Maillard reaction is pretty awesome

We also don't talk about the fact that the only humans that were saved was a family. Who repopulated the earth.

Like, with Adam and Eve and their offspring, the implication is that they inbred because literally no other humans existed. Still pretty gross, but the second time it happened was just abject laziness on God's part. Like your omnipotent ass couldn't have at the very least picked a few more families.

Dunning Kruger curve. The people who know the least about a topic speak the most confidently about it.

While blockchain is well defined, it in itself is not a product but a technology. I think what the other commenter is getting at is that simply saying something "is blockchain" means very little because what the blockchain does depends on the implementation, so when used in marketing it's just a nebulous buzzword in that it doesn't actually give you much information about what the product is. Same with terms like cloud, AI, virtual reality, etc.

Pfft imagine using a mouse to code.

I mean you can boot Linux entirely from RAM

I love the translucent vibe. It shows exactly what makes the device work which the nerd in me just can't get enough of. Nowadays it seems like tech companies are more and more trying to hide the actual electronics and technology aspect of their products and marketing them more as magic black boxes.

Though, with the caveat that the computer stuff is integrated with the CRT which stores a potentially deadly high voltage for quite a while after being unplugged. Which doesn't mean it's not repairable, it certainly is especially by an independent shop with trained technicians, but it was still very clearly not meant to be repaired by the user with no prior experience. IIRC there were older Macs with integrated monitors that had the computer parts more or less separated from the monitor parts, which were comparatively safer.

Mind you, this carried over to fairly recent iMac models, because up until the M1 iMacs, they had their power supply as just a bare PCB right beside the motherboard with no separate enclosure, and modern switched mode power supplies also have capacitors that store deadly voltages long after being unplugged (as in, higher voltages than from the wall, they step up the voltage before stepping it back down which allows them to use more energy efficient components). While there's a lot to dislike about discrete power adapters for everything, they are definitively safer especially for people doing repairs because all the dangerous high voltage stuff is self-contained and separate from the actual device itself (and allows you to very easily replace the power supply with zero disassembly).

So I'm not posting this in this community because I think the old way of having no rules of movement is better with the current state of car infrastructure, obviously it's not and the rules are what keep cars from being even more deadly. But I'm just saying, the old system worked really well right up until cars showed up, and if we pedesterianized the streets again we can ditch those complicated rules and mostly rely on common sense navigation like we used to.

Nah they only support game controllers.

No, and that's what the video attempts to show with real-world comparisons in Montreal.

The video mentions the common claims of why highrises are lower density than low rises and directly responds to them.
