   I would presume it’s entirely subjective and the significance of each song is encoded in the context of life at that particular time. There were a couple of months this year where my kids wanted to listen to Sesame Street “Letter L” and “Th

   I’d love to be a fly on the wall at Microsoft right now, to see if they are in red alert to get users back, planning subterfuge by breaking APIs used by Wine or what have you, or if they are taking it as a loss. I recently jumped to Debian

   I’ve used Ubuntu since 7.04 and recently jumped from Ubuntu to Debian. It feels more like home than ever before. All the things you’re used to without the corporate “sugarcoating”.

   It’s the US government, and it could easily develop their own Liberty- or Freedom-type if the current administration wanted to leave their own mark.

   Nobody on the train was registered to do so.

   How long would it take for the train to register at a station? What happened to traffic control via semaphores? This situation is an absolutely perverse application of policy.

   It you stretch it little further, those formal directives also include language and vocabulary of a particular domain (legalese, etc…).

    I think it was a time before the vintage feels for CRTs really. Sure, there were greybeards naysaying the coming of the LCD due to motion artefacts and smearing but the rest of users just wanted something high-res and flicker-free.

    The draw of the LCD in the 2000s was the idea that the image you were seeing was a pixel-perfect representation of the creator’s intent.

    I don’t understand how a Microsoft team that respects its customers (and maintains shortcuts) can co-exist in an org that sees their customer as marks.

    Some of it is likely “subconscious” long-term planning. University programs that result in high income post-graduation typically have prerequisites that include heavy extracurricular activity involvement. The truth is if you don’t do it ear

    NVIDIA would still have service contract obligations to fulfil, and would provide support for its existing products for a period of time. Don’t worry about Nintendo. Their pockets are deep and they are creative enough to pivot. They would r

    There was a comment years/decades ago on slashdot about someone walking under a malfunctioning ceiling-hung security CRT TV, and feeling like they were hit on the head when they walked under it. The assumption was that the TV had an ab

    Interesting to note is how much typing accuracy decreases if you enable dual-language single-keyboard typing (e.g. Eng + Fr) on an iPhone, since targets end up having to account for two separate dictionaries.

    Apparently, the Hisense U8QG has DP-over-USB-C support. This might be the Trojan horse for DP in the living room.

    How did people justify that cost? Was 6k ”more affordable” back then? Was there more money to spend?

    Thanks for that. I went Googling with a name, and it looks like the pods on current-model Audis is a LIDAR in one and radar in another.

    I am surprised that I didn’t see discussion about Audi’s lidar that’s been in use in production vehicles now. Yes, it’s on a different level, only used for ADAS, but it’s still lidar that’s actively used.

    Re: nutrition I am curious about the influence on height by self-limited diets in children who are picky eaters. Is there some self-regulation process that decreases pickiness when nutritional status is at risk?

    It will be interesting to see how the market will determine whether subjective “fun” is the same in an entry-level versus a premium experience. Short of some ego boosting element, the experience is likely the same.
