My Fenix 7 has ~12 days of life, while using it every day for fitness tracking, maps, the occasional LED flashlight, etc. It also is at least IME much more of a beast than an (admittedly older gen) Ultra. I charge before I leave, then spend

I switched from Apple Watch to a Garmin Fenix 7, for much longer battery life (advertised as ~14 days, in practice 10-12), durability (they're very tough), better biometrics, and stuff like built-in maps/GPS (I camp/hike&#x2F

one thing to note (I didn't see it in the article or the comments as of this moment) but a thing that happened a lot with eg LL Bean was, people were buying old Bean stuff from yard sales and so on, then returning it for a new one, und

Sad to not see "dart" in there, I assumed from Letterkenny that it was a regular Canadianism. Perhaps it's too new?

the point is not that firefox is "not doing much worse than chromium browsers". the point is that they were founded upon principles of not doing that

I think for the average user it's more of a remnant of NeXTStep. It is galling that Little Snitch doesn't let you use a supported feature; but I think Apple doesn't really care about ~/Applications any more, since they &

on Sequoia, it's already separated. Apps shipped as part of the OS live in /System/Applications, and stuff you install (however you do it) are in /Applications.

Foamed glass gravel was invented in the early 20th century, by the Soviets no less, and started being used more in the 80s. It is a "boring" technology. (Source: https://www.glavel.com/foam-glass-aggregate-guide&#x

my head canon is that in the Dune universe, their response to the Butlerian Jihad was to develop better and better mechanical computers; specifically, via miniaturization, down to the nanometer level. It doesn't quite work for everythi

It is a "cultural fit" test, a cousin of "how many golf balls can you put in a manhole cover" or whatever. The question aims to figure out if you're going to take on certain tasks, and how you would take them on; es

Only thing I can't hide yet is the "sign in" in the upper-right.

Now see, I'm the opposite. I would like to pay a reasonable fee to drive a silver-and-oaken stake through the heart of the collab features. I will pay real money to just make it all go away. As others have said, I work in an environmen

According to Script Debugger, hardly the massive powerhouse that may end humanity like GPT-4, it's the "bounds" property of a window, specifically the 3rd element.

From what I've seen so far, the best writers (and, I suppose, the best _editors_) tend to get the best results from ChatGPT. I have seen some examples of people whose writing I already liked drive it in ways I never imagined; but like

One of the Xeelee Sequence novels deals with this problem specifically: a pilot in an FTL space fighter uses multiple hops to defeat an enemy, and ends up back before he left. It's a Xeelee Sequence book, grimdark of grimdark, so hilar

One of the last things I remember about Atom was that by the time they’d figured out all the stuff they needed to fix, VSCode had come in and stolen all the eyeballs, so to speak. So they have a good roadmap, they just need to do the implem

If we're collecting scifi references to water planets, "Neptune's Brood" by Charlie Stross features a very large water world, and the problems of certain minerals (like uranium) dissolved in the oceans. Also the fun thin

So do you only work for companies who have 100% open source and whose business model or product is a public benefit? Eg, "I value my freedom" is a perfectly acceptable position, until Mark Zuckerberg starts signing your checks, yo

It's really nice having the National Radio Quiet Zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Radio_Q... in very close driving distance. Camping trips are always very, very disconnected.

Those actually created big parts of the SW EU! Stuff that was written for those games got authorized into canon. Star Wars also produced a ton of new material for its EU. It was a living universe, ripe for gaming. Blade Runner is 2 movies.

My annoyance with this is, you can pretty much run a "Blade Runner" TTRPG with any suitable system. You barely need to do any prep: we know there's guns, space ships, FTL, extremely good computers, etc. Thats like half the

Neuromancer had the "Turing police" monitoring AIs. Watts Blindsight universe has the "Cloudkillers", who turn off AI that gets too smart. It's becoming a more common trope in sci-fi.

Assuming you mean the artist with albums titled "Trap Lord 2" and "Life Is Fair 4 Me II", yes, they are.

since all their records are in Apple Music, I think the barcode restriction is not "any object that resembles a barcode" but actual product barcodes. At least one hopes.

It's not surprising at all since Apple was foundational in the specs: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4791
