Ugh. Mixed feelings. Your solution is rational and your implementation is slick. So, good job responding to poorly thought out rules that make the internet worse. This is similar to food bloggers writing a tome for each recipe because of Go

Thank you! I think you made the right decision.

Shape ID 0010000100 is blurry. I enjoy how the IDs are descriptive. I don't like the nanny filter. It's culturally insensitive because it only blocks a hand symbol that's considered rude in one cultural context but not anothe

It seems you're thinking of Instagram as a photo storing/sharing app. It's not that. It's a photo themed social networking app. If you want to organize photos beyond simple hashtags, you should look for something geared

Clickbait headline. The video is about Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and its historical relationship with nuclear tests during the cold war. Good interesting content with an useless sensationalized title.

Side note: This is an extremely well written question. Thanks for covering all the bases and organizing it clearly and logically.

Not sure my point came across. I did say they should document better. Customers shouldn't have to reverse engineer. But you can't account for how all of your customers are going to use your API. It is the interface. Like, you ment

I can't imagine how or why a company would implement libraries or tools to help their clients consume their data. The API is the interface. Every client is doing something different with it. I do agree that many companies can design an

The only thing I can think of is player comfort. I imagine that huge soundboard is extra loud. Best to not place it directly in front of the player's face.

She appears to write a lot of books about writing and publishing as opposed to novels. I'm guessing that's why her name was attractive; They were targeting the self-help market. Judging by the number of grifters in that space alre

Seems like your irritation is actually pretty rational.

Sounds very similar to a databricks style datalake, except with a custom file format instead of parquet.

They missed one thing that's mostly irrelevant to their point, so I can't trust anything they say, even when they back it up with expert commentary!

This is beautiful. Bravo!

I agree that there is intellectual dishonesty in this conversation, but I disagree that I'm the one who is being dishonest. What exactly is there to subvert if everyone is included?
320.
by mcdonje 3y ago
Including people is not political. People are not being political by being different and wanting to participate. People are not being political for wanting to make technology that works for people who have different needs related to their a

Gotcha. Sounds like a painful lesson. Thank you.

That's super interesting and not at all what I thought. Thank you.

Ok, yes, we're saying the same thing.

This is a good point. Anything to lower the barrier to entry, and UI is the biggest complaint I keep hearing. I don't get many of the UI complaints because I have always used Inkscape, so I have the same problem but in reverse. So, I g

1. Is a triboelectric nanogenerator similar to a piezoelectric component? 2. Would this work any better than a downspout turbine? I suppose that could also be wired in series.

Maybe the $235k should be spent on paying Stuart Semple to market the existing solutions.

I haven't heard of Graphite. But yeah, Inkscape, Gimp, Dark Table, Blender, etc. World class programs. There's no need for this.

I've been on Goodreads, but not in a while. So, take my opinions with a grain of salt. - First and foremost, protection from review trolls. Goodreads star ratings are influential, impactful, and unreliable. - A flexible yet coherent sy
