I'm surprised about the 266 MB of DICOM images, I've never had an MRI but my CT results are generally between 1-2GB (zipped) and I always assumed an MRI would have more data, guess…

I don't touch my display on my MacBook and it's always yucky because of the finger oils on my keyboard, so the thought of having to use a special cloth to clean it always seemed li…

For me it often still is.. at least when I'm working alone on something / no collaboration needed. Every time I try something else I revert back to this, although sometimes I do sa…

Always reminds me of the time Apple introduces "Smart Shuffle" in iTunes in 2005 which "which lets the user change the “randomness” of shuffled songs". https://www.apple.com/newsro…

If I check on monkeytype it's around 130wpm but as others have said it really depends on what you are typing. (for what it's worth I learned to touch type on an old typewriter deca…

Back in the day I think most people got their apps from the PalmGear website ( https://web.archive.org/web/20010331040533/http://palmgear.c... ) and sync it to their Palm device vi…

I had a very mild pain on and off again that I assumed would go away and waited with going to the GP way too long.

Yeah if possible get screened and when in doubt about something in/on your body please get it checked. I also had to suffer through chemo this year because of metastasis – had I ch…

I can't put my finger on it but I don't find this enjoyable to read at all.. so I don't know much about readability claims here. Maybe I'm an outlier.

I have never seen a 3+ month notice to quit in the country I live, curious which country this happens in? Sounds extremely ridiculous if true

I loved Palm since my first, the IIIe SE and have had many of their other later devices too. I was even invited to the launch party of the Zire 71 with it's cool slide out mechanis…

I care a lot about my privacy and this was one of the main reasons I didn't want to use dating apps. But I also didn't want to stay alone and meeting people in meat space (maybe I …

I never accepted the new terms in the Instagram app, it keeps asking again every now and then but you can get around it for a while and use the app. I'm very curious whether that m…

Delta for free in the regular App Store everywhere but the EU where we have to download a paid app store to install it, so it begins.

Interesting! When I got presented this list Safari wasn't even "above the fold" which surprised me, so I assumed it was randomised. When I clicked Safari it also opened an App Stor…

I only learned about vector after I had setup a new fluent-bit pipeline, and have to say there's a lot of stuff that looks interesting in vector and wish I had time to play with it…

Yeah but only in evergreen browsers once they implement it.. plus now you are making the browser do more work compared to just having simple CSS files that don't have to do complic…

This looks terrible. Is this really necessary? I feel like purists who write CSS by hand don't want this kind of stuff, because otherwise they'd have switched to one of thousands o…

Fine I'll try despite having a painful hand right now, my WPM mention was not coding specific btw but I am always happy to help a throwaway account; I got "You can type 80 words pe…

My parents forced me to take typing lessons on typewriters in the 90s and I am thankful they did, of course that had some technical limitations in regard to speed but it definitely…
