I’m piecing together through their website, online articles, etc. that the photographer shoots a lot of film. So perhaps other than a deliberate stylistic choice, the magazine used whatever photo made sense for that block of text. In any ca

There is at least one semiconductor test platform which uses Excel workbooks as the programming interface. Automotive chips going in to new vehicles today are being tested for functionality using Office 2003 and VBA

The article doesn’t mention lyrics, which has to be one of the biggest contributions a singer provides to a song. Being able to emote through language in addition to music may as well double the effect a song may have on people.

I bought a newer K&E probably 10 years ago. I brought it to college and even took it as a calculator backup to a few exams. It’s still on my desk in the office. But I find it mostly stays on my desk. Operating a slide rule requires inte

This paragraph summarized the piece fairly well. It describes the ideology that the author thinks central bankers have: > The answer may be down to the grip of an economic ideology espoused by tenured Harvard Professors like Larry Summer

I used ledger for 2019–2020 and by the end of it I had scripts to pull just about everything automatically, whether via OFX, Plaid, CSV, or PDF. It became a drag when I realized that I’m starting a new job, I’m opening new accounts, &c.

Because of that article I bought a hot water bottle on Amazon. I’ve had it for about a month now. It’s very pleasing to use to heat a bed in a way that an electric blanket isn’t: it is much faster at warming, gives you heat in exactly the p

Being a plan 9 nerd, I originally found 9ime [1] when I wanted a compose key in windows. It serves the same purpose and has the same default compose key of right-Alt. I’ve yet to be frustrated by it enough to switch to wincompose (but the U

From my previous research on whole-house fans, they are a wonderful device to have so long as you live in a place where the nights are cool, and most importantly, low-humidity . Unfortunately where I live and it’s 80+% RH at night, a whole

This news surprises me, as I was just preparing a route in the (iPhone) app. Seems like it hasn’t been updated for me yet. I haven’t used maps.me much, but generally it’s been a good experience. Other than being told multiple times to make

I’ve used the similar Fluke 80K-40 a number of times up to 20 kVrms. The arcing is always concerning, but it’s surprising how safe it feels to hold.

They mean that all the pattern day trading rules apply to options just the same as stocks, i.e. you cannot be an options day trader with less than 25k in the account.

This appears to be an attempt to make a Wikipedia using the semantic data from Wikidata. The semantic web ideas of Tim Berners-Lee may be catching on.

This is an excellent idea, though perhaps too much like crowdfunding. There’s an early bird bonus that bumps your ROC—for instance, helping float a parrot store through COVID as one of the first X dollars can push me from 30% to 50% returns

I do similar reliability work for power electronics (first job after BSEE). I wouldn’t have expected lifetimes at the working stress to be a concern, but I had not fully appreciated how large the E-fields were getting in these devices (abou

Worse is Better versus The Right Thing strikes again. I find that I can extend Pandoc’s markdown to do most of anything I’d want. Could RST or AsciiDoc do it better? Maybe. I haven’t tried. But markdown can do 80% of what I need right out o

Off-topic: I really enjoy seeing online articles before 2010 or so that have modern stylesheets. It shows that writing is timeless, and the power of separating presentation and content.

Good article, interesting material to think over. I don’t think the author’s patronizing attitude towards historical theories is helping his thesis much. He starts off proposing that chemistry in 50 years will be way ahead of chemistry toda

Oh yes of course! Actually, multipart/mixed really seems like it should be the way that all clients do things, and that quoting at the bottom is an abuse of the quote button.

Say someone gets added to an email thread some time after it got started—is there an easier way to get them all of the emails in the thread than having all of the emails as part of the one they were sent?

From [0], the types of cancer they can screen make up at least 81.4% of new cancer diagnoses, which means that with their 99.4% true positive rate, this test should be able to correctly identify ~80% of new cancer incidences. If I'm do

The only issue I had setting up a mail server was sending mail to servers using some service which blocks my domain. Places like my university and my work using Proofpoint, for example, seem to only allow mail from large, easily verifiable
