I have to agree: they took away 2 features I was using and gave me better performance in the one place I don't care about performance.

After a casual read: yes, I believe so, in that it does not require 3rd party API's. You do still need to run it on a server that your client device can connect to. If your goal is an assistant that does not report back to Apple/G

Aside from the manueverability problem mentioned in other comments, the tether has a materials problem: it needs to hold the combined ship and couter weights at approx 1g.

I'm curious what method is being used for generating the words. I played around with humanhash a while back for similar purposes.

Not a physicist -> My assumption is that this is because x,y,z are just constructs to model physical space. They don't exist and we could just as well describe space with cartisian coordinates or some other system where the dimensio

Thank you for the thoughtful responses! I am still getting my head around some of this, so I love hearing solutions I have not thought of. "common groups of users encrypt data for each other with each others keys" I agree, but I t

I want this for all the reasons they list, but it seems there are huge unanswered questions for anything beyond a permission-less static page. Imagine you are developing a modern web app in the locked open paradigm. Is all system data distr

I'm not a physicist, but I would hazard: it would require a very non-spherical object to create an a-circular crater because ground resistence forces material to move primarily parallel to the surface of the planet/moon, which ten

Nope, I'm not calling anyone lazy! It is certainly whining. Maybe it is justified whining for some, but in my experience it is not. Either way, I think there needs to be some perspective here. To your point: there are noise-cancelling

Well written and funny! ...but I'm weary of the first world whining about open plans. I spent many years in traditional floor plans and many with open. I prefer open and find that headphones and slack provide 90% of the privacy I need

Ignoring the idiotic patriotism, that image is incorrect: Russia, China, and India have all placed landers on the moon.

I wonder if the front-back case is the top-most red dot. This would be explained if the front person was innocent and the person behind them copied. Not having the benefit of collusion, they have more shared wrong answers. Also, they have l

"The best way to achieve a global, optimal monoculture..." Why would you assume that the best monoculture is better than an ensemble of locally optimal cultures? It seems unlikely for that to be true when the variables that cultur

I wish the API used the new index, but unfortunately it still provides a very limited and incomplete search functionality.

From a buyer's perspective though, a guaranteed 43% retention in value vs a gamble on 61% seems like a logical trade-off.

There's another reference when Bender meets Flexo: they get excited because they both have serial numbers that can be expressed as the sum of 2 cubes.

Right on, I get that, but truthy(NaN) and truthy(5) both return true, so you still don't know if the calculation isNaN. Btw, I should have said first: I love the article in general and it's great to see these techniques becoming more mainst
