Ordinary users don't know. They bought a robo-vac, they do not necessarily know it comes with a microphone or camera. I work in tech, I never thought about buying one, so I never looked into them. Still, I am surprised they come with m

I am not sure Jobs was always a great boss, but if that conversation is somewhat true, it would have completely worked for me: - Big boss doesn't just yell at the product manager who then yells at the team leads who then calls "al

In my country the Government requires any salesman to have some computer for the sake of sending the info about any sell preferably immediately. I don't know why does they need this, maybe it is making easier for them buying the gold t

I am not in that field, just a curious citizen, but Siemens seems to offer synthetic inertia gear too: https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/products-servi...

This is being done and it's called synthetic inertia. Just with capacitors and batteries instead of spinning motors.

What about NDA's? I couldn't in good conscience drill down with someone from some other company into the projects I am currently working on.

I like the idea, I just don't know how to implement a robust micropayment system that does not require a lot of messages back and forth for a transaction. Given the intended use-case, that would not work.

No, Quickdraw in 7.5 and higher (maybe before) supported 8 bit alpha channels. Classic MacOS didn't have a compositor, so redrawing windows was constant and expensive and I guess this was why they didn't do soft drop shadows.

The outer solar system is a pretty inhospitable place due to cold, darkness and cosmic rays. You'd need a lot of nuclear power plants to survive there, and it must be the most depressing existence living below ground.

Well, even more recent reports from Germany also claim that wolves are damn clever to cope even with e-fences. Unfortunately, the question of wild wolves roaming the country now has become a cultural war issue where you can easily guess the

House of Stark will still be happy to hear their heraldic animal is back. But yeah, clever marketing by this company.

The boosters of the Ariane 5 were also developed into the French M51 SLBM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M51_(missile)

Also the biggest German rocket since V2.

The rocket started oscillating before. I believe it was pure coincidence that the launch termination system kicked in when they started the pitchover manoeuvre.

>We spend 70-80 hours a week in the office and, more often than not, work nights and weekends. That's a red flag if I ever saw one. Hardly anyone can sustain 70h/w for longer than a year without drastically losing productivity.

Happy that it's not just me. I tried it a couple of times, and for small problems, I could make it work, albeit with refactorings both to the code and tests. But for more complicated topics, I never fully grasped all the details befor

Also in pigments. There still has to be lots and lots of old devices, paint in houses, glass ware etc. around that derive their color from Cadmium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_pigments

That's a smart idea I didn't think of. I've been arguing with Copilot back and forth where it gave me a half-working solution that seemed overly complicated but since I was new to the tech used, I couldn't say what exact

I am a bit confused, as I don't think it proves the point. HiDPI is so much easier on the eye than subpixel rendering. HiDPI screens look closer to print than to 96 DPI Windows 7. Maybe that's just me b/c I always found the c

That basically means nuclear is the main competitor to renewables. Nuclear has extremely high Capex, so want to run as much as possible. Renewables are dependent on the weather and want to produce when the sun is out or the wind is blowing.

Yeah, I also remember. It was the frothy time of the dot-com era where anyone with a novel idea could raise a couple millions. I was also scratching my head how you'd make money off Linux desktop users, considering there were very few
