I would imagine because the author wants to show moving pictures of the project.

This looks nice! Would you mind commenting a bit on implementation of the actual editor components? It looks like you're heavily using swift/xcode - is it entirely swift? How does the editor itself work, does Xcode have components

I've never understood why I care who does it, honestly. Companies? The government? A person stalking my wife? The negatives are obvious, do I really care who is doing it? These discussions often feel like tax law debate to me. We&#x2

Yup. I'd sell my car almost instantly if I could take a robotaxi to work/etc with zero hassle and near instant availability.

The escalation of data collection will be immense though, once they deploy the fleet. Even if they have to have more human involvement than desired currently , I think the first few years will show growth they could have have dreamed of in

And people will die anyways. It would be the biggest miracle on earth I think if those things ended up being perfect (at least, the ones that work.. not Uber, obviously) . So it's all a numbers game. What's acceptable, and what

Which makes me wonder, what would industrialized farming and eating of insects do to the taste?

Arguably though that's just a level of indirection though, isn't it? Ie, I assume most of the sites I visit track me for advertising purposes. This is no different than Google, it's just that with Google I expect the develope

I think I'd use it more if the drawings were far more detailed, but still kept that napkin drawing look. Though tbh, I'd vastly prefer a printer that just did this, not a camera. Then I can take normal photos with my phone, mayb

What are the biggest features for your use of Anki, if you don't mind me asking? I'm writing my own self hosted backend for this type of thing, and I'm curious what features might be of most help for me to memorize data. Thou

Data churn, I think. But good question, I've debated the same. My current thought on migration is that I'm going to write what is effectively a database (again, it's storing files locally and blah) . Then, if I need to make

I think they're confusing the 1Password browser extension. 1Password has a native app, which I use on both windows and osx, and I just don't install their browser extension for autofill features. Though, given that I avoid autofil

Note, that's if you use autofill at all . I use an installed 1Password app, and avoid browser autofill extensions like the plague. Browser extensions don't have a good track record I believe , regardless of company. I don't

Appreciate your input regardless. Challenging my understanding is appreciated :)

Aren't most things "simple" by that definition though? It's all about specificity, right? Quitting smoking is simple, if you don't talk about ways to overcome addiction. Becoming rich is simple, just get lots of mon

A bit off topic; I'd actively not eat two or three meals a day if I could. I don't find it enjoyable generally, just a waste of time. I love food, but I don't always eat the food I love, so the ones I'm not loving I&#x27

Yes, I did not say easy. I guess my point was, for my wife it's not that simple. For me, it is that simple. My point was that for my wife, there are a ton of other considerations she deals with. Sure, they're mainly in her head (

It's also massively dependent on the person. People like me, yes it really is that simple. I naturally don't even care about eating, and my metabolism seems quite active, as it's hard for me to even gain weight. My wife on

Apologies, it's a made up term. It seems fitting though. Rather than plan the todos like it's something anyone else could read, I write them for me. And because they're just for me, I can make them as tiny as I want. My gener

Funny, I hear anti-competitive not business opportunity. It's a business opportunity now , but as with many government laws, in the future businesses end up depending on government forcing their markets existence. So then they lobby f

That's another good point. I work far better when I have a challenging work-load with real goals. As I mentioned in a nearby post, I found micro-todos to help me visualize my workload (which is usually bigger than I imagined lol) , an

Fwiw, as a non-security at risk casual user; I really enjoy ephemeral chat. I don't like snapchat as a main chat application (ie, Telegram-esque replacement), and aside from that I don't have many options. I think we're going

Exactly. Even if the internet is to blame, this is a moving window. Good yesterday doesn't mean good today, and keeping up with that is needed to be considered "good".

No idea, DDG is my search. I only use google for vague searches where my search terms are very poor but I don't know the subject enough to refine my search more clearly. Sadly, this is somewhat frequent. Regardless, DDG represents easi

Most of the time it doesn't except for when it does. Your statement is overreaching and is a micro optimization in and of itself. Valuing to ignore understanding when it is important to optimize in this manner, and when it isn't.

Dumb question, but can you give an example of using []byte over string? I've got a project where strings aren't exactly crucial, but we're storing a ton of them in memory. We store them as string and, frankly, rarely access m
