"Google revives JPEG XL" works too, in the English language. Why invent a new word?

Now you can feel twice as broken. That is what new, modern standards deliver. Is this part of XCD #927 or another one, too?

Right, but we did have efforts to take over hardware security enclaves to deliver user data, instead of copyrighted company data, to user devices. Tim Berners-Lee tries to make the internet a place where you can choose, what it "forget

Let's hope the reboot, who changes between canceled and "soon" every few months, happens with a good casting for him, again!

I also used pandoc and markdown, and never bothered going back to ascidoc, full HTML, or latex. Footnotes are the only not always included extension to mmarkdown I need for slides or argument flows that are not killed by sidenotes, and some

Useless propaganda piece. To probably quote Terry Pratchett, at least it is proper-ganda.

Why are you asking abouts facts? Okay, as a benchmark, we can try that. But it probably will never work, unless it does a web or db query.

We have between 12 and 33. Counting to five or six is poetic, but not rooted in science. Phasic, tonic and phasic-tonic senses is a cool deep dive.

If it is the size of my phone, I would avoid the future e-waste and just use my phone. In airplane mode, if distrations are a problem.

LLMs still claim that 7.0 is newer than 8.0, i.e. have zero reasoning about what numbers below 12 mean. Today I tried telling it that my fritz.box has OS 8 installed, but it claimed that the feature will only ship once I installed 7, and no

gmail should be server sided, with as much JS as you want to use. Unless they moved away from the philosophy they started with GWT (Google Web Toolkit) for Gmail, and perhaps even Inbox (RIP)

Not "a blockchain", since e.g. Hyperledger Fabric and other blockchains do not have the sha256 hashing and proof of work parts. But "the" blockchain, as in Bitcoin blockchain, the most infamous one. Title is misleading,

The example shows non-GUI code written in Swift, with Kotlin for frontend. So, still no UI in Swift? What does it add to the linked "swift-java project" then at all, perhaps some lifetime events and a sort of batteries-included st

> but I think for most developers wanting to build an app it's more common to build for iOS first, and then port to Android later if the app gets traction. Is it? There seem to be a hundred million Java developers out there, that ca

Yes, IIRC if you measure an image signal, i.e. here: image, that is at twice the resolution of the sensor you use, there won't be any artifacts. Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem. But, if the sony sensor also measures depth information,

Rough quote: "in 1984 we had at my house", so even 41 years seems to be in the scope. I was expecting - early projects that ended in Visual Studio 1.0 or NetBeans soon after, (2 to 9 years too early for them) not - "vim (1991

I use a gui for 90% of my workflows. Another 9 percent points are hitting back in my console history to rerun commands, never mind if git or jj or POSIX that affect my working dir or index state. What am I supposed to do, use the UI plus jj

I cannot use wolframalpha most of the time since the syntax is not that natural. WolframAlpha is good AI, it never lies. Calculators are good AI, they rarely lie (due to floating arithmetics rounding). And yes, Wikipedia says calculators ar

I saw a great shift in our data science job offers: we removed the old offers and now only search machine learning experts. We do not know if they would have any problem to work on. But we surely are looking for one.

Photons vs electrons? Just rotate 90 degrees, seem to be swappable more easily than using neutrons or other particles, like tau/muon/electron neutrinos. Oh wait, didn't fermilab even use neutrinos in 2012? That seems even har

I barely use pushd/popd, for me this would be overkill, and I dislike the side effects. I mostly use my history, so same command needs to reliably do same thing. Workaround for cd-ing: cd ~/foo; $COMMAND ; #optional cd ~ here My h

Venus is room temperature with low radiation, if you dig in. Living on Venus was floating around as an easier alternative to living on the Mars surface. Room temperature is 21°C, I have no idea how many freedom fries units that is.
