One party rule is almost never a good thing over the long run as politicians tend to become more self-serving and corrupt the longer they don't have to worry about being held accountable to voters. Instead they worry more about being a

Yeah there was no mention of functional programming during my formal CS degree. I actually had started trying to learn more academic programming by taking a Coursera MOOC that I only realized was entirely based on functional programming aft

I followed the instructions to disable the recovery partition as I don't think I had allocated any space to it and upon reboot I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 and hopefully I didn't create any further problems down the road. I

Also something like this happens in the Greg Egan book Zendegi. It starts off with a anecdote about someone ripping their music files and the issues that arise from the copy (or something along those lines). But definitely an interesting re

If the claim of the former commissioner spraying people with bear mace is true then it is hardly a random attack but an escalation of violence after being attacked by a chemical weapon.

Yeah it reminded me of a 1980s Saturday Morning Cartoon PSA I saw as a kid evidently called the Computer Critters that ran on ABC. Basically a bunch of attempts to convince people they needed to get a computer at home. https://yo

This is a frustrating change being proposed and I don't like how powerless I feel to stop it. I even started donating to Signal because I support what they have done but it will dramatically limit the usability of the app. Many people

The one thing I know about is Penpot see https://penpot.app/ which is by the team that designed Taiga.io - It's fully open-source and I think tries to solve some of the same problems but it's still in beta. I&#x27

For anyone interested in getting a vague sense of what it might have been like to be Mikhail Gorbachev there is a pretty low-fi simulator game called Crisis in the Kremlin on Steam. I played through it and it requires juggling the various f

I replaced the LCD assembly on a MacBook someone gave me with one I bought of eBay. Somehow I succeeded and I didn't even break any of the ribbon cables.

Just curious as to what the use cases for this are from any current users. Is anyone using postmarked as a daily driver replacement for their phone ? Do people use it as a mobile low power server or just a fun handheld Linux computer ?

So far this seems fun. A little better than the map guessing one because there is no way to cheat by looking at a map or dictionary and could be a fun way to expand ones geographic knowledge.

So how would someone go about purchasing this ? Would it require custom ordering the PCB ? Seems like a very cool way to make affordable cheap USB microphones.

I can only guess that it probably has something to do with low incomes of a lot of citizens and foreign investors buying land/property. It could also be something akin to very low average income for rural residents mixed with a relativ

I think your interpretation of the word identity in this case is wrapped up in political discourse. Encouraging students to identify as an educated people for whom pursuing knowledge is both important and desirable seems like a net positive

All I needed to see was "conducted online by survey platform Pollfish". I don't know much about Pollfish but I am very suspect of online polling due to the challenge of finding representative sample sets.

The older 2017-2019 models were manufactured in Korea but they found the same defect in batteries built by LG in Michigan that they used on the 2021-2021 models. Which is why they are trying to figure out how to test the batteries to determ

I mean the Chevy Volt uses only 50% of it's battery capacity but it can more easily do that thanks to having a built-in gasoline engine that operates more like a generator for the electric engine. When I found out that they limited the

I could be wrong considering it was over 2 decades ago and I never verified the floating point bug. There were no expansion ports on the computer and so I was using one of the built-in USB ports as that was the only expansion possible. This
