This makes me want to join again to uni and finally get my degree, but man, I haven't enough time to do that and also have some "myself" time. Leisure time is a human need btw, I l…

The response is ChatGPT. They're going to add ads to their responses (if they didn't added it already), and people use it as search engine.

Maybe I'm reading between lines, but isn't it ridiculous to talk about license prices when the affected machines are $900 pro laptops? I mean, I understand that in a cheap single b…

I knew about the difference they have between UNIX-like OSs in the usage of different signals (and the System V vs BSD battles, between others), but I didn't know Windows didn't ha…

I knew some changes (like STL containers) came from Boost, but I didn't know those also came from there, and specially since such a long time! That means I need to look more Boost …

I really like how some good structures used by other languages, specially Rust and Zig, have been added to the newer C++ standard. The Result, Optional, and Variant are really swee…

I wonder if some Apple-made software, like Final Cut, make use of all of those "duplicated" instructions at the same time for getting a better performance... I know how just the mu…

We already have some USB-C flash drives. Isn't just more practical to have USB-C keyboards, mice, and other devices like that instead of conserving the USB A?

IIRC some countries, like UK, have a similar thing like Credit Score, mostly used for what type of loans they can give you, max credit card limits, and other financial products, bu…

You can avoid this problem easily not letting students using phones or computers in the classroom and making doing more tasks at the classroom than at home. If you're going to say …

In my Uni we still had some coding test done with pen and paper (2014-2018), and AFAIK, they're still doing them. I even done a part of an exam in assembly with a provided Xilinx P…

I remember in the mid 2000s how some Xara Designer illustration software was able to do that, I don't know how isn't a more common thing (or maybe I don't know enough specialized s…

IMHO yes. Sometimes if the deviation is too big yo can get coocked, overcooked, and mostly raw pieces in the same pan, and that's heavily undesirable.

Some European Diesels have reached that amount with the same engine block and head ;-) My dad's BWM E60 has a M47 2.0L Turbo Diesel, and with around 440,000km keeps going strong. H…

Imagine how things are going on that MB are using petrol engines from the Chinese brand Geeky.

I can also watch it totally fine in a cheap recent Android phone at Firefox

Even tech influencers who love React, like Theo Browne, has heavily criticise how bad is made GitHub in that regard. IIRC they set the diff page to update entirely every reactive e…

Hyundai/Kia are fine in Diesel engines, electric power trains are giving plenty of problems, and their 2.5L petrol engines are incredibly bad. Outside that, they are cheap cars, an…

It happens the same to me. Probably we don't experience that because we don't either buy any cheap garments from Shein or similar Chinese stores.

I would add that sometimes when people usually say that rancid phrase of "they don't make it as they used to", they are comparing expensive products in the past with cheap ones in …

Happened the same to me

I think brand most recent iPhones are ridiculously powerful for their average use, so I don't think this would be an issue. For older models, on the other hand, it would be an issu…

Not UBI per se, but this exists in rural parts of Southern Spain in some way, and is called Rural Employment Plan (PER in its Spanish initials). The give simple jobs, like cleaning…

Some time ago I was toying around with a library called [MuPDF]( https://www.mupdf.com/ ) for something related, and with that library and a small Python script you can programmati…

Not a bad idea IMHO. There are already computers (servers mostly, but also integrated models) who only have 12V power connections and the mainboard does the step-down voltage conve…
