Well, there is also the fact that in a lot of cities, you will be filmed, often by multiple cameras, most of the time, without you being aware of it. By law enforcement, security cameras (private and otherwise), cars etc. on top of that you

Well, in many parts of the world it is a legal right. You can take pictures of people in public. There are some restrictions, and there’s of course the question of how you go about it, but it is a right. I can understand people don’t like t

The people who buy these cameras would probably be better served by upgrading their phones. Phones are good enough cameras for this use and they are infinitely better at processing. As a long time hobbyist photographer I can understand buyi

Which can be a blessing in disguise. It makes it less attractive to steal images for commercial purposes.

The concept of «public» has changed. About 15-20 years ago I attended a lot of car events (races, shows) where I took lots of photos. Mostly of moving cars, but also a lot of closeups of race car drivers using a long lens. For about a year

You do not want to depend on infrastructure that might cease to work because the people running the infrastructure behave in an erratic, random and impulsive manner. This is a bigger risk than alignment with the policies of any government.

I can’t remember NeXTStep all that well anymore, but the way applications are handled in Darwin is a partial departure from the traditional unix way. Partial, because although you can mostly make applications live in their own directory, y

I would argue that the traditional way to install applications (particularly servers) on UNIX wasn’t very compatible with the needs that arose in the 2000s. The traditional way tends to assume that there will be only one version of somethin

I have come to hate email so much there are weeks where I will check my email perhaps just once or twice in a week. Every 2-3 months I try to clean up my inbox by going through it and unsubscribing to all the rubbish I am opted into with

I have a Google Workspace for my family. Mostly for email. Has anyone had a similar setup and moved in to Protonmail?

The shocking thing isn't that fascism would come back. The shocking thing is that the people I thought were smart would allow it to normalize so fast and give up without a fight. And that even some people I know are apparently fascis

I'm a simple man who has simple needs. I want a better and faster way to pass Go structs in and out of the runtime that doesn't mean I have to do a sword dance on a parquet floor wearing thick knit wool socks and use some fragile

Computing lens blur ought to be easier to achieve with more modern camera systems that add a LIDAR to capture a depth map. Does, for instance, Apple use their LIDAR system on the iPhone to do this?

I was talking about availability of hardware capabilities. And having a common interface to them so they are actually useful. Several of the machines I work on have a SAM, TPM, HSM chip or similar. But they’re not always present and they

If only chip makers and computer manufacturers could agree on some useful common interface for managing keys so we could get more people to use these solutions.

Nothing kills my will to try to solve a problem like trying to express it in terms of something that was intended for a different purpose and didn't really succeed at that. Your suggestion is a valid one, but I think the best way to so

That was the first thought that struck me when I saw the headline and tried to guess what the posting was about before clicking the link. At least 2-3 times per week I find myself wanting something like this. Often it involves leaving my

Could it be that with a higher minimum wage, more people work these jobs full time, thus reducing the number of people employed part time? If the same number of hours are produced with a lower number of workers that should be a plausible e

Exactly. Don't forget that Yahoo bought three search engines. (Full disclosure: I worked for one of the companies they acquired).

I'm not saying uv isn't catching on. I'm saying most Python software still doesn't use it and for meaningfully complete adoption to happen, a solution has to be the default solution, preferably included in the standard

Here's the thing: there has never been a lack of people who have declared this problem as solved in the 20 or so years since Python started Poking its way into my professional life. (And for about 12-13 years before that I could gladly

Every single language enthusiast says that some of the biggest codebases in the world are whatever their favorite major language is. And here's the thing: it is completely irrelevant whether the codebase is small or large. What counts

Solving it at least involves the Python maintainers making a choice, integrating it into the Python binary and sticking to it. At least. But that requires possibly annoying some people until a) whatever solution becomes mature and b) peop

For the last 20 years that has been the mantra. Some X "solves" all the problems. Except it doesn't. It just creates another X that is popular for a while, and doesn't somehow retroactively "fix" all the chao

So why do people choose Chrome? (I use chrome, but I am unable to articulate why. Surely some of you know why you use Chrome :-))

I remember back in the day, one of the big selling points for Google’s search engine used to be that the advertising didn’t get in the way. Imagine that.
