It does appear on the ISO list though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes

The fact that the hardware needed for the heated seats is already there and you're paying to turn it on is the weird part. For BMW, the cost of the heated seats must be very low if they're prepared to install them in all cars without knowing if the consumer will pay for the them or now.

It's like buying a new laptop and paying to unlock additional RAM that is already installed, just not available. It would make me feel like the cost to the manufacturer is so low if they're prepared to risk it, that me paying for it after the fact feels like I'm getting ripped off (or that I've already actually payed for it in the original cost)

Åland Islands is the only other one I could see

Ordering by "Date Last Opened" or "Date Modified" does a fairly good job in some cases

Depends on the country. Here in Czech Republic that could go a fairly long way to building something interesting

Yes, and it's a massive difference. Using analog you can quickly manipulate all the knobs and sliders in front of you, often simultaneously. Using a mouse is always going to be less easy

In my opinion it's not so much the case of analog sounding better, it's about the difference in tangibility when I use analog gear and the focus on sound rather than the music theory.

When writing using software I spend far more time thinking about the music theory. This usually leads to pretty sterile sounding (but musically good) pieces.

When I write using analog I focus more on the sounds and how they work together, spending hours tweaking knobs and faders. There are far more "happy little accidents" when doing this, most of which I couldn't imagine doing with software since they are not planned. I write much more interesting music using analog.

It's similar to playing a real guitar versus a software guitar synth, there are weird little quirks and surprises when playing a guitar that can't be emulated with software.

The Red Blob Games website: "I make interactive visual explanations of math and algorithms, using motivating examples from computer games"

The interactive elements help so much in explaining complex ideas. An example post that is incredible is: https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/

Fairly random. There is no obvious reason to think that words frequency across different languages would be so similar when ranked. Why is it not the case that in language A the 2nd most popular word is used 90% as often as the first, and in language B the 2nd most popular word is used 70% as often as the first?

One would think with something like languages which are so complex and developed independently that there wouldn't be such a surprisingly consistent ratio.

And beyond language, it occurs in stuff city populations, the amount of traffic websites receive, last names, ingredients used in cook books, etc...

He spends a lot of time posting memes on twitter for someone who supposedly lives in the factory.

I would guess data recovery

Which game mode are you playing where you have that issue? I've played countless hours of Geoguessr and haven't noticed that

Awesome! The Quad Drum Voice also looks amazing. Where do I find prices? Would love to order

I wish Korg would also make these in eurorack format. At least this one looks easy enough to mod

What about Apple? I think most Apple products are incredibly beautiful

Here in Czech Republic some of the most popular YouTube videos are tram dashcam compilations. Featuring exciting moments like "car is parked too far into the road and obstructs the tram, owner has to move it" and "tram rings bell at tourist unknowingly standing on the track".

Looking at the state of the world, I'm happy that that's often as much excitement as we need here.

A small subset of typos. bob@mail.com and bob@mial.com will pass the same validation rules.

Off topic, but the scrolling on that site is completely borked. Please, for the love of all that is good, don't mess with default scrolling behaviour on websites

Surely invoking an error message saying "CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages have drifted out of tolerance" would be more simple and more clear to the user. Anyone have any insights into the point of playing a song?

Apparently it has apparently been “demoted” within Google. The rumour also says it's getting renamed to Google Stream and will be licensed out to other companies to build their own game streaming platforms. I don't think any of this has been confirmed, so take it with a pinch of salt

Those twitter threads you linked are right wing conspiracy theory trash

It's all relative to cost of living.

If it wasn't for the Apollo reddit client I would have stopped using reddit a long time ago. I used to use it mostly in the browser on my laptop/desktop, but it has become unusable even when using old.reddit.com (and plugins to force old.reddit.com).

I now only use it as an app on my phone which has ruined a lot of the conversation because it's far more cumbersome to type on mobile, as well as stuff like switching between browser/reddit to copy a link or quote something on the web is a pain on mobile.

I'm surprised there isn't a growing competitor to reddit at this point (that I know of)

I do the daily mini crossword on the Times crossword app with my morning coffee. I try beat it in under a minute (21 seconds is my personal record). It's not particularly challenging, but I treat it like morning stretches for the mind, it definitely helps get the brain warmed up.

Apple watch has a Walkie-Talkie feature

If I was not 100% confident in performing this transaction (which I would never be) I would send $1 as a test before sending the other $499,999. Is there a technical reason preventing one doing a test transaction first?

For enterprise level stuff, Drupal. Drupal development is a pain in the ass, but it's incredibly powerful, has a great community, and has a huge focus on security. But for the average blog/site, Drupal is overkill and too technical for what most people need
