It's actually the other way around. "SuperNodes" (elective service as a kind of hub) caused lots of dropped calls and flaky connections because people were trying to do it on bad home connections. Microsoft switched to centra

It's not just that they have a lot of influence and a lot of people on their platform, it's that they've shown zero interest in responsibility, especially if showing responsibility would reduce usage or advertising dollars.

I thought control latencies still weren't low enough for drones to compete with human piloted aircraft? Unless the solution is AI.

2nd avenue already got pretty torn up with access tunnels, it's not like tunnel boring helped a ton. Also a good chunk of NYC subways were built with cut & cover (sections of IRT 2/3 lines as an example).

1. Minimize dependencies. Much of the problems w/ dependency management have to do with over-coupling and adding lots of random dependencies for things you could just inline into your project. Also why the stdlib is so strong. 2. You c

That's not because of the cameras being mirrorless; it's because (for Canon anyway) they purposely gimp video on their DSLRs to get you to buy their Cine-EOS cameras.

Take a look at the 35mm section, that's explicitly not the conclusion of the article. "The results are very impressive and from our comparisons we think scanned color slide film has a digital equivalent resolution of between 12MP

Everyone is a newcomer. What it comes down to is if you add to the zeitgeist or detract from it.

A lot of it is priority; the trackpad working well is a low priority for most manufacturers in the face of other things like better looking benchmarks etc. That attitude, the holistic view of the experience, is what people are willing to pa

Almost all of Apple's "responsiveness" advantage is from careful software tuning. You could get a windows trackpad to feel as good as Apple's if you tuned the acceleration curves and added better palm detection.

The lens quality barrier at 24MP isn't arbitrary; that's basically the equivalent digital resolution you get from 35mm film.

The lack of support for private repos is still a dealbreaker for both `dep` and `vgo`.

I didn't realize small camera's didn't have an adjustable aperture typically, that makes more sense now.

by bigdubs 9y ago
One thing I'm not understanding here; don't most lenses (and by extension cameras) have adjustable apertures? What is so special about having a F1.4 vs. F2.4 apertures available to the camera? Is it because they can both fire at t

Kind of unrelated, len("two dozen") vs. len("24") doesn't seem very efficient.

Not sure the parallels are as strong as you're making them out to be; there are deep, deep flaws with proof of work as a concept because of the energy consumed. There will probably be a better end state for distributed trust, but we&#x

If one of the motivators for Boston is proximity to top tier universities, as a data point of one I had zero desire to stay in Boston after school and didn't think to get a job in the area. I doubt I would have stayed for Amazon.

Generally we use vendoring, i.e. you have 1.1 in your gopath, but vendor 1.0 in your projects (as long as they're standalone projects). It's also important to limit cross package dependencies as much as possible to avoid these sit
