I have a theory: Japanese car's have excellent reliability, their interiors and design are lacking. If every car in the world is an EV, which due to their relative simplicity tend …

Layman, so bear with me. I'm wondering where they got the amino acids and proteins from? I was under the impressino that cells needed them to be "homochiral" to function, and the a…

I go to church. Everyone has 3 kids. Thanks for bringing it up!

I remember reading that in certain areas/communities in the USA, it's pretty close to 50:50.

What if computers simply rendered 300dpi PNG files and sent that to the printer?

Oh good point, I didn't think of transitive dependencies. A lot of languages i've worked with unfortunately have a 'do not check in the lockfile' culture, and a common 'blow away t…

I recently ported an old brickout clone I made to Sokol (a C header-based game library). The whole executable is 500kb (macos), surely could be smaller with eg symbols stripped, an…

To mitigate supply chain attacks like this, I've taken to specifying exact versions in my Rust cargo.toml, and when importing new crates, select the previous-to-latest version. Is …

"All I could think about was how bored I would eventually get" I used to wonder this. I read the religious answer to this relies on the concept of infinitude: what if an infinite g…

The traditional concept of an 'embodied' resurrection (as opposed to ghosts playing harps) makes me lean towards: yes (eg the gut is part of the body). Who knows though, it's a fun…

I believe you resolve it by the concept of spirit/body dualism, where your body/soul degenerates but the spirit is still fine.

Holy moly, that guy in the reddit post needs to see a dermatologist asap and figure out why their skin is emitting acid.

I don't understand: Who's lending the $2B in situations like this? Wouldn't they be worried that the above situation (company gutted, then going down the drain) is going to play ou…

BMW resale values make it very clear: these cars are actively hostile (in many many ways) to their owners the second they go out of warranty. Pity, their interiors are lovely. In t…

I believe this is already what happens with Volkswagen - recently I had my brakes replaced by an independent mechanic, and they had to charge me $50ish for some software lock as pa…

Is it worth mentioning that there are almost countless Chinese EV brands nowadays? I wonder if Apple was really trying. I’m sure it’s difficult, of course, but it seems like every …

Also reminded me a lot of simcity 2000. Congrats, it's very neat!

I wonder if this would be suitable for drone delivery of small groceries, to keep the drone high enough that people don’t have to hear the noise.

Anyone know if this or similar devices can display information sent from some code I write in, say, rust without drivers or libraries (eg should not be too complicated to write to)…

I largely agree with you. I used to work at Cochlear (hearing aid implants) - their "headphone" equivalents actually had neatly replaceable batteries 10 years ago, it's doable! Lar…

I have a bee in my bonnet about this software complexity issue. Perhaps it takes large amounts of humility to accept that your job is fairly mundane, and only needs simple code to …

This is really disappointing. I used to have a fertility tracking app on the iOS App Store, zero data sharing, all local thus private. But, people don’t want to pay $1 for an app, …

You say that hamas is no "credible military threat" - may I beg you please reconsider this in light of the 1195 killed when they attacked on October 7? They're no world-class army,…

Anecdata: Recently spoke with a friend's son who graduated compsci a year-ish ago, he reckons none of his year got jobs, now working in a kitchen. (in australia for context). Very …
