We didn't evolve to walk on concrete and asphalt, though.

Bowlers often like to use their own balls, so it would be more useful to have a system that doesn't rely on modifying the ball.


Look into Eversense 355 (implantable), it has so much better accuracy for my wife than the Libre and Dexcom CGMs she has tried.


No, the gloves leave stearates (not plastic, but similar looking particles) residue on contact. So there are not literally micro plastics flying off the gloves. Read the article.


The rest of the author's website is a bunch of games, so I'd say so.


Thank you, I didn't know about this and it's great information to have for reference!


Probably PowerPoint, based on the aspect ratio. Why do so many people not bother to use the Export feature and just go with a screenshot??


When I was in college, someone with the surname O'Dowd decided to spell it O Dowd on the poster, because "the computer puts red lines under it". Weirdly, my computer now is doing the opposite.


Isn't export a beer? And this tariff stuff. Do I have to pay taxes on my screenshot now? No Dave I like it the way I do it, it works for me and I kind of like the squiggly lines.


Hitching.


Yeah. If it isn't actually accompanied by emotions that suggest a cause, you really might want to see a doctor about that. If you also sleep on your side, go for the home sleep study if offered, it's worlds more convenient.


Is that the name for it? That word means "to attach" or "to marry" to me, lol


hitch

verb move (something) into a different position with a jerk. travel by hitch-hiking. informal obtain (a lift) by hitch-hiking. fasten or tether. harness (a draught animal or team). noun a temporary difficulty or problem. a knot of a particular kind, typically one used for fastening a rope to something else. a device for attaching one thing to another, especially the tow bar of a motor vehicle. an act of hitch-hiking. informal a period of service. informal

Slanguagely: "There is a hitch in your get-along", implying "there is a difficulty with your system/process/activity"


That's not what that means! If you want to put a hitch in my gitalong, for example, you might try a really saucy compliment.


I won't argue that the usage can change, and I could see how it could also be used to imply that one's posterior moves in a pleasing manner, but in my experience it has only been used to indicate an issue:

Marjorie Kimmerle & Patricia Gibby, "A Word-List from Colorado," in Publication of the American Dialect Society (April 1949) has this entry for the term hitch:

    hitch: n. A crick ; a limp. Used only in the expression "He's got a hitch in his git-along." Said of horses and people. OED, A limp, a hobble, an interference in a horse's pace.

Which experience would this be? That is a Stack Overflow link you posted. But I would expect such a footless prescriptivist to behave in just so ill informed a manner; excuse my short patience, I understand this actually is your best that you're showing.


Imagine an AI recipe building app that helps you create a recipe with certain ingredients, then generates an image of what the final product might look like.


Why do need to know what it looks like? Or are you publishing the recipe without cooking it?


Android runs Java, which runs on the JVM.


The VM that runs Linux is not implemented in Java. It uses a variant of KVM called pKVM. (pKVM allows for mutually distrusted execution environments: https://source.android.com/docs/core/virtualization/security.)


Debian code won't converted into Java bytecode, though, so it won't run on the JVM. If it's the ARM version, it'll probably just run directly on the CPU.


Uh, this is wrong on different levels.

The java bytecode gets translated to a different virtual machine, dalvik/dex (iirc) so no jvm involved.

Other than that, afaik, there’s also a native development kit if you need to call into native code (c/c++/whatever).
