It's one sensor in both cases, and in the latter case you can do so much more: change the thresholds in an update, detect when the lid is in the process of closing, apply hysteresis (on a simple switch, there's an angle where vibr

You haven't identified a group, a motive, a psychological mechanism, described the method, or explained the intention in any depth. In other words, this is a cynical lament about how other people suck that's not descriptive enough

I think I could be burned by Fusion, recreate everything in OnShape, get burned by OnShape, then redo everything on a 3rd software and still be better off. FreeCAD is just that far behind.

Let me suggest "unhelpful". That's my word for when I don't want to spend time judging a thought/concept/emotion but do want to point out it's not taking me where I want to go in life.

NVDAs valuation is insane. At 30X revenue, they could double sales and reduce expenses to zero and they'd still need a story about future growth to justify the valuation. Consider this: Nvidia doesn't do the manufacturing, just th

With the exception of one brand I hadn't heard of (La Flor), every turmeric tested was either safe or in the "some concern" category. CR does a disservice by not sharing their test levels, but I'm willing to bet my own h

Steve, I know you're an authority on the language but you've dismissed the point being made here without engaging with it. Return is a statement in the minds of most programmers, but an expression in the language. That was a very

In what reality is giving politicians a fund to pick winners and losers in the economy going to prevent fascism? The tech sector in the "fascist hellscape" is paying its workers 3-4x what Europe is, and Europe is doubling down on

Often when we make guesses about other people, we reveal more about ourselves than the other person. "She said the man looked like the type who didn't treat women that well" Maybe she was right about this man, maybe she was w

Having a checkbox that says "opt out of usage statistics" doesn't protect anyone against malware. Downloading from trusted counterparties does.

It's one of those traps where the people who need the philosophy the least are most drawn to it. If you're really emotionally disconnected, stoicism has an intuitive appeal because it justifies what you already do. Although, there

The food companies accused of gouging are mostly publicly traded corporations that publish their finances...if profit margins shot up we would be able to see it, but everyone who does the analysis finds margins are mostly steady, slightly d

Totally unnecessary personal attack there. My take: if a law and it's enforcement almost universally lead to a worse outcome, the burden is on the lawmakers and enforcers to do better. You can yell about the websites all you want but b

I generally agree that we shouldn't armchair diagnose people, especially not for gossip's sake. But in this case Bryan is actively promoting a lifestyle which looks symptomatic of a disorder, so it's probably in the public in

I hate that the 4th power law is called a law. It's not a law of nature, it's a lazy curve fit. Think about this...if car does 'x' damage to the road, 2 cars does 2x damage. 2 cars welded together side by side (axle to a

Well for starters, Xi Jinping being the most powerful person on Earth is probably a bad sign for democracy. In their time as the dominant world power, the US hasn't always used their influence for good, but at least its a democracy wit

Hi author, I think you've written an excellent article, and also that you would be well served by ignoring the comments on it. Some people here feel you've called them entitled. I think you made a useful nuanced point about how en

I think one of the hardest problems in community moderation is finding good moderators. A moderator's job description involves outlining fault in other people's words and occasionally punishing them for it. That sort of thing is t
