- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 5 weeks ago:
I prepare my coffee in a cup, and drink it with grounds. No milk, no sugar.
I am an embedded developer.
Sometimes when I’m too lazy to boil water, I leave coffee grounds with cold water in a cup overnight, the coffee is strong enough in the morning, and no need to wait for it to cool.

Just tried it. Way too hardcore. I was thinking of games more like Tesla Force or Space Marshals.
- Comment on Get some quality twin-stick shooters in the latest Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
I don’t want to replay Fallout 2, I want some twin-stick shooters with comfortable touch controls. As much as emulators on Android improved, they usually provide poor touchscreen experience.

They did sell Android games like seven years ago.

- Comment on What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices? 2 months ago:
You can install Linux on rooted phones using Linux Deploy, or you can install Linux-in-an-app such as Userland or Termux if you don’t have root.

I’ve seen several curated recommendation websites born and die over the years. I’m surprised that MiniReview still works.
There’s also slant.co and multiple blogs like AndroidPolice, although they all now feature sponsored content - ads for shitty Android games.

- Comment on What type of scam is this? 4 months ago:
It’s just bots bypassing bot filter. Most platforms now restrict activity of new user accounts to combat spam, so bot farms create new accounts, create some spam posts, wait two-three months until these accounts become unrestricted, then post some political ads en masse.

Unfortunately, Avogadro died 22 years before the first telephone switch was built, so the concept of ‘number’ did not quite exist then.

I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.
I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.
Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.

- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 7 months ago:
Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.
Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.
When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.
But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.

- Comment on 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sens as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet... 9 months ago:
Yup. 5G is LTE with more frequency bands.
Just slap one more antenna into your phone, that’s how we’re increasing network speed.
- Comment on 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sens as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet... 9 months ago:
ITU defined 4G in 2008 as wireless connectivity with speed of 100 megabits per second for mobile users and 1 gigabit per second for stationary users.
LTE never achieved such speeds. It did not stop mobile operators from calling their service 4G.
ITU since then revised their definition to lower the required network speed.
5G was supposed to have network speeds of 10 gigabits per second. ITU however wisened up and are just defining it as ‘fifth-generation wireless’, because the mobile operators will butcher the definition anyway.
- Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages? 11 months ago:
You have to print a separate label for each bottle size then. Much easier to print something like ‘10% strength’ and slap the same label on all of your barrels and bottles regardless of their volume.
