The photography book Hungry Planet [1] by Peter Manzel shows what 30 families around the world typically purchase in groceries. Looking at them is almost like an exercise in find the bananas. A few of the families do not have bananas, but

If you want to be cynical, maybe it is just people sticking their hands out. Why aren't these companies "donating" like the National Association of Realtors, Boeing or Comcast? Here's a list of companies and organization

When you resize a window in MacOS it is already builtin that it is aware of the edges of inactive windows. The edges of the active window you are resizing will very lightly snap to the edges of other windows, such that is nearly impossible

Followup for anyone reading the above with a dark screen/flex cable problem in a 2016 MacBook Pro: today, Apple announced that they will now cover this problem up to four years after the original purchase date.

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro, and "luckily" the anti-glare coating failed. There is a free repair program for the screen appearing stained, and replacing the display panel replaced the integrated display ribbon cable that had also fa

Of course it runs Doom.[1] I don't think there are any esp32 boards that come with support for cellular networks, but there are esp32 boards that come with support for LoRa, which does low power, long range (miles), slow speed radio co

There should be a lot of signals to perceive where the user is sitting. If the phone is resting in the center console, the accelerometers can tell whether it is being lifted up to the right or to the left of the car whenever it is being use

They only put the anachronistic drives in iMacs which are desktop computers. You could leave a fast Thunderbolt 3 SSD permanently attached, and it would perform like a 2019 computer.

"Well-meaning bad ideas spoiling a generation" is just a hook to engage readers and listeners, and I don't think Haidt believes that. His ire seems directed toward lazy thinking, regardless of whether that comes in the form o

The press around Apple products has been concerned about them disappearing with the push for AirPods. Some articles chose to make the distinction that it wouldn't happen unless they added a Lightning port to the MacBooks, but the lates

You're in luck, since the 2018 MacBook Air has function keys instead of a touchbar! It's also a little bit faster and now has a high resolution retina display. It even still has a headphone port. https://www.apple.com&#

With regard to sunbathing in Sweden, it sounds like the study was originally designed to track many variables for possible influence on blood clots. Tanning behavior ended up having a high correlation with lower all-cause mortality. I haven

Do you mean the online HarvardX CS50 course? I started it when MOOCs were first appearing, and it includes Scratch. It looked very enthusiastic and buzz-worthy to me (which can be very good for a lot of people). However, past students doing

So far all I have done is use toy examples I have found on Github. Mostly I've used a text editor without an IDE to make small edits, then make to configure, build and flash. I've also used the Arduino IDE for the very simplest ex

Out of curiosity, how are you handling embedded programming with makefiles in CLion? Do have cmake run make, use compilation databases, or something else? I'd like to try CLion with a hobby project and some esp32 modules, but there doe

Probably somewhere between 60 and 200 million for the yearly lives lost. More than would mean the money is better spent on safety elsewhere such as better safety features on highways. Less than that, and spending on safety elsewhere becomes

I think holding Apple to higher standards for its environmental impact has a lot to do with why they innovate in this respect, and I think that it is appropriate, given their size as a manufacturer and their positioning as a premium product
