What gets me is that I'm way more likely to return to or recommend a service that I know I can easily cancel. Most of the streaming services are pretty good for this and I'm much happier returning to them because of that and will

I think for some actors this is very true. I spent a long time doing stuff in community theatre and I realised there were a number of different types of actors who approached the craft very differently but could turn in equally great perfor

Can someone put the size of this plane into context? Their test plane was 4 tons, and this one with a 2000km range is 8 tons. Would this be a small private jet?

That's wild. 13 is so old. In the UK it's completely normal for most secondary kids (11+) to travel to school on their own, and many younger kids will go to primary on their own. We live about 10 minutes from school. My eldest is

This is absolutely it for me. It's also why I like paragraphs to have some level of spacing between them. I'm currently reading a book that has quite minimal indentation on the first line of a paragraph, no spacing between, small

It's interesting to read War of the Worlds, and the descriptions of walking between the towns and villages that would one day merge to form greater London. There was all this space between them. Now it's one continuous connerbatio

Nope. It's one of those things that can take a bit to get used to, but everything on the electromagnetic spectrum is just light in the general sense. The only difference between radio-waves, x-rays, infra-red and (human) visible light

I've always been disappointed by how few strongly typed languages have copied Ada's range subtype system. It was one of the things that made the language so nice to work in, and helped make a number of approaches to formal method

I can't imagine many things worse than being famous. I guess if you are the kind of super-rich where you can completely avoid interacting with the rest of society that it would be fine, but not being able to just walk down the street o

It reminds me of when I used to work in SPARK Ada. On a number of projects where there was no supported Ada target (especially very small devices), it would be converted to C and then compiled for the target. That allowed us to perform the

That's the part that really struck me. I thought it was particularly impressive with the Sal Khan maths tutor demo and the one with BeMyEyes. The comment at the end about the dog was an interesting ad-lib. The only slightly annoying th

I often use ChatGPT in learning spanish, I find it's great for explaining distinctions between words with similar meanings where a dictionary isn't always a lot of help. I am constantly surprised by how well it copes with my typos

Likewise. Connecting to the mains is my main red-line on what I've prepared to buy from unknown brands with names that were pulled from a scabble bag.

Hey James, glad to see you've been putting all your free time to excellent use :D This looks amazing, I love all the attention to detail.

I wonder how much the trend towards smaller pieces has affected this. There seem to be many more very small detail pieces in the kits now, which makes for lovely detailed models, but increases the part count without increasing the size noti

That's awesome. I hadn't realised we were close to 20MW ones now. The Halide ones being installed in the North Sea are monsters, amazing engineering. I'm pretty pessimistic about climate change. But the way wind and solar jus

They seem prepared to go in at higher price points. Most other manufacturers seem to take the approach of getting as many features on the side of the box and then compete on price. They cost engineer the crap out of everything and it ends u

In terms of straight VR I'm completely with you. As someone who doesn't game they hold no attraction. The disconnection is also my big issue with VR. However, as an AR platform, whether it's pass-through or some future passiv

I think the description of the VisionPro as a dev kit is spot on. It's also a beta product in many way. Apple know full well that this is not a mass market product, they have made no attempt to make it even remotely affordable to most

Likewise. I could absolutely afford one, but I can't justify one. I'm the same with a smartwatch. I'd like one, but if I got one it would need to be cellular so I can leave my phone at home most of the time. But I just can&#x

I understand where you are coming from, but if you are starting out on a PhD and decide to do research that is branching off from work done by someone like Gino you could spend a long time chasing ghosts and it will be hard for you to turn
