I'd still be using my 6S+ if this hadn't happened to me. Apparently there's a software problem with the optical stabilization, and it goes haywire. A fix is to override the stabilization solenoids with a magnet next to the le

Many small companies can serve a wider variety of customers more precisely. They also increase diversity so we don’t end up with a few large companies optimizing for their local maximum, which is rarely the market’s.

Greg Graffin of Bad Religion has a PhD in zoology, certainly after he began the band in high school. Something about SoCal punks. His dissertation is of course "Evolution and Religion: Questioning the Beliefs of the World's Eminen

I never used the original app, but use the new FourSquare for discovering food after Yelp grew increasingly anti-user (both consumers and businesses). Makes me cynically wonder how FourSquare is screwing us over.

Yeah, I think the iPhone 5c, especially in combination with those punched-hole cases, hit this spot to a degree, but the market apparently disagreed and they went back to prestige. Teenage Engineering does joy better than anyone else I can

That's called double shot injection molding. The cheaper Nokia Lumia phones use it to great effect. A bunch of products also use clear plastic with the inside surface painted to get a similar depth effect (think Apple Magic Mouse).

I have two of these. Way faster than an Arduino if you just want to set up some dynamic lighting, and still plenty of room for tinkering.

To follow up, yes, it does. But because iPadOS doesn’t support all the swipe gestures on my first generation Magic Trackpad that my Mac does—notably scrolling—I’m disconnecting it. If I’m going to have to touch the screen to scroll, why hav

Small businesses maybe, but large businesses work the cycles of the economy like a ratchet. Bailouts in hard times, buybacks in good times.

I don’t know much about Inkscape’s press capabilities, but Affinity Designer’s are what make it so valuable for me. The first illustration app good enough for me to move off of Adobe. The proprietary format may be necessary to support featu

It's hard to generalize advice; everyone's kids are different. One of many things that frees up some time for us is FaceTime with grandparents. Teaching, reading stories, etc. We also have a lot of kids' books on tape. Nothin

And I’ll bet my Bluetooth trackpad works with this now too.

A keyboard, a trackpad, and a display stand. These are not three different devices!

Next, it would be good if they would also cover the 90% of McDonalds workers who aren’t their direct employees. Pretty weak to say they can’t tell franchisees to follow their policy, and help cover the costs, when they can dictate how to ru

For this to work, all the apps that a person expects to see on their computer should be there, running on an ARM chip. So far, Microsoft hasn’t gotten traction there. Apple will of course pull macOS users along, but it’s been running away f

This has been tried several times. First one I remember was the Motorola Atrix in 2011. Performance might be better now, but it would fail for the same reason they always do: most people don’t want a phone with a Linux desktop.

Can you elaborate how Kickstarter is now ruined? As a creator and backer, this makes Kickstarter better for me. The organization as a whole is maddeningly unresponsive to me, but the workers who voted for, and organized, the union have been

Brings up a good point—the importance of understanding the requirements/levers of other groups in order to get things done. In this case, pointing out the law. Back when IE was ascendant and Mozilla was fading, another group in my corp

Yeah, so many of us got into the trade that way, and in turn developed it into what it became. I’m not proud of my animated GIF phase. Since websites are inscrutable and often irrelevant to the cutting edge internet experience now, it makes

The standard control could use improvements (hm, I'd probably vote for a dictation button that lets me say "next Wednesday" instead of doing math), and we need handsome alternatives like this to nudge it forward. Because user

Good observations. CAD users typically have one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse or 3D mouse. If you took out the mouse-screen translation and directly manipulated the object/scene with your mouse hand, I think you'd have

I saw BeOS as a spiritual successor to the Amiga OS, where it might be used as a turnkey media creation system. I think Apple was the Microsoft of this market, and had enough user/developer inertia to make inroads impossible. They sold

Few directly to market. How they’ve changed the industry is by empowering non-EEs to prototype products that they can then take to engineers to DFM. I know of, or have built, countless products that started as Arduino prototypes, even if it
