Agree the correct abbreviation is min. Nitpick: could be wrong but I don’t think minutes is an SI derived unit.

I think most people want computers to be predictable and repeatable _at a level that makes sense to them_. That's going to look different for non-programmers. Having worked helping "average" users, my perception is that there

In my recollection, Firefox used to ask you which profile you wanted to use on launch. I don't think I've seen that in years.

I find myself writing a very simple style of python that avoids list comprehensions and so on when working in a shared code base. For a language where there is supposed to be only one way to do things, there are an awful lot of ways to do t

The WHO is organizing some evacuations internationally > the World Health Organization supported the transfer of 32 children and six adults to Italy, Belgium and Turkey, but more than 14,800 patients are still waiting. https:/&#x2F

Dang, this would suck. I really like Kodak film, like Portra 400 and Ektar 100. Writing’s been on the wall for quite a while though. I’m not surprised.

I’m guessing Amazon could have info on their side about your eero. Without knowing more about the router’s cloud functionality it’s hard to say what exactly they would have.

I guess it could be trained to respond to those sort of queries by offering to compile a list of some finite number of web pages. Then it could be prompted to visit them and do something (check images, say). Maybe that would result in limit

A lot of the moralizing pressure groups are also against sexual content on TV (at least historically they have been). One of the slippery slopes here would be that initially they go after smaller players and then work their way up. Would th

Definitely seems like the sort of thing that MKUltra would have looked at. Those folks were big into ideas like creating specific mental states in people.

OK, so the method given for artificial coloring on that page. I'm curious if that works for lead chromate. It seems so simple that it must have been tried in this case? Regardless I'll file it away to at least try on stuff to avoi

I'm curious about getting a personal XRF device for this reason. They don't look "that" expensive, I found some for $5k to $10k on Alibaba. Is it overkill? Probably yes. Am I overly paranoid about my health and would als

I’m reminded of Feynman’s answer on explaining magnetism. In other words, ICP were not so far off base when they asked “magnets, how do they work?”

I mean, regardless of any argument about Whatsapp, shouldn't installing any app on a government phone that's not allowed be impossible? Sheesh. This shouldn't even be a discussion in the first place.

Agreed. I used tiling WMs for a long while (ion3, XMonad) and it was such a productivity boost. Then I was forced to use a Mac for work, so I was using a floating WM again. On my personal machine, ion3 went away and I never fully got around

NB that Whoop did pull a fast one on users. People signed up with the promise they wouldn’t have to pay for hardware upgrades. Whoop recently dropped that right before releasing their first hardware upgrade.
