External SSD Recommendations?
  • For flexibility and size I like external m.2 enclosures. I have some from Sabrent, Orico and Rosewill. Of them all the Rosewill is the smallest, has the nicest build quality, and seems to dissipate heat the best.

    So I would recommend a Rosewill 9SIA072GJ92919, and add an NVMe SSD of your choice.

    I think your MacBook is Thunderbolt 2, so you won't get full speed but it should still be plenty fast. And this enclosure will give you TB3 speeds if you upgrade your PC later.

  • Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]
  • Fermented and spicy - how about some gochujang? It's like miso, but a Korean version with chili. Mix it with some good sesame oil and a splash of rice vinegar to lighten it up. Then put it with the tuna in your onigiri like you would the mayo. It's already salty, so no need to add salt.

  • Tesla owners in deep freeze discover the cold, hard truth about EVs
  • It's not that one charging location was down. It's that the current battery tech can't charge in cold conditions without using some of its own power to heat the battery cells. This means people need to anticipate the cold and charge earlier and more often than they typically do.

    Those who didn't were stranded.

    This is a real limitation of the current technology. Not a deal breaker for most people, but it's a learning curve and a potential inconvenience.

  • The Meeting at Křížky, 1916 - Alphonse Maria Mucha (1860-1939)
  • Part of his Slav Epic

    http://www.muchafoundation.org/en/gallery/themes/theme/slav-epic/object/221

    It's a huge canvas (~6m x 4m), and makes a massive impact when you see it.

    From that foundation page:

    "The Slav Epic' cycle No.10: The Meeting at Křížky. The Magic of Words: Sub utraque (1419) (1916) Following his death at the stake for his teachings, Jan Hus became a symbol of the Czech fight against the immoral conduct of the Catholic Church. Increasing numbers of Czech clergymen began to turn their back on papal rule and to deliver their sermons in the Czech language. They were declared heretics by the Papacy and the Council of Constance ordered that they be removed from their parishes. Charles University in Prague was also closed to ensure that their teaching ceased. Riots ensued and Hus’ followers began to gather in remote places outside the city walls in order to mount their rebellion.

    Mucha depicts the most important of these gatherings which took place at Křížky, south of Prague, on 30 September 1419. Koranda, a radical preacher, called on Hus’ followers to take up their arms to defend their faith. He stands praying on a makeshift pulpit facing the throngs of followers as they arrive at Křížky. The dark sky above announces the imminent devastation of the Hussite Wars."

  • Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes
  • In terms of language you are correct. But in terms of SI usage it seems to me OP is expressing it correctly. The SI unit prefixes have a name, a symbol and a multiplier. The prefix is a concept that encompasses all three of those attributes. So "kilo" is one way of identifying the 10^3 unit prefix, but the name kilo is not the prefix itself. It's just the name we use to refer to it. And the symbol k in km is certainly the unit prefix portion of that unit of measure.

  • [Thread] Recommend me devastatingly sad songs? Please?
  • Blue Valentines - Tom Waits

    107 Steps - Björk (this one is best after watching the movie "Dancer in the Dark")

    Gone Away - My Brightest Diamond

    Gloomy Sunday - Billie Holiday Or Gloomy Sunday - Sinéad O'Connor No comparison vocally, but if you like Sinéad the second has a lot of emotion.

    A Night Like This - The Cure

    Traveling Light - Leonard Cohen

  • I'm late to the party on this, but I would agree with the others that Raspberry Pi is not only overkill, but will make this more difficult than it needs to be.

    It's a great job for a basic microcontroller, and the code needed for that will be simpler. You just need something like an Arduino, some wire, a few resistors and 4 buttons. Look at any intro to Arduino introduction that gets to button presses (and debouncing). Here's a good guide from the start: https://learn.adafruit.com/ladyadas-learn-arduino-lesson-number-1/introduction

    If you want to follow a guide end to end and can customize the code, this might be a helpful starting point with a very compact board: https://learn.adafruit.com/arcade-button-control-box/overview
