I get sad reading the "What EU users are saying..." messages. A lot of them seem to be Apple fans that just bought their evasive narrative. I fully understand that some Apple users are perfectly happy with Apple's closed gard

Go's selling point is most definitely performance, but relative to implementation effort of a given application. This is opposed to languages that focus more on maximum performance at any cost to implementation, or maximum convenience

I have seen such detailed and tidy whiteboard diagrams, but the catch is that they never occur in active discussion . It doesn't make room for scribbling, and stopping a discussion for 5-10 minutes to draw slowly and nicely doesn&#x27

You could turn clothing descriptions into embeddings and have a fashion vector database, but doing that would mostly just net you the ability to find adjacent clothings, rather than the ability to navigate available clothing or clothing fit

What "ai" got to do with that would be that he didn't write a scraper and a clothing style ("vibe") categorizer to build a database to process entries in to pick a shop. They just prompted the "ai" (I real

I disagree, because when someone can just get those simple works made on a subscription you already paid for, then the $5 commission goes from something someone might end up doing if the idea is stuck in their head long enough (or they

Yes, but this is a bit of an oversimplification. The "99%" tends to be either: 1. Pointless throwaway content which we can just ignore as a new source of noise, 2. Something that could have ended up being a $5 commission[^1] to a

That's an entirely different problem to artists getting "shafted". Not saying it's not a worthwhile discussion, but it is a separate concern. Having everyone pay phone/internet, office, streaming, music, etc., subsc

This is, in my opinion, attempting to say the right thing with entirely the wrong perspective: The people you say are getting "shafted" always got shafted. Their works are the inspiration for all artists and people who lay their

Your wrapper does do a bunch of extra things that aren't necessary, but pulling in a library here is a far greater maintenance and security liability than writing those 100 lines of trivial code for the umpteenth time. So yes you shoul

It could also be trivially written for XMLHttpRequest or any node client if needed. Would be nice if they had always been the same, but oh well - having a server and client version isn't that bad. Because it is so few lines it is much

Interceptors are just wrappers in disguise. const myfetch = async (req, options) => { let options = options || {}; options.headers = options.headers || {}; options.headers['Authorization'] = token;

First thing would be that a small geofence (i.e., a narrow church on available data) is entirely orthogonal to having high precision, high quality location data available. I won't claim with certainty that this is the case, but it seem

Mycelium is neat, but last time I heard of it the problem was far, far too low manufacturing throughput. I don't think anyone would even consider marketing that as "vegan leather", as doing so would mean putting you in the sa

A good example for the discussion: leather being animal skin which obviously cannot come from a mushroom. Assuming you were countering my vegan leather claim: Products marketed "vegan leather" is polyurethane or similar, and for m

We also shouldn't call it "vegan leather" when it is in fact just plastic. Naming departs from technical accuracy when adopted by the masses, as they retrofit their common understanding. Wouldn't be too surprised if &quo

Well, not really. It means you have a renderer that is closer to being portable to web, not an editor that will run in web "with some additional work". The renderer was already modular before this PR.

With the disclaimer that I am comparing to the memory of some entry-level cameras, I would still say that it's way too noisy. Even on old, entry-level APS-C cameras, ISO1600 is normally very usable. What is rendered here at ISO1600 fee

Rather than a moat of details, it's first-mover advantage. Anyone can run a credit card network, but merchants and banks need to support them. Many others exist, but the issue is that they don't have widespread adoption. Solutions

You don't call it "cherry-picking" when a person lists fundamental flaws in your argument. Constantly ignoring all the flaws outlined and just reiterating your initial opinion with no basis whatsoever is at best ignorance, at

The real outcome is mostly a change in workflow and a reasonable increase in throughput. There might be a 10x or even 100x increase in creation of tiny tools or apps (yay to another 1000 budget assistant/egg timer/etc. apps on the
