If you're in San Francisco or New York, maybe. If you're in the rust belt, that's going to be a much higher proportion of your costs.

Is this also why Hades has been lagging, dropping frames, and running at a much lower framerate for months while Discord app DMs (and only DMs) are open?

Agreed. Seems like a miscast. Feels like any of the protagonists of Silicon Valley could have played the character better. Well, maybe not Kumail Nanjiani, for the same reason as McHale.

That was sarcastic, right? Heroku is owned by Salesforce. Pretty sure they can afford just about anything Oracle can.

"Other people have no choice but to trust NIST" is not a good argument for trusting NIST. Somehow I don't imagine the NSA is concerned about -- and is probably actively in favor of -- those organizations having backdoors.

Developers don't see that though. It only looks like that on iOS to users. Behind the scenes, apps are still written using files. Hell, Apple eventually had to add its own "Files" app because storing things and finding them a

There are plenty of really dynamically-typed languages. io is probably the most so of them, but I'd argue Smalltalk and even Objective-C are pretty up there.

I have to wonder how this is going to work such that it doesn't just leave an abortion clinic-shaped hole in your location history. Sure, they're turning it off for other "sensitive" locations, but unless those locations

There are a number of considerations there. Size is only one of them. Speed and internal processor state effects are two others. For instance, a larger, slower instruction might prevent a pipeline stall in a particular function or might ena

Policy is nice, but what’s the statute of limitations? If the next administration can decide to bring charges, this is no protection.

If it's V2V you have the potential for malicious actors to send signals not actually describing what the car is doing. Visual/radar/lidar and AI interpretation thereof are needed as a fallback to prevent crashes. If it's

If I'm reading this right, this actually has a larger usable band gap range than traditional photovoltaics -- the article talks about capturing the high-energy photons -- in the first pass. This means that the cell can actually capture

There were several projectors (such as the Century JJ) which could show 35 and 70mm that were stuck with only 35mm capability after the Dolby Digital upgrade; the mounting location blocked the 70mm egress slot. There were workarounds that i

"Entropically more favorable to construct" was my first thought. If you have the option of a structure to do X with 8 copies of one molecule in a radially symmetric arrangement, and a structure to do X with 5 different molecules t

Very cool. I had no idea antiprotons -- well, an antiproton and an electron -- could orbit a nucleus. Does it fill up the usual quantum state of the first electron, or does it have its own set of quantum states to fill? Can they get a secon

The express lanes on 580 do this too, but with one, two, or three lights, instead of a numeral.

So I love the concept, but the execution is kinda buggy, at least on macOS 11.6.3. I opened it and typed 1+<mash on top row of keyboard around 190 digits><return>. It calculated it correctly, but the Stop button never turned bac

The statistics are BS. Try reporting any non-violent crime, particularly property crime, and see how far you get. Maybe a store like Target or Safeway can get some of its reports taken seriously, but individuals can't. The police will

First video, once you skip the first 17 minutes which have nothing at all to do with Starlink, is based on two premises: 1. That on-orbit and orbit-to-surface bandwidth will never increase, and 2. That the prototype receivers are the final

IIRC, new batteries contain a semi-liquid electrolyte, which damps the bounce. When discharged, it becomes much more rigid, so the battery bounces. Compare dropping a gallon jug with ~a cup of water in it vs a cup frozen into ice to see wha

I think it has something to do with when the data analyzed is from: the nadir of the delta wave, before omicron. They mention a low base transmission rate, which is very much no longer applicable, and say the results are applicable to China

If they're going to do something like this (and honestly, their pricing model isn't terrible. $798 upfront vs $858 over 3 years or $930 over 36 months equates to 2.5% or 5.5% APR simple interest -- way cheaper than credit card deb

Nope. Apportable went the other way, compiling Objective-C on Android, and linking against the Android NDK. They did have a tool for automagically converting .jar files into .frameworks (that ultimately just linked against JNI) so you could

I think this is why crime is "falling" in San Francisco. The cops make no arrests, and often don't even take police reports. A few months ago I and everyone else in this store got pepper-sprayed by a shoplifter (the way the s
