Poland was never part of Soviet union.

Lem wasn't Soviet, he was Polish. It's strange he also considers Victor Pelevin to be a Soviet writer as all his novels were released after 1991.

I think a more interesting question would be whether the design actually makes any difference or if the airflow just depends on the free/unobstructed area.

Could you perhaps please list the courses you're referring to?

If you're in USA I'd just buy something local made. I've not used it personally but I've heard good opinions: https://www.amazon.com/Williams-WRS-1-Magnetic-Ratcheting-Sc...

For the same price you could get a Wera screwdriver, small screwdrivers and a bottle opener.

I love how far removed from reality these idealistic blog posts are from "technology thinkers".

You're busy? You shouldn't be so let me give you some cookie cutter advice filled with: "you need", "you should", "you could". More in my book.

I'd go further than this and say out of that 1% who create content further 99% shouldn't.

Which is ironic considering what they were doing in the 90s with the iMac G3.

Physical buttons will be definitely one of the more important criteria when buying a new car.

> I don't buy the implied (by absence) narrative that this was some kind of "accident" or motivated by only selfish economic forces.

“Huge amounts of chemical waste were probably dumped in the Oder River with full awareness of the risks and consequences,” he said in a video on Facebook. “We will not let this matter go. We will not rest until the guilty are severely punished.”

I'd have thought that these cloud providers would be pretty well insulated from the retail energy prices by their renewable energy generation.

When I encounter something new and hard I try to find a conference presentation around this topic. I'm guessing public speaking in a time constrained format really forces speakers to prepare well and provides the best time/information balance. Even better if there are questions from the audience that dig deeper into the why questions.

Could you post a link to the video? Is there a good summary of what this "metaverse" is and why it's worth a lot of money?

Reminds me of Cunningham's Law: "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

It's even more evident with climate change.

Is your book still relevant considering it was released 12 years ago? I typically avoid youtube videos and podcasts as the signal to noise ratio is not great.

Isn't this a satire?

> This is much more complex, because you are asking the application to setup some sort of workflow - after it understands what you want it to do, it then has to work out how to execute that, which will be utilising the device API's / services.

I don't see conceptually the difference between the first and the second example. You're still executing two distinct actions, first being the waiting for x amount of time?

I've tried to find a flaw with this argument and admittedly it's pretty hard. As long as you accept to pay a above the market price for the game and you don't care about retaining ownership then it somehow makes sense.

I'm guessing this value proposition is what made it unsustainable for Google.

This map is slightly misleading as the areas covered by the train stations are huge.

With the help of a bribe.

Especially since the removal of downvoting it's hard to get to good quality material. Majority of tech videos are a case of blind leading the blind and unless you know the subject already it's hard to spot.

Nowadays I start with a forum/reddit/discord/hn search for a list of hive approved creators and only then go to youtube with that list in hand. Starting the search in youtube (unless for a very niche/non-marketable topics) is close to worthless.

Benjamin P Hill memorial library is a reference to Benny Hill I assume.

You can get very good equipment for a lot less, Gaggia Classic + Baratza Encore will set you back around USD 700 new and will last for many years. If you want all in one Barista Express is about 500.

Couple of years ago I’ve tried a horse steak. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it tasted just like game or a lean beef steak. I doubt that most people would be able to tell the difference. It was also more expensive and harder to get than beef.

I never quite understood the point of these support forums. I’ve spent decades with in tech and I don’t even remember one instance when these forums have been useful. One phenomenon that is interesting is that there are always people with 15000 messages, some wierd titles like “approved”, “community gold member”, “not an employee of x” etc always with a signature “If I helped you click on thank you button” that spew absolute useless, no effort advice or ask crazy follow up questions that have nothing to do with the problem. What is the motivation of these people, what do they get out of this?

I think there is a lot of effort involved in staying up to date when you try to be a semi competitive player. When I played LOL a while ago I remember pretty much every 2 weeks there would be a new character with unique skills, changes to the characters skillset, new skins, new/removed items, meta changes etc, etc which you would have to learn to remain in a decent shape.

After not playing for a year I've had a couple of games and quickly lost interest as it was just not fun to learn this adjacent stuff. It's even worse when they have a complete rework of a character you enjoy playing. Since then I'm unwilling to invest any time into playing these quick changing games.

In the scale of moral wrongs, justifying, defending and enabling[0] this behavior is arguably as bad as the behavior itself.

What a despicable human being. He even lied about her crying and being grateful after he left her the flowers. https://youtu.be/BU6PlJmGNkM?t=75
