It also depends on many factors like your screen resolution. Most site I go to on my small laptop, 80% of the screen is covered with ads.

I highly recommend both Tunic and The Witness if you enjoyed Outer Wilds. But yes, the concept of "knowledge" being the power ups you gain throughout the game is truly done fantastically in Outer Wilds, and few other games come cl

I see, I did find it slightly suspicious that they loaded the file using Image.open instead of just reading the bytes directly. Thanks!

Can someone explain to me where the palette is defined? If it's not in the bytes of waldo.gif, is it provided by the website itself? If I save the gif file, I still see it as the same on my computer. Is it not true that the bytes of th

Well, for some definition of "make sense" yes, any arbitrary positive decimal number can have a factorial, and even negative non-integer numbers, thanks to the gamma function. I wouldn't really say it makes "sense"

People who have zero connection to Google or Waymo have gotten in the program and used the service for months. Waymo also removed any sort of NDA allowing people to post videos of the full experience, hence all the videos on Youtube. Lastly

Considering Waymo has had almost a year of no-one-in-driverseat service in Phoenix, I would say they are overall ahead, even though that's not in SF specifically. Being first to driverless in SF also shows that. They are definitely tak

I assume the amount of changes is much higher for the more complex tax forms, which 99% of people don't need. If this free software can even just handle the free tier or semi-complex tier filing, it's still a huge step.

It's well known fact that the government can auto-file for most people, it's not really a secret. Many other countries do it, it's been proven to work just fine.

So if a large non-profit wants to create an app, let's say Wikipedia, they would have to potentially pay millions? What about people in third world countries where value of their money is worth a fraction, how will they compete?

by ehsankia 5y ago
It could be an option, but there is also value for everyone, poor or rich, no matter in what country, being able to host an app, no matter no popular, without going bankrupt. It's the same with Youtube; the ad-model is not ideal, but t

What does that have to do with what I said? I'm not talking about payment companies at all. 30% is for platforms, not payment companies.

You're paying for compute, whereas you can put an app on a store for (basically) free. A million people can download your app and you wouldn't pay a penny more, whereas if a million people suddenly used your AWS app, you'd se

processing fees are on the order of 2-3% at most, platform fees are 30%. That being said, the platforms do incur all sorts of other costs, but these costs are unequally shared across all apps. A free app with no ads does not pay anything bu

I wasn't giving you advice, and I still maintain that it is the superior method. You can sear however and as much as you want to. The point is that your searing isn't limited and compromised for the inside of the steak. You'r

For steak, my first thought was that the objectively best way to cook steak is sous-vide + quick sear. I realize not everyone has sous-vide, but that produces the best results where the entire steak is cooked to the exact perfect doneness,

To me the point was how even pro chefs don't agree or know the answer. People like Kenji or Ragusea showed me how much of existing tricks aren't based in any real food science.

by ehsankia 5y ago
I don't think it's about absorbing, but more about how you pat dry your meat before searing. But then who wants to sit and pat dry two dozen tiny mushrooms one by one after wetting them.

If you have a remote box, probably just remote SSH + web IDE (potentially running on your remote box). For full local, you'd do it through the Crostini layer, which is basically Debian.
