30% might be fair when you have a choice of either marketing and selling your app yourself, or just using an app store to do everything for you. But when you are forced to use the app store, things get really stupid really fast. Apple sti

Airport security never makes me feel safe. It makes me feel violated and anxious. I haven't really flown before 9/11, but I have used the subway in my city daily both before and after they installed metal detectors and started ran

Having just finished my software-defined analog video decoder[0], I've gotta say, my mind is thoroughly blown by just how much of an engineering achievement television must've been at the time when it was invented. It must have al

You can decode a PAL signal without any memory, the memory is only needed to correct for phase errors. In SECAM though, it's a hard requirement because the two color components, Db and Dr, are transmitted on alternating lines, and you

That and modern digital TV is just incredibly boring from the technical standpoint. Because everything is a computer these days, it's just some MPEG-2 video. The only thing impressive about it is that they managed to squeeze multiple

These sorts of things feel like they would be quite inefficient on a general-purpose CPU so you would want to do them on some sort of dedicated DSP hardware instead. So I would expect an earbud to use some sort of specialized microcontrolle

In my country, for example, buying phones from carriers as part of your plan just isn't a thing . As in, you couldn't do it even if you wanted to. Same for postpaid plans and contracts. As a result, quite a lot of people use the

Oh it will. Firstly, neither OpenAI nor Anthropic is profitable, by a wide margin — investors are going to get impatient at some point. Secondly, people that aren't enthusiastic about this whole thing are already experiencing somethi

I test ReactOS every now and then on a crappy 2011-ish laptop I bought from a thrift store a while ago to test one of my projects on Windows and Linux on real hardware. Last time was about a month ago. It's still easier to list what wo

Of course not. You would be surprised how many developers don't even consider using an LLM in their workflow, myself included. Can't wait for this hype to end.

Linux doesn't have stable APIs or ABIs, has a million ways of doing the same thing (each slightly broken in a different way), has trouble with modern hardware features like HDR or even high-DPI screens, and requires you to fiddle with

You're underestimating just how rare IPv6 is in my country. It's mostly found only in datacenters.

There are two different things that can be called consistency. Visual consistency means that your app looks as similar as possible across platforms. Regardless of those platforms' native UI. It's the bad kind. UX consistency m

These rumors about touchscreen MacBooks have been going around for at least 10 years. At this point I don't believe any of it. Especially with how they sell keyboards for iPads.

The fun part for me is that an old dumb phone could replace, like, 50% of my smartphone usage, if I could use Telegram on it . We even still have 2G networks with no plans to shut them down. So, a J2ME Telegram client has been on my list o

Transliteration is certainly a thing but it's only ever used as a last resort when you really have to pass Russian text through a system that only supports the Latin alphabet, or when you can't input Cyrillic for some other reas
