Photobucket has sent me the “do you want to keep your old photos?” email every three days or so, from 8/2023 onwards. Some of the emails specifically mention that there’s 35 photos…

Could you link to it? I couldn’t find it on your site.

I don’t think people who play a lot use the AR mode when catching Pokémon. It’s easier without it, and saves some battery. But I could be mistaken.

I find it fascinating how with flight attendants there’s such a gap between what your everyday work is and what you need to know. Like every flight is just normal, but then once a …

Yeah, the bigger chain stores already have most of this information. I don’t know if tying it to an actual ID would make much difference.

The article mentions it in passing, but Oodi is an important stop for parents with babies. The third floor is quite often packed with strollers. Sure you can hang out in any cafe, …

Part of the joke is that the new Super Mario movie has been criticized for being overly violent. So it’s partly commenting on that discussion. I think it’s useful to know, that all…

That’s not why user scrolls up, or at least not the only reason. For example, reading this discussion I constantly scroll up and down to center the text on screen. If the header on…

The carousel is way too fast to be able to read the texts. I’ve made the same mistake as a developer when I already know each text by heart, but actual users can’t read them fast e…

It’s mostly just WTF repeated over and over again

Adding a new data structure just for this feels like such an AI thing. I've added to our agents.md a rule to prefer using existing libraries and types, otherwise Gemini will just h…

Muscles don’t burn that much calories, only like 13 kcal/kg/day. So if I suddenly gained 10 kg of muscle, I could theoretically burn half a donut per day. Plus the extra calories s…

Which 5G router do you use?

If you need to share the idea of the talk using just the slides then that’s a totally different problem. You shouldn’t make the slides worse for people who can attend the talk.

Do wolves have a light source or what are the antlers reflecting in this scenario?

I think it’s some engine type that makes the sound at some specific speed / throttle setting. But I can’t remember the specifics. Some planes passing us make the sound, most don’t.…

Well said. Sometimes I notice that I’m thinking about a thing for days or weeks and the only way to make it stop is to write a post about it.

This is really hard. Anyone got any tips?

My favorite example of this is trucks transporting Finnish bottled water to France and then bringing French bottled water back.

I think the point was that every new washing machine already does these things (measures how much detergent to use, checks when the water is clean enough etc.) without any AI. It’s…

Could someone copy and paste it here for us lowly EU folks?

I did a similar thing at a startup where I was working as a consultant. We would constantly run out of coffee cups so I started smuggling in more cups each day, some 50 in total. L…

I digitized the CDs I still had left a couple years ago. Over half of them were not on Spotify. And they weren’t even anything obscure, just electronica where licensing is often a …

At least around here you open an app on your phone, select which pump you are on, and the total is charged from your debit card. The total time is just the time it takes to pump fu…

That’s me too. I disliked having podcasts in otherwise perfectly OK music app, and also Spotify’s efforts to rebrand ‘podcasts’ as something else than “mp3s on RSS”. But I was a pa…
