In Australia Coca-Cola isn't allowed to import coca leaf extract for flavor, so it tastes very similar to one of the 3rd party knock off brands you'll find in the US. In Australia everyone drinks Pepsi because of this. Without t

If they really like building stuff like this they can get a career that does it, like Embedded Engineer or Firmware Engineer type roles. And if it's just a hobby that's great too. I'm not sure about the media part, is it bec

Caching and loading times mostly. I'm on old.reddit.com too and I use the mobile app (including the 3rd party ones back when they existed) for one primary reason: Two windows I can quickly switch back and forth on. On my phone I use R

If you want to get a bit more into significant numbers, Apple has the largest number of games for any platform and it has the largest number of gamers. They're mobile games, but on the M1 people can play them on their desktop. What I

Today the world's best players (not just chess) play against bots like AlphaZero. They can learn from their opponent. Today that is what it takes to be the best in the world. Even if most moves are normal, clearly AlphaZero and other

The current standard already accepts a comment line at the top, so in this case technologically it is easy, far easier than most problems. However, getting a consensus from a committee with bike shedding and all that fun (horrible) stuff i

I wouldn't mind an updated standard to CSV that has the type information in the first line with the column labels. I feel like this is all that CSV is really missing. As a format where you can easily see and interact with the data in

The same argument could be made for all other data formats. CSV is like the C of data formats. It's incredibly stable yet simple enough you can make your own variant if you need to.

You're not the only one thinking it. It seems like everyone today sells a cloud JupyterLab / Jupyter Notebook instance, from Google Colab on. What makes Jetbrain's iteration far better than any of the other competitors? So

After WW2 propaganda got a bit of a bad name for itself so it renamed itself public relations. Anything that talks about propaganda and not PR is out of date, but still valid.

It sounds like you guys could use a YMCA or community center catering to these types. My grandmother was lonely so I convinced her to go to a YMCA for exercise reasons and she made a bunch of friends.

This is a pretty big deal. One benefit it gives is it's much easier to write code evaluated at compile time. Most Rust libraries use generics, so if you use a library, compile time support isn't usually available. By adding sup

Does anyone have an alternative site they go to to buy household goods than amazon.com? Mostly kitchen supplies. Amazon often sells items lower quality than Walmart. It sucks and it feels like they have a monopoly. I'd rather shop a

Have you tried seeding something on bit torrent? That's a pretty easy way to tell.

It's also a lie. AT&T currently has a slow lane. Eg, I have fiber gigabit duplex, but for encrypted uploads to unknown servers, I get throttled to 10mbps. This restricts VPN traffic to many companies, including mine 10 miles awa

As a general rule of thumb there is at least a 2 week delay from getting COVID to death, so it's too early to say going off of a death count. Alternatively, looking up how many new cases of people vaccinated are getting COVID could be

Duels are legal in a lot of the US, so not really necessary.

Stock has a 2 day settlement period, so Robinhood could pay out, but it would have a 2 day delay before an ACH transfer would start when liquidating their account.

Cool! Did you consider using BERT instead of GPT-3? Any idea what the pros and cons with each approach are?

I'd consider stickies a decent jump. My past self never would have predicted the world has moved to a form of hieroglyphics of fuzzy animals to talk to each other.

Nice! Though, it is a bit unfair to take the most popular anime of the decade (by non-japanese watchers) and the highest rated anime of all time (by non-japanese watchers) as an example. I would be worried if there wasn't a quality f

FFVII was used as an example because the re-release is 3 games, and each game is considered long for today's standards.
