> Apple VPs Greg Jozwiak and John Ternus explained in an interview to a Chinese content creator on Billibilli (spotted and machine-translated by ITHome) that the main reason the power button is on the bottom of the 2024 Mac Mini is because of the computer’s size. Since it was nearly half the size of the previous generation, the underside was “kind of the optimal stop” for a power button. They also say most users “never use the power button” on a Mac, anyway.

> Apple isn’t wrong here. The Mac mini measures 5 x 5 x 2 inches, compared to 7.75 x 7.75 x 1.4 inches from the last generation; it takes up much less space on your desk, which is great. The trade-off is that you run out of space for some important things, like a power button.

There are many levels in between tracking at the "Amazon" level vs the "Meat:Pork" level. For example I currently track all unprepared food shopping as "Groceries", and would break down "Amazon" shopping into categories such as "Electronics" or "Books".

Ultimately it comes down to how much effort you want to spend categorising spending, but there are many levels of granularity and orthogonal dimensions to slice against

I find the distinct property much more interesting and non obvious.

It looks like non consecutivity is only there to force unique solutions hence called zeckendorf representations

Non consecutive isn't surprising, any consecutive Fibonacci numbers in the sum can be replaced with their sum, which is itself a Fibonacci number by definition

Redundancy may be the method they implied. I've seen it happen to my partner and several colleagues. It's laughable how easy it seems to tailor a redundancy to 1 or a few specific people, and the cost of fighting it is not worth it.

From the article

  Intel said Thursday that the company will lay off more than 15 percent of its workforce  

and

  Intel will cut roughly 15,000 of its 131,000-employee headcount, most by the end of the year

15% of 131,000 is ~20,000, so are there more to come or is workforce =/= headcount?

Frequency is constant, wavelength changes and so does velocity, from wikipedia refractive index

> The refractive index, n, can be seen as the factor by which the speed and the wavelength of the radiation are reduced with respect to their vacuum values: the speed of light in a medium is v = c/n, and similarly the wavelength in that medium is λ = λ0/n, where λ0 is the wavelength of that light in vacuum. This implies that vacuum has a refractive index of 1, and assumes that the frequency (f = v/λ) of the wave is not affected by the refractive index.

The landing page is light on details, from the about page in the browser it is based on Microsoft Edge WebView2 [1] and a blog post from last year [2] says

> It’s not a “fork” of any other browser code; all the code, from tab and bookmark management to our new tab page to our password manager, is written by our own engineers. For web page rendering, the browser uses the underlying operating system rendering API.

A politician may be more or less qualified than the business owner, but they don't have the obvious conflict of interest and are more likely to act in the interest of the locality as a whole

large trailers have their own braking system that bypasses most of the forces going through the hitch, so you use energy from the car to pull the trailer uphill but don't get much of it back when going downhill

Which sounds to me like a good reason to publicly fund it in the first place

Furthermore, what is this kind of chart called? How was it laid out? Is it a one off manual kinda deal.

Does this even have any advantages over a pie chart? IIRC people are not good at judging relative area at all, even circles. How much does un-wedging the pie help?

At least with a pie chart you can try to compare arc length which may be easier?

That's because "real knots" depend heavily on the material they are tied in.

Many knots that work well in a hemp rope won't hold in slippery dyneema, even fewer will hold in fishing line.

Mathematics wouldn't be the right field to investigate with such physical properties, so they simplify and remove the need for those properties altogether. Mathematical rope is infinitely stretchy and slippery.

Kids learn to read with children's books, not by reading Ulysses

So it's not free to camp, we'll end up with centralised mega hosters (seedboxes in the tracker analogy) and in practice travelers will be too small time to actually be able earn any credits

1 host = 1 credit looks like a problem, similar to how it can be hard to build up ratio on well established private torrent trackers. The distribution of credits will not be even with many hosts building up credits for some nebulous future trip. How do those actually travelling around earn credits past the first 3 complimentary?

Bonus point systems or just ignoring ratio solved this from my pov for trackers, the 1 to 1 ratio stood out as something that would need a solution long term.

I had some issues with Jellyfin that weren't due to transcoding, still not sure what the cause was.

I had a 2nd gen chromecast that would play half a second and fail, something to do with the data format I think as there was some shenanigans with changing the media container but no real transcoding happening. Solved by getting a newer chromecast which was a nice upgrade anyway.

I also had problems playing on my phone, the integrated player in the app would play video fine while the UI was interacted with, so tapping continuously worked. The picture would freeze up though. Playing through the web UI on the phone worked fine, but I prefer the app. Changing the media player from the integrated to externally through VLC solved that.

So I've found it a bit rough in some cases for me, but there are a ton of Jellyfin apps with nice UI. The core work (transcoding etc) is done by ffmpeg by all the big players (plex, emby, jellyfin) so don't expect much differentiation there.

No one said wifi is the only thing they need, of course that is absurd

Most trips are over a short distance (less than three miles!) and are easily covered by bike or other non-car method [1]

I don't have stats but would wager that an even larger proportion of trips are not carrying more cargo than could fit in a backpack either.

Car dependency is an enormous burden on the least well off

Cycling and walking are active and would have a net benefit if more people switched away from sedentary driving.

Bike brakes and shoe soles don't have to slow down thousands of kilograms of mass either, so the wear and subsequent particulate emissions are much less than a car.

The coverage by service for tv/movies is so much worse than games/audio, that's what makes it a service problem.

Netflix was killing pirating when it had "everything", pirating is seeing a resurgence as the landscape becomes more fractured.

Speed is only one aspect, comfort is the main benefit for me. The biggest change in comfort I found going from row stagger to ortholinear, then a small bump again going column stagger and low profile
