It's possible they have no classifier for "monorail column" so I don't think anything would show up even if it recognized an obstacle was in the way.

IIRC this is the stated reason they're dropping radar, the camera network maintains object persistence but the radar disagrees very frequently with the camera network causing the flickering because the system doesn't know which in

9/11 was not an isolated incident and was the culmination of nearly a decade of damaged ME relations. If you'll remember, Desert Storm had been 10 years before, and Al Qaeda had bombed the WTC 8 years before. It was 9/11 that

This is a very cynical way of looking at development progress. Did the iPhone team underperform by shipping in 2007 instead of 2005?

An Nimitz class aircraft carrier has around 6,000 crew members on board. Sinking an aircraft carrier would be an attack worse than 9/11 and elicit a similar response. Maybe some crew members would escape or get rescued, but a bomb larg

Did you forget the part where we went to war for 20 years and tore the entire region to shreds? Do Iraq, Afghanistan, or Sudan remotely resemble functional sovereign states after US intervention? What about the thousands of drone strikes an

Right, if we've got nukes in the water, who cares about what the on-board reactor is going to do. Whatever happens is certainly not going to be pretty.

by nexuist 5y ago
It depends on where exactly the ship is when the reactor is damaged, but in general water is actually pretty good at containing radiation so my guess is that some wildlife will die or get cancer but it won't have long term effects like

At least for me the dream is not having to have information gatekept by the location and size of a screen. With glasses apps can be as tall and as wide as you want them to be, and many apps won't need traditional UI at all because they

I'm not a graphics expert, but the reason why VR is so intensive is because it has to render the same frame twice from two different perspectives (one for each eye). This is compounded by the fact that low resolution / frame-rate

I am curious why you have such a low opinion of SwiftUI, most third party developers I have heard from are eager to drop Storyboards and switch immediately. The magic involved is not really magic at all, just Swift syntax sugar. Nothing abo

The problem is just that collaborative text editing between multiple users simultaneously is hard. It's a human problem and git attempts to be a technical solution but the abstraction fails at the edge cases. Regardless, what's so

ABS can be disabled by pulling a circuit breaker in the car's electronics box, usually installed somewhere near the wheel or in the glovebox. I would be upset if my car started demonstrating problems consistent with faulty ABS and I or

The point is that you can drive the car onto any road, not that it would be any good at it. I can buy a Camry and drive it off a cliff into the ocean. It's my right as its owner to do that. If Toyota said, nope, even though you paid fu

I'm very confused as to why. According to Finder these have an 8kHz sample rate? How did they find a mic that bad? Or is it intentional? Is there some scientific usefulness that would make these clips easier for a machine to analyze? I

I wouldn't mind. Xcode has an insane amount of cruft built up over the years and maybe 10% of its functionality is used by 90% of developers. I think starting over with something that only caters to Swift + SwiftUI development would be

This is a good way to think of it. We've had clothes for ages but they get boring. We seek different things that look unique because we want to be excited. Our brains didn't like staring at text all day so we started wrapping th

Well, the reason for the Linux utilities is because Linux doesn't actually ship with a GUI; anything you see on screen is drawn by a userspace program that all other programs interact with (said program is called a "desktop enviro

Sadly the new Swift Playgrounds is not out yet, so nobody outside of Apple has had the chance to test it yet.

Ah, okay. As a sibling comment said SwiftUI was inspired by React so it makes sense that some concepts would transfer over. Thanks for the response!

Oh wow, this is very cool added context. Unfortunate that the linked article doesn't include it, although the story works out of context as well.

I took a brief glance at the syntax. Am I correct in thinking this is SwiftUI-like?

I can agree with this. It's not ideal at all.

I'm not in Stamford, but nice try :) Regardless you didn't use my SSID to figure that out, which is my point, we all have lots of data points out there that are more public than SSIDs and those will be used to compromise us much f

Here's a simple one: do we really trust a government agency (or hell, anyone really) to collect intimate and identifiable data about our bodies all while preserving anonymity and securing the data from nation state attackers? Do we tru

Most SSIDs are not unique and can't be used to geolocate on their own. You need to show off a BSSID which is buried in utility menus and unlikely to be accidentally opened by a user. I suppose malware could share your BSSID with a mali
