I'm in the market for a tablet upgrade because my Galaxy S3 Tab is feeling quite laggy and is years out of support. I was excited to give the iPad Air a shot as I've heard so many good things about about the M1 chip. But the locke

Flash Boys by Michael Lewis was a good read, IMHO.

I think your second comment is the explanation for your first. There are certainly cheaper boards available, but the form factor of the Uno allows for use with a whole host of hats and shields, and releasing an updated board with more power

I was surprised to hear that he uses GitHub Copilot. I'd assumed that with his understanding of the language that it would be easier/faster to just type what he wanted, but he said that 1) he's not a very good typist and so i

Thank you. I also love the verb "inmiced" given how often that's relevant for studies that are posted here.

Oh cool, I didn't know they had this feature. I wish they had feedly integration, too.

Could you share your settings.json file? I'd be very interested in your setup.

I had similar thoughts and can recommend this video that helped me understand why the sharps/flats exist. It goes through a brief history of western music before harmonization was a thing, and then needing to introduce new notes in ord

Agreed. I came to the comments looking for the acronym so I'll add it here. CBDC: Central Bank Digital Currency

Given the geometries of modern gerrymandered borders, maybe it's not so bad to rely on borders drawn a long time ago.

I understand that giving a percentage of the company to investors is the way modern venture capital works, but attempting to create a global currency and then giving 10% to a handful of investors seems like a bit too much centralization rig

An office I worked in had a microwave that had only a single dial. The dial had time increments on a pseudo-logarithmic scale from 10 seconds up to tens of minutes. Turn clockwise to turn on, turn counterclockwise to turn off/clear. It

I really wish the Raspberry Pi form factor hadn't become the de facto form factor for these kind of devices. I much prefer the Beaglebone layout with power, video, and networking on one side and USB on the opposite,

I've read (and enjoyed) "Winners Take All" but I'm still having trouble understanding your argument. Could you explain what you mean by the "government-controlled economic environment" and how giving to chariti

A related book that I found very helpful is Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. It introduced to me the idea of "self-compassion" which has been much more beneficial to me than self-esteem, and has also discusses meditation as a way

Wow, you're right, I guess that kind of kills my theory. I knew that flu was which explained why there's a new vaccine every year and it's often not effective against the current strain. But I had thought that polio and mea

My understanding is that we're unable to created effective vaccines against RNA viruses as RNA replication doesn't have the built-in "checksum" mechanism that DNA has. When DNA replicates, because the two strands of the

This seems to be a rather short-sighted view of the 2008 financial crisis. Even conceding that the bailout of the too-big-to-fail banks was a good thing and saved the economy, and that this was possible only because of the centralization t

This isn't exactly the Bitcoin community per se, but Ethereum is working on a proof-of-stake algorithm to replace proof-of-work. This is a much less energy intensive intensive algorithm, and while I'm a bit skeptical that it&#x27

The "vision" of low fees isn't really distinct to either chain. Low fees are due to a low amount of traffic on the network and blocks that are not full. Bitcoin Cash certainly scales better than BTC with 8x block sizes, but

While I'd agree that Ethereum was not created with an intent of scammyness, I wouldn't single it out as an outlier for good behavior. The dream of Ethereum was "code as law," yet key players have demonstrated the abilit
