z3dd··on Flowers for Algernon (1965) [pdf]
I haven't read Brave New World, but this immediately reminded me of The Gods Themselves with Rationals, Emotionals and Patentals.
z3dd··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
Well then, with that argument you can also stay with apple store and leave those second, third and fifth stores alone for those who want them.
z3dd··on Leaving LinkedIn
I bet in most places it all starts with a new innovative system of (self) assessment that relies on number of features/VI/KPI tied to promotions.
z3dd··on The humble brilliance of Italy's moka coffee pot (2018)
If you want an upgrade check 9barista. Same form-factor as bialetti but it makes an actual espresso with right temperature and pressure. And it even comes with an adapter plate for gas burner.
z3dd··on The humble brilliance of Italy's moka coffee pot (2018)
It's closer to cezve/ibrik than to espresso in a sense that it cooks coffee at 100 degrees whereas the standard temperature for espresso is around 93, which results in more finer flavours in the coffee comparing to the basically burnt one.
z3dd··on Wasm3 entering a minimal maintenance phase
It's not about braces, it's about the missing free statement.
z3dd··on Things I learned from teaching
I think 18-24 is just way too young for most people to study at a university (at least math/physics-based ones). I don't have a better solution, but only about 6-7 years after graduating I realized I would then have enjoyed these classes and learned from them much much more.
z3dd··on Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists
I still use it, it's fine, but with enough annoyances that leaves me thinking if the grass is greener elsewhere.
z3dd··on Get Offended More (2020)
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
z3dd··on BMW, Subaru and Porsche drivers 'more likely to cause a crash', study finds
FWIW research data is almost 10 years old. (2011-2015)
z3dd··on Omegle 2009-2023
> But presumably you wouldn't be able to get an app for it in any app store

Which would also filter out all non tech savvy people, for better or worse.

z3dd··on Meta's Mandatory Return to Office Is 'A Mess'
Unions are not the solution to the RTO policies by itself. At least Austria and Germany have unions, and RTOs are rolled out same as in the US with no unions.
z3dd··on Black holes keep 'burping up' stars they destroyed years earlier
> Cendes and the team don't know what's causing black holes to "switch on" after many years, but whatever it is definitely does not come from inside the black holes.
z3dd··on Programmers should not call themselves engineers (2015)
it's a thing already https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Philosophy
z3dd··on DIY Espresso (2020)
Standard brewing/extraction time for V60/kalita/kemex is 3.5 min plus about 1 min of preparation (which is still not a lot).
z3dd··on DIY Espresso (2020)
> But a Bialeti is sufficient if you don't want to drop thousands on espresso machinery.

Or 9barista/cafelat robot
