Perhaps your problem is that you’re wearing 2 layers of shoes. Try socks instead. ;)

Burn-in on OLEDs is really just uneven wear. I don’t think it really matters how bright they get for that, unless panel heat is an issue at higher brightnesses.

We have one of these as part of a critical video workflow. Anything we can do to mitigate it? Or do we just hope it’s not impacted / replace it soon?

I mean… the grocery store can make more money by double scanning an item I purchase, or McDonald’s can skim some money by giving everyone one less pickle. At some point the service quality has to be intrinsically motivated by the company wa

It’s just hyperbole. Suburbs have grocery stores too. I’ve lived in many small towns, cities, and suburbs on several states and was never more than 10 mins from a grocery store. I live on the outskirts of the suburbs in an unincorporated pa

Interesting... I like the strategy of having each user be 1:1 with a DB. What would be done for data that needs to be aggregated across users though? If I'm subscribed to another user and they post, how does my DB get updated with th

How do you know if a flag is rolled out or not, once you get to LD integration? What if it’s a flag that’s just not in development yet? Also how long does it have to be 100% before considering it rolled out? I don’t want to lose the ability

Is this a mock-up? Or is this a new feature? This has no information at all.

Not defending the UX, it’s trash. But it starts showing you a timer when it’s more certain (usually around the 6-8 minute mark). I switched from a zojirushi to a Tiger from Costco, and it cooks the rice in half the time, but it has the exac

Can you really just download epic? Like it’s free? I thought it was super specialized and you had to have some kind of business relationship to get access to it. I tried to find it online but didn’t see anything.

Why’s that ironic? There didn’t used to be frontend / backend / full stack devs either. As software engineering has matured and grown in scale, more subdivision of responsibilities is a natural outcome of that. We’re not all just

We have a lot of these at the libraries in Portland! You can borrow all sorts of stuff for free - board games, puzzles, baking stuff, tools, a huge gamut. They also have 3d printers, button making machines, tshirt presses, sewing machines,

Even at $1M/day, the 3 billion from Amazon and Google would last 3000 days, which is ~8.2 years. Nothing to sneeze at! And that’s assuming they make no money themselves, which would extend the runway. A billion is a lot of money. I alw

Texas has a pretty strong and diversified economy. Lots of oil both in midland/Odessa and in the gulf. Energy sector is big in Houston. Decent tech presence in Austin although lots of focus on lower level jobs (phone/support/

Isn’t sales a numbers game for the most part? Like you can convert 10% of leads, so if I need 5 conversions instead of 4, I need to call ~10 more people? A better comparison to software I think would be construction of a novel building. Try

When you refinance, it’s just a new mortgage. You can do it purely for rate, or you can do a cash out refi (refinance at market rate for your house, pocket the equity you’ve built up as cash, but now your loan is bigger). The loan terms are

Have you looked into netdata? It can do this and much more, it’s very flexible. No relation, just a big fan!

Safe Harbor in DMCA does say that repeat infringers should be terminated from service. I do think it’s government overreach because for many, you only have one ISP as an option, and cutting you off from internet access is very severely impa

So just price MariaDB 20% cheaper than MySQL and ride off into the sunset on enterprise earnings? No innovation needed. I wonder if their PostgreSQL compatibility layer can be used with MariaDB outside of the cloud, and if that has any bene

Is a deputy director really an exec? My understanding is that typically VP and up is considered an exec. And a director would be responsible for decisionmaking in a large scale; while a deputy director would focus on execution of the vision

Rabies is such an unfortunate disease. It can live in you with no symptoms for months, and sometimes even years, and then one day you start presenting symptoms and the next day you’re dead. There’s no way to test for it because the way it’s

This kinda feels like how after an auto accident, if the car needs like 15k of body work and the frame is warped, but not enough to total loss it… and they try and repair the car, but afterwards there’s always little things wrong… alignment
