I can confirm that it is :) Though I never had one (they are rare in France), it became sort of a pop culture icon. For me it was through the work of Rebecca Sugar on Adventure Tim…

I designed a pocket music instrument. I partnered with a company in China called Seeedstudio, they do the manufacturing, shipping, customer handling, etc. and I receive royalties o…

Looking for one-person, data driven, documentation webpages on DIY, repair, cooking, and other hobbies. Hard to precisely describe, so I'll go by example: - Sheldon Brown's Bicycle…

Counterpoint: Dice is terrible. Sure it makes sense for bigger artist that will sold out, but for most it is not necessary and it forces you : - To have a smartphone - To give out …

If the service you are proxying offers authentication based on token within cookies, does that mean that you will have access to tokens hosted on the client side? Should you disclo…

Kind of reminded me of the traditional wisdom that you should select chains and sprocket to avoid patterned wear. I don't know if there is an effect (especially with bikes and thei…

A recent ruling (namely the Schrems II one) makes it very complicated to host and process data in countries that we used to consider as having "equivalent" privacy protection. The …

It's usually not a good idea to tune a guitar as you described. Basically a guitar has to use "temperate tuning" because it has frets, so you can't be absolutely in tune everywhere…

As a sibling comment said, the notion is "Personal Data". It is very wide and email address definitely fall within it. Also note IP is personal data, and an identifier like a UUID …

For anyone wondering if Manna was related to the Mana found in a lot of fantasy game (most notably Magic! The Gathering), it is not, I just looked it up. Mana is a Melanesian word …

I'd say in that case, the regulation was resilient enough to bring the case to fruition (although this is an argument that facebook will use to defend itself). Hopefully this will …

One important thing to note is that the DPC (Irish DPA) did not want to fine WhatsApp and only did so after being forced by other DPAs through the arbitration process. You can cons…

I learned about that in the Paul Franklin online course (expensive, but worth the money if you are unable to find a personnal teacher, yay europe). I don't have absolute pitch (and…

Same experience here with a pedal steel. That's why I am now pushing my bandmates to adopt the Nashville Notation System which only deals in relative position of chords in the scal…

It's a demanding (through somehow rewarding I guess) job, but I like the fact that this is done by those guys and not a faceless algorithm. You can at least talk to them while they…

I read that it was because Europeans lived in wider settlement so they were more exposed to serious pathogens and had the opportunity to develop immunity. When they met society tha…

The other way around is more plausible to me: the way we reconstructed dinosaurs was influenced by the corpus of representations we developed with dragons.

That's why we use the term "Climate Change". A freak heat wave and a freak blizzard both show that climate is changing, and not for the best. Two sides of the same coin, we're fuck…

Same anecdotal experience here. Average looking man, took the time to fill a profile, maybe one right swipe a day, 50% match, two real-life meeting and one turned into a relationsh…

Yes! An incredible "hippie player" (the derogatory term used by classical steelers for players that took the pedal steel outside of the classic country style). He really has a very…

I was a bit confused at first since in French, the word "Draisienne" is used for the dandy horse itself. But apparently Draisine is also in use in French (first time I heard about …

I might be missing something, but wasn't it part of the plan? Of course the goal was to offload the actual interpretation of the FLoC id to third-parties, as FLoC id themselves do …
