I often think about how Maxwell's equations were simplified because quaternions were hard to deal with by hand. Heaviside reformulated them into calculus, which was easier work with and accurate enough for pretty much everything. But n

You can just stack supercaps in series to increase the voltage.

Thanks!

I don't believe you. Show me your code. I think you just completely made your numbers up.

Could use higher voltages instead.

Apple's done two architecture changes already. Both 68k backwards compatibility on PowerPC and Rosetta PPC backwards compatibility on Intel worked well.

I agree about the matte screen thing. I had one of the last laptops they offered with the matte option, and I used it for 5 years until a month ago, when I bought the rMBP a few weeks before Apple released the crippled new model. (The rumor

Uhh, the 2015 retina has a haptic touchpad.

Seriously? The haptic touch pad is the best thing to ever happen to pointing devices! It is absolutely amazing.

Are you serious? Have you ever tried starting 20k threads?
822.
by fzzzy 10y ago
Are you sure about that? Have you ever tried starting 20,000 threads? Try it.

My point is being sick may have affected his abilities.

Steve Jobs died just over a year after antennagate. He had already been extremely sick for years at that point.

Makes sense! I don't do anything with stocks.

The memory is soldered in to save space, yes. That also means it is not aftermarket upgradeable. But still, they could have soldered 32 gb on.

I remap caps lock to be the control key. I have never in my life used caps lock.

I think they are talking about the USB-C connector detaching at the wall, not the power plug detaching.

How is it obvious that the iPod gave birth to the iPhone? It is a completely different operating system with a completely different user interface.

How is npm run not os encumbered? It just calls out to the shell. Does it ship with a consistent shell on every platform and use that?

Actually, the original engineering and architecture of the internet was intended to provide reliable command & control in the event of a nuclear war. A network of last resort. I can't think of anything more mission critical than th

The point is some people don't, making it harder to read that code.

It is not an integration, it is a service hosted by Mozilla designed to make it easier to share things. You can run your own copy of the open source backend if you want. The full page screenshot feature is coming in the next version in a we

The Page Shot service is run by Mozilla. It provides a download button so you can get a local copy of the image, but you might as well use the OS screenshot if you just want a local copy. Shots are designed to be easily shareable which is w

The Page Shot service is run by Mozilla. The back end is open source and it is easy to change the back end url that the add-on uses. (I work on Page Shot) It would be nice if Min Vid would work on every <video> element. That would see

Incorrect. Apple issued a lithium ion battery recall in the 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_5300#Batteries

While li-ion is widely used in practice, I don't think it's fair to say it is a mature technology (as a sibling commenter points out, there are still lots of research papers coming out in the field) or that it is well understood.
