There's also another unusual way - the Caisson lock. Its design is TERRIFYING. The boat is floated into a tube that get sealed at both ends and then (in the dark..) that tube is wi…

Could something like [1] work? My understanding is it's a "fake tape" that has an SD slot and can be used in any player. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Funnytoday365-Telecontrol-Casset…

I'd heard this advice plenty so felt ready to deploy it when I had a toddler. I have a toddler now, and have tried this approach a number of times. She just says "no" to the choice…

Typically you don't work straight till 23:00, you just might log back on later in the evening (perhaps after putting the kids to bed) to finish up something when you know you'll ge…

I think Tana can do this with the "supertags" feature. https://tana.inc/docs/supertags

If pushed, I get my developers to give estimates in jumps of ~5x. Their options are 2 days 2 weeks 2 months 10 months Then I triple the estimates before sharing with the business. …

Hi. I have wanted something like this for YEARS, but have never had the motivation to hack something together. A few questions: 1. Is the dev edition hardware different? 2. If not,…

As someone who has worked in ecommerce for decades, Shopify is fantastic. It's not the cheapest, nor is it the most expensive. It's not as powerful as some systems, but it's not we…

You might appreciate this: https://youtu.be/vsTTXYxydOE An engineer created a mixed reality pool table (YouTube channel "Stuff Made Here", all of his stuff is great).

Fundamentally, you can't use the same data to both generate and validate/disprove a hypothesis. Srgmenting and data dredging is fine provided you run a new test with fresh data to …

But presumably you're talking about a modern automatic car? What about a manual car, where you need more understanding of the mechanics, and will stall or roll back on a hill if yo…

Just set up another user on your phone and switch to that for work stuff. I have a whole seperate user area with work stuff installed, emails, teams etc. It's good as it means I ca…

I'm a very happy customer of https://www.count.co It's a big canvas that multiple people can use at once, with SQL and Python, text annotations, comment threads, shapes and drawing…

MASSIVE count fan here. Been using it over a year and nothing else comes close for exploratory analysis. I've not felt as impressed by a tool or had it so quickly change how I work…

Reminds me of the jaywalking law in the US, brought about by the auto industry. This law that sets the default of it being illegal to be in the road doesn't exist in much of the wo…

>For the Brits who have previously heard of this scandal, did you know about it prior to January of this year? Yes, I've been aware of it for about 10+ years, it's been covered on-…

While they aren't the same thing now, they were up until 2011. The Horizon Post Office scandal began before in about 1999. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Services_Act_2011

There's a couple of options in this space for "timer gadgets" - smart physical objects that link to an app and use their physical orientation to count against a particular timer. h…

I think the problem is that building out chat flows, sitting down with customer care and figuring this stuff out, iterating and improving the "if this then that" logic within a flo…

How much of it really requires AI though? I bet the majority, if not all of the support that the AI offers could have been done with some of the non-AI chat flow builders if a hand…

We have Tableau but I've never found it particularly useful, as most of what I do is very exploratory and Tableau seems more like a place to build final presentation of things that…

I think the geolocation stuff is particularly concerning. Expert witnesses try to use it to prove which side of a road someone was on, or what route they took from point A to point…

I use Owl so that I can use Thunderbird for my work emails, it's paid but it's cheap, I think it's about $10 per year. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/owl-f.…

At the time I remember that shocking me. Now, years later I think it's probably the right approach. Cut deeply ONCE and be done with it, these multiple rounds of cuts are totally d…

Sexism is apparently a big reason. Many of the early British computing experts were female. At some point it was "professionalised" and these skilled and experienced women were dis…
