You're right! I brought BPPV was just all benign cases of vertigo regardless of origin but the article does mention tiny crystals, good catch!

Another one I'm not sure how to fully explain: closing the nose without touching it. I can fully block smells or breathing by doing something that feels like inflating a zone between the top of the mouth and the nose. When speaking it

Awesome site! I didn't find canaliths on it so I might submit it to you eventually: roughly every winter I get vertigo when lying down, and apparently there is no "fix" except to "reposition my canaliths"[1]. It all

Tidal is the last streaming service I use, split between that and a jellyfin+arrs setup coupled with buying music from artists directly. Fuck Spotify and their rotten leadership. Was amongst the early adopters (2009). I'm sure they won

That earring story, as some commenters pointed out, is an alternate version of Greg Egan's short story "learning to be me", now easily found in one of his short story compilations. If you haven't yet read Axiomatic as we

People's shortening attention span. Must retain. Explanation still required, therefore statement must concisely outline product. Feature retains attention. Simple outtro. Attention retained. It is not a bug, it is a feature.

Powershell is a great scripting language, but when you want to massively delete stuff I strongly suggest you use "robocopy /MIR" with an empty folder as source to be "mirrored". Much faster, better multithreaded per

I'll vouch for this. I have a USB drive set up with Ventoy, which has the ability to install its TPM certs when booting from USB. It has a couple Linux ISOs and one Win11. It also has a Ventoy config tying that ISO to an autounattended

Like traces of a younger Internet, where placeholders didn't have to matter and being uptight about this stuff was considered annoying by many colleagues. It also feels like it could be reused across a bunch of languages and words. Sup

Require interactivity (ask for confirmation on cat). Output success error codes in unexpected range (see: robocopy). Use special characters to try TUI things but leave the buffer in weird states. Have many input params, and default to the m

Now I'm considering making a Matt Parker pie: a spherical pie made from a normal pie + calling it close enough in 2 out of 3 dimensions.

The option exists on Samsung phones but is greyed out and crashes if you force it via adb. It is also marked as experimental.

Titanfall 2 is a fantastic game with perhaps the best single player FPS campaign for fast FPS games, and a skill ceiling that's incredibly high in multiplayer which is still alive to this day. Did you mean to say "terrific" i

I'm not sure if I've angered you or if you're agreeing with me that something no-bullshit like Dygma and their software is much more welcoming than the status quo (even though purists will say "but it isn't QMK or Z

If that's any help I personally found this attitude with a company called Dygma, specifically with their Dygma Defy keyboard. They have tons of Youtube videos answering basically every question one could have, and the keyboard is subst

I work at a company that invented an internal syntax to compile into C++ code, that still relies on c-shell and conventions taken when OS/2 was in use there, and with a web of Jenkins instances and homemade wrappers and DBs to build th

You could also try the particle for belonging の which is a bit like " 's " in English. Should appear in hiragana (as a standalone syllable) frequently since it is a particle much like the first one they suggested (ha for the

Your use case is just fine because you're barely actually using Jenkins. I can give you a few examples of where it falls short: - security: there are constant CVEs about anything and everything in Jenkins - upgrade paths: if your compa

We think that everything is made of things but we forget that everything is mostly made of nothing, and it's the gaps between things that make it all be. See also: atomic size vs distance between atoms in any structure, on perceptual l

Two things that would deserve clarification (although outside of the scope of the research here) are: (1) When is it time to leave? At what threshold? Is it around an arm's length of free space between people? And (2) Where to go? Stra

This seems very similar to yesterday's article about North Korea running similar shenanigans via LinkedIn[0]. Probably good to make it the norm to run these things in a VM. I doubt this requires running on a completely different host y
