There's also another unusual way - the Caisson lock. Its design is TERRIFYING. The boat is floated into a tube that get sealed at both ends and then (in the dark..) that tube is winched down into a completely flooded chamber until it (

Could something like [1] work? My understanding is it's a "fake tape" that has an SD slot and can be used in any player. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Funnytoday365-Telecontrol-Cassette-Pl...

I'd heard this advice plenty so felt ready to deploy it when I had a toddler. I have a toddler now, and have tried this approach a number of times. She just says "no" to the choices....

Typically you don't work straight till 23:00, you just might log back on later in the evening (perhaps after putting the kids to bed) to finish up something when you know you'll get quiet time, or to align with colleagues in the A

If pushed, I get my developers to give estimates in jumps of ~5x. Their options are 2 days 2 weeks 2 months 10 months Then I triple the estimates before sharing with the business. We don't estimate individual tickets/bugs at all,

Hi. I have wanted something like this for YEARS, but have never had the motivation to hack something together. A few questions: 1. Is the dev edition hardware different? 2. If not, it possible to upgrade to a dev edition later, ie. Is it ju

As someone who has worked in ecommerce for decades, Shopify is fantastic. It's not the cheapest, nor is it the most expensive. It's not as powerful as some systems, but it's not weak. It's not the easiest system to work

You might appreciate this: https://youtu.be/vsTTXYxydOE An engineer created a mixed reality pool table (YouTube channel "Stuff Made Here", all of his stuff is great).

Fundamentally, you can't use the same data to both generate and validate/disprove a hypothesis. Srgmenting and data dredging is fine provided you run a new test with fresh data to validate if there is a causal relationship in any

But presumably you're talking about a modern automatic car? What about a manual car, where you need more understanding of the mechanics, and will stall or roll back on a hill if you don't? Or a manual car without synchromesh, wher

Just set up another user on your phone and switch to that for work stuff. I have a whole seperate user area with work stuff installed, emails, teams etc. It's good as it means I can access work stuff when I need to but there's no

I'm a very happy customer of https://www.count.co It's a big canvas that multiple people can use at once, with SQL and Python, text annotations, comment threads, shapes and drawing etc. Connects into the regular cloud

MASSIVE count fan here. Been using it over a year and nothing else comes close for exploratory analysis. I've not felt as impressed by a tool or had it so quickly change how I work ever before.

Reminds me of the jaywalking law in the US, brought about by the auto industry. This law that sets the default of it being illegal to be in the road doesn't exist in much of the world. It's really up to the self driving cars to re

While they aren't the same thing now, they were up until 2011. The Horizon Post Office scandal began before in about 1999. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Services_Act_2011

There's a couple of options in this space for "timer gadgets" - smart physical objects that link to an app and use their physical orientation to count against a particular timer. https://timeflip.io/ https:&

I think the problem is that building out chat flows, sitting down with customer care and figuring this stuff out, iterating and improving the "if this then that" logic within a flow builder tool isn't particularly sexy work.

How much of it really requires AI though? I bet the majority, if not all of the support that the AI offers could have been done with some of the non-AI chat flow builders if a handful of smart people got together and actually worked the f

We have Tableau but I've never found it particularly useful, as most of what I do is very exploratory and Tableau seems more like a place to build final presentation of things that will just go to gather dust. I now use both of these t

I think the geolocation stuff is particularly concerning. Expert witnesses try to use it to prove which side of a road someone was on, or what route they took from point A to point B or something. My phone (Pixel 6) regularly gets my locati

At the time I remember that shocking me. Now, years later I think it's probably the right approach. Cut deeply ONCE and be done with it, these multiple rounds of cuts are totally demoralising and destroy goodwill, causing good people w

Sexism is apparently a big reason. Many of the early British computing experts were female. At some point it was "professionalised" and these skilled and experienced women were displaced by less skilled and less experienced men. H

I've taken to doubling my estimate and then stepping up to the next order of magnitude. Eg. 2 hours becomes 4 days. It allows for delivery, QA, bug fixes and documentation.
