Roku even supports Airplay. Not sure who the Apple TV is for at this point.

100 dollars certainly covers the cost of the hardware. These streaming devices use commodity chips and run Linux. This isn’t a crazy R&D project. The only real value-add from Roku is the software.

"On typical SoCs, drivers have intimate knowledge of the underlying hardware, and they hard-code its precise layout: how many registers, how many pins, how things relate to each other, etc...... However, Apple is unique in putting emph

Demand for electronics being up is directly correlated to lockdowns. PCs had been a declining sector for years before covid lockdowns.

I wonder why they didn’t go with OCaml, this type of task seems like it is the bread and butter of the ML family.

Rakuten eReaders also have this integration. In fact, Rakuten owned Overdrive for a while.

If anyone is unfamiliar with the case, this is a textbook example of government overreach and lying to the public. There is little reason to believe any of the claims against backpage are true. One of the main people responsible for this is

Apple's solution was akin to taking a Tesla going 80 mph on a freeway, suddenly turning on "limp" mode and locking the car to 10 mph, all without informing the user anything abnormal was going on.

The problem with this mask business is it treats masks as the only variable. The United States is incredibly unhealthy and most people do not get enough exercise or spend enough time outdoors. It would not surprise me if governments would o

GDPR has effectively added a pointless pop up to every serious webpage. It has made the web experience of almost every single user, measurably worse. Hours of my life have been devoted to accepting cookies since GDPR. Complete waste of huma

Do you have any concrete criticism or are you just spreading FUD? How do Windows or Mac OS provide better support for commercial development? The reason Mac OS and Windows have more users is because of pre-installs. It is almost impossible

How are recreational drone pilots “commercial aviation”?

by bgorman 5y ago
If someone wants to intentionally fly a drone into restricted airspace, this will not stop them. Furthermore, your claims about the FAA being created to restrict airspace is revisonist at best. https://www.faa.gov/about&#x2F

by bgorman 5y ago
This is worrying. The FAA was never created to regulate drones. Hobbyist pilots have been safely flying RC planes for decades. We need to return regulatory power to legislators, not unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. Another example is t

This is exactly right. Big tech doesn’t have a unionized workforce, and thus do not create solid blue votes- so they will never be favored. Big Tech has been playing with fire warning up to democratic politicians.

I’m sorry you are having trouble with Clojure. One thing to keep in mind is that Clojure has excellent interop with Java, and it is trivial to write a small Clojure wrapper that just does critical thing for your dependency injection system

When I switched to emacs, I thought org-mode and repl integration would be the killer features. I was wrong- Magit is best emacs feature by far. It’s great that parts of the magit experience have been separated into packages. Perhaps now me

Some devices like the Magic Mouse become paperweights after the battery fails and cannot be repaired at all. I think one part of the problem is all of the encouragement and virtue signaling around recycling. A friend told me “Apple is the b
