I have this "MX Anywhere 3" mouse and the scrolling wheel has electronically adjustable resistance (can be toggled completely off and then the wheel says wheee).
Pretty damn nice and convenient.

You've got bigger problems if you boot so many times per week that that's a real problem.

Slackware has never enabled CONFIG_SMB_SERVER in any kernel.

Our nissan leaf '16 has heat pump and it's the fastest-heating car we've ever owned. The interior is warm much faster than with an direct-mains additional heater (800-1600W, car models) or my volvo with a gas-fueled eber heater (though that one is not direct internal air but for the engine). This is in temperatures of 5c to -10C. Unfortunately the battery on the leaf is only 30kWh so the range drops off steeply below -10c, though still enough for the town rides.

What an absolute fucking abomination the taskbar is right now. Absolutely unusable on anything close to widescreen. It's just so stupid on 16:9 and 21:9 screens.

Look, with the speed of innovation in the plastics recycling, pointing at P&T eposode is like searching for car design tips in Popular Mechanics from 1934.

Thus spake the master programmer:

> corporations should be able to manage their employees as they see fit

Say what? Where that comes from? They're vastly overpowered with what comes to almost any single person. It doesn't make sense that they should be able to do absolutely anything "as they see fit". This doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Clearly it's Large Hadron Colliders all the way down.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

You're in the middle of the pandemic and your burndown charts are slightly down?

This is really not WFH situation. So many people have to do extra things on top of the WFH.

If anything things going relatively well only shows the power of WFH.

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.
