Ah I thought that was the one. Now I understand why I couldn't find it. But the other one was during a talk. Same effect though.

I have told so many people about that video over the years. It was one of the most amazing demonstrations of a programming language/ecosystem that I've ever seen. Yet I've never been able to find it again.

Check out videos on YouTube of how movie studios are using unreal for virtual sets. I think a lot of it is artistic choice.

Anyone know if there is something similar in the cloud? Like an API based thing? Seems like a nice feature for a CMS

Jobs and Ive had their head scratchers. Like the Magic Mouse with the bottom charging port, or the Cube with all its cables coming in from the bottom.

But that IS actually true, that if everyone used a coupon, the coupon would eventually go away or become weaker. The expected percentage of people using a coupon is often part of the calculation (however vague) when deciding the coupon.

I wonder if this is also for leverage to increase the chances that the world will come to its aid in the event of a Chinese invasion.

What a cool piece of internet history. (And awesome that he was a good sport) JGC, you seem to be one of those people that always has a finger in many little internet trivia things. I'd be bold to say, almost like a Forrest Gump of the

Do you have examples? I'm genuinely asking. Just started reading online after going to bed last night.

These are talking about 48V, so my guess is it's for all the little bits (window motors, wipers, all the internal electronics, switches, turn signal lights, etc etc)

Also it is $212 for 20-25 years of support. Not just some one time cost.

Should I even bother asking why there isn't some kind of Board of Directors at WP? They could act as a check against one person going absolutely insane and destroying a company and hundreds of jobs in the process. (except in obvious ca

He’s using trademarks because that’s all he can do. But this is about the money and jealousy about how WP Engine is making a ton of money Without adding more developers to contribute.

I know. I'm asking what many WordPress employees think of his erratic behavior. Because it can't be helping too much.

I keep seeing more and more stories like this, like how the UK recently closed down its last coal plant. Or how MS and Google are investing in committing to buy nuclear because of their thirst for energy to feed the great AI in the Sky™. Su

I’m honestly not sure what they’ve done wrong (or illegally). But it seems like Mullenweg has alienated a lot of people by what seems to be very erratic behavior. I am curious to see what many WP employees think of all this.

When this article first came out, I had a similar reaction, that it seems that regulations that just favor one company doesn't seem all that right. But I remember in that thread a few had said that as part of this, SawStop will be forc

Sure but you have to grade on a curve. When you actually see how some of their peers act, compared to them, the Tatas are gems.

They're not a fake metric. Sure, ratings can be gamed and are gamed. But ratings and accompanying reviews inherently aren't fake, and are the closest proxy to "word of mouth"

Even though the many of the Oscars nowadays feel rigged (with full lobbying arms from the studios behind them), my understanding was that the "Academy" (from the Academy Awards) consists mostly of your fellow filmmakers. So it is

I would buy that except they’ve put in full thunderbolt 4 in the pro so they’ve got an insanely fast interconnect on that phone with the same USB-C port. Granted, that requires a tb4 controller chip but I don’t know if that’s built into the

I actually have a question about how (home) construction works with the metric system. Is anyone actually building to millimeter precision? Only talking about home construction here. Here in the US it's mostly 8th (~3mm) of an inch or

I would argue that Wordpress is a great example of how something doesn't need to be "well-engineered" (when it comes to abstractions, maintainability, etc) to be widely useful for many. Although I think the exception there is

Eh I still don’t see too much merit in an argument that we’re “stuck” as if these systems have hobbled us and are unusable in the precision required in daily tasks. Arithmetic is a pain in the butt though, since it’s a working mainly with f
