   Exactly! But that will break the wonderful rectangular design.

   Next time we see gears like this happened something like after 1,500 years. Imagine where human kind would be if progress kept pace without this giant gap!

   As a developer, I would rather have a single key press than a chord.

   I am surprised how many product ignore this fact - that human peripheral vision is more sensitive to movement than the center vision. Sony would put some animation on the bluetooth handsfree unit that distracts me when I am driving at night

   Let's see how the USB-C female connector fares after the same amount of use. Something tells me it'll be busted long before the cable part wears out. All Apple cables seem to have a weakness where the cable joins to the connector

   Good luck getting those in the next MBP. Once a company exceeds a certain size, the normal rules of designing a product for the users stop applying. Mag safe, headphone jack, multiple USB ports, escape key - why were they removed? Who mad

   I suspect most of the slowness of Jira is due to the back end, not the front end.

   a very interesting writeup. ex: Tesla says tyres for a high-performance electric vehicle are challenged in a way that those on a car powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) are not. A two-wheel-drive Model 3 with a long-range battery

    Excellent idea! But, unfortunately, quite unlikely: it assumes extra thought must go into architecture and implementation. If you look around and see the current state of software industry, the rapid increase of entropy in software systems

    in my experience, the author of the code cannot (easily) see own mistakes. you actually want a different person to look at the code to find issues. if this is not a option, write extensive tests.

    while I fully agree with the critique of VLC usability, we have to admit that we get what we paid for with [probably] majority of open source software. what's worse, i don't think there is a reasonable solution for this problem.

    I am afraid mankind is too poor and too stupid for this to happen in the nearest future (~100 years). We can't seem to resolve basic issues here on Earth, like healthcare and education. We spend trillions on pointless wars while large

    1. because it is technically possible? 2. we should not 'believe'. but we should demand an investigation, and if it is true, then we may want to consider investing a bit into securing our infrastructure. maybe. maybe the agenci

    I think the real advantage Tesla has is not that it builds cars, but that it builds batteries. Lots of them. The battery is the most significant part of an EV, cost-wise. Having a massive production capacity in batteries means not only EV
