I'm pretty sure the speech recognition for those transcripts happens in the cloud (necessitating that the raw audio be uploaded), unless the devices have gotten substantially better since I last looked.

My own S5 still works fine, almost six years later, and is going strong on its third battery. I'm not looking forward to finding a replacement, since it seems like every newer phone drops one or more features that I care about.

I think to me a significant part is that one process boils down to a game of pushing numbers around (a fun and engaging game, certainly), and the other process requires physically engaging with the logistical difficulties of the world in a

Regarding "hybrid" compositors, I believe there used to be a few that had an "un-redirect fullscreen windows" feature that essentially did what you're suggesting. I think there was some sort of difficulty with doin

I don't recall the model number anymore, but I also had an XPS13 for around three years at my last job. Had it running linux as my primary machine for web (and some mobile) development, and the only issue I ever had was that the onboa

Servo wasn't intended to build a full engine to replace Gecko, just to prove out components (Stylo, WebRender, etc) that could be integrated back into Gecko proper, built in a way that takes full advantage of Rusts strengths, and it&#x

If they'd ever got around to actually open-sourcing the thing like they kept promising they would, I expect people would've been more on-board with it. I would've been happy to pay a modest subscription for a fully open-sourc

It used to be centered around XUL, and there was even a sort of proto-electron in the form of xulrunner and the related Prism project, but they were all dropped years ago and XUL itself has been deprecated and is being steadily replaced. Th

I haven't dug into the puzzle very far and it didn't seem to like my experiments, but in bash and zsh `$$` will expand to the shells PID. Edit: Oh, I see what you mean now. I think it's just that you're expected to see

"Largest left wing sub" is probably too broad a term when /r/politics exists. "Largest far-left frequently rule-breaking sub" is a more useful designation.

These are fun projects. Even in the simple case it's somehow kind of magical and the effect can be remarkably compelling. I made a simpler desktop version as a game years ago, with a small team at RHIT's "Catapult" summ

And many if not most of those YouTube creators are increasingly dissatisfied with Googles management and are looking for an alternative platform. It seems like such an obvious missed opportunity.

The only (good/interesting) thing Quibi was doing that no one else was doing was the switchable view thing. All the other things they tried were foolish and self-defeating: mobile-only (can't watch on my laptop or TV, which makes

Uber, Lyft, etc are other useful examples. I think some of the sort-of-obscurity/confusion comes from the fact that, as the OP tweet gets at, you don't really see a very visible "GIS Industry"/products most of the t

Reproducible builds for extensions is a good idea that I hadn't considered before. Most browser extensions these days are just some JS zipped up with some metadata and maybe a few assets, right? There might be trouble with minified JS,

It may have changed, but last time I looked, only some Kobo books are actually DRM free. For the others, if you have a Kobo device, you can download them onto your device and then use a Calibre plugin to extract them as a regular epub. I

I've tried TST a handful of times and for whatever reason it never quite clicked for me. Instead, I found the Panorama/Tab Groups feature (before FF removed it, now preserved via addons like https://addons.mozilla.org&#

I'm probably oversimplifying, but there is some truth to the notion of Apple being as much a fashion company as they are a tech company, and smart-watches fit perfectly into that niche of fashion-tech. FitBit was a good product, but Ap

For me was Calculating God by Robert J. Sawyer, in which an alien appears at the Royal Ontario Museum and asks to speak with their paleontologist. Through that book, GoL was my on-ramp to all kinds of cellular automata, a-life, and proce

Usually these systems require HDCP support, which theoretically allows verification of the whole chain, PC to HDMI cable to display; any "unapproved" devices in the middle would be detected and prevent display. In practice, the HD

In addition to the paycheck, some people like to be rewarded with the knowledge (or at least hope) that their work is somehow making the world a slightly better place, or at least not making things worse for somebody.

That last point is maybe a little more legitimate, at least from this random commenters position. On the one hand, you have what sounds like straight up abusive targeted marketing of a drug at a vulnerable population: direct meeting with ch

I've looked in the past and could never seem to find one. Do you happen to have a link on hand? I'd be very interested, especially if it also supports HDR.
