EDIT: I know many people love their Apple devices and take criticism of that company as a personal attack, but please consider that I speak from experience of a US person whose laptop and cellphone were stolen in Poland in 2022. Instead

Professors? This post was written by an undergraduate student . A professor would use that as a teaching opportunity to discuss the folly of relying on floating point numbers.

Apparently, to take the processing off of the camera chip, the decision was to: 1. Not use a filesystem on the SD card; 2. Write RAW files only This means software is needed to both transfer files, and to convert them into an image form

The article itself is a very fine example of the content that it criticizes.

Well, people sure do talk about him, he was on point there. That's what we're doing now! And why wouldn't he talk to himself? Clearly it would be a conversation with a much more interesting person than most people around hi

I get that part, but why specifically forgetting Obama's middle name? I don't recall there being too many memes about that, or the "Obama is a Muslim" conspiracy theories caring much about his middle name being Hussein (

Great! This OS will, by design, waste 10% of rather limited SSD space, on a feature that I don't need, that may or may not work , and that also introduces a security risk on top of slowing things down. It's going to be very us

Sorry, that's apples-to-pizzas comparison. You're conflating work and identity . There's an ocean of difference between mimicking the style of someone's art in an original work, and literally cloning someone's l

Sure, but most people have heard of Perelman due to the rejection controversy (particularly, most people in Russia, who don't care about achievements of that sort, sadly). Granted, we're not on a forum where most people go, so I s
