My favourite feature was using TTS to learn how to read very very long numbers …
Can it not just be that what happens in stuffy meeting rooms is boring? Opening the windows changes the temperature, the noise levels, perhaps the light levels ≈ adds some novelty, which makes you feel a bit more awake.
Yes, you are correct. As the SI brochure states: "Compound prefix symbols, i.e. prefix symbols formed by the juxtaposition of two or more prefix symbols, are not permitted." Unfortunately, almost no one uses SI units…
Last time I resigned, I got to keep the laptop and got to promise I had deleted everything work-related.
Is it not just the same as when people suddenly started having "an ask"? It is some kind of in-group speak that it is important that you adopt just to show that you are with the times.
It is a good point and I also struggled with that bit somewhat. It is different in so many ways, have different symptoms, does not respond (as well) to the same medication, and affect different parts of the brain. The…
During the most expensive month in recent years, the price has (on average) been <150 öre/kWh. Like prices of dinosaur soup at the pump, the majority of the cost for an individual end consumer is not the electricity…
I am also quite interested in psychology, but at least in my realm it would take something like 5–7 years of studies etc to become a licensed psychologist, if you want to work directly with humans. That is quite the…
Through luck and happenstance, I have rarely needed to look for a job before; I have always come across new opportunities through my network. Usually it has been a recommendation/referral + one or two interviews and…
I cannot be alone in feeling that titles (within "tech" in particular) are almost completely arbitrary? What constitutes a "senior", "lead", "principal" and "staff" X, respectively, has so much overlap that it really…
Wonderfully written. If I have had too much caffeine I also look forward to the time when it burns off: "finally the tension on the harp strings eases, and one returns to the relaxed, meandering, simple-minded and…
It is probably even a hyphen-minus, so called because on most early keyboards one character had to do to represent both a hyphen and a minus. In Unicode, there is a separate code point for an unambiguous hyphen. There…
Vodka that expires must be the epitome of enshittification!
I always thought it was because it is more obvious how to pronounce "postgres" than "PostgreSQL".
Well, methamphetamine is very rarely (never?) prescribed for ADHD. Ritalin is methylphenidate.
It is a proper noun, in contrast to the other internets. If there is a guy called Guy you would not call him guy.
I am not so sure that the schools necessarily should make it their problem. Sure, compulsory primary schools should try pretty damn hard to drag pupils along. However, once one gets to the tertiary level of education,…
Is that not because there is not much to do, and therefore people use .unwrap() — because crashing is actually quite sane? Correctness trumps ergonomics, and the default should definitely be poisoning/panicking unless…
If we are talking about BNW, which was written in 1931, then that book predates benzodiazepines by 25 years or so. Perhaps you are thinking about barbiturates?
I travelled on that train for a bit somewhat later, in 2018. The immigration officials remained, but very few of the refugees.
Between phases, it is 400 V; between phase and neutral, 230 V. There are five "lines": three phases, one neutral and one ground.
Have been sketching on what sounds like some of your concepts: recipes as trees with actions done to ingredients with timing and so on. I will sign up as a beta tester! :)
How is that hard? They put 90% of their estimated revenue as net revenue (post-McK tax) in the budget? Seems about as hard as the underlying problem, which is guessing ("forecasting") the revenue.
I liked how you phrased that: "promises of future … you can't compete with". That happens so often, and strangely the argument that those promises have never become real the previous 26 times never works. The glorious…
