Even though that’s very impressive I can’t help but think that the end result would look so much better if she used a more reasonable tool to do it.

The problem with social media isn't that we aren't sure how much privacy we want to have or how long the things we say should stick around. The problem is that social media is a gamification of social interaction, and it causes us

I remember the first few years of facebook (back when you had to have a university email address to sign up) and I genuinely think it was a positive, value-added-to-the-world kind of experience. I had good friends on there and we would shar

You have to wonder how many people died because of that. Maybe this is nieve, but it feels like there should be harsh punishment for suppressing or manipulating information that can prevent or lead to people’s death.

One of the reasons I switched out of Dropbox was because they got rid of the version history feature, which I only learned about after desperately trying to recover an old file. I think now they give you 120 days of version history, but onl

I’m not saying that wouldn’t happen, but we need to get away from the idea that non-professionals shouldn’t have access to their own medical information. More education and empowerment is the answer, not less.

> Nvidia users are shitty consumers and I don’t even want them in my userbase. Good Lord. I get that the EGLStream vs GBM thing is controversial, but this is childish. How are you supposed to discuss anything with someone who thinks like

Fins provide drag which moves the center of drag behind the center of gravity. I guess they could provide lift to spin the rocket, but I don't think I've ever seen that on a model that works that way.

It would be cool if it evolved into something mutual between content providers and users. You have a bitcoin/ethereum/whatever wallet associated with your browser, and when you're on a website it spins up a mining process whe

I "bought" mine. I'm not sure what their probability of success is, but if it's around 30% or so I'm fine with that. The world needs a viable alternative to the big 2 mobile OSs, and even if the market share is tiny

I also have a 1700 and with a $100 closed loop liquid cooler was able to clock it up to 4ghz without any trouble at all. Obviously it draws more power that way but it's nice to know the option is there if you ever want more out of it.

I think that's still an open problem. You could render a few random tiles from a few frames to build some confidence in the result. You could also build a reputation system, also running on ethereum, to establish who is trustworthy.

There's one point in particular that took me a while to grasp: while you can write code that runs on the Ethereum network, every single node has to process that code. So if, for example, you had a big 3d animation sequence that you wan

There's a branch/package by one of the devs that uses the native menu bar, native copy paste, drag and drop, and a few other things that make it feel like an actual Mac application. No clue why it isn't the official distribut

If all you want is file syncing then Syncthing is really fantastic. I have a NextCloud installation on a Raspberry Pi 3, and getting it to work well took some suffering. If you use a MySQL database and php 7 it can actually perform pretty w

If you toggle `File -> User Preferences -> Input -> Emulate Numpad` you can have the usual number keys work like the numpad. I actually prefer it that way to so I can change the camera without having to move my hand all the way to

I wish there were better ways to regulate your own access. It's easy enough to make good decisions about where you spend your time when you're in a good frame of mind, but it's almost impossible to do that every minute of eve

Part of the problem is that it isn't an older machine. It's what you get if you buy Apple's most powerful Mac.

I've been doing the hackintosh thing for a few years now. It sucks. Every now and then an update completely breaks it, and it's a crapshoot of disabling different kernel extensions, picking the right nvidia driver, or finding the

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I'm surprised and glad that Apple has broken their vow of silence on ever talking about future products or plans. On the other hand, it's pretty clear from their talk that they are
