Kinda wish there were more details on this page to understand or interpret what the author is talking about or compared it to. I have a Canon 9000F (consumer grade) that is getting very old now and often difficult to get running when I pull

As I'm WFH next to my Synology and look down at my ESD bag-wrapped spare WD Red, I can't help but be reminded of Peter Graves glancing down at his tray with a perfectly cleaned fishbone in "Airplane!"

There is more information on the method from this documentary Doing Time, Doing Vipassana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkxSyv5R1sg It documents the use of Vipassana as a reform measure at a harsh prison in India and tra

It's not a horrible place to work. I've worked at Microsoft and work for Amazon now. It's unavoidable that with a company the size of Amazon there will be some (maybe a lot) of bad areas to work and it's obvious that d

KIRO TV in Seattle did a small test of impairment on a closed course with participants using varying amounts of marijuana a few years ago around the time Washington voters were choosing to legalize pot and found similar results: http:&#x2F

This post by Bunnie Huang, on the manufacturing process observed at a plant in China, is relevant enough to mention here: http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=4364

I don't know if it's statistically valid, but I've used methods similarly based on this to do calculations like you're talking for a role similar to what you described. There are more subtleties that it might be importan

You shouldn't let that scare you away. There's a good article from Joel on Software about how software is priced. It might be this (it's long enough and old enough it might be right): http://www.joelonsoftware.co

Call me a nitpicker and you'd be right, but the screenshots in this[1] and other ads[2] where they showcase this watch for GPS navigation while on a bike (or motorcycle) where the watch is not doing a 90 degree rotation on the conten

Yeah, but this isn't to produce a drinkable brew. It's not even a super different projection from the brew time when I've homebrewed (which has been a while but was probably closer to 6 hours for me to get it into the primary

He wasn't laid off - he was fired. This is the first point the CEO makes and it's an important distinction that the poster seemed to not own up to at all. Not knowing the difference between being fired and being laid off is bad

Right. It's a bit disappointing in the context of a page with the lead-in "What if every soldier could run a four-minute mile?" but I trust this research is still a work in progress and adding an 11lb weight + helmet and tak

Many thanks - that's exactly the discussion I was looking for :)

Apologies if this seems like an inappropriate fork, but the author uses a convention in the introductory paragraph that I find jarring, at best, and I wonder if anyone knows what it's called? It's this (emphasis added): "...

Paul Ford is a magician and offers terrific perspective on subtle aspects of what is typically our American culture. If you're looking for him to beat you over the head with THE POINT about what he insists you're suppose to think

EDIT: Sorry, I realize this doesn't really directly respond to "IDE replacement" - honestly I don't write much code any more so some of the below doesn't apply to that. When I wrote code, the main benefit of emacs

I'm not thrilled about this company or my order - fair warning below for others who ordered a lens from them. tl;dr - the site may have autogenerated an account for you with a weak password if you told it to check out as guest. First -

Right. His first example puts a scale factor on a 2400x700px image to make it "not too big" for smaller screens. That's responsive design the same way that the NES emulator on my old WinCE phone in 2003 (which had a touch d

"biased" how? That simply means that for the more recent data set, the owners bothered to decypher a small set of user agents (those represented in the graph - latest verions of dominant browsers), everything else is marked &quot

I dislike that statement, too, but for different reasons. The 30,000x larger sample in the aggregate means the calculated fire rate for non-Tesla cars is probably a more reliable number. Maybe those 100M Tesla miles were "lucky"?

Hunch: it's got to do with the fact that anyone can upvote, not anyone can downvote, and there's a large enough audience that thinks every topic posted is fodder for the surveillance discussion (which isn't a stretch) and thi

A few months ago a friend told me he felt hn had jumped the shark. This frontpage discussion about a blog post about a reddit thread pretty much settles any debate there was to be had on that topic!

Many, many people are and do it all the time right now, every day. There was a video where Scott Jurek talked candidly about Dean a while ago - it was great. The site took it down (or the site is down?) but in a nutshell, Jurek was very

I doubt this is the internal audit of the outage event. At least I hope it isn't, but I could be wrong. The template from Google isn't super uncommon and I bet most organizations that really want to drill in and understand root

Tangent from the pet thing, but ... personally and admittedly, I get quite hoity toity about this and don't think I'm spouting any gospel. My $0.02 and observations around this though are: - No one (ok, one exception) I know who trains hea

I'm not thrilled about that at all, either. My dog is from a shelter (it was a no-kill shelter but I looked at kill shelters, too). Basically, I think more people need to take care of their pets and more people need to help sterilize pets

Yeah - also take some comfort in the fact that though this sounds amazing (and probably is), it's clearly illustrating the fact that it's easier to have an idea, get it kind of working, and make a big announcement about it than it is to ove
