Never forget how he got kicked out of Russia and next showed up in Afghanistan! He seems to have no risk-aversion. I’m almost half expecting him to pop up in Gaza next… He’s made some excellent insightful videos.

This was my original pick, I’ve heard there are some pretty serious allegations against him too which I’m in no position to properly evaluate. But I’ll keep watching with the benefit of the doubt for now because his videos are very interesting.

I successfully trained myself to wake up at the right time without an alarm. There are methods for doing that, I’ll elaborate on mine if there’s interest. It takes all the pain out of waking up.

Reminds me of this Mitchell & Webb sketch (warning for strong language)

think Heinz do some tinned puddings too? The cakey kind though rather than creamy stuff, mind

I also remember those (in the UK) - tinned sponge puddings - not seen them in several years though.

Page load: The biggest and I mean biggest reason someone leaves a page is page load speed. If you’re deep in researching some information, regardless of your internet speed or if the fault is on the user side and your page load is over 3 seconds, you will leave the site. Loading only 1/4 of the page helps with this along with other tricks like caching at the CDN and lazy loading.

The thing that always bothers me about this is that I’ve been using the internet since 90s dial-up, and even 90s dial-up never had a “page load speed” problem when loading text-based articles. An extremely conservative estimate is that modern broadband speeds are 1000x what they were then so “page load speed” is entirely about the design of the website, and it seems that mostly the excuse is “we want to spy on people”. Am I wrong? Otherwise why not write an HTML page that would be just as compatible with Geocities as it would now?

In the UK when there’s a green man (pedestrian crossing signal) it means that all traffic is stopped, and (though not officially recommended) you could cross diagonally and it’ll be fine. In the US and some other countries, it doesn’t seem to have that meaning, so other traffic may still have a green light or be allowed to pass a red light where pedestrians are being told it’s safe to cross.

Pedestrians very often get the green walk sign at the same time as cars in the same direction get the green straight ahead sign that implicitly allows right turns as well. In that scenario, the cars are often located just behind the pedestrian’s peripheral vision, and the cars are looking up and ahead at the light

It seems to me that that’s the wrong way round, if there’s no pedestrian crossing it’s safer to cross when the traffic is moving from the left-right of you than in front and behind you.

My suggestion is that pedestrian crossing signals should stop all car traffic in the junction and if no signal exists the guidance should be to cross where the traffic is visible (left and right) not when it comes from behind you.

To give a contrary answer; I think it would be a sign that Reddit has turned in the right direction and might actually become a good platform again. A reformed Reddit is infinitely better than whatever Meta are planning.

Which is of course why they won’t do it.

How about, I don’t want to sacrifice features that should be built into phones by default for camera or screen quality!

Depends what it’s on, they’re completely non-interchangeable.

Glad I bought AMD
