I use it on my laptop because it doesn’t nuke my laptop’s battery like all other browsers. So it’s a bit of a shame.

Well I mean you still

Damn is that expensive though. But I think Amazon sells at a discount to make money on the bookstore.

futureproof

Interesting low-cost measure to not use a front-derailleur

The S2 model aimed to give riders an uphill climbing gear but without introducing the complexities of a gear-shifting derailleur, tensioned cables, and handlebar shifters. Engineers at SRAM came up with a solution that’s hard to imagine for other bikes but not too hard to grasp. A freewheel in the back has two cogs, with a high gear for cruising and a low gear for climbing. If you pedal backward a half-rotation, the outer, higher gear engages or disengages, taking over the work from the lower gear. The cogs, chains, and chainrings on this bike are always moving, but only one gear is ever doing the work.

Probably not of much use but I thought it was cool

Well it doesn’t seem like there’s been another Reddit exodus, especially from looking at the user numbers for Lemmy. There hasn’t been a big screwup lately like with Meta or Twitter (but I think Bluesky is absorbing the Twitter refugees currently).

Of course, but it’s entirely unrelated to the body of the article.

When they write “college” in the image I think they mean university, not CEGEP. University is still a good ways from free, being $4k-$5k/yr. And that’s just for in province students, it’s more for non-Quebec but still Canadian students.

In Germany (and maybe the other listed countries but I’m less informed on them), university is free as well. I think it also doesn’t depend which state you’re from.

Absolutely. This has made me acutely aware that my days with MS are numbered.

For existing customers, the price hike won’t be kicking in until plan renewal, and there are options to downgrade the plan. Those who want to avoid using AI can downgrade the plan to the “Classic” or “Basic” Microsoft 365 plans.

Thankfully we can roll back to the “Classic Family Plan” without the AI features. But annoying that they automatically switched plans and I had to switch back. If I didn’t see this article I’d be up for a big price hike when it renewed.

I used the textbook as Oppenheim in my graduate DSP course, with the textbook by Proakis as a secondary reference. I don’t really love the Oppenheim book. I’m not super familiar with the Proakis DSP book as a result, but I think his textbooks on Communication Systems and Digital Communications are very well written. The Van Trees I find really well written and I really like (however the topic is also most interesting to me). All of them require you to study them though, I’m not sure what you mean by that.

Really depends what you are into. For general concepts, Discrete-Time Signal Processing by Oppenheim and Discrete Signal Prcessing by Proakis are standard textbooks.

If you’re interested in communication or radar systems, array signal processing is very closely linked with discrete signal processing but with more linear algebra and statistical concepts. Optimum Array Processing by Van Trees is a great textbook for this.

OK but what if we had one monkey typing away for every real number between zero and one?

Those numbers are not additive.

If you assume that 50% of voters are Democrat and 50% are Republican, then you’d average them to get an idea of what percentage of Americans believe in that.

Huh? Per the quoted text in your post:

12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same if she loses.

It’s totally obscene. I traveled to the USA recently for 5 days and my options were:

i) Pay Telus $14/day * 5days = $70 (plus tax)

ii) Buy a US 30GB 10-day esim for $11.27 taxes included.

Plus in option i) I’d be using the data from my own data plan. Unless you really need to be able to use SMS and receive calls, it’s really a no brainer. Especially with how easy esims are to setup, I just had to switch a setting in my phone when I crossed the border. Crazy part is, if it was ``only" twice the price, I’d probably have just paid Telus.

Yes I agree. To me this sends the message ``best case you keep the money, worst cause you have to pay it back." No true penalty.

The $38.9 million fine Cineplex has now been handed is equivalent to the amount it collected from consumers through the $1.50 online booking fee between June 2022 and December 2023.

This is already way harsher than corporations usually get but I can’t help but wish it was more that all they got because they come out with no actual loss.

GOG’s refund policy is good enough that preordered games can get refunded anyways if they are poor. The ability to preload was worth preordering considering the practically zero downside with GOG. I could have refunded after playing but my computer was powerful enough to push through and still have the performance not be too poor except in a select few areas.

But regardless of the preorder situation, suggesting that this is things done right and we complain too much because there were 4 years of updates improving the state still is a strange stance to take. A game shouldn’t be released in a state that it needs 4 years of updates for most users.
