional purchase? You might easily assume that the lower rated items rapidly stop being carried, that the items that are carried are curated to have a real bias towards higher ratings

I know that if the delay is constant, a good musician can compensate for it. I think it's a lot easier to hear that two things don't happen at exactly the same time than it is to tell whether two things happen 200ms or 300ms apart

If you titled the article "Timbre -- why notes sound different across instruments" then the reader would know which wikipedia article to look up or which search terms to use to learn more. No reason that learning a fairly interest

Sure, you can do that kind of thing in principle. I think the vocal cord model needs to be constrained which will not be very fair, but I was reading papers over a decade ago about simulating speech with physical models of the voice. I assu

My electronic music professor literally defined exactly what this article is trying to describe as "timbre" meaning the overtone sequence (oddly "overtone" and "timbre" are not present in the article?) plus off

Apologies for not finding citations, but as an example of... suspicious behavior... Firefox had a big campaign about blocking Facebook tracking with a big push to install an addon to reduce Facebook data collection. They did not do that wit

From a purely pragmatic point of view, a lot of especially Eastern Europe and Eastern Germany are viscerally aware that "anything you're doing socially, religiously, politically" will always somehow include something illegal

Three full pages of insults and (not to us, but still) jargon before the problem is described clearly. Another full page before it talks even vaguely about what "taking a stand" means to them, and puts them in prose instead of jus

Wait, wait, let's not give the wrong impression. Yes, you can recycle PLA to an extent but you can't mix it in with your recylables. Few cities can recyle PS, much less PLA or at least they aren't set up to handle it. If you

It contaminates compost if you put PLA into a regular composter. It requires a special industrial compost facility to handle it and most aren't. So it's trash. If you put PLA in the recycling bin it is making sorting even worse be

The "real problem" is a futile entity to identify. There are an awful lot of real problems. I really like this technology. It's not going to fix the world. I like that the source is biological because it won't depend to

Oh, that's exciting! I was last looking hard in 2018 but I'm still surprised I didn't notice. Alas, I've got the whole "phone needs to be small enough to use one handed" due to disability stuff so https:/

The thing is that you're largely talking about people who have influenced culture, whereas the article seems to define "culture heroes" as people with name recognition across society (presumably including across ages, regions

Or a phone. Do either of these exist yet as single display devices? I've only seen half measures with a regular LCD plus an e-ink add on that was very much a gimmick. I would be so thrilled for an e-ink phone to get rid of my current o

You can turn off the backlight for an LCD and rely on it being reflective, but the contrast is very poor since at least half the light is blocked. In this application I see the use of e-ink as being: - Maybe more readable if you're rea

I, as an equipment designer, would select an e-ink color display for my main feedback if: - it was battery powered and needed a display with infrequent updates but super low power - the display was otherwise a large part of the power (i.e.

I am not the OP but I do. I'd love to use small color e-ink displays for low power indicator displays on equipment I design. I only run into it with hand held battery stuff, so for stuff I plug in it's kind of a non-issue. Feel fr

Oven is overkill for my level of skill, a peel seems about the right next step. It's just a favorite when we can't eat out and is nice and easy.

I have only done it in a home oven or a regular commercial kitchen without a fancy super hot oven. I like the idea of learning to launch it though, I'm already sad that I can't toss the dough without dropping it so that seems like

Same, I was a paid LastPass user and the Firefox add-on was so bad that it was worth negative money. They clearly didn't care.

Same here, I'm happy to pay Bitwarden because they have a highly functional firefox addon. LastPass was garbage for like two years before I dropped them and that was itself years ago. It's been bad for a while. I definitely don&#x
