Yep, I've had fun with this service. Simple to use, quick and decent results. I exported the checkpoint and used with colab notebooks.

I lived in London in the 90s and early 2000s. I used to love walking whenever I could and walked the commute from Fulham to Westminster. Some of my favourite places are unrecognisa…

Great idea. I really enjoyed Angry Birds when it first came out and when my children asked about to install it on their devices I said this was fine. I couldn't find the original A…

This is really interesting in that it doesn't use photoplethysmography (PPG) in the same way that the Galaxy Active 2 does(an optical sensor that measures bounced back light.) Ther…

I had a GearVR and it was pretty fun for a while but the battery life, overheating and lack of great apps made me lose interest. I then got a mixed reality headset and Beat Saber w…

Oh yep. I listened to a full cast reading of The Man of Legends by Kenneth Johnson a couple of months ago and the narration was pretty good on the most part. There was a section th…

Yes, we are animals. We are pretty unique within the animal kingdom but we are still animals.

He rejects the term 'Sexual Assault' completely. https://stallman.org/antiglossary.html#assult There's plenty of troubling stuff in his writing.

That's interesting. This year, for the first time, I've been working with Rails. It wasn't my choice but I've really enjoyed it. A lot just makes sense and it's been so quick to ge…

I really enjoyed that part of the book. If I remember correctly, the soldiers were just representations of the Trisolarans as they were too alien for us to identify with. The actua…

Annual membership is around £59.99 here if bought at the right time. I don't like the company but for me Prime is good value. My children get to watch Dora, Paw Patrol and there's …

I have a Mixed Reality headset and Google Earth is amazing with room-scale VR. It's not something I would have thought would work as well as it does. Beat Saber is the only VR game…

I lost a batch on MtGox but it looks like I might get something back. I'm quite grateful the trustee sold off a few hundred million dollars worth at around $12k. At least there are…

Just what I was going to say. That's a huge file and slows the site down considerably. It should be easy to switch to a MPEG4/WebM video for animation.

Yep, it's a good book and reads like a thriller. I read it as a fable against 'Fear of missing out' and 'Fake it 'til you make it' culture. I like the idea of a simple universal te…

This is interesting to read as I've been struggling with the best approach for my son who's coming up for five. He has a pretty solid understanding of basic addition, subtraction a…

Maybe, but it's not only urine that causes red eyes. When chlorine binds with any organic matter it can create compounds that sting your eyes. Sweat isn't as eye-catching as urine.…

The headline is a bit clickbaity. The third paragraph starts with "In fact, chlorine is still a culprit." A more accurate title could be "Urine and Chlorine Cause Red Eyes in Pools…

That's put a smile on my face to see her looking well but ouch, that's quite a bill. I had a transnasal craniotomy (surgery through the nose) back in 2012 to remove a pituitary tum…

We were using Google Maps but the change in pricing means that we will need to find another service. From this week onwards there won't be any free map loads a day. There will be $…

Reading all of these replies is making me nostalgic for my youth in California. I spent a lot of time in Santa Cruz between '95 and '98 and used to head to SF pretty regularly. As …

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. How explicit does the consent need to be? How obvious do deletions need to be? Will server location cause problems? It seems obvious…

Here in Scotland when my son was born, he needed to stay in hospital for 10 days for what turned out to be benign myclonic jerks in his sleep. The midwives gave my wife her own roo…

Yep. I agree - it's pretty easy to slip up and public IPs are fairly easy to monitor. It reminds me of this project https://github.com/edsu/anon which "lets you tweet about anonymo…

That's more realistic than some I've seen but it reminds me more of Paul Rudd from his body language.
