I agree that the main reason these things aren't repaired is that a new bike costs less than a couple of spare parts and labor. But I seriously doubt that the weird size pedal assembly is something else than bog standard Fauber crank.

I'm not from the US so I can't just go to Walmart and see. What are these non-standard parts? I'm aware that cheap shock absorbers can be quite wild but what weird parts would a non-suspension bike have? Of course you don&#x2

It looks also like something that won't be used by anyone who is familiar with the existing approaches, generally happy with them and is just looking for tools that would help them with what they are already doing. The nice part is tha

Bicycle parts are incredibly standardized compared to cars. Outside exotic racing bikes almost every brand uses the same Shimano parts or compatible copies from other brands. And even between component brands, the way the components attach

First, people don't know that bicycle components are replaceable and fairly standardized. Second, replacing a few worn out parts with decent quality replacements costs more than a new bike-shaped object.

It's not about CPU power, it's about software. Just putting a mutex in the wrong place or doing serious computation in UI thread will get you jitters, no matter how fast your CPU is. People do smooth screen updates on Commodore 64

I'm not completely convinced. The early PCs didn't need heat sinks or fans other than the 80mm PSU fan. They were inefficient, but the total power wasn't that huge. Even for newer computers, I have a Raspberry Pi 2 that draws

This is the key point. In the arranged meetings and workshops that everyone likes so much there's constant pressure to be positive and come up with quick solution before deadline. Open ended complaining is far more productive.

The question is whether 500W counts as high intensity, and whether the results are applicable for people whose high intensity is 2 to 4 times higher than the test subjects. I have to admit that I didn't read the linked article, but pre

That at least make some sense, but I don't understand whose benefit is showing results for Rider and IDEA when I search for some detail in CLion that is different from the other IDEs from the same company.

So that explains how Google knows that when I'm searching for X, it can give me results for slightly related Y instead. Sometimes it works, often it feels almost hostile.

It's a small sample size but I've seen more failed RAM chips than other components together. And a socket would make upgrades easier. Which of course isn't great if you're trying to sell higher spec up front instead of g

This was before M1. I'm not sure if there was a technical reason to not have a RAM socket but the chip was soldered directly to mainboard in any case.

When this happened to me, I was told that the memory can't be replaced without replacing the entire motherboard. Which means that after warranty period has passed the machine is either very expensive to repair or unrepairable.

Now that you remind me, the Amarok update was terrible. For some time I used to run a self-built version of 1.4 and I see there is now a fork called Clementine and a few clone projects. For me streaming services have mostly replaced local m

To me it sounds like someone's still making a living from R&D even though the big money is at casual games and selling diamonds or hats in in-game stores. The question is just how to get that job.

What would you recommend for someone who thinks the math part is interesting (and yes I know in normal game project Unity or Unreal Engine would handle it), but isn't that interested in in promoting their indie project?

Do you remember the two control panels from Windows 8, where some settings were available only in one and others in the other? One did look quite modern.
