It's people trying their absolute best to be opaque while holding completely obvious political views.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this, Apple's Mail app used to display Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/etc for the last week of email before switching to numeric dates. It would drive me crazy as I mentally work with dates

In online people sometimes write things the way they want them to be, not the way they factually are. In small ways it comes across as wishful thinking, in other ways it's just plain old lying. I didn't feel that the comment trivi

I am against the idea of scanning for the reason that the author pointed out: It's trivial to repurpose the technology to use it in dystopian ways. I however have precisely zero concerns about impersonating hashes: 1. It's trivial

This sounds terrible, but there are some lingering issues which don't sit right: If this person has their original invoice/receipt. Then it's trivial to show that this is not an item which requires that duties be paid. He&#x2

I think Amazon have been their own enemy here, their antics have set the conditions for a race to the bottom. Instead of Amazon's early days where I'd see a large range of options and quality/price levels, I now deal with pag

This segues beautifully into a longer discussion about visual acuity testing charts. It's relevant because even today many VA charts still feature the historical numbering systems which are deeply inconsistent from eye chart to eye cha

I don't feel your example is comparable here, but I'm interested in hearing maybe a different one that conveys your ideas better. The reason for my thinking is that I don't see the problem in a foundry today building a font f

You are 100% correct and my original data is wrong. (imore.com) Apple’s website lists the external drive requirement for 4k60FPS: 4K at 60 frames per second (fps), iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max only, when using an external storage dev

The article is slightly misleading here. The 4k60 ProRes mode is not available for shooting on the 128gb model until an external drive is added, but for any larger capacity iPhone Pro, the mode is available for shooting without the external

The purists answer is to shoot RAW, but many just want a solution that doesn't require any post-effort off the device, for that the answer is "sort of": 1. Taking Live photos can be a good work around, since this mostly maint

Another useful example: You can go to a store and look at something, a couch or a table perhaps. Then go home and have a very good idea of whether or not this item would (1) fit in your space, or (2) match the room. Of course the abilities

I think when it comes to online discourse one also needs to be reminded that there are deliberate external factors stirring the pot. A lot of disharmony in society is beginning online. Other than rephrasing, using AI to automatically add co

I think in this case the changes needed to make AMD useful will open the market to other players as well (e.g. Intel). PyTorch is already walking down this path and while CUDA-based performance is significantly better, that is changing and

My core criticism of the EU developing their tech industry are centered in two issues: 1. Allowing their innovations to be bought out by large US incumbents. Much of the latest and greatest IP started in Europe, and is now firmly held by US
