You’re forgetting about foveated rendering. You don’t need the 4k60 stream if you’re not looking at it, and you can only look at one screen at once. I think it’s doable.

I met that guy at a glider meetup a few months after that record. That Transonic plane is huge. He managed to fit the 3m wingspan into a regular car, lengthwise. I never got out to Parker Mountain but those guys had great stories. 100G will

I think you missed a word. "Good" tests is a crucial part of the statement. It's totally possible to write bad tests, the same way it's possible to write bad code.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-QxZv_wJ1aA Airport bird dogs are already a thing. Seems like a dream job for a dog. But you need a full-time handler, a car, a kennel, training and eventually a replacement. They can’t work 24

I think it’s to do with focal length relative to the object - the length of the camera and size of the aperture relative to the size of the subject. Less about the cost of the lens, and more about its diameter and the camera’s length, I thi

It's summer here in New Zealand, and I have been using my AVP to code outside in the sunshine. There's no monitor glare and I'm not stuck inside. It's great.

This is incredible. What a fun interactive demo, as well. I love the way I can copy maps between steps to iterate as I go. Well done!

A friend of mine wrote a book. The publisher chose the title and the cover, and my friend absolutely hates both. He had no say in it, and his name is now associated with both the title and the cover art.

Yes, you can. I have double-sided tape under mine to keep it on my desk, otherwise you pick both up. I really like them stuck-down, I use one on my bedside table and one on my desk.

Eleven Table Tennis. It's so much fun. The controller is the same weight as a paddle, and it's responsive enough to "feel" right. It's really improved my game and is a surprising amount of exercise.

There is probably a "trailing indicator" effect at play here. I believe people don't sell the phone immediately, but try and find a buyer later. It will take a few thefts of un-sellable iPhones before the thief realises that

zod and yup both give runtime types and they're great. They can also export typescript types. But as far as I understand it, typescript is a layer "on top of" javascript that does not exist at runtime. It all gets stripped an
