I think being raised in impossible idealism is maybe an understated part of this, for sure. My main impression from adults as a kid in the 90s was that the world’s problems were solved. 9/11 was a very rude awakening.

Yea I was recently considering a Boox device but this turned me against it. It’s not even running a recent version of Android (only Android 11).

I would describe typed code as more readable, not less. I take “readability” to mean ease of understanding, not how much my code sounds like written english. Not knowing what the type of something is makes understanding harder.

True, they have been more stable since the acquisition now that you mention it. Our implementation of their API was a bit of a mess so it can be hard to see through our own crap sometimes to give credit where its due haha.

This is Dropbox Sign, not Dropbox. It’s a document signing product akin to Docusign, and was called Hellosign before Dropbox acquired them. We are a customer of theirs at my startup, and as far as I can tell Dropbox has made very few change

> The only movies which would require upscaling to 4K are those released between about mid-2000s to mid-2010s, the advent of native digital cinema, but filmed in 2K. Everything before was filmed in 35mm film, which can be scanned to 4K w

What does "modern levels of image quality" mean in this context? The article is about AI upscaling "True Lies", which was shot on 35mm film. 35mm provides a very high level of detail -- about equivalent in resolution to

It's a fundamentally different concept of photography though, one that becomes more similar to a painting or collage than a captured frame of light. Regardless of the merits of one over the other are for the purposes of storytelling, i

"Information" in terms of, what does this thing look like -- could maybe be determined from other shots -- yes, sure. But I think "information" in the context of film here refers to the indexical mark of light upon the i

It's frustrating that the article doesn't mention this relatively simple, well understood, and very relevant principle. (Unless I just missed it somewhere, someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

> On the other hand, the state of HDR support is a mess right now in software players. Playing HDR content in common players like VLC, QuickTime, IINA, and Infuse will give you significantly different results between all of them. This is

I don't think there's any way to reasonable describe a life sentence as lenient, unless one was facing the death penalty.

I realize not everyone can just pack a carry-on, but as one of those types, traveling with "4 big bags" anywhere just seems insane to me. What do you bring that takes up so much space?

Well it seems like we’ve hit Godwin’s law already, so this is probably a good point to stop.

Not to be a downer, I do sympathize with all you wrote here. But its not a simple as, people have different preferences and we should let everyone do what suits them. Cars have major externalities that harm the environment and affects the w

On top of that… cars have only been around for about a century. Plenty of people raised kids before then.

Could it be both? I’m imagining a cross contamination issue, like the morels being left on a contaminated counter.

The video game console question is very interesting. I think a lot of right-to-repair advocates, right now, are fine with carving out an exception, for a few reasons. One, video game consoles have no pretense to being generalized computing

Well, a macbook is not the only thing in my bag. If you want to keep down the weight of your pack, you shave off the ounces where you can.

I would think that there are very few scenarios where an email isn't cheaper than the alternative. I would guess that fully covering patient emails would save insurance companies money in the long run, but why do that when you can boos

Not to mention, you need to give the DisplayLink driver permission to record your screen. Which is probably fine from a security standpoint, but doesn't feel great. I've used both and while Displaylink works, native support is d

I have an M2 13" air for a personal computer and a 14" pro for work. The Air is noticeably lighter and much easier to throw in a bag without thinking about managing weight. The Pro is a fine weight for commuting, but for traveling

I’m a 30-something who lives in the big city so I haven’t had a car since the 2003 Volvo S60 I had in high school. I always said I’d probably get a car when I could get an electric one in middle age, and it looks like that day may be coming

I think your point is valid, but it is also the job of journalists to effectively communicate to the public, so if a turn of phrase is repeatedly misunderstood by a segment of the public, it may make sense to reevaluate it.
