I remember years ago thinking it was weird in Ghost in the Shell when a robot had fingers on its fingers to type really fast. Maybe that really won’t happen since they can plug into USB at least, but they will probably use the screen and ke

I used to love Backblaze until I dug in a bit more and realized the product is unreliable. Quoted from my own past comment[0]: 1. The client will lie to you and you never know what’s really backed up. Even if you use the secret alt-click to

I'm a long way from 12TB, but I was relieved to see the new plans since I know I will eventually pass 2TB. As you mentioned, I consider iCloud basically for syncing and short-term backup of convenience, but I wouldn't trust it as

How many people actually have theft on their insurance? My car was stolen so of course I called insurance right after the police (who didn’t show up for six hours). But the insurance company just said, “You don’t have theft on your policy,

A perfectly healthy person can get a cold, need a day or two off, and then be back at 100%. I don't think a day or two off is going to take someone from the verge of a mental breakdown, to 100% mentally healthy. So they're not rea

I was just setting up an AirGradient and was annoyed the site was slow as I was referencing some documentation. Then I come here and see why!

> It's not like Japan is famous for its quality software to be honest. Exactly. The developers are probably proud to have built something (presumably) high-quality in Japan and they want to promote that fact to help shift the countr

No, the philosophies are completely orthogonal. “Lean” might be a shared buzzword, but the meaning is completely different in manufacturing vs software. Toyota Production System, just-in-time manufacturing, and such are about making a runni

This is the secret to Nintendo’s success. Despite being a very traditional Japanese company, iterative, agile development is in their DNA. They experiment with a lot of different game mechanics that might be fun, test them early on other pe

Spotlight’s ordering is asinine but that doesn’t mean AI features can’t be very useful.

Google could certainly design a basic offline mapping app. They even have offline mapping in their app today. I’m actually not even sure what the complaint is actually about since I don’t use offline myself, but I know that Google Maps is a

This lowbrow criticism is really old. Google doesn’t do much offline for the same reason almost no one does offline anymore; it’s hard and the number of users affected is very small. Do you honestly think Google is looking at the number of

Somehow I still remember the moment my mom showed me a little blurb in the computer column of our newspaper that mentioned Google! Same as everyone, I tried it and switched immediately.

He filmed all three together, not the second two. That makes it even more insane, especially at the time when no one had done this and fantasy movies were far out of vogue.

One has to be the ghost army wiping out all impact and meaning from the mortals’ battle and sacrifice in the Return of the King. I’m in the camp that the quality and faithfulness in Peter Jackson’s movies were an insanely improbable miracle

There’s no way it will be left alone; I don’t think you need to worry about any “final words” from Hollywood. They’re already moving on another large LotR project that might actually just be the main story remade already.

I’m not GP, but I think you’re missing their point. They described the Canadian job as “gig” but it’s actually structured more like more traditional part time work. It sounds like you’d prefer to outlaw all part time work? The point is true

At least Google has this feature. I'd like to use Apple Maps sometimes, but the search is terrible and you can't even coerce it with a feature like "search in this area".

Actually the teams that would implement those fixes are not really in California (rather Seattle, Sydney, Tokyo, among others), but the problem is more the diffusion of responsibility and lack of ownership. Teams all have different metrics

This is a real issue, but it has nothing to do with Google specifically. You’re basically saying that information on road networks should be obscured or restricted so governments can indirectly control the flow of traffic. Japan actually ha
