Some of these seem like they are workarounds that aren't going to be required in future camera designs. Others fall well into the amateur photography traps of "I must have this techno gadget in the camera to get better", wher

The article is just flat wrong about Honda. The small overlap tests started in 2013, most of the Hondas already scored "Good" in the small overlap tests by 2013. The Author awards BMW and M-B excellent status for correcting their

Right but he's punishing Tesla for scoring "Acceptable" for years on the test when they scored "Excellent" on the other tests. And he's somehow rewarding M-B and BMW when they scored "Unacceptable" or

Right but he's equating "Acceptable" to worse than "Poor" as the German cars were achieving in the same time frame. The Tesla was "Acceptable" for years where the German cars were "Poor". Whic

This article seems to be ultra out of date and it doesn't cite the specific crash data showing why they grouped cars the way they did. For example he's grouping BMW and Mercedes right below Volvo.. at least in the case of the Fron

Nortel is not even the only company Huawei plundered with abandon. They did this with practically every one of their partners back in the 00s.

This thing was like the coolest/rarest thing back then, it was almost legendary cause no one had seen one but everyone rumored they existed. I had various Sun & SGI workstations at my internships in the 1990s.. all these machines w

I don't see in the article how they control for the IQ drop they think occurs (up to 5 points) being the same as the error margin for IQ tests (+/- 5 points). How does that work.. ? It's not like IQ tests are considered tha

Rebranding to try to appear diverse, but... Income: 99% from advertising on the social media apps? All this other stuff is cute hobbies they blow some of their profits on.

My take too. It has not followed anywhere near a normal process for a medically safe/effective drug to be approved. I'm for it being completely legalized but the medical aspect is very weird. The DEA has not helped this at all b

I'm old enough to remember the B.S/B.A. (Before Scrum/Before Agile) times. Agile has mostly been a disaster IMO.. I've worked at big public companies and 2-3 startups during it's run. It works to come up with a &qu

My injury was multi-factor. It started with a cycling injury. Medication taken from the cycling injury was partially a cause of the RSI coming on. It was also just a really stressful time with a lot of work. But I had been in the field

If you were working with a PT they want you sitting so far upright with your shoulders pulled so far back you might not be able to even reach the keyboard. We're all so used to the slouch it's hard to grasp. I can't sit back

There's absolutely zero clinical/valid evidence that Cherry MX switches do a shred of anything for RSI. It's all hype. There's nothing medical behind any of it. I find the extra key travel of those switches fatigues my

10x engineers surely exist IMO, but: - There are 10x as many pretenders for every one real one. Management might mistake the fakers for the real ones because they are faking it on being charismatic. These engineers wreak havoc on teams..

Well certainly Phillip K. Dick wrote a lot of short stuff. It's from an earlier era but a lot of his great stuff was very short stories. And yet a Scanner Darkly really dragged for me... Overall though I agree, a shocking amount of mod

We use Docker Desktop for the Mac at work. (Large company) Docker for Mac absolutely sucks. If they’re going to force everyone to pay they better start fixing bugs. They recently stopped allowing skipping a release unless you pay, and th

I struggled with whether or not to include that one.. haven't actually read it and wasn't sure. The whole genre is "Lost World" and goes all the way back to King Solomon's Mines in the 1800s.

What's really remarkable about this as everyone argues whether it's good for a "software engineer" to have even the most basic understanding of how a computer works is the magnitude of extra work being done here as the c

The way M-B is and my cynicism about marketing I expect this car to be an utterly impractical concept car. Something like the Sunracer. Holds one person and you have to lie down in it. $1M carbon fiber chassis, etc.. uses a battery they

Retirees running out of money because the economy is crashing doesn't really match up with "they'll just go back to work". People might stop having kids too, then there will be no new workers entering the work force even

This article seems to be about the economic value gained by reduced health care or something. If you actually extended lifespans by a significant margin (say to 200 years) there would be other knock on effects that would completely derail t

The work on reducing dark mode contrasts seems valid.. lots of dark mode is way too high contrast. It's trendy, so I try it, and pretty immediately can feel the contrast messing with my eyes. So it gets turned off. However I hate th

The point was the hill is only 133 feet high, at 11% it's about 1000ft long, less than 1/4 mile. The duration of the climb is very important as well as the grade and in the case of this racetrack hill there's just no durati

It depends on where you live and how much you bicycle. 133ft @ 11% is a speed bump to most competitive or avid amateur cyclists. Where I live 1000ft of climbing per hour would be "hilly" but not mountainous. In mountainous r

Yep, absolutely. There have been watering limits/bans for as long as I can remember. (I'm in my mid-40s). Some towns have them and some don't. But the signs go up when we go into droughts. As for whether you need to water.
