Many/most online clothes retailers now include detailed measurements of their apparel. Buy a soft tailors measuring tape on Amazon for a few dollars and you can get very precise fits, actually much better than buying in person I find.

In addition, there's a huge focus now on material, both in the niche digital-only nerd-friendly companies like Outlier, Mission Workshop and Taylor and Stitch but in more mainstream companies like Banana Republic.
Yeah, that's when things work well. But soon someone finds a use-after-free in that code et voilà now he has full control[1] over the engine.

[1] OK, maybe not full control over the engine because that's not how it works, but it has full control over the embedded monitoring system, which is still pretty bad.

How do you manage files in windows at all without drag and drop? Do you just never reorganize anything?

Nobody is talking here about exercise.

There is some misconception that “old ways” were healthier and they weren’t.

> Not sure what you mean by "gfx switching", as far as I know all 12" Macbook have only a integrated graphics card, no discrete graphics card.

With the Macbook Pro I get less battery life with Windows 10 because Apple forces Windows to only have access to the discrete graphics card. OSX can switch between the two so it's more efficient.

With the Macbook 12" I get more battery life, it seems Windows 10 is more power efficient than OSX. (I got the same as OSX when running Windows 7)
It is a false impression in the sense that it is not what is claimed here.

That's true. I also have a first gen functional iPod Touch from 2007. It's not a codec issue, Netflix doesn't support that version of the authentication API.

As I said in another post, comparing the longevity of a mobile device in its first decade to a PC is Apples and Oranges.

Today, I have a few 10 year old computers that are still being used either by me or my parents. My 10 year old PC, I'm using as a plex server can use modern USB 2 peripherals, has gigabit Ethernet that takes full advantage of my gigabit internet, runs a modern OS (Windows 10), etc. It has a 1920x1200 display. It has 4Gb RAM but can be upgraded to 8. 10 years later, most consumer PCs come with 8GB.

Now in 2008, my Gateway Solo from 1998 with an 800x600 display, 16Mb RAM, no USB, and a 4GB hard drive would have been useless. It definitely couldn't run modern software.

But going back to iPads. Compare the longevity of the iPad in 2010 running iOS 5 with a 2007 iPod Touch that came out 4 years earlier. On the other end, compare the longevity of an iPad 2 that got upgraded from iOS 5 to iOS 9 to the first gen that only got upgraded from iOS 3 to iOS 5. I fully expect to see the usefulness of mobile devices - at least on the Apple side where you actually get OS updates to continuously lengthen.

If by "hobby" you mean "not making you money", then yes - in the same sense as just about like every startup in existence.

If by "hobby" you mean doing something for fun or personal growth, with only vague - if any - expectations of future usefulness, then no. SpaceX was aimed at getting us to Mars from the day 1; it's their entire raison d'être. Musk bootstrapped it with his own cash because he also set this goal - getting humanity to Mars.

If by "hobby" you mean doing something meaningful instead of just making moar money - then sure.

For small/solo projects I prefer to use a notebook with the first few pages reserved for an index. I complement it with a kanban board on the wall (post-it notes).

What I like about it:

No procrastination in a management tool (over-planning, formatting, etc).

No illusion of order (technology/computers have a tendency to make you appear disciplined, or to pretend you will be more disciplined by using them… I think it's bullshit. Discipline is a core skill, not the ability to use a tool).

No software can provide the feel of moving a post-it note to the "Done" column. Physical data (pages) is also supposed to help memorization.

The fact that the basic elements of Windows 95's GUI have survived for so long shows, I think, how well designed it was.

For its time it was a great design that was intuitive to understand, relatively lightweight and did not get in my way. About the only changes I think improved things notably were the search field in the Start menu and Aero Snap.

It's not clear that the poster I replied to is using fbs - I'm assuming not.

But in any case fbs doesn't mention some useful bits. Does freezing work reliably with all packages (is it different to the canonical packages for freezing Python binaries)? In my experience some libraries just wouldn't freeze - matplotlib was a pain. How big are the output binaries? The Qt libraries are large enough without chucking in Python as well (even a minimal install is quite big).
Great question as the animal is already dead.

Depends on how strict the vegan is to the letter (you can almost compare it to a religious -ism). A vegan doesn't eat any product containing ingredients from a dead or alive animal. For some, it goes as far as "using" instead of "eating" (IMO that gets ridiculous cause would you accept money from a meat eater?). As you can see, there is not one agreed upon definition.

As for the specific subject you brought up see roadkill cuisine [1]. Fur is made from roadkill as well. I'd expect that is more common than eating roadkill, but I am unsure.

There's a vocal part of the vegan community ("vocal vegans") who dislikes all of the above. Its like the mob. How big the group exactly is, I don't know, and they give vegans at a whole a bad name. Make no mistake though: they do not represent the vegan community at a whole.

I'd recommend looking at the work the LLVM team have done on this. [0] for example and there is a Youtube video from one of the LLVM confs if I recall correctly.

Yeah, as was pointed out in /r/programming, it is perhaps an imperfect title in hindsight!
SpaceX goal with the Falcon 9 is to be able to land, simply check the core (the engine gets more complicated checkups), and to have it back on the launchpad within of a few days or weeks.

Arianespace (a major european launch company, known for the Ariane 5) has developed their own new engine concept for reusability, which is designed to be restarted unlimited times. Once Prometheus flies, they’ll not only have a reusable rocket comparable to the Falcon 9, but one that can fly, land, be refueled without checkup, and immediately fly again.

SpaceX also aims for that in the long run, but not in the Falcon 9 series itself.
That statement also struck me -- it's not like "techies" are normally treated unfavorably?
It's the paradox of fashion. We want to look different, but other people want us to look the same (that's why people in uniform are considered more attractive).
The rocket ran out of engine igniter fluid. It had enough to light the centre engine, but not the two side engines.

That seems to imply they were trying to do a 3-engine landing, which they tested recently in the 'failed to expend the rocket' incident. This might explain why they miscalculated the igniter requirement since they don't have much experience with 3-engine landings.

Org-mode also offers tagging support.

If you add it to your agenda, you can filter things out by tags.

Org mode also has excellent mobile support. All your todo items, schedules etc. can also be viewed in your phone.

Another plus-side is that it is completely text based. You don't have to worry about internet access, operating system, age of the machine, the medium you want to use.

You can quickly export org-mode schedules as pdf/tex/html/txt etc.

If you cannot meet your schedules, you can make a note yourself on why you couldn't meet it and simply reschedule.

The core functionality of org-mode is actually simple. I'd suggest giving org-mode a chance.

1) Create an org document
2) Set some tasks as headlines
3) make them todo items by typing C-c C-t
4) schedule them to a certain date with C-c C-s
5) add the org-file to your agenda by C-c C-[

And you've got a working project schedule.

> being vegan will drastically reduce your "animal footprint"

The biggest difference to animal death one can make is going vegetarian. But even someone who goes reducetarian is already decreasing their personal and the global footprint. The difference between vegetarian and vegan is much smaller however.

Most people are carnists/omni. For them, vegan is a long shot. If we lower the barrier and stop with this defeatist all or nothing approach we can slowly but surely reduce animal suffering.

Do you tell your kid who's running first time that they're not quite yet a marathon runner? No, you don't do that either.

Set lower standards instead. For yourself, and society. The lower barrier of entry will feel welcoming and allows carnists/omnis to try delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes. Because, yes, those do exist.

Seeing how my elderly parents use the computer: you don't manage files. At all.

Right click is evil, keyboard shortcuts are evil, drag and drop never occurs to them. Mom usually just reads her emails (and attachements open in the browser nowdays), so it's not a problem, but father saves files.

If he finds something important then he saves it multiple times, so in the file list view there will be multiple similar items, that's how he knows it's important (visually it's very distinctive). When he has to copy a file somewhere else he usually fires up his CAD software, opens the file and then saves it elsewhere.

I just gave up "educating" them (after countless attempts). It's pointless. I remove file duplicates half a year, copy stuff to an usb key when he asks me (I visit them once a month) and avoid the machines like the plague, unless they explicitly ask me to do something (I installed ubuntu for mom, which works wonderfully for her, one less problem to worry about).
