Fun blog, but I was left hanging as the author never found the issue with the OS level driver (and instead <spoiler>used a workaround library</spoiler>). It's easy to just blame the FTDI driver, but FTDI is used all ov

How would these be serviced? I would be surprised if conventional tire machines could mount/unmount these from wheels.

But we're moving the emissions in a "more solvable" direction. By consolidating the emissions from millions of cars to hundreds (thousands?) of plants, we're making it a MUCH easier problem to address.

Maybe I'm missing something, but no matter how efficient a heat pump is, doesn't it have a limit on how much heat it can pump as ∆T increases? Even here in western NY we occasionally have to deal with -10 F (-23 C) weather for a w

But that comes at the expense of complicated software. Sure, once you've gone through the effort of procuring all that hardware, configuring it to run Kubernetes, reconfiguring your software to run in containers... you're good to

Yeah, same here. If Lyme disease is incurable, seems like we should be studying the western fence lizard.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I'm guessing they tested it and found that it hit every coordinate at least once and said "good enough". Meaning, I don't think it's guaranteed, they just picked one that did.

If that's true, why did Amazon come out with Lightsail? https://amazonlightsail.com

by jstapels 9y ago
Egress pricing for Google and AWS (sans Lightsail) continues to be one of the biggest price differences between them and smaller hosts such as Linode and DigitalOcean. I think Google missed an opportunity here. They should have cut the pric

He's trying to make his audio easier to listen to by using various effects provided by Ardour. The most significant of what he listed is the compressor, which is great for spoken podcasts. It will take any sound that is over a certain

Not sure I follow this logic... Do you expect everyone that rides in the back of your car to have read your owner's manual? I realize in this case they also happen to be the owners, but I don't think that's the point here. Hi

And I bet they thought they weren't going to have to talk about the Mac Pro (again!) during the next ATP :).

Not to sound pessimistic, but as more and more people get forced into metered bandwidth, how is using a plugin that generates extra random traffic "sticking it to the 'man'"? Edit: Yes, I know this is supposed to mask yo

IBM has already ported Java over to the z Systems platform. So why is them also supporting Swift a bad thing here?

I think that Swift as a language has a lot of promise and if it can be proven to work well on the server, it's something that one of the thousands of iOS developers can easily migrate into.

You cut off the rest of my comment, I said the Fn key turns it back into the Backtick/Tilde key. Other than "Shell" programmers, I don't think the backtick is really that popular. System and embedded programmer would pro

I think the missing ESC is probably the majority of the issues the nay-sayers have. I bet if they had just moved the ESC key to the tilde and had the Fn key turn it back into the tilde key, people (developers) would have received the touch

Just one more to add to the other replies. When I'm developing, the Touch Bar is basically useless, but that doesn't bother me because having to use anything up in the FN "row" is an annoying hand stretch for me. However

I honestly don't see how any of these implementations are better than simply using a bool to track whether the queue is empty or not (as suggested in one of the comments on the original article). You could even use the highest bit of t

Unfortunately I think a lot of the points in this article are lost if you assume that the CDN's serving up the TTF for FontAwesome are using GZIP compression.

I wonder how accurate it really is. The demo video didn't match up with the movements at all and the on-screen drawings looked like prerecorded video that they were trying to sync to. It's a neat idea, but without a dedicated comp

Especially when you consider the fact that they've been making kindle's for years... perfect way to merge existing Amazon technilogies.
