Reading the article I couldn't stop thinking: Isn't 3D space perhaps being mapped by a "crumpled" 2D space filling surface? Real world environments are rarely really 3D, and a 2D surface is perhaps the sweet spot in comp

Retiring from a competitive game because of AI makes very little sense to me. Cars can go much faster than humans, yet we still run for sport.

There is some sort of film on top of the display that allows "selecting" pixels based on viewing angle. This is not unlike those 3D postcards that were a fad some time ago, or the Nintendo 3DS, only a much more sophisticated versi

Yes, I've tried it in a couple countries and the best McDonald's meal I've had was in Champs-Élysées, Paris, France.

Is there a significant share of the laptop market that ships _without_ webcams? I haven't seen a single laptop manufactured in the past 15 years that doesn't have a webcam built-in. The actual good news is requiring it to be HD, s

TypeScript's type system, with tagged unions, `never` type and type inference being used in an app with good Language Server support (e.g. VSCode) is probably the closest I've seen to this. The biggest limitation still in place is

Reading a machine translated version of the Russian article linked from GitHub (that seems far more complete) the author mentions RNA can behave like NOR gates, so all other gates must be possible as well

Glyphs (the font authoring app for macOS) supports this workflow via their Smart Components feature. [1] The resulting outlines are "baked" when you build the final font, so this is a "compile time" feature, but the prin

Interesting. If that's the case, I wonder why no large mammals evolved these patterns like for example, butterflies did.

Just out of curiosity, what keyboard layout do you have? On US keyboards ⌘-` is right above tab, and in fact my keyboard doesn't even have a § key.

They might be using something like an NX bit on the generated x86_64 page, so that whenever the code attempts to jump into it, a page fault is generated, and the kernel is able to handle that, kicking in the JIT compilation and translating

They're using a subtle perspective/highlight effect similar to tvOS. It's kinda interesting, wanted to try it in person to see how effective it is at conveying the underlying position.

On the scale of a large solar power plant, pumped water storage has superior durability and much easier maintainability than batteries. Besides, the water that's pumped up hill can actually be "productive", e.g. suppling wate

GPL is only concerned about redistribution of your program. A modified version can be kept private as long as it's hosted on your own servers and not distributed. The primary concern of Sentry is large cloud providers that have more c

Even if file names/packages don't clash, there's still a conflict when it comes to documentation, articles, blog posts, books, stack overflow questions and other documents that might or might not be updated.

My understanding is that /var was only removed on systems without SIP enabled, the recommended (and default) setting. This only affected users who went out of their way to disable this security feature. Presumably Google QA had this

It's not about real estate, but rather about sharpness. At 3820x2160 ("4K") you can double every pixel, when compared to 1080p. That means that text at the exact same "size" is twice as sharp, producing less visual

Information density is not hampered by the presence of proper negative space, on the contrary, using the right amount of negative space actually allows for very information dense layouts to still be readable. A good example is a traditional
