It's nowhere near thick enough to handle the huge variety of ranges shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duKNwA96J5Y (thickness clearly visible at ~10s)

Those had a viewfinder that restricted your viewing angles and location to enough of a degree that it mostly didn't matter.

A lot of the time that happened, when I checked it was because a lot of the assets were relatively uncompressed, so DMG-compression shrank them considerably. I haven't noticed the binaries themselves being this compressible. But that&

Kinda interestingly: it zips to 17MB, but the binary looks to be 56MB (davit.app/contents/macos/davit). That seems like a surprising amount of compression for a binary - embedded assets maybe? Possibly this is normal for ma

Is this referring to the difficulty of figuring out what "123 w dhuwdaodks plk" means? I can certainly see that (especially internationally - model-based parsing makes a lot of sense there, assuming enough good training data exis

One of the main things that keeps me from using essentially all OSM-based mapping apps as my primary is that search seems incredibly bad. I can't blend city and name, road and category, can't usually filter by features or open

Digital sales overwhelmingly use "buy" as the term in their UI, not "rent". Rental is a separate thing, and I don't think roughly anyone is saying rentals should not exist in any form.

There has definitely been a lot of blind-idealism in a lot of P2P systems, yea. Though sometimes that's because it was/is just a PoC to see if it works at all, and then it grows too large to change / needs to be forked. Iroh

Stable IP addresses solve it as well, but these kinds of things are not generally aimed at contexts where those are an option. Even IPv6 isn't generally stable - the prefix is ISP-defined and tends to vary similarly to IPv4 with CGNAT

Molly has been running just fine as a project for quite a few years at this point. Signal doesn't block them. I think it's fair to say they are fairly strongly opposed to them (for somewhat defensible reasons), but no, they'v

Because that would reverse flipping it over the first time, and our universe's physics are not reversible. Thermodynamics demands the turtle stay flipped.

particularly "and fuzzing", yea. fuzzing generally does intentionally explore boundary values, from what I've seen. for an encoding library like this, I think it's fair to say that fuzzing is a baseline expectation f

I kinda wonder if it's extracting usable context from 2D proximity between lines? Normal text input wouldn't have that kind of information (though it could, and it's arguably just a lookahead/behind of N characters on av

Given how many other laptop vendors do this and don't charge extra for it, I think you might be over-estimating it somewhat. Plus Apple already does this for 20(+?) languages, some of which have difference shapes , which for a macbook

I really can't stand the typing-feel of covers. Any of them. I would MUCH rather buy and use a cheap external keyboard that can be trivially disassembled to clean. Plus then you get to sit back further, and not look down at the screen

The immediately obvious and simple to handle on-disk format for everything I cared about was one of the things that convinced me to give it a try. Well-crafted exporters are great and all, but I really like being confident that I can conver

yea, I don't think Opus Magnum is my favorite either. I just think it's a good starter, to get a gentler introduction to the many-step puzzles and those optimized-build leaderboards - if those leaderboards call to you and you lik

for anyone on the fence about these games: I'll highly recommend Opus Magnum as the starting point. It's a good intro-to-Zachtronics game because every problem can be brute forced if desired - in many of the others, you need to

Agreed it's optional (I've seen and used that option), but are local accounts even a thing any more? Or are you just referring to "not MDM controlled" accounts?

TPM can solve the "neither side gets info about who you are or where it's used" part, but it seems like that might mean any TPM leak also means a single token can be used infinitely without detection, yea? Otherwise it's

I should really look into blinding strategies some time - there are some very interesting possibilities in there.

Yes, that allows collusion. Which has historically happened quite regularly any time money or politics are involved, which means we should not accept that strategy. For some isolated scenarios, that collusion risk may be completely fine.
