I’m just being jealous, but isn’t absolute pitch relative to the current tuning standard? What happens with orchestras tuned at 442 Hz? Reading comments from people with absolute p…

I like to flirt with new fonts every now and then but for me all roads lead to Monaco.

Why do you consider Postgres + PostGIS out of fashion? What are people using for spatial data these days?

I don’t have a formula, but in Italy for example it would be 24% of their profit.

I hear you, I can write BASIC in any language.

Not that I was expecting a global dataset, but title should be “USA Fall Foliage Map 2025“.

To me it just looks like a world map rotated by 180 degrees. Not strange or disorienting.

And progressive lenses. There’s still a long way to go.

Incidentally, it’s also a demonstration that you shouldn’t use high contrast in typography. When you start the test you can clearly see the lines of text retained on your retina.

What I find infuriating is to see colors stripped from children’s toys and clothes, especially by Northern Europe brands. Those dull beige taupe tones might attract parents but I’m…

> leaving only a small number of highly specialized positions available. Stupid question: how do you become a high level programmer if entry and mid level roles disappear?

Not sure I get your point, are you saying that I should enjoy them because many people do?

Serious question: how do you understand ABBA? Because I consider music listening a journey and songs that I dislike now might be my favorite ones in the future. But I really don’t …

There’s also a short "Making of" documentary available on YouTube. So moving and inspiring.

Use to do SOFA without knowing about it. Then marriage came, then children and boom, collapse of the wave function.

80 years are not so far in time for me as I recently realized that when I was born I was closer to the end of the war than my current age. That made me feel somehow more connected …

I believe it's something called "structural absorption", similar to what happens on birds of paradise feathers [1] [1] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02088-w

I think it started with Apple when switching from OS 9 to OS X, I couldn’t explain it at the time and still feel disappointed with so much waste of expensive screen estate.

I faced a similar problem as my wife had a chorionangioma, a placenta tumor. Or it was my son, it’s even hard to tell who had it as placenta is external to both. In the hospital wh…

I’m not a child psychologist but I observed how my daughter became almost instinctively scared of the wolf. I think that less sanitized fairy tales can be a bridge between children…
