I used Dropbox from 2009 through last month or so. Switched over to Syncthing. I was a little bit worried about stability but soon after I sampled it I felt convinced that it was the right move. I was previously using…
It's become conventional to use it to refer to a light with customizable RGB parameters, versus a single color. For example both my desktop keyboard and mouse are "RGB" and they have various color modes and even…
It's hard to pin down the source of injury because there are so many factors, but I suggest looking at it holistically: * The weightlifting equipment - whether the barbell is balanced, if your shoes are flat to allow…
Waterstones came back, and recently, too. [0] They're a similar company that faced similar issues - it CAN be done. This is about a lack of vision and will from the management to re-position the company, make hard cuts,…
I've done a few tests with GDScript. There isn't the same depth of library support as Python for obvious reasons, which makes the experience different even though the syntax is pretty close, but it's not worse at the…
These things don't actually explain why the download is large. The download is large because it has example scenes included.
If it's complex and hard to maintain, then it's not dumb code. It's genius code. Dumb code is actually very hard to write successfully in production and there isn't a recipe for it. The novice flails and makes the code…
In economics jargon, financial services are explicitly defined as not the real economy as an outcome of how "real value" is defined. Finance deals primarily with nominal(price) values, versus real ones(cost of inputs,…
A lot of the stuff early Superman did also wouldn't fly today. In many of those 30's and 40's comics, he has a habit of simplistic "might makes right" behaviors like clobbering low-level villains or simply threatening…
Here is Billy Joel using Auto-Tune live in 2007, with overly aggressive settings: [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmhTmKD6rXc Same man, same song, in 1978, 1986, and 2000: [1]…
Spaghetti code by its original conception, code that uses GOTO to jump all over the program willy-nilly, mostly died with the adoption of procedural languages that eliminate or mitigate the usage of GOTO, forcing naive…
W/R to strength training, I've had a lot of success combating overtraining by following the science recommendations more carefully and logging my progress against a target volume which I can gradually bump up and reset…
For those in SF, in the past I tried finding the longest possible flight from SFO using an "opposite side of the world" website. It landed in the ocean, in the vicinity of Madagascar.
It's a false dichotomy. Creating by copying and referencing is quite trivial now. We do it all the time and think nothing of it. Creating original designs, giving them a lot of thought and attention, responding to…
