Thank you for all the follow up posts on this thread... It strikes me they're probably taking up as much, if not more, time just in the clarifications!

In 2000 came across a binary space partition algo that did this, but used a small scheme interpreter to codegen the c++ BSP code. Would love to find out the library name... have no…

PopOS is awesome. It's what I use on my XY Thinkpad (repurposed Intel/hexa-core/12-HyperThreads/64GB/matte-screen/2TB(SSD+HDD)+256GbNVME/VGA/Trackpoint/USBC/laptop)! Nothing better…

Shilling XYtech's repurposed Intel/12-core/64GB/matte-screen/2TB/VGA/Trackpoint/USBC/ laptops! Nothing better imo, unless he adds an E-Ink option!

This is exactly what I meant. Particularly visible in richer social strata in SEA, especially in the Philippines and to a lesser extent in Malaysia & Singapore. The amount of sucro…

Just wait until we get viable electric mo'bikes! I don't remember exactly, but I think Michael Cyzsz was working on transmissions before he passed away.

This company (and the founder) are just a bunch of mechanical geniuses. Other than in pure-electric, where they partnered with Rimac, they have driven so much innovation, especiall…

yes, I agree with you. It's just at the time I was unaware that brain chemistry could be genetically dependent; although as you say that's pre-disposition, and the trigger can be t…

Probably because it comes through as tall claims based on anecdata? But I've lived in Europe, America, Asia, ME & Australia (also visited every SEA country) and the prevalence of m…

adoptee turned to hard drugs (opiods) in his teens. the opinion was: what do you expect, the father was an addict too. at the time I was shocked as I was so firmly in the nurture c…

Disclaimer: I am quite firmly in that camp now, although at first I considered them all nutters. Some thing has been driving global ill-health in our post-disease world (excluding …

I heard the most bizarre & unexpected opinion first-hand from an obgyn. Prior to this I was firmly in the nurture camp of nature/nurture, but this obgyn's opinion on adoptions shoc…

I find this topic very interesting. My observation (anecdata-lly, but I would love to see RCTs or perhaps a cleanly designed ANOVA study) is that these symptoms of infertility are …

Have you tried the Ear Hero Bluetooth adapter?

It would be interesting to see the correlation in families with a history of diabetes, and to correlate it to T2 diabetes or "metabolic syndrome". I have anecdata about this, but I…

To identify quality one may start by eschewing the habit of wearing undergarments as one’s main garment.

I faced a similar issue with Netflix when I tried to update the credit-card on my account. Got a PHL Call Center that insisted the card txn was being declined. I tried to explain t…

All this and not one mention of DabbleDB !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCVj5RZOqwY https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=102

Similar to what car enthusiasts do, restomods are probably the sweet spot for performance and ownership.

Ran IRIX back in the day and the thing I most remember is display postscript with zoomable everything. Today a resto-modded [1] ThinkPad is probably a better choice, featuring repa…

The curation tools are limited especially with playlists and worst of all watch later SILENTLY fails after 5000 videos are added to the watch later playlist. Yesterday a watching n…

And their protein is more usable by our digestive systems than plant proteins.

Perhaps a riff on French immersion schools like we have in British Columbia which are supposed to impart a higher level of education due to their much-vaunted academic standards.

A pity about F-Script for sure, if only it had targeted app builders. Smalltalk history seems to be littered with abandoned projects. Amber ST in the browser and F-Script on OSX co…
