From context, it seems to be a well known 'quintessential extreme example' of when you have obviously gone way too far into microservices. So it's probably something super trivial like coloring text maybe? Or maybe convert be

I listen to audiobooks while walking and it makes it easier to focus and overall more enjoyable. I also discovered that human memory is weird as heck. When I walk my mind is somehow mapping my physical location in the world to the content,

It's crazy how much friction friction switching HDMI ports adds. I had the exact same problem trying to get my parents to use full screen video chat. Ipads are ok but the experience of video chat on a 65 inch screen feels qualitatively

It only makes sense if they have overloaded medical systems or they expect outcomes to improve. Maybe they are waiting for their Chinese developed MRNA vaccine or better access to Paxlovid?

Agreed. There are plenty of monumentally stupid decisions being made ( https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1588676939463946241 ) that we don't need to pile on unproven ones. Threatening your potential advertise

A lone positive sign of a course correction amidst all the recent chaos and clearly terrible decisions. Of which the worst was Elon threatening advertisers who don't advertise on Twitter. https://twitter.com/elonmusk&#x

>Agreed. The problem with China's COVID policy, however, is not antivaxxers on Twitter - it is that the Chinese vaccines are absolute trash compared to Western vaccines, but Xi Jinping can't really backtrack on his decision to

I still can't understand it. Even if China were motivated purely by not wanting to make past decisions seem wise, we've had so many reasons to change policy. Vaccines, monoclonals, paxlovid, and now updated vaccines. You may still

TLDR: Tesla thinks LIDAR hardware is more expensive than the performance improvement it provides. I didn't like his line of logic about how vision is necessary and sufficient, because that's how humans drive. Okay sure, but if som

Yeah. If a game isn't well suited to Unreal, that game may well just not get made. But then again Factorio is one of the best selling PC games of all time. Maybe gameplay finds a way. On CDPR specifically, I hope didn't make the d

There are advantages to game streaming but Google never really did anything with them, instead they just made a worse version of a console. The marketing at the beginning was confusing. Everyone had the impression Stadia was like a Netflix
