Is it not due to the inexactness of mapping the image pixels to device pixels? (Similar to what happens when drawing text with antialiasing)?

Febreeze has created a whole marketing campaign based on this phenomenon. They use the term “nose blind”.

Is this a play on the name Caddy (the web server)?

My understanding is that Amazon also takes their chunk of flesh from book publishers/authors. Honest question then: how is that different? You can publish a book but if you aren’t on Amazon you drastically limit your exposure to potent

Oh I’d forgotten about the visualisations. Those were, for me, one of the best parts of Winamp.... other than the sound bite about a llama. :-)

Isn’t that an issue Epic has brought in themselves? Their “Fortnight division” has put at risk their “Unreal Engine division”. Or put another way, they have two products at different levels of the stack and they have consciously chosen to r

Nice! I’ve been using a similar non-OSS tool called Up Next ( https://ellen.li/up-next/ ). It works great but is not open source.

With apps there’s two levels of validation that you can do, and only one is done by the OS. The most common, and automatic, is the verification of the chain of trust. On iOS this happens automatically if you use the standard network APIs ag

I take this to mean that apps that are just a chrome for a website will no longer be approved. I also wonder if they’re targeting apps that use services like CodePush. > This means that the core features and functionality of the app must

Yep. Probably IBM Data Transform Services™️ installed in the cloud plus a custom plugin written to do the ordering. That’s a few folks to deploy and configure the server. A few more for the engineering. Oh and there’s probably a support con

But doesn’t that also raise Chinese import costs the same amount? Or is that where Chinese tariffs in the things they import come into play (like Canadian canola, etc)? This feels like a sort of race to the bottom.

Add to this the fact that you don’t have to memorize which order the “parameters” go. Is it `/width/height` or `/height/width`? To me this is very similar to languages that use names parameters vs positional.

I’d ask some form of “what separates you from your competitors?” I’m interested in why this CEO/company thinks their solution is better? How will they protect their advantage (or rather, how is that advantage protected)?

If you’re on iOS or macOS there’s Network Link Conditioner which does the same thing.

Taking a quick look over Dart’s syntax it doesn’t look very difficult to learn. If folks know a C-like language it looks pretty familiar. I’d guess people would spend a lot more time learning the Flutter API, etc than Dart.

And printers. Although in the linked story the exploit already existed and the guy who did the printing sounds like basically a script-kiddie. https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/30/18119576/pewdiepie-print.

You might want to check out the benchmark I wrote to compare exactly that. https://github.com/jeremywiebe/json-performance

No, I don’t think the project needs to use Codable. The point of that benchmark was to evaluate Codable’s performance under Swift 5. It was posed that performance was much improved. The benchmark points out that it has a little bit but not

Fonts seem to be a very a personal thing. There are demonstrably better and worse fonts, but at the end of the day, I would guess the there are half as many “best” (is favourite) fonts at my workplace as there are engineers. That said, I ha

That would be a good day for everyone, but I don’t see that happening any time soon. TypeScriot has a lot of features and the time to move those through standardization and then runtime (and browser) implementation is nontrivial. If TS run

I think this was addressed directly when Reason was mentioned as a better option... > @orta already answered here, but the tl;dr (at least to me) is that the point here is to make the code base more approachable to to new (and old) contr

I recently read a book about a man from the UK who went to China in the 80’s. He partnered with a US company to start investing heavily in China (mostly manufacturing). It is interesting because (aside from the regulation) it reads very muc

I’ve done that but I never liked the lack of options for foot position. You either have your feet tucked back on the foot pegs or they’re hanging. Neither were optimal for me (maybe partly because I’m tall and having my feet on the pegs fe
