The M1 Macbooks have a decent webcam, if you can stand machine learning "interference" in your video stream that is. Beyond that, the best is to use a stand for a recent phone rear camera (you can use a separate account and invite

It's also quite funny that Quaid (who made copywrite) was sued by a protection vendor... but won! "We hold that: (1) Quaid did not infringe Vault's exclusive right to reproduce its program in copies under § 106(1); (2) Quaid&

We are interested in the same audio gear. But they have CABLES! Most people I know would rather want a headset without any and I suppose that wireless devices come with an array of software problems that Apple can fix better than the others

We use λ with Go and the change between the service and its λ counterpart is really minimal. FYI, we're using https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-go-api-proxy which supports most Go web frameworks. Edit: We als

Oh yes! I am holding off purchasing multiple ARM Macs until homebrew works properly. We need them for our development and ops work, and now these uber-cool Macs are out, buying old Intel ones has become a no-no too, so we don't buy any

Had to upvote, since I'm currently building a quite complex web application (using Svelte) for which I'm trying to restrict myself to 1Mb JS uncompressed (including SVG paths). To do this, there is almost no runtime dependencies -

It is good that Huawei is releasing software APIs for developers. However, despite them having the best phone cameras, I can't have one and be their customer. I would really want to though. The core of the problem predates the Google b

It's also funny that Johny Srouji and probably others in his team come from the team at Intel in Israel that "saved" Intel in the early 2000s by designing the Intel Core architecture which is still used by Intel today. cf. An

The list of old Apple devices that still work well is impressive: I still have one original iPad, an iPhone 3GS, several iPhone 4. Same goes for the more recent ones, with the exception of the few devices that I dropped on hard floors over

Go has excellent support for cross-platform compilation. You could even set up a repo with CI to build the tools you want (since I presume you don't trust binaries) for many platforms. You could build it within a Docker container local

Sorry, I meant the iMac (G3) in 1998 - maybe it's not the best pic then since it's an eMac that came later... The iPod was 2001, 3 years after the first iMac.
