   Transparent OLEDs are not 100% transparent (especially for IR) and it would impact camera quality and face detection used in faceID.

   From [1]: "In total there were 222,000 apartments in the city. The bombing affected more than 80 percent of them with 75,000 of them being totally destroyed, 11,000 severely damaged, 7,000 damaged, and 81,000 slightly damaged." Fr

   > No, there aren't. That's exactly why Dresden stands out. I don't think it should be treated as a "most destroyed city" contest, but you should really research the scale of destruction in the cities I've me

   Bombing of Dresden is well known, of course, but it doesn't compare to a single bomb that can level cities when it comes to deterring your enemy. I'm not trying to diminish the scale of destruction in Dresden, but there are many c

   Could you elaborate? Are you implying that government in Poland is undemocratic?

   What huge internal problems in Poland are you referring to? I'm genuinely curious, because the situation in Poland is quite stable (single party government), the economy is growing and we don't have migration problems like Germany

   Hiding pointer behind a typedef is a terrible idea (like non-const reference arguments in C++). You never know if something you pass into functions could be modified by them or not. I'd much rather change every place in code where set

    Wouldn't it be easier to add some rope pulling the capsule to compensate for the air resistance? Or would it add too much "noise" because of the imperfections of such system?

    I'm still surprised all these tools are free, he could easily sell them for real money. I've started supporting him on patreon because it felt weird to not pay anything for it...

    I wonder where iPad line will be in few years. Personally I don't see a reason to use an iPad over my macbook, but if this trend continues, then it might be a reasonable pc replacement for most users.

    Great book. I recommend buying a paper/ebook version to support the author. His writing style is very concise and funny so it's easy to follow and it reads very fast. The only thing I didn't like is that for code examples he

    This title is false and clickbaity. Puszcza Białowieska is definitely not on "brink of collapse". Please take a look at http://www.lasy.gov.pl/information/all-about-bialowieza-fore... .

    They are more expensive than normal commuter bikes but you can still get a decent one for under $1000.

    Are you serious? You can define custom types in javascript, nobody programs using only primitives like strings, numbers and booleans.

    Would you rather have your program fail at runtime instead of using a statically typed language? It really baffles me why so many people prefer dynamically typed languages and write large projects in them.

    I'm currently recovering from a PRK surgery (Epi-Bowman Keratectomy specifically). I had the procedure last Thursday and for the first 2 days my eyes felt like they were on fire but then it suddenly stopped and now my eyesight is slowl

    But you still don't get any control over memory layout of your data and how allocations are performed and this could easily cost you an order of magnitude in performance.

    It would be quite amusing if this feature didn't actually exist and it was only an attempt to confuse potential counterfeiters.

    It's hard to optimize your code if you made bad decisions about memory layout of your data structures in the past.
