Solar storms don't work like that. It's not the movie-like electronics blow up left and right thing. It's quasi-DC currents in the ground thing. What that means is that the power grid is designed for AC currents, and now ther

That's where external thermal interface comes in. If docking your phone involves attaching external cooler, then power is no longer an issue.

I'm kinda surprised they go for privacy aspects and customizability. Android is Linux enough for most use cases, and the big problem is just having root access to it and an ability to customize. A pure linux phone would just be a point

I find this seriously confusing too. None of these sound like major, or even all that useful, features, and yet they talk about "considering whether there is any value in a crippled version of Chromium". What makes it crippled?

So... that's just "gas station on every corner" model taken to it's extreme, no?

Which will be the job for the same people that put up buildings on block corners, rather than something you do yourself.

Makes it double sad that Chevy Volt got discontinued and no similar designs were made.

Hm, the US tend to have "home" defined as a stand along house with a garage/land plot, which makes it possible to have a charger at home. In most of the world city people live in flats/apartments, where you can't re

Predictability, no? Sometimes you want to know how large your data really is if it was to get onto an uncompressed filesystem.

Sure. And it makes a clang as it falls. Can't quite play tetris, however - i start to lose track of the pieces once there are like 5-10 of them.

It's been a while since i've been around that community, and recently i wondered what developed between 2013-ish and now. More specifically, has the recent rise and push for recognition of plurality originated from tulpa communiti

And responsibility. For some people that feels like an anchor tied to their neck.

Hm, not at the speed of reading. Takes a bit of slowing down to get some. A complication is that a lot of these are from elementary school geometry books, so i tend to just remember the answer before getting a chance to look at it.

It can also have an opposite effect. For me, trying to make a tulpa 10 years ago ended up amplifying my loneliness, as well as placing it front-and-center, impossible to ignore. In retrospect that was a good thing, since it prompted me into

And that's another reason - gone are the days when code was written in machine language by people looking at bytes, and with it gone the only reason to keep these bytes in human-readable form. It's the same kind of thing as comput

Unfiltered internet is too annoying to use. Got a Pi-hole equivalent for whole network filtering, and uBlock Origin for the browser.

Seems wrong to me too, but for a different reason - i would expect a better school to not only attract smarter students, but to also be harder. So it should balance out to the same curve.

> video game consoles Huh? I used to make DIY games as late as early 00s, for GBA, Sega Dreamcast and PS1. Is that no longer possible with modern consoles?

Even more baffling is that i can't just install a program i wrote myself on a device i own without having to get it signed and have that signature renewed once a week. Like, what's the point of having a non-programmable computer?

I'm really confused by this. Don't debuggers come embedded into any IDE worth using? How could someone start programming this century without access to one?

A side question - does Oculus Quest need accounts and internet to use? I still can't get over Oculus Rift needing an account and an internet connection just to install drivers .

A text file? I tend to just write stuff grouped by category into a text file, with timestamp tags (today is 180717). Nothing i tried was more comfortable and portable than that. Standard search function of text editors take care of tags and

As someone who grew up next to a highway in a place with constantly-on TVs, i don't notice most kinds of noise, so i can't offer any advice on that front. What was a distraction in my case was internet browsing. This got solved by

Layers of patterns. The whole point of programming is to take something complex and break it down into simple arithmetics and logic that a computer can digest. So you build simple, isolated expressions that do one slightly more complex thin

I just can't imagine that random people who play what is essentially a glorified computer game would be reliable enough to show up at 4AM and get me to the airport safely. Or provide a reliable service in any other emergency or inconve
