I wrote a reeaally primitive SMTP server in mIRC's scripting language. The reasoning, of course, was that there was an IRC server that I frequented that required a web sign-up, so I wrote mIRC script that screen-scraped the sign-up pag

Could you please explain the mechanism for a consumer sideloading apps onto an iPhone? I've never heard of this being possible.

You may have mixed up where you're responding to: This particular comment thread is not really about the cameras that are in use, but instead about the sound. (Sound recorded by the camera itself -- if it can even record sound -- is es

This isn’t true, really: there are massive amounts of data being pushed about in a modern camera, through custom image pipelines that will do many gigabytes per second of throughout, but none of those are really bottlenecks for the sensor d

This sounds to me like a "just draw the rest of the owl" solution. You're right in that there's nothing you can do with JSONB that you can't do with a custom type, but the larger problem is "do I even know ho

Not an identical match but perhaps as an intuition pump you can think about fourier transform of audio that is "clipping".

For those who use Apple Music and like this genre but have yet to run into it, there's an Apple-curated playlist called "BEATstrumentals" which is mostly lofi-beats-to-whatever-to.

The entire first half of your comment is hilariously uninformed. You have absolutely no idea about the impacts of COVID on Australia and it bleeds out of everything you're saying. You arguing that past infections should mean something

Deaths per capita in Australia is at 10% of the US. If the US had managed to keep things as low as Australia, there would be just under half a million less deaths. Seriously. Half a million. And for that, you won't stay inside your h

Approximately no one in Australia has 'natural immunity', because approximately no one here has had COVID. Those people who are advised by their docotrs not to get vaccinated are few and far between, but it turns out the current v

> "Sir, if we make the general public use this, it will save 24% more lives" Oh no saving lives! What a terrible use of tech . Would it make you feel better if I told you that if we save their lives we can serve them more ads?

It's neither rude nor patronising. The guy isn't an idiot, and I'm genuinely curious about what he thinks -- I don't think I know better than him, I think he has made a rash comment.

This is some kind of weird reductio ad absurdum nonsense. You, sneak, are not that stupid. I've seen you posting before. I know you're not. So honestly: What exactly are you trying to get at, here?

Don't benchmark yourself against other Electron apps. Just promise yourself you'll eventually quit Electron. Electron is nothing more than a deal you make with the devil, selling potential for velocity, only the others are too far

I disagree with most of this, to be perfectly honest. For one, devs don't need root in prod in the vast majority of shops, which aren't FAANG scale. Assuming a nice sane environment where your deploys to pre-prod mirror your prod
