More than that, Excel is basically the top competitor of every SaaS. Whatever you're doing some user has a spreadsheet full of macros that does the same thing. https://tomtunguz.com/unbundling-of-excel/ https:&#x

That would kneecap first party recycling and trade-in discounts. Apple's incentive to provide those services is to reduce the size of the secondary market.

The vscode dev slack is just normally quiet, I wouldn't chalk it up to some implicit secrecy about a project with a pretty open team. VSCode extensions can render arbitrary html in web view tabs already. However they're sandboxed

I don't think notation is the barrier, but education. It can't really be standardized because notation is invented all the time, while we still haven't found a better way to teach the syntax of mathematics than a professor sc

You can place the origin at any offset in a circle and rotate 360 degrees to get back to it. One paradigm adopts features from the other to better express complexity or lack thereof, and the cycle transitions when someone decides "ther

I think that we're going to see a rejection of no-code in a few years. Whatever the new word for visual programming is, it comes in cycles and the visual programming tools adopt more scripting integration and then we come back full cir

I don't know about the power rating thing so much. USB-PD is a lot more complicated than having a dumb brick with a rectifier and regulator. And while I trust my cohort of wall warts not to burn my house down, I spend way more on 3rd p

We can make memory 10x faster for 20x the price, but most devices barely need it at 0.5x the current speed so there's no demand to drag that price down.

Scrolling it with a touchbar made me nauseous.

Personally I'm more worried about companies outside the healthcare markets getting access to health data more than insurance companies. But it seems like everyone is in agreement on that. I'd bet money that with consistent access

You get even better results using a DCT instead of DFT since the bins are less correlated.

They have what one could call outsized presence at industry trade shows. At least for a new player in an old industry. As for Cakewalk, Gibson killed them off alongside a bunch of other stupid acquisitions they made in the early 2010s. The

> It's an utterly mindless job I worked as a picker/packer one summer. This is an understatement, even before the robots did the walking for you. It's interesting that the only thing left is to make a robot that can handle

Do they still have trouble with the memory limits on browsers? A couple years ago I remember they couldn't handle more than 10 minutes of audio, which was the dealbreaker for me at the time. And did they kill Cakewalk's products o

Yes, most cable television has ads. It's also more expensive than streaming services. But I'm talking about is in the menus for navigating the service with the remote. I tried cutting the cable two years ago and went back last yea

It's so we can charge people exactly what they're willing to pay instead of creating an average that is a discount for the people willing to spend more and locking out people not able to pay it. It's also a really good filter

I don't mind ads so much on my tv (it's a tv after all) as the notion that they will substantively change the quality and behavior of a device after point of sale with no means to revert or refund the purchase. At least when I sub

Yes. It would be highly inconvenient for me to connect it to my home PC which is in a different room, I don't want to buy or build a HTPC just to connect to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, I use my phone as a remote most of the time,

TCL Roku models will do this. They have some kind of content matching running on the display signal.

There's two sides to homelessness: 1. the health crises of addiction and mental illness 2. the economic crises of wealth inequality and housing costs. These both create "chronically" homeless people, but they're distinct

It's hard to square this take against the billions of dollars spent optimizing dopamine feedback loops on social media and dark patterns to trick users into falling victim.

"Write an FFT" is the DSP engineer interview question that's analogous to tree traversal algorithm whiteboarding. The hard part is remembering how a butterfly computation works, and you'll almost never need to implement

Because it doesn't happen during a renovation. An office is moved or opened and they don't buy cubicles in the first place or spend time and money to move them.

It wouldn't surprise me if an aging and extremely unhealthy population was a contributing factor. We have a 42% prevalence of obesity among adults (1), median age grew in the new millennium (2). And ironically, smokers die so fast that
