After getting tired of Photoshop's magic wand failing on product photos, I built this color replacer with features most online tools don't have: • HSV tolerance (not RGB) - Catches all blues regardless of lighting while ignoring w

I liked the clean interface and on-point functionality, but I loved the loading performance! Several websites which I regularly use for doing JSON diff are extremely slow for large documents. This one does it instantly. Nice work!

Man. They way they market and sell 'average' stuff which won't even raise an eyebrow if it came from any other company is remarkable.

I don't know where you see such a line in Onshape's ToS. Can you point me to it? IANAL (and speak only in an individual's capacity who is hopefully reading the same ToS), but the public documents you create as a free user are

I'm sorry, as far as I know the leadership is pretty clear on that. For a foreseeable future CAM will remain a Pro only feature.

Onshape employee here. I agree with another poster that for most "non-professional" requirements Onshape's free tier is all one should need - sure, the documents remain public if you don't pay. It's prohibitively ex

Sundar Pichai. That's what changed. He's one of the most uninspiring tech leaders of today who just wants to run an already established business with more and more ads with some AI sprinkled upon everything. And cost cutting. That

Then why are you using it? I tried using Gemini once on my Pixel 6. Couldn't play music on Youtube music on verbal instructions, I switched back to Google Assistant. Will try it again after 6 months now. :)

I do understand 3 * O(n) is just O(n), thanks. I was just clarifying my initial typo. However, it's still three/four times the iterations needed - and that matters in performance critical code. One is terminology, and the other is

Yes, wrote quickly without thinking. Even if it doesn't change the complexity, it's still three or four times the operations.

by piyush_soni 2y ago
Oh yes, sorry I meant to write 3 * O(n) which though doesn't change the order is still three times the operations. The example I was remembering was doing filters 'inside' maps.

Really? I mean it 'saves your time' by not having you to keep waiting so that you can do something else in that time. I don't know how that is not useful. Even if I'm not doing anything world changing in those 3 minute

In the Right panel on the page: $1,996,583 Total bounties paid I don't know if I should feel happy or concerned about the security policies of a company that has already given 2 million USD in bug bounties :).

Yes, but of course, that takes more data without their compression and one eventually has to pay more for storage as expected, but at least that option is there.

Oh, then you were probably not pissed enough to search more thoroughly. :) Fortunately, there's a godsend man who wrote a utility called 'PresButan' - https://briankendall.net/presButan/index.htm . Does

It's the built-in mac display that goes blank along with the external monitor. On my Intel 2019 MBP it was very slow (many seconds), on this new M3 it's much shorter but still more than a decent Windows laptop which is almost inst

Oh ... Where to begin. I can write an essay on it, but just to name a few: 1. There's a button on my M3 Mac keyboard that says 'delete'. It deletes stuff everywhere else, but welcome to Finder, this simple button doesn't

I have a modern Dell supported 4K display supporting USB-C to USB-C connection. macOS shows black screen for a few seconds before being able to show anything. Also using the 4K monitor with an actual 4K resolution makes everything very slow

Wow, I thought I'm the only one as when asked in my Team no one agreed to facing these issues - but I faced it on multiple new Macbook Pros.

Completely agree. Have been using a MBP for almost three years now at work (after using Windows machines for a couple of decades), and I can see how laughable many of the design decisions in macOS are (though I highly doubt they were delibe

Even worse, when on top of all these they add an arbitrary length requirement: It can't be less than 8 letters OR more than 12. :|

I would always do that on my previous (slower) Android phones, but it's NOT because they added to the usability, just that they slowed down the interaction significantly when the GPU etc. were not capable enough. On my latest Pixel, I

Those data rates look outrageous! When I visited countries like USA/France, I got international roaming enabled on my phone and it was still close to effectively 1 USD per day, though data was limited to total 5 GB for a month's p

It will be available in India and most other countries by the end of March according to their own website, and I don't think they're going to change their rates in a month's time.
