Maybe my pockets are not deep enough, but I completely fail to understand the value proposition of iPad Air vs the regular iPad. If you want something powerful or big - go with Pro, if not - choose the "regular", much cheaper. Wha

Definitely my experience as well. Another dimension to this is native vs 2nd language speakers. For those of us who had to learn English, we put a lot of effort into grammar, while native speakers whip out half-baked sentences without a sec

I admit I have not properly read a single book in a couple of years. These days when it comes to technical stuff I much more prefer to fill in gaps by reading articles or documentation. Technical books are so long it feels like authors are

my parents live in Russia and my grandma has alzheimer's, so as a present "for her" I bought an airtag - so in case my mom loses grandma in a crowd she can be found. Little did I know, GPS jammers around the city make my gran

I no longer reside in Russia, so I am not being targeted by these. But I think that it mostly comes down to companies being able to pay for these ads. Mastercard / Visa payments no longer work in Russia. If a company has a way to pay (

oh, right! Didn't have my coffee yet :-) But one difference is Rustore actually has payments and subscriptions, which hurts Google more.

My grandfather, who is a nuclear scientist, and my mom also come from a small closed-off city in Siberia (Russia). Visiting my grandparents I remember we had to go through a sort of border control to get there. My mom told stories of how th

OpenAI structured outputs are pretty stable for me. Gemini sometimes responds with a completely different structure. Gemini 3 flash with grounding sometimes returns json inside ```json...``` causing parsing errors.

Last year I decided to give a try to semaglutides, at the time I was exercising pretty heavy, both weight lifting and long distance running. And then I went to vacation to Maldives for a couple of weeks. Not much chance to exercise when you

Just like in programming, the boring but true answer is "it depends", because every situation is different. A generic advice that I learned is that muscle-strengthening exercises help A LOT. Basically muscles form a protective cor

Of those 50 injections around 15 were PRP and the rest were hyaluronic acid injections. I was doing them back in Russia and a PRP injection there would cost around $80. I keep doing hyaluronic acid injections every 3 months just to be safe,

Yes, in PRP they take your blood, extract platelet-rich plasma from it and inject it into your joint. With SVF they make you a small liposuction (around 80 ml if I am not mistaken, local anesthesia), then also extract cells from it that are
