What is the benefit of running Python in Excel vs using Pandas for example?
CodeTheInternet··on G1 AR Glasses
You would still be holding eye contact (mostly) with the speaker. If the text were above or below, you would see to be looking off into space, which may be worse from the speaker's perspective.

CodeTheInternet··on The Presidential Nuclear "Football" from Eisenhower to George W. Bush
Thank you. Heard so much about this film and have never seen it.
CodeTheInternet··on The worst possible way to be rejected for a job
I'll take it. Better than email rejection after email rejection. At least you can elicit some feedback on a phone/video call.
CodeTheInternet··on Our Generation Ships Will Sink (2015)
Assuming the need is due to a catastrophe with Earth and not the Sun, why leave the solar system? If we can build a ship with resources that lasts generations, park it in Earth's (or another Sol planet's) L4 or L5. Going in search of another star seems foolish.

CodeTheInternet··on ProtonMail Complied with 5,957 Data Requests in 2022 – Still Secure and Private?
I use it expecting they will not sell my data to third parties or use it for things like AI training. I'd expect Google, Microsoft, etc to do this.
CodeTheInternet··on Texas rules requiring water breaks for construction workers will be nullified
I'm confused why there is even a law for this. Is there a law for bathroom breaks as well? Do t let any company treat you as less than a human being.
CodeTheInternet··on Scientists Identify How Many Trees to Plant and Where to Stop Climate Crisis
Is Western China really so mountainous to have that large area with relatively no trees?
CodeTheInternet··on Goodreads Is Broken
The Kindle ads are worse. I don't mind at all opening up my Kindle and seeing a book recommendation ... if its at LEAST in the genres I read. You would think Amazon would be on top of it.
CodeTheInternet··on Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
Go to your dealer. I wasnt notified but they had a type of limited warranty where they knew about it. The sensors were not installed correctly in some units. They replaced it for free.
CodeTheInternet··on “The books will stop working.”
My library has the option of "checking out" ebooks. They will "purchase" them and have a set "number of copies". I put all of these things in quotes as I'm not sure how its handled for essentially a digital file vs a physical paper book, or how the author/publisher/etc makes money in this deal.

CodeTheInternet··on Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
They introduce other problems than just distracted drivers.

I took in my Mazda3 to have the screen replaced. There was an issue with the sensors that mistakenly thought someone was touching the screen. At low speeds, when the toch screen re-activates, it would start navigating on its own; from changing music stations to calling people and changing GPS waypoints. Drivers trying to stop this will be more distracted than they otherwise would be. This happens at stop signs, red lights and slow-moving traffic.

CodeTheInternet··on Lego collecting delivers huge and uncorrelated market returns
Being originally from Chicago, I remember when the Sears Tower was in the process of the name change to Willis Tower. There was a Lego kit to make the Sears Tower (marked as such) and it was re-released with the Willis Tower naming. I believe we paid $19.99. We bought it purely for nostalgia purposes and keep it on the shelf unopened.

This article caused me to look into the kit. According to BrickLink[0], the average selling price is $148.83 One sold this month for $193

CodeTheInternet··on McDonald's Says Goodbye Cashiers, Hello Kiosks
I never worked in food service. I worked in retail (sales and stocking), delivery services, freight (un)load, construction trades and the military. Every one of those still exists, is not going away any time soon and qualifies as entry-level.

Does anyone know more details on what language this is, what the fix was, etc?

CodeTheInternet··on ICE Whistleblower interview with CBS interrupted by government agents
> Before the surprise visit, Schwab told Yuccas that both the Obama and Trump White Houses asked him to "spin" information.

If they would talk about how "both sides of the aisle" were doing this, it would make it non-partisan, more news outlets would discuss it, and maybe there would be actions taken.

CodeTheInternet··on One Woman Who Knew Her Rights Forced Border Patrol Off a Greyhound Bus
I feel really unsure about what exactly is and is not allowed by the Fourth Amendment, especially in this technological age we find ourselves. Is there some honest information out there?
CodeTheInternet··on CBS “60 Minutes” piece on Google’s abuse of dominance
That is because you are familiar with services Amazon and Yelp provide. There are a large number of people who do not. They may not know all of the different services (or want to shop around) so a "general" search on Google would be their starting point.
CodeTheInternet··on Ask HN: What, if anything, do you listen to while coding?
NIN "Ghosts" is fantastic
CodeTheInternet··on Ask HN: What, if anything, do you listen to while coding?
Vocals tend to pull my focus, and repeated phrasing in a lot of EDM is distracting. I find post-rock as a great genre for coding. I frequent the r/postrock sub-Reddit and keep yearly Spotify playlists updated with new releases [1].

I have also enjoyed combining jazz with a rain simulator like RainyMood [2]. Volume-balance them together and it's sublime.

CodeTheInternet··on Using the Web for a Day with JavaScript Turned Off
I'm glad he can code his brochureware site with minimal impact when JS is disabled. It is 2018 and every site is driven by JS, not just DOM events. If you disable JS, you know what you're getting into. Do we need to develop for those that decide to block CSS? Insist on deprecated browsers? You develop for your audience.
