I’m not a photographer, nor a creative expert, but my understanding is that colour work is one place that that MacOS actually excels, fundamentally, at at the operating system level. It’s able to handle colour profiles correctly on a per ap

I think this is sometimes missed when considering why Flash was so popular. The rich all in one tooling is one part, but the packaging, and sandboxed nature of them is what spawned the ecosystem. An author could just focus on their experien

I actually think there’s a fairly large gap for new and innovative geospatial tools/solutions in the open-source space. It’s true that alot of databases that have “Support for Geospatial” - but that can mean a a lot of things, often wi

Well NASCAR is just a sport. Crypto might well be the biggest vehicle for financial fraud the world has ever seen. Whatever you think of Crypto more broadly, millions of innocent people are being prayed on, who have lost collectively, liter

I was at the time and continue to be astonished by the lack of foresight when it came to the pandemic. In business management, financial markets, hiring, investment, real estate patterns etc etc. There have been some lasting effects, but

And thats great. The best functioning teams mix a set of people, with a diverse set of qualities, quirks, interests and disinterests. And work to accommodate them all.

Thats interesting. My initial thoughts on this came the from the opposite side in terms of Taiwans security. One of the major bounties for invading Taiwan would be in the acquisition and control of their chip manufacturing. Which - as you m

I agree that the additional value add over a video call might not be there, though the author did seem to speak of Workroom being somewhat compelling. But remember that a single Telepresence room can cost $60k - $600k, plus an ongoing subsc

Yeah its disingenuous to call BlueJ an IDE. Its just an educational tool, nothing more, designed to give a soft on ramp into OOP and programming in general.

See it through. I know sometimes at university it can feel like your having your wings clipped, or that your not getting the 'real' experience. But it won't last forever, and what it does well - conveying often unintuitive OO

The borrow checker makes a doublily linked list difficult, from my understanding. They're almost always a bad data structure to pick though, as the speed difference between being able to iterate a contiguous list, and even completely r

I guess the question is - can we maintain the standard that is ‘qualified pilot’ as it is today while making it accessible enough for this to scale. Learning to drive and learning to fly isn’t the same bar today. And if Lilium think Palo Al

I guess the question is should they be _made_ to do it. If someone comes along and creates a device that has those features, like we've seen with the Framework laptop, that's great. For the people that want that kind of device wit

I don’t know if there’s any right or wrong approach here. For instance. It’s certainly nice that Windows supports its entire back catalogue. It’s also nice that MacOS has been able to reap the benefit of deprecations, breaking changes, and

You can solve alot of these with multi-module projects, at least in Kotlin/Java. You have a single codebase, with modules for each route, and modules for shared infra/domain code. Maven builds a JAR for each Route with only the re

Anandtechs article covers this in a lot of detail. But yeah it is supposed that 400GBps is peak bandwidth for the entire SoC. That’s CPU incl pow power cores, GPU, NPU and whatever else firing on all cylinders, in an ideal access pattern.

I'm a recent newcomer to GO as a Kotlin native. Initially I was taken back by the language, I felt we'd stepped back 15 years in language and design principles. I decried the lack of many of these features. Today I feel more like

I see these points. But I guess personally, as someone that benefits financially from technology and the internet, I feel some level of responsibility to ensure that it isn't used to exploit the most vulnerable in society.

I didn't realise that theres no requirement to scan. So I'll yield on that. But its still possible that Apple are preparing for a scenario where it does become a requirement in the future. As for the E2EE part, I can't imagin

You'd need 30 of them. And upload them iCloud. I guess the neural part is a bit of a blackbox, im not sure if theres a way for external parties to verify its legitimatcy. But again, any change to would go noticed.

Im not sure if im missing something here, but from what I understand, what Apple is proposing is an enormous privacy boon that seems to be completely misunderstood. All cloud providers are required to, and do, make these scans. The proposal
