My school has been looking for good options to build a tool that will let students login, check the accuracy of their transcripts, and then file any issues. Retool looks promising but the pricing structure is per user. Is anyone able to poi

I remember seeing reports that the Qualcomm powered iPhones has superior performance over the intel variation. I wonder if Intel has been able to make improvements to reduce the gap?

I think the low profile keyboard + touch bar combo is all about training users for what Apple sees as their new interaction model: a haptic keyboard; use your apple pencil with it, whatever, but when typing, it will give feedback similar to

From my perspective it seems unfortunate that google has mishandled these questions to the extent that we’re seeing stories saying the demo was fake. Perhaps the goal is to generate a narrative that the technology is so astonishing that eve

What I find confusing here is that (as someone with zero legal background), I would have thought that if the user has a contract with the Irish subsidiary, that Facebook shouldn’t be able to make a change like this without getting a renewed

I’m curious about what you’re saying here and I’ll certainly be thinking about it more, but here’s something I was thinking about: maybe a step in the right direction would be to require permissions to offer a user configurable time limit.

Out of curiosity, is anyone aware whether it might serve some use to do tests like this virtually? Drive a car around to gather a mass of raw sensor readings on a busy street, and then feed those readings to test cars as inputs? I guess tha

Yeah, from where I sit, sure—maybe this UI thing is a glitch, maybe it’s to preference readability, have to assume it’s a glitch because it doesn’t look good. But really, the problem for me is that the ad itself is a colorful simplistic mes

This hasn’t been my experience, I’ve only spent the money for a leather case once (always used to go caseless) but I’ve had this case for more than a year and It’s held up beautifully.

If anyone cares to, I’m curious about this and it would be great to benefit from your insight. I haven’t had anything to do with autonomous systems, but from my layman perspective it seems as though there would be legitimate benefits to int

Teacher and clever user here. I’ve been interested to watch the roadmap unfold, I helped out with getting some schools on board in my district and it’s really great to see features like this rolling out.

Can you expand on this? I looked at the blog post and as far as I can tell piCards operate the same way as plickers. In my use of Plickers, I can either choose to give each student a specific card for personalized polling, but I can also ju

I work in a public high school and this restriction on .edu is a source of frustration for me- the US-based and post-secondary restrictions on .edu domains are terrible.

Echoing another comment- this is strikingly close to a jekyll theme; I see there's some custom work in there. That said, really beautiful work. It's funny, I was working out whether I could use Jekyll collections for a documentati

Got to keep that arms race going! You didn't take it too far, someone build the first online recruiter focused video game where the prize at the end of each level is the contact details for a more-and-more suitably qualified candidate.

Be that as it may, a consequence of piracy is that Hollywood is forced to the bargaining table. Protesting against that feeling of entitlement to better prices is a common theme on HN, but it ignores the (current) reality that if someone wa

Just on a formatting note, it would be great to have a static generator that takes markdown input and generates this kind of html book with footnotes and references. Similar to [spec-md]( http://leebyron.com/spec-md/ ).
