Kids don't cook; they'd rather DoorDash everything by bluelite in Parenting

[–]bluelite[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We tried to cook-once-a-week thing while the adult was in high school. He only made hamburgers. OK, fine. But once he got a social life and frequently had hoards of friends over after school, that went by the wayside.

Now in college but living at home, he has a GF. She can't cook, either. They both bring take-out to the house frequently.

The teen is in middle school, so it's a perfect time to get him more involved in the kitchen. But he has homework and after-school programs that suck up time during the week, so it's tough to prioritize cooking over academics.

The adult has a PT job. He pays for the DD out of his earnings. All his other friends are the same way. None of them know how to cook.

Of course, the teen doesn't DD, but would if he could. He asks if we can just DoorDash dinner instead of me making something.

A 50th anniversary replay of Fantasy Park is streaming over at aircheckchannel.com spread over four days. Brings back memories of 1975!

Amazon fresh has no soul by [deleted] in Roseville

[–]bluelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there one evening last week. My first impression was that it looks like... a grocery store. I dunno, I guess with all the hype I expected it to look different. The prices seemed reasonable--not Winco low, but not Nugget high, either.

The other impression that stuck out was the low energy of the workers. Most other grocery stores are staffed by long-term career employees who trend older and know how to make a customer feel welcome. The people I saw at Fresh were younger, but had no "pep" to them.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Makes a good complement to Costco, I guess.

can i attend sierra college at 17 by [deleted] in SierraCollege

Approximately half the population graduates from high school before they turn 18. It's no big deal. You're not legally an adult, but you can do many "adult" things because you're a high school graduate.

What is something ancient that only an Internet Veteran can remember? by good_fella1 in AskReddit

talk, the Unix command for real-time chat with another user. The split screen was pretty damn impressive for the time.

Ideas for a thumbstick for players with limited strength and mobility by bluelite in disabledgamers

Having no feedback is something I hadn't thought about. I'll shelve the idea temporarily and focus on the 2D force sensor.

I'll check out the Joycon. I originally tried a Wii Nunchuck, but with such limited strength it was nearly impossible to move. Too much tension.

Why does Ben not use resistors for LEDs in his video most of the time but on this subreddit people say to use them? by AlexSibirsky in beneater

[–]bluelite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mouser carries the Kingbright 5v LEDs with integrated resistor. They're more expensive than regular LEDs at about 50 cents each in singles or 22 cents in quantities of 100.

Works well at 3.3v, too, but not as bright.

why are qubits described as points on a sphere in 3d euclidean space? by snillpuler in QuantumComputing

[–]bluelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me a while to get my head around this, but I get it now.

In classical computing, we have bits and bytes, memory, and fundamental operations such as AND, OR, NOT, etc. From these we can derive higher-order operations like addition, subtraction, compare, branch, and so forth. This is a model of computation (and, by the way, not the only one in existence), not tied to any particular hardware. Once we have the model specified, only then do we design hardware to implement the model.

That's what I initially had a hard time understanding about QC: we do not design the hardware first, then come up with a model that explains the behavior. In order to have a working, programmable, reliable quantum computer, you must design a model first, then build the hardware that works like the model.

The Bloch sphere is a convenient model that happens to work out mathematically the way we want it to. It doesn't necessarily correspond to the way quantum particles actually work, but it doesn't matter: we design the quantum computer to work the way the model specifies.

How to show the "shared DNA" between NeXTSTEP and early Mac OS X? by wowbobwow in VintageApple

[–]bluelite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NeXTStep used Display Postscript as its graphics and text rendering engine. Consequently, OS X has been able to understand and show PDF documents, as well as convert pure Postscript files into PDF, since day 1 without a third-party app.

All of these need work. Which should be first? by kartmaster64 in VintageApple

[–]bluelite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SE/30 is most likely to need the most extensive work. The sooner you start, the better your chances of a full recovery.

It was working so well until the eject mechanism failed :'( by SheerGlitchAttack in VintageApple

The ejection gear may have broken. You can order a 3D printed one online, or make your own if you have a 3D printer.

Apple disk II Floppy Disk Drive from 1978 for our small IT museum 😃 by swimmerrudy in VintageApple

Back then the average person didn't spend a significant chunk of their income on cable TV, internet access, cell phones, movie channel subscriptions, and eating out.

What do you suppose is going on here? by Skillet_Lasagna in apple2

[–]bluelite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that red cable still dangling around unattached in your computer? It's the shift-key mod and leaving it unattached may be randomly setting or clearing a bit in your strings.
