That seems very subjective, i’m more of the opinion clothes are far more practical nowadays, who wants to wear a suit in summer? It’s just not sensible

secretsatan commented on Ask HN: How many of you are working in tech without a STEM degree? · Posted by u/zebproj
I started working at eighteen, tbh I had lost my way schoolwise, but i had always been interested in computer graphics, CAD and was savvy enough to get my hands on software i perhaps could not have afforded that gave me some base skills that led from one job to another,
Sometimes i feel like working with CS people, and i’ve worked with some really good ones, so please don’t get me wrong, but sometimes i feel some have just done it because it’s a good career, and show zero interest or curiosity past their immediate positions.
> Today, almost 90% of Icelandic workers benefit from a reduced working week of 36 hours, compared with 40 hours previously, with no loss of pay.
> Unlike some countries, such as Belgium, where the four-day week means that hours not worked are compensated for by longer working days
40 hours/5 days = 8 hours per day
36 hours/4 days = 9 hours per day
The Icelandic workday increased from 8 to 9 hours, a 12½% increase. That sure looks like hours not worked being compensated for by longer working days.
That's a bit pedantic, trying to describe an overall decrease as an increase takes a real stretch

So basically Dwarves who were digging for mithril and other minerals and awakened Balrog. Im curious is there a map that maps Europe on to Middle-earth and what would the Baltic states be :)

Maybe I'm the crazy one, but I personally consider any group that worships nazis to be an extremist group. If they were in the US and hadn't done any kind of "extremist act" I would feel the same way.
Ukrainian Nazi groups apparently always had problems making connections with other Nazi groups because they were all pro-russia

I wonder why the Kinect is still so popular given the many more recent projects that have come to market, eg Realsense, Zed, Orbec.
I’ve recently been using the Realsense for robotics and they are satisfactory (although they have been drastically increasing in price for unclear reasons). I wouldn’t use Kinect because they are no longer being officially manufactured.
I still have a kinect, but I haven't used it in years, I have started looking at some of the stuff I used it for, and now, I would just use what's in an iPhone pro. Since the 12, the main camera has LiDAR, and apples SDKs can handle everything the Kinect used to do and more.
I notice the front page has links to twitter to read more. So Musk is already using this as means to enrich himself.
If you saw Trump's first term, saw the January 6 attack, saw the Project 2025 manifesto, and voted for him again, don't come looking for sympathy about fascism. The signs were all there and you voted for him a second time. This is on you, author of the article.
.....god, it keeps going. All of these signs were known well before you voted for him a second time.
