SD card writes are buffered, this will presumably have too high latency for streaming.

In general these seem like topics that will age poorly, eg. the audacity/gimp/inkscape guides. What if they redesign the UI like Blender did?

I meant it bit of a tongue-in-cheek way, but for the sake of argument it wouldn't be hard for a clean up mission to have an "accident" and actually generate more debris for later missions to clean up. And it might not even be

Concrete Mathematics [1], by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik. Wonderfully written (worth buying for the margin jokes alone) and approachable, but dense with information. Great overview of discrete math and algorithm analysis. generatingfunction

Naive question: doesn't it have to be something old browsers will ignore rather than misinterpret or fail to parse? The 3rd party CSS tooling can pick whatever syntax it wants because it is starting on a green field. Browser probably c

Censorship companies probably can't hire good talent. I'm actually glad to see this, however it might get patched if this tool becomes too widespread.

I think steganography would imply some message was hiding in plain sight in one share. However this is a classic example of a secret sharing scheme, having one share is provably useless. Except here it works in a nice visual way rather th

Sure (I mean that is shady but whatever) but at least it would seem logical to verify the redirect chain ends up on that domain or better yet (since the redirects could change later) only allow the domain if ownership has been verified thou

In [2], especially on the second picture z you can see some solder joints are not consistent or perfect: convex rather than concave fillets and differing amounts of solder. Now of course it still looks better than most commercial PCBs and f

Fully agreed, I tried to stick to the same meta. My rule of thumb was, if I was standing there what could I see? So domain and phone numbers on billboards are fine, camera quality isn't. Though it is hard to avoid accidentally learning

Nice idea! Looks like spaces are preserved, and the bar lengths seem to match the world length. Is that the case? I didn't measure it precisely and didn't check the source code. If so you might want to add some random noise. Somet

Are there statistics on how many moves people used for record runs? I've only seen them measure the time but from the video recording you could probably get a rough count of moves too. I would love to see the trend lines for those. Are

Not a Go person either but I think the joke with the queue is that Go channels are already exactly that - MPMC queue, and with "generics" baked into the language. The Option is just a good idea and sum types should have been in th
