There is no difference between a black hole of a certain mass and a star of the same mass, gravitationally. Stars can only get so massive, but black holes can get much much more massive. But even with supermassive black holes, it doesn’t ch

This is a sort of punctuated optimization that is natural in any technology. When a fundamental technology is evolving rapidly, not much effort is put into optimization. It instead goes into keeping the momentum of evolving the fundamental

Not AWS console. Amazon.com. The console is not the way Amazon prefers to communicate with AWS customers. Any customer with a level of respectable scale will use the API for everything. So they don’t really care about polishing the console.

Why not? Modifying system hosts configuration requires privileged file system access. The mindset here should be default deny.

This is certainly a pretty big deal for a 12 year old. But also, it’s a hobby project that’s been around for decades. Fusion is something we hear about in the media as being something very hard to achieve. It’s not. Achieving fusion beyond

I think you're missing the point. Using the example above. 1/3 has no final digit. 0.333333 repeating infinitely. So how do you then store this number to the final digit or final -1 digit using this mechanism?

Nice work. But honestly, you're making it incredibly hard to quickly see your accomplishments.

Not disagreeing with you. I just wanted to know why you think this way. Wouldn't you want easy concurrency when building a high-performance http/tcp server? Also with the parent, why do you think "swift has no quality high-le

Tell me. I am curious to know if use a text editor without syntax highlighting. Seems to be the case that there is no modern text editor that doesn't color every single word. Must be so hard for you now that you're forced to use t

Is it just me or does this seem to be a scam? My BS detector is going off every second of this video. I have a feeling the inventor is looking for cash with no substantiated product built.

On a related note: I would like to know if there is a project/fork that brings the oldschool threaded model for a browser. Is there one? A single app with one purpose should all run in-process and use threads to schedule work.

So what? Doesn't mean what he says is false. This sort of ad hominem attack on the author and not the argument is a logical fallacy.

There is no native Slack app. They're all Electron apps. But I think you already knew that. 2 vs 11 is the precise difference that is important. The author shows that things are more reasonable with 2 accounts. Without seeming to endor

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry if I was unclear. The comparison with PNG is very intentional to illustrate the vast difference in the compression efficiencies involved. I do state the difference clearly here though: > This concept of thr

6.5 Ounces! or 0.4 lbs. Thanks for the feedback! I added the final weight into the conclusion.

Thank you! It means a lot to me. Yes, I try to convey my sense of excitement about technology to other people.

It's certainly possible to use any arbitrary shape. The way it really works is that there is a quantization matrix - which essentially is a configurable mask for your frequency domain signal. Yes, I've dumbed it down in the articl

You're right! The images that I am using are zoomed cropped sections of a much larger image of the entire Apple home page.

Thank you! I hope you now share my feeling of awe over this technical wonder.

Multiple network round-trips to find a 'good' back-end is undesirable. If your client is browser-side javascript, for example, then these can directly affect responsiveness and time to page usable. Random is significantly easier a

I've done benchmarks across mobile devices as my bread & butter job for several years. All of the benchmarks in this review mean almost nothing. Even the testing methodology is fundamentally flawed. I'll explain. Javascript be

There is one button - "on". There is no program. The program is baked into the machine itself. The input data is carefully prepared and fed into the system. The machine then runs and spits out the output. That's it. You shoul

I've been asked about this 'bug' in almost every interview question about binary search/merge sort etc. The fix for the bug being the exact same fix in the post. Isn't this just common knowledge?
