From the last time I looked into it (I may be recalling this incorrectly): the script is AI generated text that the writer sifted through, edited, and stitched together to form an amusing, vaguely coherent narrative. So it's perhaps cl

This is likely incorrect. The $57.3 million is for the "Platform+" division. It includes profit from homescreen ads, selling of buttons on remotes, and cuts of streaming revenue. It's likely that only a small fraction of the

On a related note, I've always wondered: when code is written with Chinese ideographs in identifiers (variable names etc), is it typically more compact/narrow? I always struggle with variable naming because of the tradeoff between

This is only somewhat related, but I wish semantic versioning had settled on four fields instead of three. A transition from 13.1.2 -> 14.0.0 could be a major update that revamps the API, or a tiny incompatible change. Another field at t

(I'll take this opportunity to repeat an earlier bikeshed of mine, which is that IPv6 address syntax should have used hyphens instead of colons, and dealt with the ensuing "is it a hostname or ip address?" problem by always r

It's the colons that do it, in my opinion. They visually fill the gaps between segments, which makes it harder to pick out what is a digit and what is "empty space". Compare: 6d08:048c:4c3b:57f0:0bca:f236:e8ab:b52e w

The Sonicare is marketed as a "sonic" toothbrush (a marketing tactic that I never really understood), so it's not too surprising that it's in the audible range. I suspect that you, like myself, assumed parent was writing

High-voltage DC links can already transfer gigawatts of power over a few thousand km. So it's within the realm of possibility. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

I have seen some claims that the data was base64-encoded, but I can't find any confirmation of it.

I'd be very surprised if animal glue was used in any engineered wood. Even in fine woodworking it's a niche product; it's expensive and generally doesn't work as well as other glues.

In my experience, the biggest problems for learning Nix (the language) are the lack of type annotations and the tendency to separate function calls from function arguments. The first time you look in `my-package.nix` you find... a dict of f

Is there a name for this sort of construct/macro in lisp? I'm interested in seeing more examples of it, assuming it's common.

It's possible that the brief headache is due to confusion between vergence and focus. I.e., your brain is going "my eyes are converging a point 30cm away, so why am I focusing as though it's infinitely far off?!" If this

It's worth noting that SketchUp is a simple, non-parametric CAD package. What you want is available in most other, more advanced CAD software.

Ah, I misunderstood your comment. When you said it was competitive with the 6900 XT I thought you were talking about GPU performance in general, not just in terms of memory bandwidth.

Does "H. Robinson" have some hidden meaning? I don't see how the name implies a joke.
