Do you really press every possible key down almost to the switch point, and then when you want to actuate the key, press it a tiny bit further? I would guess (and maybe I'm wrong about this) that you rest your fingers on the keycaps, a

It's like CGI in movies - when it's done well you don't realize that it's being done at all.

I don't know how much I buy (!) this explanation - if an overqualified engineer is applying for a role that is below their usual expectations, it's probably because they can't find something that is a better match for whateve

I'm not a designer either, but that flesh tone has got to go.

I've tried walking around with a GearVR on my face with the phone camera turned on, and the latency makes it non-trivial. There's no way I would even think about trying to drive with this thing on.

I've seen this at banks that do something similar (and it's probably for this reason). They include a user-selected picture at logon, so if you see the wrong picture, you know that their logon page is being spoofed. I have no ide

KeePass can also generate TOTP codes. Kind of ruins the point of these codes, but if you're already storing the QR codes on it, you can go a step further and just get KeePass to generate the output code for you. https://bit

The problem with this style of password management is twofold: 1. You can't change your master password without changing every other password (upon refresh - looks like others mentioned that already) 2. You can't modify the output

I'm not sure if this is serious or satire: https://mathoverflow.net/q/281475 I mean, it feels like satire, but who knows...

There's something fantastically entertaining about this. It's stupidly simple (from the outside) but interacting with the computer in such a different way is weirdly fun. It's like when you turn on a camera and people can se

If you're confident enough of your auto-sync, you can always keep the manual refresh and just have it no-op. Eventually users realize that clicking refresh never actually brings in new content, and the content they expect is always th

Way back in the day, the help documentation shipped with MSDOS really helped me out. IIRC it had a colored text-graphical interface that let you look at all the commands and what they could do. Really helped out a young kid figure out how

Isn't this just software? Slow sync flash is just synchronizing flash with a slower shutter and deciding what data to pull from the camera. Is there unique hardware required to do this?

According to that page it has a 10000 mAh battery, and according to this [1] review it lasts about six hours. [1] https://hackaday.com/2017/04/28/hands-on-with-the-pinebook/

I would eat this (as long as the price is reasonable). I've been having to cut down on red meat due to health issues (gout). I find most veggie burgers to be pretty good (I'm not too picky) so this stuff would have to be extreme

Perhaps I was too harsh with my words. You do care, but would you rewards hard work in and of itself? Results are important - and to be fair sometimes you can't get the results you want and failure is ok and should be expected. That

You'd need to have continuous tracking of performance across grades. Low performance at the beginning of a school year would translate to a drop in progress compared to the end of the previous year. You could still game it by aiming f

Personally I find it rare - usually it's because of infrastructure (e.g., the farmer's stand doesn't have a credit terminal to process payments), or tax evasion (e.g., a restaurant gives you a discount for paying cash and it

It's a great achievement, and from the demo it looks like they're almost there (the framerate looked a little low and the characters were missing some subtleties of facial expression). I'll make a wild guess and say that in

That would be fun to use. Talk to an AI for a minute and have it figure out where you're from. Kind of like an audio based 20 questions. It would also be entertaining to try and trick it.

> So, 1,000$ is not an unreasonable price if it's noticeably better. But if $500 gets you 90% of the way there, is that last $500 really worth it? Same with shoes - I regularly spend less than $100 on my shoes and find that they

Fascinating. Are you familiar with any other ongoing research? I would imagine that a touch scroll pad like in the linked video would be a useful thing to have on the left hand side of a keyboard. I could use it to navigate through a docu
