Smaller sensors mean bigger depth-of-field. Shallow depth-of-field is incredibly distracting for video and difficult to work with. Everything is out of focus. It's mostly a photography/art thing to isolate your subject. You can se

Rochester NY is probably the best place in the world for actual snow driving. Daily snowfall during the winter due to lake-effect snow. It's where I trained to drive a rear-wheel drive Camaro. Very useful place.

Ironically I end up using my iPad Pro mostly for TV, since I already use a MacBook Pro laptop with a somewhat decent 16:10 screen aspect ratio. But iPad Pro is such a great reading screen. Wish Apple made an iPad dedicated for video with 16

Pretty sure I was one of the few people that used Wave on an actual collaborative project of dozens of people. It was great, way ahead of its time. I thought it was more useful than Slack is right now. The only real complaint I had with it

A lot of this has to do with the target audience you're drawing: meme makers. Meme makers are all pretty much going to be unsocialized and autistic douche boys & gamers and who seek to make memes for 4chan or Reddit. They're t

This doesn't seem to have a level of "cache-aware server push" that h2o (awesome http/2 server) has. Is there any info on how Nginx deals with cached server push?

And the internet is probably the worst outlet for brand-building. Why would Calvin Klein place their beautiful ad with Kate Moss next to photos of your right-wing friend's AK-47 collection and videos of his deer field dressing skills?

Not sure what your case is? Were you expecting security in broken systems like Android? Instead of forcing security onto a broken system, just avoid that system? The fist step of security: stop using Android. And you haven't explained

Get her an iPhone or iPad, and have her use the built-in password manager.

Yah that's about right. Thanks for this data. I would expect some positivity from politicians compared to HN nerds. BTW this really shows how awful Trump is.
