I’ve heard a lot of these claims before and seen them fall flat when you actually start building it. Things like foveated rendering that many (the author included) claim will lead to better graphics and lower power just don’t add up. You ne

This history is a contraction of more than a two decades of continuous development. Watch the matrix (1998) and you will see small, stylish cell phones everywhere. The capacitative touch screen is important, but pretty much everyone who bou

Diatoms are of the more enjoyable things to look at through a microscope. Google Arts and Culture ran a post on this collection a while back that has some really good photos: https://artsandculture.google.com/story/diat

It is not monkey work. But A/B testing can often be more a trapping of scientific than the real thing. Google UXR is hit or miss. They have done a number of poorly run studies on what shade of blue to color buttons without thinking abo

Monopoly literally means a single seller. Duopolies and oligopolies are distinct both in theory and practice.

Though I believe all these companies still make these products. They have simply expanded into other sectors.

I wouldn’t write it off that quickly. The reason we have a two week pay period is a matter of administrative costs. When these drop because they are automated with a computer you can now pay continuously. Why should you work two weeks on c

He probably knew that there around a bunch of hospitals around the geographic center of SF (if you live in that part of town it’s hard to miss), and then did a Google search for the numbers. I used to work at UCSF and this matches my sense

I don’t know if there is any known level of safe lead exposure. In terms of direct impact, this is going to be hard to measure but the risk is nonetheless real. In fact the difficulty of measuring the consequences of mass lead exposure was

Yes and I would strongly recommend not doing this. The display resolution is too low and the motion blur, VAC, and other idiosyncratic VR problems all mean that you will most likely get a nasty headache. I would recommend buying another mon

You could write a book on this point. In fact a few have and they are worth reading. someone at Bell Labs once remarked that 90% of staff worked on development (bringing research into a practical deployment). Based on that they estimate tha

This prompted me to look. Could not find too much though I found this post suggesting that it can go negative. I would assume at a certain point your account would be banned so maybe there is a cap. Personally I would be surprised if these

Just convert .gif to .webm or .mp4 and render the media as a video element. You will save yourself a lot of trouble by replacing gifs with videos.

I’m sure both oil refinery executives and the executive branch of the us government wish that they did have that much control over gas prices. The reality is that gas prices are set by market mechanisms of an international commodity. Gas c

I'm not sure what you want here. Comedians in Cars was a success by any measure. It ran well beyond the point where they had any more good comedians to talk to. But along the way they had some of the greatest Comedians of the 20th cen

A lot of very smart people have also looked at the growth prospects of cloud and urged more investment, but I am not sure if their claims have panned out. The reality is that after a decade of heavy investment Google Cloud is still a distan

Citation needed. I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with AirBnB and I am not sure what you are talking about. Maybe if you can get someone on the phone at 8pm on a Sunday then they might help out.

In general yes, but a customer hostile attitude is also a pretty garbage way to approach business. Nobody grows a business with that attitude. It’s a lousy excuse for a problem that is not that hard to fix.

If you’re discussing Enron and consulting you could just go straight for Accenture’s predecessor: Arthur Andersen which was the responsible party.

Fair. I don’t think anyone transitions from Matlab or Julia to Numpy and feels good about it, but the broader ecosystem advantages are decisive there.

FWIW APL is pretty influential to Matlab which is the inspiration for Numpy, etc. I think the trouble is that the authors are right about the importance of notation but they were also making the first pass and they made some choices that pr

If your game doesn't make money, your studio collapses and Unity loses a customer. They do have an incentive but it's indirect.

Even more bizarre is that 15-25 spots are mostly different hues of orange. A bit improbable to have that many land so close.
