I will put another monitor into the mix because it is the first of its kind and might interest some: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1621993-REG/lg_27ep95... It is a full 27" OLED panel for $$$ ($

I know very little about aerospace, but from a manufacturing perspective it seems like having a single part or unit that you need to manufacture and test would be simpler but I imagine that this offloads complexity to the flight control sof

I am confused at how people don’t see it Sneakers are physical NFTs – StockX, the largest market for trading sneakers, did $1.8b in GMV last year. OpenSea, the largest market for trading NFTs, did $3.4b. Sneakers and NFTs are both worth w

BitTorrent is so good and I am surprised that I don’t see it in more places Using a private key for mutations is a great idea. I believe it is similar to how BitTorrent Live (undocumented) was implemented, where new content was added to a m

Apple enabled WebGL 2.0 by default as of iOS 15.0, and Apple was the company who proposed WebGPU to the W3C (which was its own news story because Apple started the debate over shader language)

Solar power itself is intermittent, yes. But it is not a risky investment – quite the opposite actually. You can buy panels and inverters with 25yr manufacturer warranties. Maintenance costs are low and predictable (cleaning panels, replaci

This project feels similar in spirit to Zig, which has robust compile time evaluation and reflection. The cool part about Zig is that it uses this ability (via the `comptime` keyword) to power it’s generic system, and not vice versa (lookin

Worker co-ops don't eliminate executive roles, though. They just make it so that executives serve at the pleasure of the members (and are usually elected in some form). Mondragon has a President, who was formerly a Vice President and M

The word “telemetry” can mean a lot more than “detailed usage data to inform design decisions” I’m talking extremely basic things, like, what are the most popular crashes in the app? Which did I introduce in the most recent version? Why is

by conradev 5y ago
Absolutely. There are steps that software can take to build this trust, though, like - Have a screen that shows all telemetry that is going to be or has been sent - Ask for permission to send any telemetry, or certain types of telemetry (i.

by conradev 5y ago
I totally agree. Telemetry is invaluable to making software better. Transparency is key here. If projects explained the steps taken to anonymize the data (either provably using Differential Privacy, or approximated via some other means), I

That is a trade off in that you can no longer randomly access a single file without decompressing the entire stream. That is often desired for file archives. For use cases like genomics, though, reads from random offsets are common, hence t

T-Mobile switched from CGNAT to 464XLAT and an IPv6-only network something like 7 years ago … but I believe they heavily filter the traffic in said IPv6 network, so that the addresses are not reachable

There are a lot of little tidbits in the changelog. For example: “Interactive mode from the openssl program has been removed From now on, running it without arguments is equivalent to openssl help.” https://github.com/openss

You could pull those out and index them using generated columns, though. That can make things a lot easier on the application side, where the code just needs to insert the JSON blob

If you want to read a pretty good account of the atmosphere and attitude at the time, I highly recommend reading this book, if you can find a copy: http://talesofsfcacophony.com/ It goes into the origins of Burning Man, San

This makes a lot of sense to me through an efficiency lens. Facebook could spend a lot of money to get engineers beefy workstations, and then have each of these workstations clone the same repository and build the same index locally. Or, th

Does this use the text input stack provided by the platforms? Or is it parsing raw keyboard events? I only ask because if it doesn't use platform text input, that is a non-starter for mobile. It also would mean having to reimplement pl

Usually the way it works is that _using_ the software is illegal, but distributing its source code is not. Code is covered by the first amendment in the US.

Yeah. I will say, though, I am happy that people are having the uncomfortable realization that they have very little control over what their iPhone does.
