Honestly, as someone who is starting to go long-sighted, this is tempting me towards getting a 13 pro (or Pixel 6 i it is similarly good). I frequently find myself using my phone camera to zoom in on ridiculously small text on things, but m

Likewise. I'm in the market for a new phone. I want to get something top of the line and then keep it for at least 5 years, so good updates etc. But I have serious issues with both Google and Apple at this point. For me it isn't r

That was a great episode of Jim Al-Khalili's "The Life Scientific" which is worth listening to. It's an excellent series for anyone interested in science and engineering, he does a great job of showing just how varied sc

It's interesting to hear that. Here in the UK I find GMaps way better than Apple maps in a number of ways. Apple maps has a frustrating habit of sending you to anything but the proper entrance to large venues or places of interest, it&

This is kind of my point really. All those various "playful" mac designs were loved or hated by people, but they were interesting enough for people to have opinions about. Now the only aesthetic that anyone goes for is a tedious,

I really miss the playfulness and willingness to experiment in some of the old designs. Even the G4 cube was a really interesting idea, even if it had issues. As much as the asthetic doesn't appeal to me, I love that a lot of gamers mo

Yep, we've just added a new 1.4GW interconnect between Norway and the UK. I believe it's the longest undersee interconnect in the world. Hopefully more will follow, I think more interconnects over greater distances are really impo

It's getting particularly problematic for international sites. What constitutes offensive language in one country might be a perfectly normal name, or product, in another country that uses the same language, let alone in another langua

Yep. We did our own painting and I think we made that mistake. Used the one-coat stuff that seems to be more "rubbery" and you end up with a thick layer that will just peel off once it gets damaged. Lesson learned.

My only issues with command strips has been that I've had the paint come off the wall. This seems to be a problem with some types of paint but not others, where they don't bond as well with the wall/undercoat. Obviously not a

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has a section set on a Zepplin, it looks like a really nice way to travel. Like a cruise liner of the air.

Yeah, I use a pair of Shure IEMs, they came with at least half a dozen different sets of tips, in different sizes and types.

That's good to know. Their total inability to do customer service in general makes me twitchy.

Is a company that's been going for 10 years still a startup? Perhaps it's just me, but I just wouldn't assume that joining a 10 year old company (especially one that had essentially been spun out of a another venture, Think V

Does Google actually have senior management? It just all seems to be random teams running around chucking ideas around and then sodding off after they've screwed it up. The place just seems to be in disarray at the top levels.

It's one of the aspects that is in my cons column as I decide on a new phone. I'm waiting to see what the Pixel 6 turns out like, but at the back of my mind is the knowledge that if there is a problem with it I'll be shouting

Nice. Dataflow analysis is really quite useful, this is making me think I should take a good look at Rust. I used to work in SPARK and I miss the analysis tools we had. The insights that flow analysis could give you in a tight loop was so u

I watched that last night, it was a great talk. Enough technical details to understand the how without getting bogged down in the intricate details. Although it did remind me that I've not touched assembler in about 20 years and now I

The SPARK Ada language prevents recursion by only allowing you to call methods that are defined above the method you are in. It has a similar rule to prevent recursive calls between packages although I forget the details of that. From this

Nice to see big companies working like this. I wish more places would understand that different approaches work for different people, teams, products, technologies and contexts. There is no one true way, and most attempts to impose one tend

Even if I could see the full back of the car I think I'd still risk a brain-fart. It's like a driving Stroop Test (where words like "blue" are shown but you have to say what colour they are shown in, not what colour they

This certainly matches my anecdotal experience. For me the weight-loss benefits of more exercise were far more to do with lowered apitite and improved sleep than they were burning calories.

I've been wondering if/when China would start tightening their rules. However I'm not entirely clear from the article exactly what the status of crypto in china now is. It's not clear to me from the quoted statement if i

I'm the same, I very rarely read a book twice. I think some of the Pratchett books are the only ones. Perhaps if I had a lot more time, or was a faster reader, I might, but for me there's always a new (for me) book that I would ra

Yeah, the description of it being "solved" was confusing to me when reading it. I was expecting them to have found some kind of exact process for generating all the valid patterns or something. It's still great.

It's been so frustrating watching people celebrating UK governments who have repeatedly failed to really tackle the supply side issues while propping up the demand side with tweaks that just increase the prices. The most amazing exampl
