It wasn't a thing before Skype, but it predates Discord, and might predate Whatsapp, or at least predates me hearing about Whatsapp in the US. It was a hobby project originally started by a bunch of anons in 4chan, and every time it ge

Yes, Spot + a repurposed pro camera gimbal could do this today. However the cost needs to come down by about 100x.

Well a simple solution is to generate unique feed links for each subscriber, make it infeasible to guess links, and monitor if a link is being shared too widely. Since it's just http there are plenty of authentication options, but no s

I host a miniflux server and access it via Fluent Reader on Android and ReadKit on iPadOS.

There's no way of accessing subscriber-only substack posts via RSS though, at least not without something else in the mix like a web scraper or a tool like kill-the-newsletter. They do offer their own reader that aggregates all posts f

Most existing coal was once trees, but large scale conversion of trees into coal was only possible in the carboniferous, when trees were new on the biological scene and there wasn't anything that could decompose them, so dead trees jus

Uhh no. Leaving kids stranded at a bus stop is a huge liability for the school because if the kid wanders off and gets hurt or gets in trouble, the school could be held at fault. If a bus company is leaving kids stranded more than once in a

A water crisis is almost always a case of using slightly more water than is available, so you can usually address one by putting the burden on whichever consumers are least able to fight back, even if they are least responsible for the cris

That might be an issue for non-programming work like video editing, 3d modeling, animation, &c. But tons of programmers just need a text editor with a total of zero buttons, a terminal, and a web browser. Xcode for macOS isn't desi

If the problem is that customers are contesting payments or other fraud-related issues, the standard remedy is to bump fees, not revoke service.

Coinbase and Venmo's role is analogous to a bank that offers account holders debit cards that can access CC networks, not the organizations in control of the CC networks themselves.

We mandate that some companies participate in the sex trade, at least to the extent that payment processors can be considered to be participating. The electrical company is mandated to provide power to Onlyfans' datacenters, so long as

Well I'm claiming that most future ones will not. There's no reason that smartphone/tablet style OSs couldn't accomodate video editor, graphic designers, writers, salespeople, real estate brokers, etc in the future . An

That all sounds right to me. And with everyone who doesn't need all the nitty gritty access that software developers (and some others) off using different OSs, the advanced OSs that software developers use will have no reason to cater

I wouldn't call smalltalk systems part of the same paradigm as mainstream desktops, although if historians call them both desktops then we can use that name for both. I think we can do better than squeak/pharo, but they're fi

Yes. And yet people who use workspaces still use windows with multiple tabs, and have the layout of windows in the workspace dictated by application-level sorting. I actually used a desktop that let you group content from different applicat

Well it's roughly as good as your other two options, none of which are terrible. I'm not trying to insult the people who use.. literally any operating system available today. But surely you can imagine ways that macOS could be bet

That's just it. The future is very likely most people using iPad-like devices. They will need some kind of keyboard, so I'm not sure it's going to be tablets mostly, but the software will resemble that of smartphones. But no

I think you can also extract energy from it by slingshoting an object off the black hole to draw energy from the black hole's spin.

Not even remotely an expert on chip design, but deep learning dataflow is a lot more predictable and linear than what a CPU or even a GPU doing actual graphics needs to do. Speed of light latency is probably not an issue since the relevant

I agree it's likely that it was stored there specifically to be stolen, but I seriously doubt the explosion was meant to cover up the corrupt affairs. Even if you assume the people involved didn't care about civilian lives one iot

I worked for AWS, specifically on a backend component specific to EC2 Classic, until late last year, and this will definitely simplify things on Amazon's end. There were, as of last year, still some large customers using Classic. It&

You don't have to be in the US for it to be easy to initially target just the US market though.

Ok but you're mixing metaphors. No one's talking about writing web tutorials in French or teaching physics in Clojurescript.

by adrusi 5y ago
No, the parent comment's point was that some people use clojurescript, just like soms people speak French. Sure, most people who use clojurescript can read javascript, but most people (in Europe/NA) who speak French will also unde

On Android it works acceptably. On iOS (at least iPad) you have the proprietary Möbius sync port which is a bit annoying in that it requires a regular push notification to perform any syncing, but with iOS 15 focus modes you can hide it wit

No and it's probably not possible to get M1 results out of anything remotely modular. The M1's success is largely due to vertical integration. You definitely can't get as good a laptop using a non-Apple ARM chip (see e.g. the

My experience with BBEdit was circa 2008, just as I was first learning to code. It's much older than that, yes. Idk, maybe TextMate wasn't terribly similar to BBEdit, but at the time the landscape of non-IDE graphical editors was

After the 30-day trial expires, BBEdit becomes what used to be a separate application from the same developers called TextWrangler. TextWrangler was my first code editor because my dad had it installed on the family iMac for its sophisticat

I haven't used BBEdit in over a decade, so my sense of its capabilities are surely out of date. I can't compare features, but I can tell an interesting story. Sublime Text is arguably a spiritual descendant of BBEdit. Sublime Text
