As an outsider to web dev, I think there's a lot of wheel reinventing going on in web technologies over the past 10 years or so, and we still haven't fully caught up to where we were. XMPP was a federated instant messenger protoco

Binary is used often by embedded programming/FPGA dev types. I use binary and hexadecimal every day.

Between stuff like this and the fraud, why would anyone still use Wells Fargo at this point?

You could say that you are a team player who cares most about getting things done as effectively as possible, and have no qualms working within whatever work environment or tech paradigm in order to do that. You are good at all of them. You

Embedded programming is this 99% of the time. Abstracting hardware away is a silly notion. Docker? Cloud? Hard to do when your code only runs at all on one specific custom board. The protocol you wrote to talk to that one chip isn't w

Well, for one thing we are all fatter, and the prevalence of depression in obese people has been found to be much higher than in healthy weight people. We are also more sedentary. For another, most of us spend a lot of time on social media,

I think I agree with you that distilled/ultrapure water wouldn't be harmful, but I think it would be okay only due to consuming electrolytes in food. I bet the amount of salts/minerals you need in food increases if you only d

I would like to participate there, but it is invite only, last I checked.

Nah, floods of new users have come before. The lack of images, politics, and drama, combined with the "boring" design drives the undesirables away, leaving behind people who like talking about tech and other interests.

I haven't done any psychedelics but I spent a lot of time meditating a few years back, and I experienced something like this on a smaller scale. It wasn't quite as profound as "thousands of years" or anything, more like,

There is a mobile-only client called troddit.com that is really good. It shows what could have been possible with pure browser client on mobile. Not only is it waaaaaay faster, the UI is better too.

I wish I could buy ceramic Penrose P3 tiles to put on my floor or wall. They 2 different tiles instead of 1, but they're simple diamond shapes, and they tile aperiodically.

Actually, the article says the report says harm happens at 2x the current recommended fluoridation level.

Agreed, but only with people they actually know in person.

You don't know how old exactly OP's kids are. There is a big difference between 13 and 19.

I feel like all they would have to do is make it have Switch-level performance on handheld, then go to 4k only when docked.

Yes, and seeing the Steam Deck makes me excited for whenever or if ever they finally make a Switch 2. Surely 6 years and multiple GPU generations is enough to let me play the Zelda games in 4k.

They even nailed the headrest screens on the space "plane"! The lunar landing scenes are also mind blowing when you realize the film was released before the actual moon landing!

It is supposed to. It is supposed to be the exact same codes. If that is not the case then you were mis-billed, which according to that book is a common occurance.

There is a book I recently purchased called "Never Pay The First Bill". It covers this exact kind of scenario and tells you what to do step by step, all the way up to small claims court, though you usually don't need to go th

> I find it very hard to believe an IQ test on a six year old is going to be much of a indicator of anything. It is, though. To a disturbing extent. Individual IQ scores predict career success more than any other single metric.

The next time I build a gaming computer, I'm gonna hold my nose and do it. I know Proton is good, but it is still a compromise for a lot of games.

Ugh, I need to learn more math. How do I even start? I know multi variable calculus, I know the basics of linear algebra, and I know Fourier transforms. Yet this article is half gibberish to me.

Yeah but the Russell 3000 tends to slightly beat the S&P 500, and it comprises 98% of the market.

That's awesome. Seems like it would pair well with Make.

I think a big difference is that humans have the ability to introspect, and examine their own mental processes to see how they drew a conclusion and what information went into it. We can then choose to update our behavior. Sometimes we &quo
