Some people do not realize that they're in a parasocial relationships with content creators like streamers and youtubers and feel that it is reasonable to have expectations. For me…

This is nice! I looked into this quite a lot some years back when I was trying to summarize IKEA catalogs using color and eventually wrote an R package if you want to look into an …

I've spent some time thinking about this earlier as this indeed is one way a teacher would introduce a young child to programming (but by using actual bread, pb and j). An importan…

Same in Sweden! One of the public radio channels (P2) had some nighttime shows with Commodore 64 programs. I can't remember if it was purely BASIC programs or just loaders using da…

My experience too. Early Spotify had the best music and I could find pretty much everything I liked, plus excellent recommendations. I don't think it was that the music I liked was…

I can definitely see the use case as it is annoying having to choose between actively looking at participants of a meeting on screen or _appear_ to look at the participants by gazi…

Like others have said, get a used Sony a6000 (or higher model, try to get one where the screen can be swiveled to point forward). If you expect to be sitting close to the camera, y…

Can’t speak for others but I use it in the context of a web app that really needs to be full screen on a mobile and that is delivered by/connects to embedded hardware without inter…

Not an answer to parent comments, just wanted to emphasize that coming from "somewhere else" invasive. Not an expert so there are likely edge cases but one example would be a meado…

Side note: In Sweden, Harry has once again become a quite popular name for children. My two-year old is named Harry and out of 15 kids at Kindergarten, there are two Harry :)

Wikipedia has some more information on the issue: "By the end of October 2016, before its official release and after only three pre-release screenings in September 2016 at the Toro…

(OT) I use that feature all the time when I know the name of, say, a mathematical term in one language but not in another.

It took me a while to understand why there was such a tricky character as semicolon in the first unit. On a Swedish keyboard, I think it's equivalent to typing the We have QWERTY t…

Also, it's visual in the sense that both parties can easily verify that it is the correct amount and avoids any "…but I thought I gave you five quarters…".

True. If I remember Hattie correctly, he argues something akin to that reducing class sizes is mostly a political move (it's certainly not research based) — and after spending huge…

The extensive research by John Hattie shows that reduced class sizes has a small but positive effect on student achievement but relative to other factors, it is very inefficient: h…

Same for me with regular glasses but reading glasses for far-sightedness is another issue as you can't put them on temporarily while driving.

By conventional means, do you mean reading glasses? Observing people needing/using them, to me it seems like a hassle and definitely not a solution that most are satisfied with. Th…

For those who are not familiar with CC — and since most of the comments so far refer to speech-to-text — CC is more than regular subtitles. CC often displays contextual information…

The amount of cooling needed is not constant over time (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_heat ), which is one of the reasons passive cooling systems are designed for days rat…

I think it was just meant as being local to Sweden.

I think some of the arguments in the video depend much on how tightly invention is defined. Personally, I'd say that even if all components on a circuit board were already individu…

Yes, and to make Django even more safe, a number of improvements have been made over the last year (e.g. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15367 ).

It certainly is. Not that I think it is a derivative but to some extent it is what Douglas Rushkoff argues in his book Program or Be Programmed (2010): "In a digital age, we must l…
