So I've mostly sat out on social media in the past 20 years - I never hopped onto the Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Twitter, anything bandwagons - and I conclude I've been absolutely fine missing the minute-to-minute beat. I certainly

Funky! I live a few mins on foot away from this Zoo and have a year-long ticket for the little one (it doubles as a nice central park of sorts, with several playgrounds). I actually recognize these two.

I definitely do get it, as someone with a (loose and not organized) physical ticket collection. That said, I think it's partly the authentic object I'm attached to. While I'm absolutely amazed at the length you went to create

Yeah, this rings true. I'm not an Apple customer, but I certainly remember the days when Mac users had to justify the much worse bang-for-the-buck of Apple hardware (then) with it being the only ticket to their preferred software exper

> Are robot-grade servos getting so much cheaper these days? I was in the market for some servos lately, and e.g. Feetech sells what are basically clones of the popular Korean Dynamixel robotics servos for a lot cheaper.

Nor did I claim it is. My comment was concerned with making it abundantly clear that this glitch happened in specific scenarios and not just any and all window resizing.

I assume you know this, but just to be sure: The "before" state only happened in a fallback codepath when using a legacy application, i.e. an X11 app in the modern Wayland-based desktop. When using modern apps, or when using the e

Ironically, probably just sleepiness - I was posting from bed with an infant that wakes up periodically. Sadly WiFi is not opt-in in my bedroom :-) It was Finnair from Berlin to Seoul, via Helsinki. Edit: I found a YouTube video showing a v

To add to a sibling comment: Thanks to the Ukraine war and having to fly around both Russia and Ukraine, this is many additional routes from Europe toward East now that used to be shorter.

I couldn't sleep on planes my entire life until one year I did Europe-Korea 8 times and it became so routine it started working. The routine part, I think, is what took the "I won't sleep on this long flight" anxiety awa

Nah. I do Europe-Korea frequently, and I've definitely slowly settled into a happy optimum of sleeping 7-8 hours inbetween the meals. Killing time is a rather slower flight experience than being unconscious. I'm very happy WiFi co

Relax. It was obviously tongue-in-cheek. The "fuck you, pay me" thing feels like a very American mindset though. Over here in Europe we're more of a mind that you do your civic stuff first and delay the boring money-making un

This is kind of my idea for how to update funeral rites in the time of science: When someone passes, fully sequence a number of samples of their genome and put the data into a really good archival medium. To me, this feels like a great way

Someone asked if there's a way to earmark donations toward specific purposes. They deleted their comment while I was replying, but I saved it: At the moment we don't do this generally, but we've been dipping our toes into it

Yes, we do. (Additionally, if you're in Germany, a few years ago the laws changed and donations below a certain sum annually don't require an individualized form; for this purpose we have a standard one in the docs section of our

Rubber tyres won't last a 1000 years. In videos available of it they already look a bit worn and dirty.

I didn't read it as a "personal insult". It's true that most software engineers never work on safety-critical systems. The nature of the products they work on, or the nature of their contributions to those products, limi
