I think Singapore is one of my other favourite cities in addition to Helsinki! In many ways it's very different though - while the taxes are lower, its generally much more expensive, especially if you have kids. Singapore is a very den

I would echo this. If you want to experience the best parts of Nordic living (clean/functional everything, super close to nature, great free education, egalitarian attitudes) and are a tech entrepreneur or an investor, Helsinki offers

Yes, you can pay for a private dentist, get seen very fast, and you even get that part subsidised by the government if you are a resident. It's quite cheap, and the dentists are excellent. I'm from Helsinki but have been living in

I would try to keep your current Bay Area job and continue working remotely for the same company from Helsinki. Best of both worlds

Your upper limit for geothermal seems a bit high, typical installation is 20-30k. But commercial viability depends on typical outside temperature and time frame for payback

Interesting. Qt6 is released next month, right?

What kind of real-time collab would you like to see? Figma style real-time multi-player notation, or something else?

Yeah.. both Zoom and Google Meet have >720p video but the bitrate especially on Zoom is a travesty, 600kbps/1.2mbps stream with all the different resolutions in the same stream. The codec situation with h264/HEVC/vp9/

Yep, all of that is in the series too. History has largely forgotten her, these days she would have gotten far more credit for her contributions to their scientific work.

She is portrayed quite well in the recent National Geographic series about Einstein's life, "Genius". Well worth watching. Mileva was a talented physicist and mathematician, contributed significantly to Einstein's early

Sony released some software a couple of months ago that lets you use most of their DSLRs as webcams with USB. My goodness, paired with a fast lens, what a difference to my MacBook webcam, even with these ml blurred backgrounds! It's on

I think platform specific frameworks that won't work anywhere else easily will be detrimental to Apple in the long term. I think it's ultimately in Apple's interest to try to make tooling that enables MacOS/iOS apps to w

I guess that's the flip side if you build on 100% Apple specific stack - Cocoa, Objective-C/Swift, Coregraphics etc. Porting your app to other platforms later won't be simple. Maybe decision makers at Sketch were looking at s

I find at least zooming in/out large project files to be much faster in Figma. Lack of good offline workflow sucks but the overall features and cross-compatibility means nearly everyone is moving to Figma. Sketch isn’t bad software at

Hey, saw your comments a couple of weeks ago on the wavenetVA repo, this is looking great! Will try training spring reverb and analog tape, those have been pretty hard to model with DSP. Also, what do you think about diffwave? Only seen spe

This is why I think quotes like "making humans a multi-planetary species" sound like the speaker hasn't fully realised how dependent/part of the whole biosphere we are, and not functional as an isolated species.

yes, it's hassle but looking back at photos taken with them always surprises me. Something about it.. Feel like more real memories than digital (especially phone) photos

Great photos and a nice story. I have the same Pentax camera, can be bought for pennies now. Sometimes it's bundled with Pentax 50mm 1.4 Super Takumar - a great lens

It's free, but they have some additional hardware they sell. Founder's dad is a palm oil billionaire from Malaysia, maybe that's how they can keep it free? Dunno. It's a great product, I really like it.

These are wild animals who are abducted and then chained to do forced labour. It doesn't sound like a happy life and if they had a choice in the matter, I doubt they would volunteer

I doubt Apple's arm license will be affected. But I think they will be getting tougher competition in the sense that Android phones will be getting a fair bit better now - most of them will be using super well integrated Nvidia GPU&#x
