Image search without much ability to filter or give context is rather limiting for such a task. A web search for some sort of museum/art related topic would have been more fruitful. Mona, Tasmania or The Great Wall of Vulva are example

A bit before the Virtual Boy in 95. It's taking a while.

Love it. We're making good use of their picture books collection. It's great to come across older books that are new to us and we would wouldn't likely come across elsewhere. Also handy to have a huge supply of books in a non

It would be fun if the social credit score could be manipulated by the chat. I like that it was more generous than Microsoft in that I was able to continue to ask questions from the list rather than being excluded from the service once the

I believe trick in Germany is to formally tell them you are pregnant before they try to fire you / pass over you for promotions etc. Tell them too early and you risk discrimination, tell them too late and you risk missing out on legal

Google too in a way. I dumped some children's poems from an old book into an app to make it easier to read to my kid when she was small. It failed an IARC rating recently (after a few years) presumably because "the cock is crowing

In Germany Amazon, Rossmann, Hipp, and Budni give out baby boxes each worth maybe 5-20€ of baby stuff in exchange for the birthdate and parental details. Perhaps check their privacy info to find who they share/sell the data with/t

As an example, an old Asus board of mine has trouble with modern m2 drives. A PICe m2 adapter solved the problem and the Samsung ssd worked without issues thereafter.

I went this route. I replaced Dropbox with nextcloud and various backups with Duplicati on Hetzner a few months ago. Nextcloud seems to be mature enough to mostly work. The sync issues are worrying but not a deal breaker so far. As with Dro

The fastCDC paper says they used random values. "It employs an array of 256 random 64-bit integers to map the values of the byte contents in the sliding window" I presume using something else would skew the distribution of selecte

Implementing fastCDC is fun (2016). Do you have a suggestion on what to read on the topic since then? I don't keep up with these things. A quick search came up with the following but I haven't read it yet. Fan Ni and Song Jiang, &

They are interconnected though. Reputation for faults add up. To me the following is vw's fault. I've recently had an id4's location fail, and the map was all over the place. It got worse as I drove on. Annoying, but I though

Once upon a time I did something like this for about 500km of track. The first pass was to dump the images at regular intervals into google earth. It worked great. The nice part about using ge was each pin had a km reference which made it v

The tolerances are impressive. Not perfect. I had electric Lego parts as a kid, bought new in the late 80s, that had trouble fitting together. It was annoying at the time. My kids have a lot of old Duplo. Unlike the Lego it has not aged wel

Video killed the flash vector star and games moved to steam. A good example of the former is a e-card service that eventually chose to move to video. Video is worse for their product but there was/is a more robust path to move to video

The video links to a good article about the paper. I like that they used micro ct scans and returned the samples to where they were collected. https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/miniature-frogs-se... "Semic

Where I live people who want a helmet but not something on their head use an inflatable that triggers on falling. I presume they can be used with scooters. A scarf style thing is hopefully not as gross to share as a helmet. https:/&#x

On mobile, for the tour, I found the camera moved a bit quickly and would also cut corners. I think it would be helpful to break the movement down a bit and add intermediate positions. Rotate camera, move along in the direction that your he

I agree, but it's worth noting that scratch can be used on a phone. Wonder Workshop is an example.

I suspect it is desirable as one is supposed to search for the marketed products. The magic smoke that binds the device to the app or blinky lights is of little importance.

Unfortunately this is my experience at home in Germany. I don't know if Vodafone shapes their traffic but the the effect is the same when their network is having trouble for various reasons.

I think systems like this make sense. I'm not yet convinced that they are worth 3k more than a pico and a fan, at least as a retrofit.
