The change in bokeh is probably because the shape of the physical shutter contributes a little bit to the bokeh. Anyway, apart from the issues in shots with overexposed areas, I don't think the article's images look worse with ele

It's unclear what the intended use of this project is. Is it to somehow add facial gesture recognition to websites? Or is it for children to have some fun in a Scratch-like programming environment? Why does the name have "Midi&quo

Indeed, and in the Netherlands there is something similar to Avtalegiro as well, since more than 20 years ago. And depending on your bank, they even make it easy to reverse a charge up to three months after it has been made if you don'

I guess that's a typo, and you mean the ESP32. It's indeed an amazing little chip, used in the ODROID GO to emulate several old game consoles: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-go/

GCC version 6 and later actually warn about misleading indentation if you use -Wall (which you should), and you can turn on -Werror to ensure you don't forget to fix the mistakes.

Syntax highlighting is very useful, if not then it wouldn't be so commonplace. The other highlighting methods are also useful. But there is not one objective best highlighting method, it actually changes from moment to moment depending

Too many people, including physicists, confuse theories with reality. Quantum mechanics is a very powerful theory that correctly predicts a lot of observed phenomena. But while QM talks about a wavefunction, it doesn't mean the wavefun

It made more sense in 1998 when tinc got its name. It refers to the Internet cabal ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_No_Cabal ), and three-letter agencies which would snoop your network traffic and send in unmarke

Main author of tinc here: it's great to see this get to the front page of HN! Development has been quite slow the last few years. Feel free to contribute to tinc! It would be great to get version 1.1 out the door, and then focus on the

They did mention that they are compression the image data with H.265, so depending on the quality level, low-contrast areas might get smeared out. Also, there are some depth resolving errors here and there, which might be solved by using be

I've seen wildly varying start up times on x86 hardware. I had an Samsung Ativ Book 9+ running stock Debian that with a cold start had fully started X and showed the login prompt before the backlight turned on (about 1 second). I'

It's not so much the speeds that differ, but the micro-architecture. The big cores are typically out-of-order cores with a large amount of cache, to get as many instructions as possible per cycle. The SMALL cores are in-order cores wit

Indeed, Norway protects farmers in order to ensure agriculture is kept alive, as well as keeping remote areas habitable. I think that's a good precaution. However, Norwegian farms are very inefficient compared to for example Dutch farm

As a physicist myself, I find I think of vectors more often as a set of independent magnitudes for each of the coordinate system axes, than of a single magnitude with a direction. That's because in most cases, the physics just works in
