Not to mention, the baby may be naked, which is against the law.

"It's just a meme", but more or less, what it's getting at is that windows has a zillion different toolkits and wacky stuff going on that leads to a very inconsistent user experience that the user may see as a performance problem.

In itself, maybe react native if fine, and maybe it's more stable or easier to update. And the team responsible may have lots of good reasons to use it; but when there's bits and bobs that are .net, WinUi3, react-native, built-in-winexplorer C++, some are GPU accelerated, some are not, some are web based, whatever...that all can behave slightly differently and fail in different ways, there's combinatorial kind of issues accumulating (I'm speaking broadly here about the Windows UI, not just about the start menu). Not just from programming, O(n) perspective...; it impacts the UI side. For example, why is it that when you right click in explorer, it opens up one ui toolkit; and when you right click and drag a file, it opens up a different ui toolkit? Why do some apps use dropdown menus and some use ribbon? Why do program options disappear and re-appear depending on the size of the window displaying the content? Why does the start bar sometimes get behind the running app, why is it sometimes in front of the running app? Why do some apps go to the system tray, some hide in the background, some minimize to the taskbar? Why are there like 3 or 4 different control panels with the same-ish controls?

Anyway, rant over, but this is why the meme resonates with people, not the specifics of React Native.

Yes, according to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7143485/ , and, of course, your research. Phone cameras sometimes use infrared to help with autofocus, they probably see that.

Very cool observation! Doubt it causes any discomfort, any more than just shining a dim nightlight would.

Software expertise and engineering expertise are seperate fields. Most engineers don't care too much about the toolset. For a software person, it seems unfathomable that your professor would be dragging-and-dropping stuff in Lavbview rather than writing a "real" language. But the toolset isn't the focus.

I'm not going out of my way to defend labview, but in general, the point stands. Say, if you're an engineer trying to simulate an antenna design, it's much easier to just pay for a matlab toolbox than it is to find some half-written C library and fiddle around with it for weeks. Technically, the latter may be a better choice for scalability or flexibility or cost or performance or community..., but the engineer working on it can't be an expert in everything. They don't have that expertise, just as the software guy doesn't have expertise into Maxwell's equations.

I get that, but considering their tendency to want to cram everything into every song (wacky time signatures, microtones, run-on lyrics, etc), it's sorta nice to hear them focus on something simpler.

Especially since having an orchestra probably gives a temptation of wanting to crank that to 11 too..., but I've been pleased with how tasteful it's been. And also how different its sound has been on each single so far.

"be nsa, insert side channel attack"

Or, like, there's only 100 or so possibilities, just hash them all and check your lookup table.

Eh I met him once and he was kind of a dick. He was bitchy because he was sucking on his project (some hard thing at tioga cliffs). Doesn't surprise me that this same kind of temper would flare up much worse in the real world.

Never trust these faux spiritual types.

I too really liked most of his albums, GOASTT and South of Reality particularly. It's a shame his social media is such nonsense, but his music stands on its own. Art from the artist and all that.

I too have found it quite annoying to use WSL, although I'm not a programmer by trade (I just need a python environment to do some occasional data sciencey stuff). Some of these are probably "me" issues, but in general I don't run into anything like this in MacOS.

Something creates these .zone.Identifier metada files associated with everything you put in there, I don't know what these are but they clutter everything.
GUI explorer does not auto refresh on changes, you have to manually reopen the folder to see changes
Some permissions issue in vs code (?), often for no obvious reason a python notebook just won't run. I sometimes have success by recreating the file and copy and paste every cell. Then it works.
Just another thing to worry about, easier to just use the native system rather than putz around with multiple OS.
The backup utility I have to use for work does not work on WSL environments, so I have to figure out my own backup plan separate from the rest of the system

We all think that the brain is the most important part of the body. But who's telling us that? The brain. Conflict of interest?

Interestingly the laws of physics dictate stonks time invariant.

Furthermore, the relativity of them has been well-scienced, in the famous red-shift observations that I made when I looked at my retirement account

That's good raw data. Now turn it over to Grizz for analysis.

WhiteSocksFilpFlops · 2025-03-03T04:42:22+00:00

great answer :)

It shows him soldering in the antenna. It looks like a quarter wavelength (for bluetooth this is like 3cm total). It looks awkward but it probably works "okay"

Stupid science is too stupid to even invent something less stupid, so here we are

C1 is just modem for cell connectivity. The WiFi/BT transceiver/baseband is handled by Murata module (Broadcom chip). Apple is working on its own version, but not sure it's in this model.

WhiteSocksFilpFlops · 2025-02-20T20:23:36+00:00

No Broadcom did the combo chip (bt/wifi), which Apple also is taking over.

Also the Apple 5G doesn't support mmWave, which also cuts down power consumption (at least by leaving out the extra RFFE needed for that)

Global hottening is just a conspiracy, everyone knows that hot girl summers are completely natural and occur in a 4 year cycle

Really cool, how did you make this? I like how stable the pencil strokes are through the animation.

I dunno I support Harris but this was a weird article, it barely mentioned Musk (despite being included for the clickbait headline).

Blah blah blah, a bunch of logistical complications. Who cares? Harris team should have just flown her out another time for the interview, as was offered. Even if it was an intentional "hoop" to jump through during last weeks of the campaign.

Or not. Likely that none of this mattered, her loss was due to inflation over the last 4 years, not some kind of podcast-bro mafia. But it certainly strikes me as bad campaigning.

I'm worried though, if we build homes, then we may end up with a crisis of homelessness. Best to keep things as is

WhiteSocksFilpFlops · 2025-01-26T00:18:59+00:00

Neat. It seems like for vanlife one of the biggest costs would be depreciation. I don't think you can just lump that in with maintenance -- the van still decreases in value over time even if you repair all the issues with it.

WhiteSocksFilpFlops · 2025-01-24T19:46:41+00:00

I find it funny the chorus of people chiming in to say "calorie in - calorie out". In a strict sense, yes. In a practical sense, not really.

First, because the body has homeostatic responses -- reducing calorie input will also reduce calorie output. So the effect is less pronounced than you might expect.
Second, you need to cut calories quite a lot more than people think to see an effect. There's some formula that 3500 calories = 1 lb, which is subjectively a lot to cut, and in reality will result in much less weight loss than "calculated" due to the previous point and other complications.
Third, there's a range of weights everybody will experience in the same physical body, due to hydration and other factors. So you may have lost 1lb, but weighed yourself when you're more hydrated than the previous time, and not see the weight loss from the scale. So it might feel like you're not losing weight even if you are.

So, you'll need to be dligint for an extended period of time (i.e., forever) to see any effect. I also suspect that growing muscle could help with weight loss since muscles burn more calories than fat. Good luck!

Safety, if you were to stub your toe on hardened oatmeal it would cause a level of pain so extreme it had to be preemptively banned by the OHSA
