I don't see why this is so bad. You just have to follow along with the video for ~1 min. and depending on your lighting setup, it allows you to reset many lights at once without getting a ladder or stepstool and physically poking each

I was both happy and sad to see a comment by Terry A. Davis in the linked post. For those who don't know or remember, he was the guy who created single-handedly created TempleOS which, like he says in his comment, was inspired by God.

Moreover, how do they have so much code that they need k8s? Isn't their product just a proprietary function that converts lat/lon to three words and vice versa?

Someday, that might come full circle and you'll be the one who won't be enriched because the original code was MIT and not GPL. Here's an example: you buy some embedded hardware for a personal project, but you find out that t

Truly sRGB has been the best and worst thing to happen to color on computers. Unfortunately there's so much misinformation and bad implementations of color out there that I doubt end-users will ever understand or even notice problems a

Nobody to my knowledge is using more than 8 bits per color for taking photos. Certainly nobody using JPG (which includes wide-gamut JPEGs from DSLRs), and at least right now not even HEIF on iOS is anything but 8 bits. I'm guessing bec

You're probably getting downvoted for sounding paranoid. Is it really that difficult to believe that professionally written articles published in one of the most reputable newspapers can appeal to the HN crowd? What are these NY Times

Fonts like Fira Code are attractive for the same reason animated cursors are attractive - they give people a way to add fun little baubles to their working environment. No, they don't benefit your productivity and in many cases make it

What would you suggest Caltrans do instead, other than replace the attenuator more often? I can think of various other things that Caltrans can place there for people to crash into, but at some point there will be the start of a rigid wal

How do I properly filter applicants for low-skill jobs? If I'm hiring for an Amazon warehouse, I'm not going to ask for a resume, and background checks only catch certain things. How else am I going to know you'll be a good w

The review put Super Cruise higher than Tesla Autopilot because of better driver monitoring and geofencing. It doesn't speak much to how far ahead each company is on self-driving technology. Both Super Cruise and Autopilot are bad repr
