I mostly feel this on Microsoft stuff. O365 browser stuff was always buggy, but last month I had to fight to zoom in on something in PowerPoint. Pagination in Azure ML randomly bro…

I don't think that much is shared between streets and roads. Roads need all the details about curvature in the article so car traffic flows efficiently. Compare that to the beautif…

If we have a 9 km mountain on an otherwise spherical planet (r=6371 km), the horizon would be 339 km away. With two mountains having a sightline between eachother the maximum theor…

Be careful what you believe from Balázs Orbán, as a Hungarian I can say he is mostly concerned to come up with a ideology to explain whatever Viktor Orbán is doing and not building…

Thanks for this post! I have been looking for ways to make music in the last month and it helped me find strudel!

This really tells a story about the sad state of android devices, that you have to use third party apps for basic stuff like the file manager to avoid spyware/adware.

If they want to show that the infrastructure did not involve central planning, they should search for hacks. Stuff that is not centrally planned always ends up with hack where engi…

My typical drive to visit family is roughly 125 kms with a 130 km/h speed limit and 125 kms with a 110 limit. If I drove at 100 all the time it would take 25 minutes more. More tha…

Is cotton cultivation that bad in areas that were not artificially made suitable for the crop by the Soviet Union?

IMO old reddit it atrociously bad for self posts and images as well. I would not have used it without Reddit Enhancement Suite.

It pretty much is, but it's not rad hard in the sense that you can change or delete any one letter. Well, maybe in animals and plants, since we have at least two copies of most gen…

I think AWS has a similar service where they send a van to your private datacenter that has a bunch of storage servers in it to help you migrate to S3. You plug the van in the netw…

Implement everything in Zulu, then watch as the frontend ticket for proper rendering stays on the bottom of the backlog, because you always have more concerning problems than users…

I only had an intro course in CPU architecture, but AFAIK pipelining depends on parts of the pipeline running on the same clock. I'd say CPU manufacturers already sidestepped this …

I think the author has left out a big piece why Rust enables better interface here: ownership. In C++ could the compile time checks prevent me from creating both an input and outpu…

What a terrible article. This could be potentially interesting in my research but no citation to any original study, just vague descriptions of findings.

Does your face feel warm, when the sun shines on it? Would it feel warm from a handful of low power IR LEDs? I doubt it. People underestimate the power of sunshine.

Keeping your fingers on the home row for basic navigation sounds pretty nice. It's not Stockholm syndrome, it's muscle memory.

I guess that was because they were afraid of it getting stuck in a tire. If I found a strange metal cylinder in my tires, I would probably pick it up a try to find out what it is.

The Hungarian system is pretty much useless since the reform in 2013. Before 2013 party candidates that did not win the districts contributed their votes to the list vote totals. T…

I don't think that you need to know any of the underlying maths to make a neural network in TF/Keras. You need to know (not understand!) the building blocks, and what are they good…

Most people take familiar medcine. I won't read the instructions in the n+1th pack of ibuprofen I'm buying.

Estimating Avogadro's number to within 2 orders of magnitude from kneading putty seems very precise.
