Ah, CORS. One of those rare topics to fall under the category of: "I have no idea how it works. I run into an issue with it. I spend all day researching, reading documentation, blog posts, etc, explaining it. I finally come to some

really interesting takeaways from the Wealthfront landing page[0]: * every example is shown as a smartphone app - not a single "desktop-oriented" screenshot to be found. I guess we are finished with the days where every service h

Oh god, have you had the M.C. Escher-esque experience of trying to sign in to an email account, and it hits you with a two-factor-auth prompt that sent the code to another email address? Imagine the insanity if the email account that rece

Wow, this is kind of the ultimate side project for passive income. It does one thing, that people need, and does it well, for a fair price. I assume it requires minimal maintenance, except to keep up with Twitter's API (honestly I don

As an amateur/hobbyist street photographer, there's another angle to using old/unusual cameras like digicams, Kodak instant cameras, etc: It's adds to your credibility and reduces how threatening you appear when you snap

Firstly, amazing work. My question is, how do you figure out how to parameterize "Same character, different pose" / "Same character, different eyes" / "Same character, different gender" / etc? My

And the first Pixar film that focused on human characters was The Incredibles, which is very smart since the characters are highly stylized and angular, like something from an Ayn Rand book cover.

no one would argue that Ringo was a technically skilled drummer. George Martin said "Ringo hit good and hard and used the tom-tom well, even though he couldn't do a roll to save his life". and yet he's one of the most b

I think part of this art is the story behind it. I'm sitting here trying to imagine Ringo Starr on a computer in MS Paint (or whatever he used) drawing blobby spacemen, and that alone makes me want to have one hanging on my wall.

Question - I get that your run-of-the-mill paper saying "Here we present a novel algorithm for xyz" will usually have the algorithm defined in simple psuedo-code, maybe with an implementation in a "real" language as a pr

Not to detract from the author's work - it does express the concept in "plain English" as promised - but boy oh boy is Pinning a confusing concept. This is coming from someone who has used rust pretty regularly since 2015. S

It feels unreal to me that we have so many hours of video of The Beatles at work, not to mention all the released and unreleased studio recordings. The Beatles are probably the first artist(s) in history who will be both studied for centuri

question: according to Wikipedia, LIGO was built between 1994-2002, and didn't detect gravitational waves until 2016. I never heard about LIGO until the discovery in 2016, so for almost 20 years it was off my radar, so to speak. What m

something that always amazes me about OBS is how it is seamlessly cross-platform... and yet I assume the low-level ability to capture display output must be highly platform-dependent? Does OBS need to maintain totally distinct logic for cap

I understand that part of the "magic" behind the M1 is how it has some cores that are "performance" cores and other cores that are highly efficient "low power" cores. My question is, how much of the sublime per
