@jon_newby i've been online continuously since 1994. I can absolutely assure you that in all real world practice, the concept of a "filter bubble" was invented by the annoying dickheads to try to get you not to block them.

Also have you seen this neat little #OpenSCAD program that you give it a list of screw hole locations and it automatically generates a 3D printable PCB mounting frame baseplate with standoffs? It's really slick!

Young, an 84-year-old jurist appointed by Reagan, seemed taken aback by the manner of the students' arrests.

He said he's "not accustomed to" law enforcement without IDs, approaching people masked and without a warrant.

Here’s what Senator Raphael Warnock said to Kristen Walker on “Meet the Press” yesterday when she tried to get him to answer questions about Joe Biden.

“Here's what we absolutely know about last year's election: it's over. And I'm gonna spend all of my energy focused on the task in front of us ... they are literally trying to take healthcare away from children."

That’s exactly how you answer that. More of it from the rest of the party.

I encounter so many inaccessible apps developed with Electron and I wonder why: Are developers limited in what they can do compared to the web? Is there automated testing that could be done, but generally isn’t? Does Electron just suck? I thought maybe it’s my choice of apps, but I’m talking about numerous... steves.life

@lauren One of our friends who does a lot of interview/podcasts has noticed (as have many of us) that people usually have terrible audio setups - bad microphones, noise rooms with lots of echo, etc. So she sends the interviewees decent, but inexpensive, microphone/headset to use. It can be surprising how much better even a bad network link can get when a headset is used - the link does not have to handle the gunk packets that are generated when a person's microphone can hear that person's speaker, and those echo suppression algorithms don't have to kick in and create audio artifacts.

For anyone following at home, SciPy to the rescue — specifically `binomtest` from `scipy.stats`, which for `binomtest(106, 190, 0.5, alternative="greater")` returns a 𝑝-value of 0.0637. This is to say that there's a 6.37% probability to get 106 heads out of 190 tosses of a fair coin. Commonly, we'd start looking into things if that probability were below 5%.

So, even the result in the 45+ cohort isn't statistically significant; more data would be needed.

I also could not help myself and bought another Z80 while I was there. This will look fantastic mounted on the wall in RC2014 Towers when I move in.

Mike is sold out of Z80 at the moment, but has a variety of other vintage chip art available and will have the Z80 back in stock again soon. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GeekyArtByMike
