Yes, the planet got destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for sharebolders

Having a closed coolant loop and using evaporative cooling which expends water aren't mutually exclusive. It's possible for a datacenter to manage heat rejection by blowing air ove…

Niceness of lawn mowing is very climate dependent. Around 70 degrees I don’t mind it. Different story when it’s 98. Unenjoyable, and my electric motor’s batteries die twice as fast…

A fun tidbit about Sim Tower: > After my lecture, a Maxis employee who shall remain nameless buttonholed me. "You guessed right," she said. "Sim Tower was built around a real eleva…

Is this StackOverflow now, where it's forbidden to discuss something if someone else had a similar discussion before?

Revit is parametric, but something like Rhino (going off reputation, never used it myself) gives you more free-form modeling control. It’s like starting with a pencil sketch instea…

If you're not aware, you can remap modifier keys in System Settings on macOS. It doesn't have individual settings for left/right versions of a modifier key, so keep it in whichever…

Not an expert, but from what I read the expectation is for sodium ion batteries to get substantially cheaper than lithium, mainly due to material cost. Lithium makes up 0.002% of t…

> don’t tell me I did not “make” it because it simply would not exist if I hadn’t created it. So like when I went to a restaurant last week and "made" a cheeseburger with no lettuc…

And when they pick up groceries they load everything onto the floor of the back seat because the bed is so high up you’d need a step ladder to use it

But a regular notebook has a limited supply of them

Another solution for this is a notebook with removable pages, you can scribble all you want and if you decide later you don’t need that page in this notebook you can take it out (t…

It was only 2.5 years between Apple's first device with Lightning (iPhone 5 in September 2012) and their first device with USB-C (12" Macbook in April 2015). It's not like Lightnin…

When I had a Pebble Time (dead, waiting on PR2) I basically had notifications turned off. For that matter, I have very few notifications enabled phone too. It's great as a watch th…

Less the part where you can do it one handed, I don't see why they wouldn't be. Even the Time Round 2 has a microphone just no speaker. If not official support somebody else can al…

> The issues are a bit sad. But I will happily upgrade with the discount to the revised version of time 2. The what? The only discount mentioned in the article is when they stop re…

If it lasts 15 hours of recording and you record on average 5 seconds at a time, that’s about 11000 activations. I think 5 seconds is a pretty conservative estimate, most things I …

I have no idea what the solar named brand is, but maybe the department-store-like one is Targus?

You're supposed to call them back on a number you know is really that person/company. This ensures the person you're talking to is actually from your bank and not just calling from…

Would be great, but at least on iOS the only way to add a PWA to your home screen is via the share menu. Apple would need to support that header pop-up to install the PWA and they …

For an easier change than HTML or SVG, try running them though pngcrush to make the graph images much smaller. Won't give you the lossless vector quality, but you should be able to…
