Lots of eye rolling in this thread, but at this same time, another current discussion is full of complaints about Azure https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19812919

Yes, there were clear signatures for phone in pocket / in purse / other non-usage actions.

The difference is actually from movement of getting into the vehicle. I don't remember the details of that specific research but I did find it really cool at the time. IIRC, there was also (separate) research that could determine front

FWIW, it's actually possible to determine driver vs passenger side of the car based off accelerometer data (even in pocket). I actually prototyped an app that used accelerometer data to detect phone usage while driving, and that came u

I thought you were joking and then it happened and I was still startled.

I actually really like that the power block can be separated from the charging cable now. Yeah the tabs may have been nice, but the base of the cable would always get mashed.

I'd prefer that Google not add this "feature," instead of just issuing a blog post that will go unread by 95% of people, and adding a setting that will go unknown to the same 95% of people. "Oh whoops we got caught. We&#

I understand free transit does not generally work. However, the Salt Lake region is rather unique in the first place, so I'm curious the effects it would have there. It may still fail but I suspect it would be different than previous s

With how bad the air quality is, I'd be really curious about what would happen if all of the region's public transit was made free. TRAX can be packed quite often, but there's still so much more capacity available in the syst

Yes, but I still see people asking if there's user replaceable RAM in these things too.

They don't, since they use iCloud for data storage (so they do get privacy points!) That's why it's Apple only. I know they are working on some stuff for web/Android, but I have no idea how it will work. Maybe users will

Btw you can disable smart quotes system wide on macOS, it's in keyboard settings.

I map it to Hyper, but you can tweak this to just be control: { "description": "Change caps_lock to hyper/escape.", "from": { "key_code": "caps_lock",

I've done the same but Caps + key to Hyper (cmd+ctrl+option+shift), just to pair with custom shortcuts. But I really love using it for escape. I'm on a 2014 model but not going to the corner for escape is great. Plus I'm abou

If anyone is concerned about migrating to Gitlab for that reason, well, I believe Atlassian is fully bootstrapped and profitable. I personally use Gitlab for my private projects but just thought I'd mention.

Yes, these statistics are typically based on miles driven.

Sounds like they're returning the feed to what it was back around 2007-2009 ish (when I first remember it). Or at least attempting to do so.

As someone unfamiliar with NPM, why does it not lock package names for a certain period of time? Rubygems has a 90 day period, so if a package is completely removed, the name can't be used for that long. That seems like it would help w

I think you misunderstand the role of NPM in this concept. Using NPM ensures that web sites distribute the code to their users. So it doesn't matter if there's only a few hits using NPM, if they are good hits. As the article menti

Most in the article are dropping their current business to focus on bitcoin, despite no understanding. Seems reasonable that at least a couple will fail with that combination.

Author here. Development is indeed on hold for now. However, Crystal core team has plans to build a DSL into Crystal to allow for creating Ruby native extensions. There are some technical limitations with how I handled defining functions, w

No, not all leagues have a realtime API that conforms to the same interface. If so it would really hurt business for companies likes STATS Inc and Sportradar.

One of the heaviest influences is how much/long a person played sports growing up. Most STEM people didn't play sports, or at least not very long growing up. A lot of people who grew up playing sports don't end up in STEM are

Not at the moment. About a year ago I did a proof of concept that replaced ActiveSupport's Inflector module with a fully working Crystal version, which was then compiled as a native extension. Since then, language changes have broken t

Do you mean the 4 minute mile? The mile record has been consistently dropping from the 50s until 1999. However, only 10 high schoolers have broken 4 minutes, although 4 have been in the last 3 years. The closest high schoolers have been to
