Why are Australians in denial about how cold our homes really are? ‘Winter stoicism’ is partly to blame | Reena Gupta

Jump

  • I've had no heating this winter, but have developed a love affair with wool. Beanie, jumper, fingerless gloves, scarf, blanket, uggs. There have been times I've been too hot. Dog has a jacket. Guess I am in denial :)

    That said I do enjoy visiting friends who have heating. Luxury!

    • Philippines plans to siphon off oil cargo from sunken tanker to avert ‘environmental catastrophe’

    Jump

  • Wouldn't you need to be lower than the depth of the sunken tanker for syphoning to work?

    • [Q] do all premium headsets Samsung/Bose/Sony have “okay Google” wake-word for hands free assistant?

    Jump

  • If Bose does I'm unaware of it. Then again I never turn that kind of function on if I am aware of it.

  • TIL!

  • Perhaps I should pretend I have a piece of Nokia cell network equipment. I still don't know anyone else with one.

  • Oh, oops. Guess it's clear I didn't read the article!

    • Remember guys: Your frenulum is just for friends.

  • TIL!

  • I'm using one and it's pretty good all round. That said I don't know anyone else with one.

  • There's also one in the mouth under the front of the tongue. Shower thought still holds for that one too!

  • And Wordle

    • You just got in a major car crash. What's the most ironic song you'd have playing.

    Jump

  • Ratcat - Car Crash. Time to reminisce.

    • Canceled Fallout game Van Buren rebuilt and playable now thanks to mod

    Jump

  • Had a look to see how easy it was to get it up and running on the stream deck. I'm a massive Fallout fan, but it was just all too hard at this stage.

    • What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?

    Jump

  • This has been bothering me too. Hope you get an answer.

    • The GOP's proposed national platform is extremely transphobic

    Jump

  • Closest I can find is gnosiophobia, the fear of knowledge/learning. Was just going to use religious, but we know he's not that, pretense notwithstanding.

    • The GOP's proposed national platform is extremely transphobic

    Jump

  • I think that's more about technology than science

    • The GOP's proposed national platform is extremely transphobic

    Jump

  • Sounds about right as they say.

  • What's the right word for science phobic?

    • AI will soon replace all software testers in the world

    Jump

  • AI could system test, I'd just rather it was a different AI to the one that did the coding. Point being if an entity can write and test code, the same shortcomings that lead to a bug being introduced make it less likely to be found if that entity is also doing the testing. Whether that's because of a logic fault, or just a misinterpretation of the requirements.

    • AI will soon replace all software testers in the world

    Jump

  • Developers write and execute the unit test, and perhaps component test. Once you get past that to system testing it should be someone independent.

    • AI will soon replace all software testers in the world

    Jump

  • If the same entity is both writing the code and testing the code it's not great. Even though the code in this instance is there to support testing, it's still being crafted by an ai that may one day also be expanded to create the tests themselves. It's that scenario I'm concerned about. It's part of the reason we do more than just unit test.
