Interesting that the port side is unfinished; I didn’t realize that we never saw it!

Hmm maybe not, this is still happening for me.

Neat! Bug report: on my iPhone when I quickly double-tap the backspace button it zooms on that element, which is pretty distracting.

That place was casual but not cheap; ~$30 for a lobster roll. It’s out of business now.

I spent some time with my kid trying to get ChatGPT 4 to write bedtime stories. We found that it kept devolving into the pattern of a generic but acceptable setup followed by somet…

> Now only if I could find the name of this historian. Is it Hieronymus Wolf? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_Wolf

Thank you! This version is much better than that Instagram edit.

The displays can show black, white and red. He picked a good image for that palette. Still, the dithering was surprisingly effective.

If this really needs to happen then I like .GetAwaiter().GetResult() instead of .Result to get the same exception behavior as await rather than the wrapped AggregateException that …

I’m not the parent but I built something similar in the Fractal Node 304 which supports six 2.5” drives. Mine’s been going strong for 7 years now. https://www.fractal-design.com/pr…

One thing that frustrates me is that as far as I'm aware none of the delivery apps provide an option for me to tip the restaurant. Especially in these times I want to give some ext…

You could also consider the Precision 5510 [1] if a Quadro GPU works for you. Essentially an XPS 15 but it includes Intel wifi. Recently got one from work and I've been pretty happ…

If you're tying to follow along in calc.exe but the percent key is disabled, switch to Standard mode. It's not on in the other modes.

I have a free Google Apps account mostly so that I can have a custom domain for my small (free) App Engine site: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/domain It's sad that n…

Just FYI, Skype proper (but not on facebook) does support group video chats as a paid extra feature now: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/group-v...

I enthusiastically second this recommendation; Quirks & Quarks has definitely been my favorite podcast recently and is the only one I listen to that holds my attention and interest…

A tape that ends with three blues still ends with two blues. But fair enough, if there were a test case then there wouldn't be this ambiguity. Anyway, fun little game. I wonder how…

With regards to your last point: I don't doubt that the vast majority of hiring processes aren't correlated with on-the-job success, but Google is definitely the kind of company th…

Oh, that's a pretty small area then. When I saw the map in the article I thought that the suggestion was that all those roads were non-existant. If it's just a blank area of map wi…

No street view, but the satellite images match the allegedly non-existant streets shown in the article's screenshot. Curious. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&#38..…

Definitely agree, but I've had lecturers who take this too far. My intro. quantum physics professor was a brilliant and accomplished researcher at the bleeding edge of this field w…

I didn't see any examples of a case where design was "held back by a tyranny of data" in the article. Maybe a data-centric view is cumbersome, but Google clearly feels strongly tha…

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but it sounds like he's suggesting using AdWords to do some quick A|B tests to solidify a position and confirm assumptions. Sure, the low-QS page …
