I'd say good music is objective. Whether it's hard to play, uses complex polyrhythms etc. which most listeners aren't even aware of - and those people tend to think good music is subjective as they can't perceive the qua

Never worked for me, I think if you're physically fit, being physically tired has no correlation on sleep. Since 12y/o I've struggled to sleep before 1-2am, and since 14y/o I've exercised a frankly ridiculous amount

The free version doesn't allow GPU accelerated playback or editing or rendering which is a must for any serious user / business. They get people in the door with a really powerful free editing software, and once you've invest

Half my family now owns the small desktop sized sub-£200 Kyocera laser printers. It was honestly revolutionary the first few times I was able to connect to their WiFi, hit add printer on my phone or laptop, press print, and it just worked

No validation, anddd this point from the article stood out to me: --- The programming style is very imperative. Furthermore, the description sounds like the procedure is working directly on the textual representation of the flight plan, rat

Typewalk Mono 1915 according to the FontSquirrel font identifier Looks pretty similar to me, and being a monospaced font makes sense as it's being used by a dev.

According to that page, BAE systems et al were using kevlar soaked in a solution of polyethylene glycol and silica nanoparticles. All readily available online, if you can afford something like $200 per 2ml of silica nanoparticles. It would

Yeah, personally I can't see what Meta actually deliver with 86,000 employees. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp have barely changed in years, they even all still have most of the same bugs I experienced about 5 years and 3 phones ago.

This is the first non-paywalled version though thankfully, out of 3 submissions of this article that have reached the front page. I had to Google the story the first time I saw it earlier today.

Not to support Windows, but what are you doing that requires restarts multiple times per day? I leave my personal Windows 10 desktop running for about a month at a time so I don't have to reopen 5 different windows and arrange them acr

My university course uses Maxima for optimization modules and essentially none of the examples from the textbook work as they should. Official documentation is sparse and often unhelpful too. The functions output Lisp stacktraces if you do

They teach Motorsport marshals in the UK to always keep the car that has come off-track between yourself and live traffic, and never turn your back to the track. Whatever caused the accident is just as likely to cause another car to go in,

I will probably get downvoted for this (unless, as I expect, the vast majority are in the same boat), but my answer is: nothing. I don't mean this to discredit people who actually run home servers, just sharing my own experience. I hav

In all the language comparisons I've found over the years, Python consistently comes out slightly slower, for example: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks Bearing in mind these are probably not even using YJIT, w

Unfortunately I'm with the other guy. We have a Nest Mini in every room, and a Hub Max (only paid for 2, another 2 were free with Spotify and the Hub Max was an Instagram giveaway win). We have to whisper to the Hub Max in the kitchen,

Doesn't this break wiretapping laws (depending on the user's geographic location) and possibly GDPR/NDAs(if left on while at work)? Ethically most people probably wouldn't be happy to find out that you recorded a convers

You also can't see any replies for the tweets that are still up (one of the three in the screenshot was deleted) so there's no context. I guess Twitter has some data retention policy going on for 9yr old tweets? Or they never actu

I agree that moderate amounts of exercise are not helpful in losing weight at all. I fluctuate all year between 73kg and 80kg (with a brief stint at 84kg the other year while I wasn't doing any cardio for 6mo and eating way too much ta

I'd imagine it's entirely due to the economic downturn, as most high growth tech companies have slashed hiring this year.

Yeah for this exact reason I despise torx. The last couple of cars I've owned have tonnes of torx screws, and as they rust and accumulate road grime over the years they change size. You will only be able to fit a T20 into an arch liner
