WISH: Don't pad the hours with zero when using the 12-hour time format, e.g. '7:15:03 AM' instead of '07:15:03 AM'. The padding with zero is used in the 24-hour format, e.g. '07:15…

I remember connecting a VHS video camera directly to a cathode-ray tube (CRT) teve to produce funky patterns back in the 80's. You did it in a pitch dark room, aimed the camera tow…

That type of synesthesia is referred to as Number Forms ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_form ). I read a long time ago that it's quite common, like 1 in 7 people got it. Som…

FWIW, the 'AVX' CPU feature is part of the x86-64-v3 level of the x86-64 microarchitecture standard [0]. There are chips produced in 2015 that are only supporting x86-64-v2 [0]. Al…

Yes, the amount of CO2 each person produces is noticable, especially in such a small room. If possible, keeping a bedroom window a bit open makes a noticable difference. Avoid clos…

It's been many months since I tried, but I think you have to redo that each time you restart Firefox , i.e. contrary to Chrome, you cannot make it persistent.

The asymmetry stems from the days where we connected through the phone lines, which was not designed for data. There it was possible to have a higher bandwidth out from the phone s…
