Is it browser limitations, or just DRM limitations? Youtube seems to do 4K just fine.

In the end it’s a failure of education. If people could write properly they wouldn’t need autocorrect. Red squiggly lines are useful, but the actual correction should always be done manually by the user himself. Otherwise there’s no learnin

Just because it is currently like that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. You can still read physical books even after hundreds of years.

You’re not alone. I read the comments in the bug linked above. It’s funny that some of the rants mention “I’m switching to X” where X isn’t even around anymore today. TB still works after all this time.

On Windows, I can recommend ManicTime (www.manictime.com) myself. It’s free and all data is only stored locally/offline. I’ve found it to be very useful, especially as it logs away times and the currently focused window titles. You can

I studied with these guys: https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/4/5273474/google-acquires-bi... They did exactly what you did after graduating and their company got acquired (acqui-hired) by Google. Timely wa

And who could fault him for that. After all, why would he care or even want to invest time to make it run on Windows? It’s GPL, anyone can port it if they want to. Git for Windows and Cygwin Git have some issues (I use them daily at work),

> These systems must become more accessible to the average human. I disagree. Firstly, all the commands you mentioned are pretty simple to understand given that they have a manpage and lots of help available online. Secondly, not everyt

Even without doing that, 0% on lithium ion batteries is not actually 0%. Because once you deep discharge it you can’t recharge it again safely.

EDIT: no need to downvote wtallis, he has a valid point! Sorry I misread and misunderstood that, I did not mean to misquote. What you’re saying is of course absolutely true, they should have done much more research at the beginning. Howev

I think you just expected to much from this article. This is not a comprehensive guide to testing SSDs, it’s the story of what the author went through when trying to test SSDs. It’s well written and the author seemed to really engage with t

I don’t know how you came to this conclusion, but Lindt is not an entry-level (whatever that means) chocolate brand in my book. What would you suggest is better?

Fascinating list, many of these I never heard of in my studies. I especially like the “Why they're worth studying” bits, looks like the prof really cares.

That’s not quite true. USB-C cables have a chip [1] inside that negotiates the available capabilities. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Cables

Not only “from scratch”, he even did it from widely available household products. I think he said in the last video that it would have been cheaper and faster if he had bought some of the precursor chemicals directly instead of having to ma

I’d just add that enough sleep is paramount. It’s happened that I made no progress on a problem late in the evening, and then easily solved it the next morning. Or worse, that I made some progress in the evening, and then realized in the mo

Very insightful. Jam session also sounds better, less like work and more like fun. Easier to justify (to yourself and to others) if it doesn’t go anywhere, and less pressure.

Of course it depends on lots of factors, but to see the equivalent eye damage, do an image search for “solar retinopathy”. It’s not just theoretical.

But it’s not a 600mm tele, so the actual area of burn damage is going to be smaller. You’ll still have a blind spot in the center of your field of view, but not the whole eye. Still, I imagine it’s quite a disability either way.

Now imagine that kind of damage being done to your eyes. It hurts just thinking about it, yet some people don’t seem to really believe the warnings.

They may say yes, but then still use backchannels like email and phone to get things done. Which makes the items on the platform out-of-date, underused, or plain wrong. And items people actually put on the platform won’t get done or updated

You can’t catch all the issues in code review every time, and it’s not always you that does the reviews. If you fix everything yourself, the original committer won’t learn anything and the next submissions will have the same issues. Or perh

If they work at the same company, yes. It’s often (always) easier to use the central repo than to figure out connectivity or send patch files. But if they’re in different companies, and there is no central repo visible/accessible for b
