Well the "native syllabary" is derived from Chinese characters, it's not something that was there and then Chinese characters were shoehorned in later. I think at some early point most Japanese learners (that don't alrea

As I said getting a diagnosis varies by region and doctor. A lot. It's practically impossible in some countries. And also depending on region or personal circumstances, it may not be easy to find another doctor or psychiatrist. Also no

One interesting thing about riding a bike is that to turn right, you must initially turn the handlebars to the left (called countersteering). This is subconscious, not explicitly taught and virtually everyone disbelieves this at first when

I think I get your point. It's cruel to require Kafkaesque testing and that just makes it not worth it try. But too simple of a test can also misdiagnose. The chance to be diagnosed with an appropriate gate varies greatly based on wher

I want to add that the comment is also funny to me because it and the blog post are very relatable to me. I don't mean to dismiss it at all. It's really important to get a good diagnosis for anything like this and not dismiss it o

I have a question (and please take it in jest)! In between buying a telescope, seeking out an opinion on ADHD, accidentally hacking an online test, and then blogging about it, how many things on your todo list(s) did you not do?

This comment is so funny to me, because I imagine you being distracted to make the comment before making it to the end where the psych did indeed review the new results. Well I only know that because I skipped to the end. Then, while scroll

I agree, today it's like having one of the latest Mac Studios, one older Mac Studio and a couple of MacBooks. Or even just one maxed-out Mac Studio. Enviable but credible.

I find it weird that in specific cases it's such a huge effect yet most of the time I can't notice it. Once when I got a new prescription I googled why the X in the red circle icon for closing a window is so off-centered, but it&#

Me too, I always have a dongle and an ethernet cable just in case but this removes the need for a cable (I always have 2+ usb-c cables). I've also just found something similar for HDMI, also removing the need to carry an HDMI cable. Tr

Inductance coils (usually inside the RJ45 jack itself) are what provides isolation. They are made from very thin wires so if something goes wrong this is the first and hopefully only thing that will break. If you apply enough voltage of cou

What a clever idea. I carry an ethernet dongle but this one is just the male end and a female usb-c port, meaning your existing usb-c cable is useful and you don't need to carry an ethernet cable.

Depends on the device, in principle if both have thunderbolt and you use a thunderbolt cable it should work. I've done it between 2 macbooks many times.

Ethernet is electrically isolated at every port (unless you really go out of your way in to design it otherwise in an internal design). Your advice is still correct but it's more about lightning or something gone wrong, it's not a

I've been doing this for years between MacBooks with a thunderbolt 4 cable. It's very fast and unlike 10Gbps ethernet, doesn't require a bulky, power-hungry[1] adapter. MacOS also will use thunderbolt automatically for Migra

Yeah it's been about 20 years since there was a risk this didn't work.

In Europe a class 1 ebike can't have a throttle and assist must be limited to 25km/h (it's 32km/h in the US). They can be faster and have a throttle, but then they are more like scooters in terms of licensing and insuran

A similar law in the US exists to prevent non-food being put inside food. It's why kinder surprise is banned in the US. It's not because Americans are "too stupid" to avoid choking, it's because the rule already exi

I was surprised to see a real reference because I thought the 100% beef thing was a 100% myth. But that article confirms in several places that independent testing finds no fillers at all, and what is left is just "Plaintiffs allege th

Quake came out just before I started high school and I played it a lot in those three years. I remember playing quake 1 in the LAN in university around 2002 because it was easy to share the 50MB of portable files. Things moved so fast back

It's a great store. It's similar to Ikea in that you can go in without doing any research or shopping around and be reasonably sure that whatever you buy from one of their own brands, at any price point, is better quality than the

If you have a bike or something, staff will scan its barcode for you. They generally see you coming and you don't have to wait.

Resistor cost is irrelevant. It's way more likely the device was updated from micro-usb to usb-c by the most junior person and it was missed. Then, any change carries some cost so that design is not changed later.

5 years ago it was really hard to find usb-c shaver. I could only find cheap ones; I got an Enchen boost for about $10 and it has served me well.

I think your suggestion and also the author's are too big for my taste. I carry a US-style 45W GaN charger, a couple of usb-c cables, and an EU adapter (which, off the record, also works for UK outlets so it covers anywhere I normally

Exactly. Even for this small board, the IC has 0.65mm spacing of the LGA pads. It would be pretty difficult to assemble it without solder mask. Almost everyone who has the experience of etching a board, or even using a router to automate ma

Misumi sells it, and they have an online tool to configure almost anything you want in 3D, including brackets of your choice, fasteners and accessories (like panels, hinges and handles). Then, you can order all of the parts to make your cre
