Hard disagree. You’re forgetting the long tail of consumer-only usecases. That’s like saying owning a computer without basic programming knowledge seems pointless. Obviously 3D printers are useful even if you never create or modify 3D model

Yeah it’s a common misconception. This is closer to macOS than it is to Linux.

Google has been completely infuriating over the last few years. It’s email. They hide the forward and reply all behind multiple clicks. Where is the Subject? CC? BCC? I get that grandpa and grandma benefit from removing some extra functiona

Same here. I get MDM profile updates from IT on my work machine. One time they auto-installed a cloud backup service and sent out a company-wide email after they already did it. Something like: “Now nobody has to deal with lost data. You’re

Ok. So by your logic, my house keys owns my house? But don’t I own my house keys too?

I am amazed at the level of R&D & economies of scale with vaporizers. The tech in these - high-power electronics, computer controlled heating profiles etc is quite sophisticated. Societal evils aside, this could be a very precise dr

Does it have to do with what kind of market iOS/macOS can access vs Android? I don’t know the numbers here. But I would assume, part of the pull is that people consider Apple products to be luxury items. Hence maybe this is attractive

Quantum computations (the computer science concept) is not needed for operations where the classical algorithms are already efficient. Quantum computer technology used to perform classical computations - almost certainly there will be some

One bit of advice for your post: Talk a bit more about your business model - where the funds are coming from etc. It is coming for your customers (other businesses) or their customers (the shoppers)? I understand Stripe is keeping money you

Is this a Vuze fork? Last time I remember using Azureus, it was a bloated slow mess.

You seem to have a frustration with people around you. I don’t think the problem is with what people should know, but don’t.

One thing that's always blown me away about the TouchWheel iPod and the original iPhone is the mountain of design/engineering work beneath a very simple user experience. It's what competitors found hard to replicate when thes

(5120 * 2880) / (3840 * 2160) = 1.77 Since they are both the same aspect ratio (16:9) you can also take the ratio of one linear dimension and square it to get the area ratio. So: (5120/3840)^2 = (2880/2160)^2 = 1.777

Well it’s for other things than just telling you what time it is. You could have a GPS that is far more precise. Or a altimeter that detects height changes based on gravitational time-dilation. There are tons of things you can build on top

> "sunrise in Singapore" or "astronomical noon". Yes exactly. But how would you measure astronomical noon? You might build some instruments that look at the sky and produce some readings. Now you might build multiple

This is interesting from a product angle. Apple has historically not supported running macOS on VMs very well. A few years back I built the vm infrastructure for a CI/CD platform for iOS and macOS app developers. It wasn’t easy to do t

Outcompeting is an immediate association between the two variants. Conferring x-variant immunity means that once you've recovered from one, you will have lasting immunity to other variants. There is a possibility that the large major

But what about the cost of the batteries?

by LASR 5y ago
True. Batteries, inverters etc are expensive. Comparing a gas tank to EV batteries, the cost swings the other way unfortunately.

by LASR 5y ago
Exactly. Microservices can solve for some problems, eg: scaling infrastructure in a non-uniform manner or scaling development velocity non-uniformly across many teams. But there are also tons of other ways to solve these problems. The mista

It basically boils down to money. If Apple considers the move to support rich messaging, and it seems like it will shut off a revenue stream, they won’t make the move. Keep in mind we’re largely talking about teenagers heavily influenced by

Yeah this is confusing me as well. Mass does not affect the velocity of a falling object. Unless the simulation is accounting for some air resistance too.

Not OP, but to answer your question: no, not all the time. If you take it before bedtime, it sedates you in a deep sleep. But 3-4 hours later, if you wake up, it would be like you didn’t take anything. You may even have trouble going back t

I am sorry, but this article is drawing some sensationalist conclusions that does not directly follow. I am not even sure what it means for a dummy to be male. Dummies are constructed to a certain shape and size, representing some average o

Hold on now. Even in GC’ed languages? Which ones? It is another programming paradigm. It has its uses. It has its drawbacks. “Ruining everything” is a big stretch.
