According to recent reports, at least Russia is launching glide bombs from airplanes on a daily basis. They don’t do it over frontlines though, so not much footage available.

There may have been new attempts, but when I last looked into these types of drone propellers, nobody seems to have been successfully able to demonstrate they actually offer significant improvements (either noise or efficiency) over traditi

Google Maps is surprisingly bad with its algorithm when considering gravel roads. I’ve had it reroute me off a highway to small gravel roads with a reasonable speed limit of 30 km/h, just to “save” a few km of highway. It also keeps in

I think they're referring to single-table data design as described in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaEPXoXVf2k It's quite clever and scales well, but completely unnecessary for the vast majority of CRUD apps.

It’s the same stupidity on the latest top of the line Volvo XC90 as well. It feels like the designers have never driven a car.

Could be explained with cargo culting to some extent, e.g. large & profitable tech companies have many employees, thus we should hire as many people as possible to become large & profitable as well. Another issue might be that witho

If your goal is to write code and treat vim as an IDE, no, it's not worth the effort. The quality of plugins is generally atrocious and when something inevitably breaks / doesn't work out of the box, it's somehow especia

A few, 14nm i9-10910 vs 5nm? M1, but that's an implementation detail. The main point is that the amount of RAM is not the limiting factor.

Not only does it feel faster, but it also beats the iMac at single-core performance, looking at bundle build times. If I could fully utilize all the RAM + cores of the iMac, it would obviously come out ahead, but that's not the case

I prefer my 8GB M1 Air to my 64GB Intel iMac for basically all of my Node/Rails/Swift development, with Docker running almost 100% of the time. The only time I’ve seen the iMac be “better”, was when I had a Java project that had

Honestly, even without any anesthesia or sedatives, the worst part is drinking the laxative for prep. If you can sit through a visit to a dentist, you can likely handle the procedure itself without any meds. I was actually surprised they ev

Why not? The setup I’m experimenting with for an API right now is basically a single Lambda that’s accessible through a function URL (so no ELB/ALB) + an RDS instance. Spinning up additional environments is a single Cloudformation call
